Here is the big staging driver updates for 4.3-rc1.
Lots of things all over the place, almost all of them trivial fixups and
changes. The usual IIO updates and new drivers and we have added the
MOST driver subsystem which is getting cleaned up in the tree. The
ozwpan driver is finally being deleted as it is obviously abandoned and
no one cares about it.
Full details are in the shortlog, and all of these have been in
linux-next with no reported issues.

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame
(ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new
frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program
unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then
calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are
VALID frames.
To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames
to find VALID frames at poll() like netlink_alloc_skb(),
netlink_forward_ring() finding an UNUSED frame at skb allocation.

Support for setting VF's corresponding BGX LMAC in internal
loopback mode. This mode can be used for verifying basic HW
functionality such as packet I/O, RX checksum validation,
CQ/RBDR interrupts, stats e.t.c. Useful when DUT has no external
network connectivity.
'loopback' mode can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.
Note: This feature is not supported when no of VFs enabled are

This patch adds support for handling multiple qsets assigned to a
single VF. There by increasing no of queues from earlier 8 to max
no of CPUs in the system i.e 48 queues on a single node and 96 on
dual node system. User doesn't have option to assign which Qsets/VFs
to be merged. Upon request from VF, PF assigns next free Qsets as
secondary qsets. To maintain current behavior no of queues is kept
to 8 by default which can be increased via ethtool.
If user wants to unbind NICVF driver from a secondary Qset then it
should be done after tearing down primary VF's interface.

This patch configures HW to strip 802.1Q header if found in a
receiving packet. The stripped VLAN ID and TCI information is
passed on to software via CQE_RX. Also sets netdev's 'vlan_features'
so that other HW offload features can be used for tagged packets.
This offload feature can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.
Network stack normally ignores RPS for 802.1Q packets and hence low
throughput. With this offload enabled throughput for tagged packets
will be almost same as normal packets.
Note: This patch doesn't enable HW VLAN insertion for transmit packets.

====================
Optimize the snmp stat aggregation for large cpus
While creating 1000 containers, perf is showing lot of time spent in
snmp_fold_field on a large cpu system.
The current patch tries to improve by reordering the statistics gathering.
Please note that similar overhead was also reported while creating
veth pairs https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/19/556
Changes in V4:
- remove 'item' variable and use IPSTATS_MIB_MAX to avoid sparse
warning (Eric) also remove 'item' parameter (Joe)
- add missing memset of padding.
Changes in V3:
- use memset to initialize temp buffer in leaf function. (David)
- use memcpy to copy the buffer data to stat instead of unalign_pu (Joe)
- Move buffer definition to leaf function __snmp6_fill_stats64() (Eric)
-
Changes in V2:
- Allocate the stat calculation buffer in stack. (Eric)
Setup:
160 cpu (20 core) baremetal powerpc system with 1TB memory
1000 docker containers was created with command
docker run -itd ubuntu:15.04 /bin/bash in loop
observation:
Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) perf data showed, creating veth interfaces resulting in
the below code path was taking more time.
rtnl_fill_ifinfo
-> inet6_fill_link_af
-> inet6_fill_ifla6_attrs
-> snmp_fold_field
proposed idea:
currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data to of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).
The patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.
Performance of docker creation improved by around more than 2x
after the patch.

Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) and perf data showed 50% ovehead in snmp_fold_field.
reason: currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).
idea: This patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.
Docker creation got faster by more than 2x after the patch.
Result:
Before After
Docker creation time 6.836s 3.25s
cache miss 2.7% 1.41%
perf before:
50.73% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_fold_field
9.07% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
3.49% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] veth_stats_one
2.85% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
perf after:
10.57% docker docker [.] scanblock
8.37% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
6.91% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_get_cpu_field

On Alpha we have spinlocks that are 32b in size and an efficient
cmpxchg64 implementation, so we qualify to make use of cmpxchg backed
lockrefs. Select the ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF Kconfig symbol and provide
a trivial implementation of arch_spin_value_unlocked to satisfy the
lockref code.
Using Linus' simple testcase from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/77466 on a dual CPU
ES47 system I see around an 8% gain:

The driver has a I2C device id table that is used to create the modaliases
and already contains a "ltc3589" device id. So the modalias is unnecessary.

openvswitch: Cleanup post vport conversion.
After converting all vport to netdev implmentations there
is no need for some of vport functionality.

Since all vport types are now backed by netdev, we can directly
use netdev stats. Following patch removes redundant stat
from vport.
