Merge branch '40GbE' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue
Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-02-11 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Jake makes a minor change to prevent a minor bit of work, if it is not necessary. In the case where we do not have a client, there is no need to check the client params, so move the check till after we have ensured we have a client. Correct a code comment which incorrectly implied that raw_packet buffers were freed in i40e_clean_tx_ring(), so fixed the code comment to better explain where memory is freed. Reduce the severity and frequency of the message notifying we cleared the receive timestamp register, since the logic has a much better detection scheme that could detect a stalled receive timestamp register. The improved logic was actually causing the notification message to occur more frequently and was giving the user a false perception that a timestamp event was missed for a valid packet, so reduce the severity from dev_warn to dev_dbg and only fire off the message when 3 or 4 of the RXTIME registers are stalled and get cleared within the same watchdog event. Fixed a bug, where we were modifying the mac_filter outside a lock when handling the addition of broadcast filters. Fix this by updating i40e_update_filter_state logic so that it knows to avoid broadcast filters, which ensures that we do not have to remove the filter separately and can put it back using the normal flow. Refactored how we add new filters to firmware to avoid a race condition that can occur due to removing filters from the hash temporarily. Mitch adds a sleep (without timeout) so that we wait for a reply from the PF before we continue, since the iWarp client cannot continue until the operation is completed. Fixed up a function which could never return an error, to be void and cleaned up the checking of the now null and void return value. Scott limits the DMA sync to CPU to the actual length of the incoming packet, versus the syncing of the entire buffer. Also reduces the receive buffer struct (by a single pointer) and align the driver to be more consistent with other Intel drivers with respect to packets that span buffers. Sudheer adds a field to track the bus number info and modified log statements to print bus, device and function information. Henry adds the ability to store the FEC status bits from the link up event. Also adds the ethtool support for FEC capabilities and 25G link types. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
