Shota Suzuki cleans up unnecessary flag setting for 82576 in igb_set_flag_queue_pairs() since the default block already sets IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS to the correct value anyways, so the e1000_82576 code block is not necessary and we can simply fall through. Then fixes an issue where IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS can now be set by using "ethtool -L" option but is never cleared unless the driver is reloaded, so clear the queue pairing if the pairing becomes unnecessary as a result of "ethtool -L". Mitch fixes the igbvf from giving up if it fails to get the hardware mailbox lock. This can happen when the PF-VF communication channel is heavily loaded and causes complete communications failure between the PF and VF drivers, so add a counter and a delay so that the driver will now retry ten times before giving up on getting the mailbox lock. The remaining patches in the series are from Alex Duyck, starting with the cleaning up code that sets the MAC address. Then refactors the VFTA and VLVF configuration, to simplify and update to similar setups in the ixgbe driver. Fixed an issue were VLANs headers size was being added to the value programmed into the RLPML registers, yet these registers already take into account the size of the VLAN headers when determining the maximum packet length, so we can drop the code that adds the size to the RLPML registers. Cleaned up the configuration of the VF port based VLAN configuration. Also fixed the igb driver so that we can fully support SR-IOV or the recently added NTUPLE filtering while allowing support for VLAN promiscuous mode. Also added the ability to use the bridge utility to add a FDB entry for the PF to an igb port. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller --- 31d035a0d323d34acbab1b9cc250b443c5c02297
