It has been observed that tx queue stalls while downloading
from certain web sites (example www.speedtest.net)

The cause has been tracked down to a corner case where
dma descriptors where not setup properly. And there for a tx
completion interrupt was not signaled.

This fix corrects the problem by properly marking the end of
a multi descriptor transmission.

<title>net: aquantia: regression on cpus with high cores: set mode with 8 queues</title>

Recently the maximum number of queues was increased up to 8, but
NIC was not fully configured for 8 queues. In setups with more than 4 CPU
cores parts of TX traffic gets lost if the kernel routes it to queues 4th-8th.

This patch sets a tx hw traffic mode with 8 queues.

The netif_msg_init() API takes on input the amount of bits to be set. The
description of debug parameter in the enc28j60 module is misleading in this
sense and passing 0xffff does not give an expected behaviour.

Fix the description of debug module parameter to show what exactly is expected.

<title>bnxt_en: Drop oversize TX packets to prevent errors.</title>

<id>2b3c6885386020b1b9d92d45e8349637e27d1f66</id>
<content type='text'>
There have been reports of oversize UDP packets being sent to the
driver to be transmitted, causing error conditions.  The issue is
likely caused by the dst of the SKB switching between 'lo' with
64K MTU and the hardware device with a smaller MTU.  Patches are
being proposed by Mahesh Bandewar &lt;maheshb@google.com&gt; to fix the
issue.

In the meantime, add a quick length check in the driver to prevent
the error.  The driver uses the TX packet size as index to look up an
array to setup the TX BD.  The array is large enough to support all MTU
sizes supported by the driver.  The oversize TX packet causes the
driver to index beyond the array and put garbage values into the
TX BD.  Add a simple check to prevent this.

====================
pull-request: bpf 2019-02-23

The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net* tree.

The main changes are:

1) Fix a bug in BPF's LPM deletion logic to match correct prefix
   length, from Alban.

2) Fix AF_XDP teardown by not destroying umem prematurely as it
   is still needed till all outstanding skbs are freed, from Björn.

3) Fix unkillable BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN under preempt kernel by checking
   signal_pending() outside need_resched() condition which is never
   triggered there, from Stanislav.

4) Fix two nfp JIT bugs, one in code emission for K-based xor, and
   another one to explicitly clear upper bits in alu32, from Jiong.

5) Add bpf list address to maintainers file, from Daniel.

The code waits up to 20 usec for the firmware response to complete
once we've seen the valid response header in the buffer.  It turns
out that in some scenarios, this wait time is not long enough.
Extend it to 150 usec and use usleep_range() instead of udelay().

The logic that polls for the firmware message response uses a shorter
sleep interval for the first few passes.  But there was a typo so it
was using the wrong counter (larger counter) for these short sleep
passes.  The result is a slightly shorter timeout period for these
firmware messages than intended.  Fix it by using the proper counter.

NFP BPF JIT compiler is doing a couple of small optimizations when jitting
ALU imm instructions, some of these optimizations could save code-gen, for
example:

  A &amp; -1 =  A
  A |  0 =  A
  A ^  0 =  A

However, for ALU32, high 32-bit of the 64-bit register should still be
cleared according to ISA semantics.
