* | drivers: net: Remove casts to same typeJoe Perches2012-06-06
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary and confusing for a human reader. For example, this cast: int y; int *p = (int *)&y; I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these unnecessary casts. I manually removed the conversions this script produces of casts with __force, __iomem and __user. @@ type T; T *p; @@ - (T *)p + p Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net/hyperv: Add flow control based on hi/low watermarkHaiyang Zhang2012-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the existing code, we only stop queue when the ringbuffer is full, so the current packet has to be dropped or retried from upper layer. This patch stops the tx queue when available ringbuffer is below the low watermark. So the ringbuffer still has small amount of space available for the current packet. This will reduce the overhead of retries on sending. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Reviewed-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net/hyperv: Remove unnecessary kmap_atomic in netvsc driverHaiyang Zhang2012-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | __get_free_pages() doesn't return HI memory, so the memory is always mapped. kmap_atomic() is not necessary here. This patch removes the kmap_atomic() calls and related code for locking and page manipulation. Signed-off-by: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: K. Y.

* net/hyperv: Fix the stop/wake queue mechanismHaiyang Zhang2011-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ring buffer is only used to pass meta data for outbound packets. The actual payload is accessed by DMA from the host. So the stop/wake queue mechanism based on counting and comparing number of pages sent v.s. number of pages in the ring buffer is wrong. Also, there is a race condition in the stop/wake queue calls, which can stop xmit queue forever. The new stop/wake queue mechanism is based on the actual bytes used by outbound packets in the ring buffer. The check for number of outstanding sends after stop queue prevents the race condition that can cause wake queue happening earlier than stop queue.
