fcoe: use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on tx
Fix a bug when using 'ethtool -K ethx tx off' to turn off tx ip checksum,
FCoE CRC offload should not be impacte. The skb_checksum_help() is needed
only if it's not FCoE traffic for ip checksum, regardless of ethtool toggling
the tx ip checksum on or off. Instead of using CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we will
use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY as a proper indication to avoid sw ip checksum
on FCoE frames.

use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on tx path instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (as indicated in

ixgbe: Fix issues with SR-IOV loopback when flow control is disabled
This patch allows us to avoid a Tx hang when SR-IOV is enabled. This hang
can be triggered by sending small packets at a rate that was triggering Rx
missed errors from the adapter while the internal Tx switch and at least
one VF are enabled.
This was all due to the fact that under heavy stress the Rx FIFO never
drained below the flow control high water mark. This resulted in the Tx
FIFO being head of line blocked due to the fact that it relies on the flow
control high water mark to determine when it is acceptable for the Tx to
place a packet in the Rx FIFO.
The resolution for this is to set the FCRTH value to the RXPBSIZE - 32 so
that even if the ring is almost completely full we can still place Tx
packets on the Rx ring and drop incoming Rx traffic if we do not have
sufficient space available in the Rx FIFO.

net/hyperv: Fix the code handling tx busy
Instead of dropping the packet, we keep the skb buffer, and return
NETDEV_TX_BUSY to let upper layer retry send. This will not cause
endless loop, because the host is taking data away from ring buffer,
and we have called the stop_queue before returning NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
The stop_queue was called in the function netvsc_send() in file
netvsc.c, then it returns to rndis_filter_send(), which returns to
netvsc_start_xmit() in file netvsc_drv.c. So the NETDEV_TX_BUSY is

tcp: reduce out_of_order memory use
With increasing receive window sizes, but speed of light not improved
that much, out of order queue can contain a huge number of skbs, waiting
to be moved to receive_queue when missing packets can fill the holes.
Some devices happen to use fat skbs (truesize of 4096 + sizeof(struct
sk_buff)) to store regular (MTU <= 1500) frames. This makes highly
probable sk_rmem_alloc hits sk_rcvbuf limit, which can be 4Mbytes in
many cases.
When limit is hit, tcp stack calls tcp_collapse_ofo_queue(), a true
latency killer and cpu cache blower.
Doing the coalescing attempt each time we add a frame in ofo queue
permits to keep memory use tight and in many cases avoid the
tcp_collapse() thing later.
Tested on various wireless setups (b43, ath9k, ...) known to use big skb
truesize, this patch removed the "packets collapsed in receive queue due
to low socket buffer" I had before.
This also reduced average memory used by tcp sockets.

ixgbe: Replace standard receive path with a page based receive
This patch replaces the existing Rx hot-path in the ixgbe driver with a new
implementation that is based on performing a double buffered receive. The
ixgbe driver already had something similar in place for its' packet split
path, however in that case we were still receiving the header for the
packet into the sk_buff. The big change here is the entire receive path
will receive into pages only, and then pull the header out of the page and
copy it into the sk_buff data. There are several motivations behind this
approach.
First, this allows us to avoid several cache misses as we were taking a
set of cache misses for allocating the sk_buff and then another set for
receiving data into the sk_buff. We are able to avoid these misses on
receive now as we allocate the sk_buff when data is available.
Second we are able to see a considerable performance gain when an IOMMU is
enabled because we are no longer unmapping every buffer on receive.
Instead we can delay the unmap until we are unable to use the page, and
instead we can simply call sync_single_range on the half of the page that
contains new data.
Finally we are able to drop a considerable amount of code from the driver
as we no longer have to support 2 different receive modes, packet split and
one buffer. This allows us to optimize the Rx path further since less
branching is required.

arp: allow arp processing to honor per interface arp_accept sysctl
I found recently that the arp_process function which handles all of our received
arp frames, is using IPV4_DEVCONF_ALL macro to check the state of the arp_process

interfaces accept gratuitous arps. This patch corrects that, allowing

memcg: free mem_cgroup by RCU to fix oops
After fixing the GPF in mem_cgroup_lru_del_list(), three times one
machine running a similar load (moving and removing memcgs while
swapping) has oopsed in mem_cgroup_zone_nr_lru_pages(), when retrieving
memcg zone numbers for get_scan_count() for shrink_mem_cgroup_zone():
this is where a struct mem_cgroup is first accessed after being chosen
by mem_cgroup_iter().
Just what protects a struct mem_cgroup from being freed, in between
mem_cgroup_iter()'s css_get_next() and its css_tryget()? css_tryget()
fails once css->refcnt is zero with CSS_REMOVED set in flags, yes: but
what if that memory is freed and reused for something else, which sets
"refcnt" non-zero? Hmm, and scope for an indefinite freeze if refcnt is
left at zero but flags are cleared.
It's tempting to move the css_tryget() into css_get_next(), to make it
really "get" the css, but I don't think that actually solves anything:
the same difficulty in moving from css_id found to stable css remains.
But we already have rcu_read_lock() around the two, so it's easily fixed
if __mem_cgroup_free() just uses kfree_rcu() to free mem_cgroup.
However, a big struct mem_cgroup is allocated with vzalloc() instead of
kzalloc(), and we're not allowed to vfree() at interrupt time: there
doesn't appear to be a general vfree_rcu() to help with this, so roll
our own using schedule_work(). The compiler decently removes
vfree_work() and vfree_rcu() when the config doesn't need them.
