rds: Fix RDMA message reference counting
The RDS send_xmit code was trying to get fancy with message

The fix here is to always add a ref as the parts of the message passes
through rds_send_xmit, and always drop a ref as the parts of the message

RDS: Use a generation counter to avoid rds_send_xmit loop
rds_send_xmit is required to loop around after it releases the lock
because someone else could done a trylock, found someone working on the

But, once we drop our lock, it is possible that someone else does come
in and make progress on the list. We should detect this and not loop
around if another process is actually working on the list.

RDS: Remove send_quota from send_xmit()
The purpose of the send quota was really to give fairness
when different connections were all using the same
workq thread to send backlogged msgs -- they could only send
so many before another connection could make progress.
Now that each connection is pushing the backlog from its
completion handler, they are all guaranteed to make progress
and the quota isn't needed any longer.
A thread *will* have to send all previously queued data, as well
as any further msgs placed on the queue while while c_send_lock
was held. In a pathological case a single process can get

get off free. But, since it can only do this until the transport

the op struct, instead of the overall rm struct.

RDS: Fix corrupted rds_mrs
On second look at this bug (OFED #2002), it seems that the
collision is not with the retransmission queue (packet acked
by the peer), but with the local send completion. A theoretical
sequence of events (from time t0 to t3) is thought to be as
follows,
The problem with the rds_rdma_drop_keys() is it could
remove a mr's refcount more than its due (i.e. repeatedly
as long as it still remains in the tree (mr->r_refcount > 0)).
Theoretically it should remove only one reference - reference
by the tree.
/* Release any MRs associated with this socket */
while ((node = rb_first(&rs->rs_rdma_keys))) {
mr = container_of(node, struct rds_mr, r_rb_node);
if (mr->r_trans == rs->rs_transport)
mr->r_invalidate = 0;
rds_mr_put(mr);
}
I think the correct way of doing it is to remove the mr from
the tree and rds_destroy_mr it first, then a rds_mr_put()
to decrement its reference count by one. Whichever thread
holds the last reference will free the mr via rds_mr_put().

ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload
This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network. A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.
This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload. When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available. As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.
Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.

Remove code in the device probe function where we set up the checksum
offload feature and replace it with a call to an existing function that
is doing the same. This is done to clean up the driver in preparation
of adding IPv6 checksum offload support.

ibmveth: Add optional flush of rx buffer
On some machines we can improve the bandwidth by ensuring rx buffers are
not in the cache. Add a module option that is disabled by default that flushes
rx buffers on insertion.

ibmveth: Add scatter-gather support
ibmveth can scatter gather up to 6 segments. If we go over this then
we have no option but to call skb_linearize, like other drivers with
similar limitations do.

ibmveth: Use lighter weight read memory barrier in ibmveth_poll
We want to order the read in ibmveth_rxq_pending_buffer and the read of
ibmveth_rxq_buffer_valid which are both cacheable memory. smp_rmb() is good
enough for this.

ibmveth: Add rx_copybreak
For small packets, create a new skb and copy the packet into it so we
avoid tearing down and creating a TCE entry.

ibmveth: Add tx_copybreak
Use the existing bounce buffer if we send a buffer under a certain size.
This saves the overhead of a TCE map/unmap.
I can't see any reason for the wmb() in the bounce buffer case, if we need
a barrier it will be before we call h_send_logical_lan but we have
nothing in the common case. Remove it.

ibmveth: Remove LLTX
The ibmveth adapter needs locking in the transmit routine to protect
the bounce_buffer but it sets LLTX and forgets to add any of its own
locking.
Just remove the deprecated LLTX option. Remove the stats lock in the process.

ibmveth: batch rx buffer replacement
At the moment we try and replenish the receive ring on every rx interrupt.
We even have a pool->threshold but aren't using it.
To limit the maximum latency incurred when refilling, change the threshold
from 1/2 to 7/8 and reduce the largest rx pool from 768 buffers to 512 which
should be more than enough.
