      e1000e: Add interrupt moderation run-time ethtool interface · de5b3077
      Auke Kok authored
      
      The ethtool -c / -C interface can now be used to modify the
      irq moderation algorithm. This change does not require an
      adapter reset and can thus be used at all times. The adapter
      only supports changing/reading rx-usecs which has special
      values for 0, 1 and 3:
      
      0 - no irq moderation whatsoever
      1 - normal moderation favoring regular mixed traffic (default)
      3 - best attempt at low latency possible at cost of CPU
      
      For values between 10 and 10000 the rx-usecs defines "the minimum
      time between successive irqs" in usec, unlike the module parameter.

      e1000e: cleanup several stats issues · 7c25769f
      Bruce Allan authored
      
      Several stats registers are completely unused and we just waste pci
      bus time reading them. We also omit using the high 32 bits of the GORC/
      GOTC counters. We can just read clear them and only read the low registers.
      
      Mii-tool can also break es2lan if it executes a MII PHY register
      ioctl while the device is in autonegotiation. Unfortunately it seems
      that several applications and installations still perform this ioctl
      call periodically and especially in this crucial startup time. We
      can fool the ioctl by providing fail safe information that mimics
      the "down" link state and only perform the dangerous PHY reads once
      after link comes up to fill in the real values. As long as link
      stays up the information will not change.
