[PATCH v3 net-next 0/9] API set for HW Buffer management

[Gregory CLEMENT <gregory.clement@free-electrons.com>]

This is a third version of an API set for HW Buffer management that I
initially submit here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2125152

Since the last version I took into account David's remarks:

- I made a HWBM and a SWBM version of the mvneta_rx() function in
  order to reduce the the conditional code. I kept a condition inside
  the mvneta_poll because specializing this function would have means
  duplicating 95% of the code.
- I put back the register_netdev() call at the end of the
  mvneta_probe() function. In order to have a uniq ID for each port I
  just used a global variable in the driver.

I also added a fix from Marcin in the "net: mvneta: bm: add support
for hardware buffer management" patch:
- "when dropping packets, only buffer pointers passed from BM to
  descriptors have to be returned to the pool. In submitted version
  after closing the port and mvneta_rxq_deinit(), it was very likely
  that a lot of fake buffers are added to the pool, because all
  descriptors took part in iteration."

Finally, I also removed the select MVNETA_BM from the Kconfig, it will
let the user the choice to use not use it if they want.

For the record in the previous version I made the following changes:
v1 -> v2

- The hardware buffer management helpers are no more built by default
  and now depend on a hidden config symbol which has to be selected
  by the driver if needed
- The hwbm_pool_refill() and hwbm_pool_add() now receive a gfp_t as
  argument allowing the caller to specify the flag it needs.
- buf_num is now tested to ensure there is no wrapping
- A spinlock has been added to protect the hwbm_pool_add() function in
  SMP or irq context.
- used pr_warn instead of pr_debug in case of errors.
- fixed the mvneta implementation by returning the buffer to the pool
  at various place instead of ignoring it.
- Squashed "bus: mvenus-mbus: Fix size test for
   mvebu_mbus_get_dram_win_info" into bus: mvebu-mbus: provide api for
   obtaining IO and DRAM window information.
- Added my signed-otf-by on all the patches as submitter of the series.
- Renamed the dts patches with the pattern "ARM: dts: platform:"
- Removed the patch "ARM: mvebu: enable SRAM support in
  mvebu_v7_defconfig" of this series and already applied it
- Modified the order of the patches.

In order to ease the test the branch mvneta-BM-framework-v3 is
available at git@github.com:MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public.git.

Thanks,

Gregory
