Michael Chan 7f62ad5d37 [TG3]: TSO workaround fixes.
1.  Add race condition check after netif_stop_queue().  tg3_tx() runs
    without netif_tx_lock and can race with tg3_start_xmit_dma_bug() ->
    tg3_tso_bug().

2.  Firmware TSO in 5703/5704/5705 also have the same TSO limitation,
    i.e. they cannot handle TSO headers bigger than 80 bytes.  Rename
    TG3_FL2_HW_TSO_1_BUG to TG3_FL2_TSO_BUG and set this flag on
    these chips as well.

3.  Update version to 3.74.

Change to a different ASF heartbeat message code to improve
reliability.

There were some reports of unintended resets on real time kernels
where the timer may be slow and cause the heartbeat to be late.
Netpoll will also have the same problem because the timer irq will
be unavailable.

Using the new heartbeat code, the ASF firmware will also check the
ring condition before resetting the chip when the heartbeat is
expiring.

Michael Chan 1b2a720506 [TG3]: Fix tx race condition
Fix a subtle race condition between tg3_start_xmit() and tg3_tx()
discovered by Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>:

CPU0					CPU1
tg3_start_xmit()
	if (tx_ring_full) {
		tx_lock
					tg3_tx()
						if (!netif_queue_stopped)
		netif_stop_queue()
		if (!tx_ring_full)
						update_tx_ring 
			netif_wake_queue()
		tx_unlock
	}

Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in tg3_tx() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above.  This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if tg3_tx() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring.  The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.

The following changes are made:

1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.

2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock.  This eliminates one spinlock in tg3_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.

3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx() before calling
netif_wake_queue().

4. Change TX_BUFFS_AVAIL to an inline function with a memory barrier.
Herbert and David suggested using the memory barrier instead of
volatile.

5. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx().  This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

6. Update version to 3.65.

Michael Chan 00b7050426 [TG3]: Convert to non-LLTX
Herbert Xu pointed out that it is unsafe to call netif_tx_disable()
from LLTX drivers because it uses dev->xmit_lock to synchronize
whereas LLTX drivers use private locks.

Convert tg3 to non-LLTX to fix this issue. tg3 is a lockless driver
where hard_start_xmit and tx completion handling can run concurrently
under normal conditions. A tx_lock is only needed to prevent
netif_stop_queue and netif_wake_queue race condtions when the queue
is full.

So whether we use LLTX or non-LLTX, it makes practically no
difference.

Michael Chan df3e654818 [TG3]: Add recovery logic when MMIOs are re-ordered
Add recovery logic when we suspect that the system is re-ordering
MMIOs. Re-ordered MMIOs to the send mailbox can cause bogus tx
completions and hit BUG_ON() in the tx completion path.

tg3 already has logic to handle re-ordered MMIOs by flushing the MMIOs
that must be strictly ordered (such as the send mailbox).  Determining
when to enable the flush is currently a manual process of adding known
chipsets to a list.

The new code replaces the BUG_ON() in the tx completion path with the
call to tg3_tx_recover(). It will set the TG3_FLAG_MBOX_WRITE_REORDER
flag and reset the chip later in the workqueue to recover and start
flushing MMIOs to the mailbox.

A message to report the problem will be printed. We will then decide
whether or not to add the host bridge to the list of chipsets that do
re-ordering.

We may add some additional code later to print the host bridge's ID so
that the user can report it more easily.

The assumption that re-ordering can only happen on x86 systems is also
removed.

1) Make sure MEMARB_ENABLE is set when we probe the SRAM

2) Always try to sync with the firmware, if there is no
   firmware running do not treat it as an error and instead
   just report it the first time we notice this condition.

3) If there is no valid SRAM signature, assume the device

Michael Chan bbadf503d7 [TG3]: Speed up SRAM access (2nd version)
Speed up SRAM read and write functions if possible by using MMIO
instead of config. cycles. With this change, the post reset signature
done at the end of D3 power change must now be moved before the D3
power change.

IBM reported a problem on powerpc blades during ethtool self test that
was caused by the memory test taking excessively long. Config.  cycles
are very slow on powerpc and the memory test can take more than 10
seconds to complete using config. cycles.

David Miller informed me that an earlier version of the patch caused
problems on sparc64 systems with built-in tg3 chips. This version
fixes the problem by excluding all SUN built-in tg3 chips from doing
MMIO SRAM access.

TG3_FLAG_EEPROM_WRITE_PROT is also set unconditionally when
TG3_FLG2_SUN_570X is set. This should be sane as all SUN chips are
built-in and do not require Vaux switching.

1. MAC_RX_MODE reset must be done before setting up the MAC_MODE

2. Skip MAC loopback test on 5780 because of hardware errata. Normal
   traffic including PHY loopback is not affected by the errata.

3. PHY loopback fails intermittently on 5708S and this is fixed by

   mode register. A MAC_RX_MODE reset is also added.

4. Return -EINVAL in tg3_nway_reset() if device is in TBI mode. Allow

Michael Chan 6892914fb7 [TG3]: Add indirect register method for 5703 behind ICH
This patch adds the new workaround for 5703 A1/A2 if it is behind
certain ICH bridges. The workaround disables memory and uses config.
cycles only to access all registers. The 5702/03 chips can mistakenly
decode the special cycles from the ICH chipsets as memory write cycles,
causing corruption of register and memory space. Only certain ICH
bridges will drive special cycles with non-zero data during the address
phase which can fall within the 5703's address range. This is not an ICH
bug as the PCI spec allows non-zero address during special cycles.
However, only these ICH bridges are known to drive non-zero addresses
during special cycles.

The indirect_lock is also changed to spin_lock_irqsave from spin_lock_bh
because it is used in irq handler when using the indirect method to
disable interrupts.

David S. Miller f47c11eecc [TG3]: Eliminate all hw IRQ handler spinlocks.
Move all driver spinlocks to be taken at sw IRQ
context only.

This fixes the skb_copy() we were doing with hw
IRQs disabled (which is illegal and triggers a
BUG() with HIGHMEM enabled).  It also simplifies
the locking all over the driver tremendously.

We accomplish this feat by creating a special
sequence to synchronize with the hw IRQ handler
using a binary state and synchronize_irq().
This idea is from Herbert Xu.

Thanks to Michael Chan for helping to track down
all of the race conditions in initial versions
of this code.

David S. Miller 15f9850d3c [TG3]: Set minimal hw interrupt mitigation.
Even though we do software interrupt mitigation
via NAPI, it still helps to have some minimal
hw assisted mitigation.

This helps, particularly, on systems where register
I/O overhead is much greater than the CPU horsepower.

For example, it helps on NUMA systems.  In such cases
the PIO overhead to disable interrupts for NAPI accounts
for the majority of the packet processing cost.  The
CPU is fast enough such that only a single packet is
processed by each NAPI poll call.

Thanks to Michael Chan for reviewing this patch.

David S. Miller fac9b83ea7 [TG3]: Add tagged status support.
When supported, use the TAGGED interrupt processing support
the chip provides.  In this mode, instead of a "on/off" binary
semaphore, an incrementing tag scheme is used to ACK interrupts.

All MSI supporting chips support TAGGED mode, so the tg3_msi()
interrupt handler uses it unconditionally.  This invariant is
verified when MSI support is tested.

Since we can invoke tg3_poll() multiple times per interrupt under
high packet load, we fetch a new copy of the tag value in the
status block right before we actually do the work.

Also, because the tagged status tells the chip exactly which
work we have processed, we can make two optimizations:

1) tg3_restart_ints() need not check tg3_has_work()
2) the tg3_timer() need not poke the chip 10 times per
   second to keep from losing interrupt events

Based upon valuable feedback from Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com>
