The X540's internal thermal sensor should not be enabled for all devices, but
only those devices which enable it in the NVM image. It is expected that
actively cooled devices will have it enabled, but passively cooled devices might
not want it enabled. This is due to passively cooled devices operating very near
the thermal threshold, sometimes within the margin of error of the thermal
sensor. Thus these devices may not be good candidates for using the thermal
sensor.
This patch uses the enabled bit in the FWSM register to check whether we should
be enabling the thermal sensor, and only sets the THERMAL_SENSOR_CAPABLE flag
for those devices which have it enabled.

The XOFF received statistic registers are per priority based and not per
traffic class. The ixgbe driver was incorrectly considering them to be for
each traffic class; and then disabling the "Tx hang" check for the queues
that belonged to the particular traffic class that had received PFC frames.
The above logic worked fine in scenario where the user priority and traffic
class number matched e.g. priority 0 is mapped to traffic class 0 and so on.
But, when multiple user priorities are mapped to a single traffic class or
when user priorities and traffic class numbers do not line up; the ixgbe
driver may disable the "Tx hang" check for queues belonging to a traffic
class that did not receive PFC frames and keep the "Tx hang" check enabled
for the queues that did receive the PFC frames.
This patch corrects the above in the code by considering the statistics
on a per priority basis; then getting the traffic class the user priority
belongs to and disabling the "Tx hang" check for queues that belong
to that traffic class.

There was a bitwise operation error in the fdb_add block

This was the opposite of the intent because the hardware

This was missed because until recently iproute2 did not

The way the code was previously written it was causing DCA to prefetch the

Therefore:

- Remove separate boolean options for PTP clock drivers that are built
as part of net driver modules. (This also fixes cases where the PTP
subsystem is wrongly forced to be built-in.)
- Set 'default y' for PTP clock drivers that depend on specific net

In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is
used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc.
eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0
VF VF PF
| | | <-- stand-in for uplink
| | |
--------------------------
| Embedded Switch |
--------------------------
|
MAC <-- uplink
But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses
to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link.
This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols
to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF.
In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently
being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer.
This is incorrect.
This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the
hardware to prevent this behavior.

This patch modifies when and where PTP registers and data are set. Previously
a work-around was used inside cyclecounter_start in order to reset some of the
time registers. This patch creates a new ixgbe_ptp_reset specifically for this
purpose. The cyclecounter configuration has trimmed down to only modify what
is necessary. Due to hardware conditions after probe and before open, PTP init
has now moved into the ixgbe_open call. This allows the ptp device name in the
sysfs to be the ethernet device name instead of the MAC address.
The cyclecounter check flag is renamed to PTP_ENABLED and is used to prevent
PTP init from happening when PTP has not been enabled.

2) Make SCTP more network namespace aware, from Eric Biederman.
3) TEAM driver now works with non-ethernet devices, from Jiri Pirko.

7) Packet BPF filter supports MOD and XOR, from Eric Dumazet and Daniel

8) Increate the loopback default MTU to 64K, from Eric Dumazet.
9) Use a per-task rather than per-socket page fragment allocator for
outgoing networking traffic. This benefits processes that have very
many mostly idle sockets, which is quite common.
From Eric Dumazet.
10) Use up to 32K for page fragment allocations, with fallbacks to
smaller sizes when higher order page allocations fail. Benefits are
a) less segments for driver to process b) less calls to page
allocator c) less waste of space.
From Eric Dumazet.
11) Allow GRO to be used on GRE tunnels, from Eric Dumazet.
12) VXLAN device driver, one way to handle VLAN issues such as the
limitation of 4096 VLAN IDs yet still have some level of isolation.
From Stephen Hemminger.
13) As usual there is a large boatload of driver changes, with the scale
perhaps tilted towards the wireless side this time around.
Fix up various fairly trivial conflicts, mostly caused by the user
namespace changes.

allows us to avoid some expensive atomic operations in the form of
get_page/put_page. In perf I have seen CPU utilization for put_page drop
