Implement the ndo_setup_tc() operation with 2 traffic classes.
Current Solarstorm controllers do not implement TX queue priority, but
they do allow queues to be 'paced' with an enforced delay between
packets. Paced and unpaced queues are scheduled in round-robin within
two separate hardware bins (paced queues with a large delay may be
placed into a third bin temporarily, but we won't use that). If there
are queues in both bins, the TX scheduler will alternate between them.
If we make high-priority queues unpaced and best-effort queues paced,
and high-priority queues are mostly empty, a single high-priority queue
can then instantly take 50% of the packet rate regardless of how many
of the best-effort queues have descriptors outstanding.
We do not actually want an enforced delay between packets on best-
effort queues, so we set the pace value to a reserved value that
actually results in a delay of 0.

Long before this driver went into mainline, it had support for
multiple TX queues per port, with lockless TX enabled. Since Linux
did not know anything of this, filling up any hardware TX queue would
stop the core TX queue and multiple hardware TX queues could fill up
before the scheduler reacted. Thus it was necessary to keep a count
of how many TX queues were stopped and to wake the core TX queue only
when all had free space again.
The driver also previously (ab)used the per-hardware-queue stopped
flag as a counter to deal with various things that can inhibit TX, but
it no longer does that.
Remove the per-channel tx_stop_count, tx_stop_lock and
per-hardware-queue stopped count and just use the networking core
queue state directly.

Whenever we add DMA descriptors to a TX ring and update the ring
pointer, the TX DMA engine must first read the new DMA descriptors and
then start reading packet data. However, all released Solarflare 10G
controllers have a 'TX push' feature that allows us to reduce latency
by writing the first new DMA descriptor along with the pointer update.
This is only useful when the queue is empty. The hardware should
ignore the pushed descriptor if the queue is not empty, but this check
is buggy, so we must do it in software.
In order to tell whether a TX queue is empty, we need to compare the
previous transmission count (write_count) and completion count
(read_count). However, if we do that every time we update the ring
pointer then read_count may ping-pong between the caches of two CPUs
running the transmission and completion paths for the queue.
Therefore, we split the check for an empty queue between the
completion path and the transmission path:
- Add an empty_read_count field representing a point at which the
completion path saw the TX queue as empty.
- Add an old_write_count field for use on the completion path.
- On the completion path, whenever read_count reaches or passes
old_write_count the TX queue may be empty. We then read
write_count, set empty_read_count if read_count == write_count,
and update old_write_count.
- On the transmission path, we read empty_read_count. If it's set, we
compare it with the value of write_count before the current set of
descriptors was added. If they match, the queue really is empty and
we can use TX push.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Checksum generation is an attribute of our hardware TX queues, not TX
descriptors. We previously used a single queue and turned checksum
generation on or off as requested through ethtool. However, this can
result in regenerating checksums in raw packets that should not be
modified. We now create 2 hardware TX queues with checksum generation
on or off. They are presented to the net core as one queue since it
does not know how to select between them.
The self-test verifies that a bad checksum is unaltered on the queue
with checksum generation off.

Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER
architecture does:
This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices
are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423).
I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for
KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it
difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I
CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated.
A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the
pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's
NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before.
If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register
a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works
with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate
dma_mapping_ops per device.
The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the
device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per
device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function
so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different
dma_mapping_error functions.
The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch
is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in
all the architecture.
This patch:
dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA
operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device.
Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER
IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device
argument.
