<id>urn:sha1:e99e7562943ded071fbd77066b1e4aee1e3815c2</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d87d830720a1446403ed38bfc2da268be0d356d1 upstream.

Previously, the ixgbe_msix_other was writing the full 32bits of the set
interrupts, instead of only the ones which the ixgbe_msix_other is
handling. This resulted in a loss of performance when the X540's PPS feature is
enabled due to sometimes clearing queue interrupts which resulted in the driver
not getting the interrupt for cleaning the q_vector rings often enough. The fix
is to simply mask the lower 16bits off so that this handler does not write them
in the EICR, which causes them to remain high and be properly handled by the
clean_rings interrupt routine as normal.

commit 4e0855dff094b0d56d6b5b271e0ce7851cc1e063 upstream.

This patch removes redundant and unbalanced pci_disable_device() from
__e1000_shutdown(). pci_clear_master() is enough, device can go into
suspended state with elevated enable_cnt.

Bug was introduced in commit 23606cf5d1192c2b17912cb2ef6e62f9b11de133
("e1000e / PCI / PM: Add basic runtime PM support (rev. 4)") in v2.6.35

commit ae1c07a6b7ced6c0c94c99e3b53f4e7856fa8bff upstream.

For some reason the reading of the RQDPC register was being artificially
limited to 4K.  Instead of limiting the value we should read the value and
add the full amount.  Otherwise this can lead to a misleading number of
dropped packets when the actual value is in fact much higher.

commit 52285b762b3681669215bf1d17ca6143448ab7d3 upstream.

During MSI-X setup the system might run out of vectors. If this happens the
already assigned vectors for this NIC should be freed before trying the
disable MSI-X. Failing to do so results in the following oops.

commit 8edc0e624db3756783233e464879eb2e3b904c13 upstream.

This patch originated from Hiroaki SHIMODA but has been modified
by Intel with some minor cleanups and additional commit log text.

Denys Fedoryshchenko and others reported Tx stalls on e1000e with
BQL enabled.  Issue was root caused to hardware delays. They were
introduced because some of the e1000e hardware with transmit
writeback bursting enabled, waits until the driver does an
explict flush OR there are WTHRESH descriptors to write back.

Sometimes the delays in question were on the order of seconds,
causing visible lag for ssh sessions and unacceptable tx
completion latency, especially for BQL enabled kernels.

To avoid possible Tx stalls, change WTHRESH back to 1.

The current plan is to investigate a method for re-enabling
WTHRESH while not harming BQL, but those patches will be later
for net-next if they work.

please enqueue for stable since v3.3 as this bug was introduced in

commit d0efa8f23a644f7cb7d1f8e78dd9a223efa412a3 upstream.

SYNCH bit and IV bit of RXCW register are sticky. Before examining these bits,
RXCW should be read twice to filter out one-time false events and have correct
values for these bits. Incorrect values of these bits in link check logic can
cause weird link stability issues if auto-negotiation fails.

<content type='text'>
commit 2e1706f234f86ff71056ef69683d734fbf7e9e40 upstream.

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.
