Currently only used when packet split mode is enabled with jumbo frames,
IP payload checksum (for fragmented UDP packets) is mutually exclusive with
receive hashing offload since the hardware uses the same space in the
receive descriptor for the hardware-provided packet checksum and the RSS
hash, respectively. Users currently must disable jumbos when receive
hashing offload is enabled, or vice versa, because of this incompatibility.
Since testing has shown that IP payload checksum does not provide any real
benefit, just remove it so that there is no longer a choice between jumbos
or receive hashing offload but not both as done in other Intel GbE drivers
(e.g. e1000, igb).
Also, add a missing check for IP checksum error reported by the hardware;
let the stack verify the checksum when this happens.

FCoE target mode was experiencing issues due to the fact that we were
sending up data frames that were padded to 60 bytes after the DDP logic had
already stripped the frame down to 52 or 56 depending on the use of VLANs.
This was resulting in the FCoE DDP logic having issues since it thought the
frame still had data in it due to the padding.
To resolve this, adding code so that we do not pad FCoE frames prior to
handling them to the stack.

This patch fixes a potential hole when configuring the cycle counter used to
generate the nanosecond time clock. This clock is based off of the SYSTIME
registers along with the TIMINCA registers. The TIMINCA register determines
the increment to be added to the SYSTIME registers every DMA clock tick. This
register needs to be reconfigured whenever the link-speed changes. However,
the value calculated stays the same when link is down and when link is up.
Misconfiguration can occur if the link status changes due to a reset, which
causes the TIMINCA register to be reset. This reset puts the device in an
unstable state where the SYSTIME registers stop incrementing and the PTP
protocol does not function.
The solution is to double check the TIMINCA value and always reset the value
if the register is zero. This prevents a misconfiguration bug that halts the
PHC.

This patch fixes a potential Rx timestamp deadlock that causes the Rx
timestamping to stall indefinitely. The issue could occur when a PTP packet is
timestamped by hardware but never reaches the Rx queue. In order to prevent a
permanent loss of timestamping, the RXSTMP(L/H) registers have to be read to
unlock them. (This used to only occur when a packet that was timestamped
reached the software.) However the registers can't be read early otherwise
there is no way to correlate them to the packet.
This patch introduces a filter function which can be used to determine if a
packet should have been timestamped. Supplied with the filter setup by the
hwtstamp ioctl, check to make sure the PTP protocol and message type match the
expected values. If so, then read the timestamp registers (to free them.) At
this point check the descriptor bit, if the bit is set then we know this
packet correlates to the timestamp stored in the RXTSTAMP registers.
Otherwise, assume that packet was dropped by the hardware, and ignore this
timestamp value. However, we have at least unlocked the rxtstamp registers for
future timestamping.
Due to the way the driver handles skb data, it cannot be directly accessed. In
order to work around this, a copy of the skb data into a linear buffer is
made. From this buffer it becomes possible to read the data correctly

When enabling the hwtstamp mode for Rx timestamping the V2 ptp event type
specific modes (Delay Request and Sync) have been rolled into the V2 all event
packet modes, in order to more accurately represent what hardware is doing.
Hardware always timestamps the Path delay packets when a V2 mode is selected,
regardless of what type was selected (in order to always support Path delay
mode). However this means the user selected modes of timestamping only Sync or
Delay Request is not truly supported. This patch correctly sets the mode for
the hwtstamp config and returns to the user that all V2 event packets will be
timestamped.

The flow control DV macros are used to calculate the flow control
high and low thresholds. This patch annotates these macros slightly
better and fixes the issues below.
The macro variables are renamed LINK to _max_frame_link and TC to
_max_frame_tc. This was to avoid confusion and make them more
readable. It was found that people auditing the code read TC to be
'traffic class' in the 802.1Q definition instead of the max frame
size of the tc. Hopefully it is clear now.
This audit also found the following real deviations from the
theoretical values. Fixed in this patch.
* I multiplied the DV calculations by (36/25) which always
evaluates to 1. This does not match the intended theoretical
value of 1.44.
* IXGBE_BT2KB added 1023 to account for rounding however this
really should be 8 * 1023 - 1 to account for division by 8k.
* x2 multiplication of max frame in DV calculations to account
for updated hardware recommendations.
With this patch the DV values are inline with the recommendations
in the 82599 and 82598 data sheets. Its worth noting I did not
see any dropped frames with flow control on in my experiments without
this patch. However aligning with the hardware specs and
recommendations seems like a good idea here to account for worst
case scenarios.

According to the comment, errata 23 says that the memory we allocate
can't cross a 64KiB boundary. In case of jumbo frames we allocate
complete pages which can never cross the 64KiB boundary because
PAGE_SIZE should be a multiple of 64KiB so we stop either before the
boundary or start after it but never cross it. Furthermore the check
seems bogus because it looks at skb->data which is not seen by the HW
at all because we only pass the DMA address of the page we allocated. So
I *think* the workaround is not required here.

This patch enables hardware timestamping for use with PTP software by
extracting a ns counter from an arbitrary fixed point cycles counter.
The hardware generates SYSTIME registers using the DMA tick which
changes based on the current link speed. These SYSTIME registers are
converted to ns using the cyclecounter and timecounter structures
provided by the kernel. Using the SO_TIMESTAMPING api, software can
enable and access timestamps for PTP packets.
The SO_TIMESTAMPING API has space for 3 different kinds of timestamps,
SYS, RAW, and SOF. SYS hardware timestamps are hardware ns values that
are then scaled to the software clock. RAW hardware timestamps are the
direct raw value of the ns counter. SOF software timestamps are the
software timestamp calculated as close as possible to the software
transmit, but are not offloaded to the hardware. This patch only
supports the RAW hardware timestamps due to inefficiency of the SYS
design.
This patch also enables the PHC subsystem features for atomically
adjusting the cycle register, and adjusting the clock frequency in
parts per billion. This frequency adjustment works by slightly
adjusting the value added to the cycle registers each DMA tick. This
causes the hardware registers to overflow rapidly (approximately once
every 34 seconds, when at 10gig link). To solve this, the timecounter
structure is used, along with a timer set for every 25 seconds. This
allows for detecting register overflow and converting the cycle
counter registers into ns values needed for providing useful
timestamps to the network stack.
Only the basic required clock functions are supported at this time,
although the hardware supports some ancillary features and these could
easily be enabled in the future.
Note that use of this hardware timestamping requires modifying daemon
software to use the SO_TIMESTAMPING API for timestamps, and the
ptp_clock PHC framework for accessing the clock. The timestamps have
no relation to the system time at all, so software must use the posix
clock generated by the PHC framework instead.

to the fact that some slower CPUs can cause the FIFO to backfill preventing
