<title>drivers: Remove explicit invocations of mmiowb()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fb24ea52f78e0d595852e09e3a55697c8f442189</id>
<content type='text'>
mmiowb() is now implied by spin_unlock() on architectures that require
it, so there is no reason to call it from driver code. This patch was
generated using coccinelle:

	@mmiowb@
	@@
	- mmiowb();

and invoked as:

$ for d in drivers include/linux/qed sound; do \
spatch --include-headers --sp-file mmiowb.cocci --dir $d --in-place; done

NOTE: mmiowb() has only ever guaranteed ordering in conjunction with
spin_unlock(). However, pairing each mmiowb() removal in this patch with
the corresponding call to spin_unlock() is not at all trivial, so there
is a small chance that this change may regress any drivers incorrectly
relying on mmiowb() to order MMIO writes between CPUs using lock-free
synchronisation. If you've ended up bisecting to this commit, you can
reintroduce the mmiowb() calls using wmb() instead, which should restore
the old behaviour on all architectures other than some esoteric ia64
systems.

<title>net: move skb-&gt;xmit_more hint to softnet data</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6b16f9ee89b8d5709f24bc3ac89ae8b5452c0d7c</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two reasons for this.

First, the xmit_more flag conceptually doesn't fit into the skb, as
xmit_more is not a property related to the skb.
Its only a hint to the driver that the stack is about to transmit another
packet immediately.

Second, it was only done this way to not have to pass another argument
to ndo_start_xmit().

We can place xmit_more in the softnet data, next to the device recursion.
The recursion counter is already written to on each transmit. The "more"
indicator is placed right next to it.

Drivers can use the netdev_xmit_more() helper instead of skb-&gt;xmit_more
to check the "more packets coming" hint.

skb-&gt;xmit_more is retained (but always 0) to not cause build breakage.

This change takes care of the simple s/skb-&gt;xmit_more/netdev_xmit_more()/
conversions.  Remaining drivers are converted in the next patches.

<content type='text'>
There are some new e1000e devices can only be woken up from D3 one time,
by plugging Ethernet cable. Subsequent cable plugging does set PME bit
correctly, but it still doesn't get woken up.

Since e1000e connects to the root complex directly, we rely on ACPI to
wake it up. In this case, the GPE from _PRW only works once and stops
working after that. Though it appears to be a platform bug, e1000e
maintainers confirmed that I219 does not support D3.

So disable runtime PM on CNP+ chips. We may need to disable earlier
generations if this bug also hit older platforms.

According to comments in &lt;linux/netdevice.h&gt; we should return either &gt;0
or -errno from -&gt;ndo_set_features() if changing dev-&gt;features by itself.

Return 1 in such places to notify netdev_update_features() about applied
changes in dev-&gt;features.

I'm seeing series of e1000e resets (sometimes endless) at system boot
if something generates tx traffic at this time. In my case this is
netconsole who sends message "e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Some CPU C-states
have been disabled in order to enable jumbo frames" from e1000e itself.
As result e1000_watchdog_task sees used tx buffer while carrier is off
and start this reset cycle again.

e1000e sets different WoL settings in system suspend callback and
runtime suspend callback.

The suspend direct complete optimization leaves e1000e in runtime
suspended state with wrong WoL setting during system suspend.

To fix this, we need to disable suspend direct complete optimization to
let e1000e always use suspend callback to set correct WoL during system
suspend.

<content type='text'>
While reviewing code, I noticed that Eric Dumazet recommends that
drivers check the return code of napi_complete_done, and use that
to decide to enable interrupts or not when exiting poll.  One of
the Intel drivers was already fixed (ixgbe).

Upon looking at the Intel drivers as a whole, we are handling our
polling and NAPI exit in a few different ways based on whether we
have multiqueue and whether we have Tx cleanup included. Several
drivers had the bug of exiting NAPI with return 0, which appears
to mess up the accounting in the stack.

Consolidate all the NAPI routines to do best known way of exiting
and to just mostly look like each other.
1) check return code of napi_complete_done to control interrupt enable
2) return the actual amount of work done.
3) return budget immediately if need NAPI poll again

Tested the changes on e1000e with a high interrupt rate set, and
it shows about an 8% reduction in the CPU utilization when busy
polling because we aren't re-enabling interrupts when we're about
to be polled.
