[ Upstream commit 0e03fd3e335d272bee88fe733d5fd13f5c5b7140 ]

Commit 43d3ddf87a57 ("net: pxa168_eth: add device tree support") starts
to use managed resources by adding devm_clk_get() and
devm_ioremap_resource(), but it leaves explicit iounmap() and clock_put()
in pxa168_eth_remove() and in failure handling code of pxa168_eth_probe().
As a result double free can happen.

The patch removes explicit resource deallocation. Also it converts
clk_disable() to clk_disable_unprepare() to make it symmetrical with
clk_prepare_enable().

    net: mv643xx_eth: Use dma_map_single() to map the skb fragments

caused a nasty regression by removing the support for highmem skb
fragments. By using page_address() to get the address of a fragment's
page, we are assuming a lowmem page. However, such assumption is incorrect,
as fragments can be in highmem pages, resulting in very nasty issues.

This commit fixes this by using the skb_frag_dma_map() helper,
which takes care of mapping the skb fragment properly. Additionally,
the type of mapping is now tracked, so it can be unmapped using
dma_unmap_page or dma_unmap_single when appropriate.

This commit also fixes the error path in txq_init() to release the
resources properly.

<title>net: mvneta: fix Tx interrupt delay</title>

<id>aebea2ba0f7495e1a1c9ea5e753d146cb2f6b845</id>
<content type='text'>
The mvneta driver sets the amount of Tx coalesce packets to 16 by
default. Normally that does not cause any trouble since the driver
uses a much larger Tx ring size (532 packets). But some sockets
might run with very small buffers, much smaller than the equivalent
of 16 packets. This is what ping is doing for example, by setting
SNDBUF to 324 bytes rounded up to 2kB by the kernel.

The problem is that there is no documented method to force a specific
packet to emit an interrupt (eg: the last of the ring) nor is it
possible to make the NIC emit an interrupt after a given delay.

In this case, it causes trouble, because when ping sends packets over
its raw socket, the few first packets leave the system, and the first
15 packets will be emitted without an IRQ being generated, so without
the skbs being freed. And since the socket's buffer is small, there's
no way to reach that amount of packets, and the ping ends up with
"send: no buffer available" after sending 6 packets. Running with 3
instances of ping in parallel is enough to hide the problem, because
with 6 packets per instance, that's 18 packets total, which is enough
to grant a Tx interrupt before all are sent.

The original driver in the LSP kernel worked around this design flaw
by using a software timer to clean up the Tx descriptors. This timer
was slow and caused terrible network performance on some Tx-bound
workloads (such as routing) but was enough to make tools like ping
work correctly.

Instead here, we simply set the packet counts before interrupt to 1.
This ensures that each packet sent will produce an interrupt. NAPI
takes care of coalescing interrupts since the interrupt is disabled
once generated.

No measurable performance impact nor CPU usage were observed on small
nor large packets, including when saturating the link on Tx, and this
fixes tools like ping which rely on too small a send buffer. If one
wants to increase this value for certain workloads where it is safe
to do so, "ethtool -C $dev tx-frames" will override this default
setting.

This fix needs to be applied to stable kernels starting with 3.10.

<content type='text'>
In sky2_change_mtu setting B0_IMSK to 0 may be delayed due to PCI write posting
which could result in irqs being still active when synchronize_irq is called.
Since we are not prepared to handle any further irqs after synchronize_irq
(our resources are freed after that) force the write by a consecutive read from
the same register.
Similar situation in sky2_all_down: Here we disabled irqs by a write to B0_IMSK
but did not ensure that this write took place before synchronize_irq. Fix that
too.
