2021-11-22net: annotate accesses to dev->gso_max_sizeEric Dumazet
dev->gso_max_size is written under RTNL protection, or when the device is not yet visible, but is read locklessly. Add the READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() pairs, and use netif_set_gso_max_size() where we can to better document what is going on. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-11-22net: hns3: add support to set/get tx copybreak buf size via ethtool for hns3 ↵Hao Chen
driver Tx copybreak buf size is used for tx copybreak feature, the feature is used for small size packet or frag. It adds a queue based tx shared bounce buffer to memcpy the small packet when the len of xmitted skb is below tx_copybreak(value to distinguish small size and normal size), and reduce the overhead of dma map and unmap when IOMMU is on. Support setting it via ethtool --set-tunable parameter and getting it via ethtool --get-tunable parameter.

2021-11-19net: phy: add support for TI DP83561-SP phyHari Nagalla
Add support for the TI DP83561-SP Gigabit ethernet phy device. The dp83561-sp is a radiation hardened space grade gigabit ethernet PHY. It has been tested for single event latch upto 121 MeV, the critical reliability parameter for space designs. It interfaces directly to twisted pair media through an external transformer. And the device also interfaces directly to the MAC layer through Reduced GMII (RGMII) and MII. DP83867, DP83869 and DP83561-SP, all these parts support 1000Base-T/ 100Base-TX/ and 10Base-Te standards and have similar register map for the core functionality.

2021-11-19bnx2x: Use struct_group() for memcpy() regionKees Cook
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing compile-time and run-time field bounds checking for memcpy(), memmove(), and memset(), avoid intentionally writing across neighboring fields. Use struct_group() in struct nig_stats around members egress_mac_pkt0_lo, egress_mac_pkt0_hi, egress_mac_pkt1_lo, and egress_mac_pkt1_hi (and the respective members in struct bnx2x_eth_stats), so they can be referenced together. This will allow memcpy() and sizeof() to more easily reason about sizes, improve readability, and avoid future warnings about writing beyond the end of struct bnx2x_eth_stats's rx_stat_ifhcinbadoctets_hi. "pahole" shows no size nor member offset changes to either struct. "objdump -d" shows no meaningful object code changes (i.e. only source line number induced differences and optimizations). Additionally adds BUILD_BUG_ON() to compare the separate struct group sizes.

2021-11-18lan78xx: Introduce NAPI polling supportJohn Efstathiades
This patch introduces a NAPI-style approach for processing completed Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing CPU load. Packets in completed URBs are copied to NAPI SKBs and passed to the network stack for processing. Each frame passed to the stack is one work item in the NAPI budget. If the NAPI budget is consumed and frames remain, they are added to an overflow queue that is processed at the start of the next NAPI polling cycle. The NAPI handler is also responsible for copying pending Tx data to Tx URBs and submitting them to the USB host controller for transmission.

2021-11-18lan78xx: Introduce Rx URB processing improvementsJohn Efstathiades
This patch introduces a new approach to allocating and managing Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing CPU load. A pool of Rx URBs is created during driver instantiation. All the URBs are initially submitted to the USB host controller for processing. The default URB buffer size is different for each USB bus speed. The chosen sizes provide good USB utilisation with little impact on overall packet latency. Completed URBs are processed in the driver bottom half. The URB buffer contents are copied to a dynamically allocated SKB, which is then passed to the network stack. The URB is then re-submitted to the USB host controller. NOTE: the call to skb_copy() in rx_process() that copies the URB contents to a new SKB is a temporary change to make this patch work in its own right. This call will be removed when the NAPI processing is introduced by patch 6 in this patch set. Signed-off-by: John Efstathiades <john.efstathiades@pebblebay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2021-11-18lan78xx: Introduce Tx URB processing improvementsJohn Efstathiades
This patch introduces a new approach to allocating and managing Tx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing CPU load. A pool of Tx URBs is created during driver instantiation. A URB is allocated from the pool when there is data to transmit. The URB is released back to the pool when the data has been transmitted by the device. The default URB buffer size is different for each USB bus speed. The chosen sizes provide good USB utilisation with little impact on overall packet latency. SKBs to be transmitted are added to a pending queue for processing. The driver tracks the available Tx URB buffer space and copies as much pending data as possible into each free URB. Each full URB is then submitted to the USB host controller for transmission.
