be2net: fix cmd-rx-filter not notifying MCC

2011-08-03T12:19:27+00:00

Dave, I missed out on this line while composing the 4/6 patch from my
yesterday's patchset ("[PATCH net-next 4/6] be2net: use RX_FILTER cmd
to program multicast addresses"). As you've already queued up the
patchset for net-next, I'm sending the fix in a separate patch. Pls
apply.

be2net: drop pkts that do not belong to the port

2011-08-03T10:23:30+00:00

On some BE skews, while in promiscuous mode, pkts that do not belong to a
port can arrive on that port. Drop such pkts.

be2net: use RX_FILTER cmd to program multicast addresses

2011-08-03T10:23:30+00:00

Use this cmd for both promiscous and multicast address programming. Get rid
of the old MULTICAST_SET cmd.

be2net: non-member vlan pkts not received in promiscous mode

2011-08-03T10:23:29+00:00

While configuring promiscous mode, explicitly set the
VLAN_PROMISCOUS bit to make this happen. When switching off
promiscous mode, re-program the vids.

be2net: no need to query link status

2011-08-03T10:23:29+00:00

Change in the link status generates an MCC event. This is processed and
netif_carrier_on/off is called accordingly. Don't need to query/store the
link_status state.

be2net: remove wrong and unnecessary calls to netif_carrier_off()

2011-08-03T10:23:29+00:00

1) In be_probe(), as soon as the MCC Q is created a gratuitous link status
event is received and processed. Accordingly netif_carrier_off/on() is called.
The extra netif_carrier_off() call in probe can race with this and cause wrong
state.

2) be_close() need not call netif_carrier_off(). It is OK to show the actual
link state even when the device is administratively down.

be2net: use stats-sync to read/write 64-bit stats

2011-08-01T07:12:00+00:00

64-bit stats in be2net are written/read as follows using the stats-sync
interface for safe access in 32-bit archs:

64-bit 		sync			writer			reader
stats
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tx_stats	tx_stats->sync		be_xmit			be_get_stats64,
								ethtool
tx-compl	tx_stats->sync_compl	tx-compl-processing	ethtool
rx-stats	rx_stats->sync		rx-compl-processing	be_get_stats64,
								ethtool,
								eqd-update

This patch is based on Stephen Hemminger's earlier patch on the same issue...

be2net: cleanup and refactor stats code

2011-08-01T07:11:59+00:00

In preparation for 64-bit stats interface, the following cleanups help
streamline the code:
1) made some more rx/tx stats stored by driver 64 bit
2) made some HW stas (err/drop counters) stored in be_drv_stats 32 bit to
   keep the code simple as BE provides 32-bit counters only.
3) removed duplication of netdev stats in ethtool
4) removed some un-necessary stats and fixed some names
