Larry Finger 5398d5901d [PATCH] ieee80211softmac: fix verbosity when debug disabled
SoftMAC contains a number of debug-type messages that continue to print
even when debugging is turned off. This patch substitutes dprintkl for

Larry Finger 7f424ff482 [PATCH] bcm43xx: Remove useless core enable/disable messages
In the softmac version of bcm43xx, the core scan logs whether each core is
enabled or disabled. This information is useless as one of the next steps
is to enable all cores. This patch removes this output from the log.

Larry Finger 08c3103a56 [PATCH] bcm43xx: remove badness variable and related routine
When the periodic work function in bcm43xx was converted for voluntary preemption
to reduce latency, a new function was created to estimate the "badness" of
each step, and this quantity was used to determine if preemption should be
enabled when periodic work was undertaken. This concept was quite useful
while debugging of periodic work was in progress. Now that this routine
seems to be working correctly, it is time to simplify the code. This
patch keeps the functionality intact, but simplifies the code.

Andy Fleming 6b655529c3 [PATCH] Fixed a number of bugs in the PHY Layer
* genphy_update_link is now exported
* Added a fix from ncase@xes-inc.com which changes forcing so it
  only updates the link.  Otherwise, it never tries the lower
  values, since it is always overwriting the speed/duplex values
  with the current ones, rather than the intended ones.
* Fixed a bug where bringing up a PHY with no link caused it to
  timeout, and enter forcing mode.  Once in forcing mode,
  plugging in the link didn't autonegotiate.  Now the AN state
  detects the lack of link, and enters the NO_LINK state.  AN
  only times out if the link is up and AN fails
* Cleaned up the PHY_AN case, reducing one level of indentation
  for the timeout code.

Fix TX Pause bug (reset_tx, intr_handler).  When MaxCollisions occurred, need
to re-enable Tx.  But just after re-enable, MaxCollisions maybe occurred again
and with TxStatusOverflow.  This will cause driver can't check new
MaxCollisions to re-enable Tx again, because TxStatusOverflow.  For this
reason, after re-enable Tx, we need to make sure Tx was actually enabled.

Jesse Brandeburg 835bb12983 e1000: add dynamic itr modes
Add a new dynamic itr algorithm, with 2 modes, and make it the default
operation mode. This greatly reduces latency and increases small packet
performance, at the "cost" of some CPU utilization. Bulk traffic
throughput is unaffected.

The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the
adapter will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a
value to the adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts
that the adapter will generate per second.

Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 will
program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts per
second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt
load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load,
but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly.

The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static
InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value
for all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and
latency. The hardware can handle many more small packets per second
however, and for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm
was implemented.

Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in
which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on
the traffic that it receives. After determining the type of incoming
traffic in the last timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate
to an appropriate value for that traffic.

The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into
classes.  Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate
value is adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are
three classes defined: "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets
of normal size; "Low latency", for small amounts of traffic and/or
a significant percentage of small packets; and "Lowest latency",
for almost completely small packets or minimal traffic.

In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is
set to 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If
traffic falls in the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the
InterruptThrottleRate is increased stepwise to 20000. This default
mode is suitable for most applications.

For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or
grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when
InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates
the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased
stepwise to 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency".

Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation
and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable
for bulk throughput traffic.
