Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

pci_enable_msi failure is a normal event so we should not print any error.
Going over the code I spotted a missing pci_disable_msi() leak when irq
allocation fails. The whole code also needed a cleanup, so I combined the
two different calls to pci_request_irq into a single call making this
look a lot better. All #ifdef CONFIG_PCI_MSI's have been removed.
Compile tested with both CONFIG_PCI_MSI enabled and disabled.

Unfortunately the read-free MSI interrupt handler needs to flush write
the icr register and thus we can't be read-free. Our MSI irq routine
thus becomes a lot more simpler since we don't need to track link state
anymore.

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.

We were plagued by our interrupt handler posting a watchdog event which
could occur when our adapter was going down in case a late packet arrived
just before e1000_down() finished. This caused the watchdog timer to start
after the NIC was down and keep rescheduling it every N seconds. Once
the driver unloaded it would panic.

After studying the driver mac reset code it was found that there
were multiple race conditions possible to reset the unit twice or
bring it e1000_up() double. This fixes all occurences where the
driver needs to reset the mac.
We also remove irq requesting/releasing into _open and _close so
that while the device is _up we will never touch the irq's. This fixes
the double free irq bug that people saw.
To make sure that the watchdog task doesn't cause another race we let
it run as a non-scheduled task.

Remove multi-descriptor support from legacy recieve path
Add memory usage efficiency by using more correct size descriptors for
small MTU sizes and optimize using LPE for <= 1522 byte frame sizes
An extra performance fix that effected our TCP window size growth
as a receiver. Set our initial buffer to be 128 bytes instead of 256
to prevent over-socket charge when truesize is computed in the stack.
old way: truesize = 256 + l1 = 256 + 1460 = 1716
new way: truesize = 128 + l1 = 128 + 1460 = 1588
The magic value that we can't cross is 1648.

A recent patch attempted to enable more efficient memory usage by using
only 2kB descriptors for jumbo frames. The method used to implement this
has since been commented upon as "illegal" and in recent kernels even
causes a BUG when receiving ip fragments while using jumbo frames.
This patch simply goes back to the way things were. We expect some
complaints due to order 3 allocations failing to come back due to this
change.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
