net: provide macros for commonly copied lockless queue stop/wake code A lot of drivers follow the same scheme to stop / start queues without introducing locks between xmit and NAPI tx completions. I'm guessing they all copy'n'paste each other's code. The original code dates back all the way to e1000 and Linux 2.6.19. Smaller drivers shy away from the scheme and introduce a lock which may cause deadlocks in netpoll. Provide macros which encapsulate the necessary logic. The macros do not prevent false wake ups, the extra barrier required to close that race is not worth it.

net: move HDS config from ethtool state Separate the HDS config from the ethtool state struct. The HDS config contains just simple parameters, not state. Having it as a separate struct will make it easier to clone / copy and also long term potentially make it per-queue.

netdev: add per-queue statistics The ethtool-nl family does a good job exposing various protocol related and IEEE/IETF statistics which used to get dumped under ethtool -S, with creative names. Queue stats don't have a netlink API, yet, and remain a lion's share of ethtool -S output for new drivers. Not only is that bad because the names differ driver to driver but it's also bug-prone. Intuitively drivers try to report only the stats for active queues, but querying ethtool stats involves multiple system calls, and the number of stats is read separately from the stats themselves. Worse still when user space asks for values of the stats, it doesn't inform the kernel how big the buffer is. If number of stats increases in the meantime kernel will overflow user buffer. Add a netlink API for dumping queue stats. Queue information is exposed via the netdev-genl family, so add the stats there. Support per-queue and sum-for-device dumps. Latter will be useful when subsequent patches add more interesting common stats than just bytes and packets. The API does not currently distinguish between HW and SW stats. The expectation is that the source of the stats will either not matter much (good packets) or be obvious (skb alloc errors).

net: piggy back on the memory barrier in bql when waking queues Drivers call netdev_tx_completed_queue() right before netif_txq_maybe_wake(). If BQL is enabled netdev_tx_completed_queue() should issue a memory barrier, so we can depend on that separating the stop check from the consumer index update, instead of adding another barrier in netif_txq_maybe_wake(). This matters more than the barriers on the xmit path, because the wake condition is almost always true. So we issue the consumer side barrier often. Wrap netdev_tx_completed_queue() in a local helper to issue the barrier even if BQL is disabled. Keep the same semantics as netdev_tx_completed_queue() (barrier only if bytes != 0) to make it clear that the barrier is conditional. Plus since macro gets pkt/byte counts as arguments now - we can skip waking if there were no packets completed. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Wrap netdev_tx_completed_queue() in a local helper to issue the barrier even if BQL is disabled. Keep the same semantics as netdev_tx_completed_queue() (barrier only if bytes != 0) to make it clear that the barrier is conditional. Plus since macro gets pkt/byte counts as arguments now - we can skip waking if there were no packets completed. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

net: provide macros for commonly copied lockless queue stop/wake code A lot of drivers follow the same scheme to stop / start queues without introducing locks between xmit and NAPI tx completions. I'm guessing they all copy'n'paste each other's code. The original code dates back all the way to e1000 and Linux 2.6.19. Smaller drivers shy away from the scheme and introduce a lock which may cause deadlocks in netpoll. Provide macros which encapsulate the necessary logic. The macros do not prevent false wake ups, the extra barrier required to close that race is not worth it.
