* [PATCH] pcnet_cs.c: IRQ handler optimizationAndreas Mohr2005-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During some performance diagnostics I stumbled on this slightly wasteful code in pcnet_cs.c which I made the patch included at the bottom for (two minor comment fixes included). Improvement: instead of *always* calculating lea 0x2c0(%edx),%ebx and then additionally doing the mov %edx,0xc0(%ebx) addition *if we need it*, we now do the *whole* calculation of mov %edx,0x380(%ebx) *only* if we need it. This even manages to save us a whole 16-byte alignment buffer loss in this compilation case. Result: slightly improves IRQ handler performance in both shared and non-shared IRQ case, which should make my rusty P3/700 a slight bit happier. Thank you for your support, Andreas Mohr old asm result (using gcc 3.3.5): 000015a0 <ei_irq_wrapper>: 15a0: 55 push %ebp 15a1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 15a3: 53 push %ebx 15a4: 8d 9a c0 02 00 00 lea 0x2c0(%edx),%ebx 15aa: e8 fc ff ff ff call 15ab <ei_irq_wrapper+0xb> 15af: 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%eax 15b2: 74 03 je 15b7 <ei_irq_wrapper+0x17> 15b4: 5b pop %ebx 15b5: 5d pop %ebp 15b6: c3 ret 15b7: 31 d2 xor %edx,%edx 15b9: 89 93 c0 00 00 00 mov %edx,0xc0(%ebx) 15bf: eb f3 jmp 15b4 <ei_irq_wrapper+0x14> 15c1: eb 0d jmp 15d0 <ei_watchdog> 15c3: 90 nop 15c4: 90 nop 15c5: 90 nop 15c6: 90 nop 15c7: 90 nop 15c8: 90 nop 15c9: 90 nop 15ca: 90 nop 15cb: 90 nop 15cc: 90 nop 15cd: 90 nop 15ce: 90 nop 15cf: 90 nop 000015d0 <ei_watchdog>: new asm result: 000015a0 <ei_irq_wrapper>: 15a0: 55 push %ebp 15a1: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 15a3: 53 push %ebx 15a4: 89 d3 mov %edx,%ebx 15a6: e8 fc ff ff ff call 15a7 <ei_irq_wrapper+0x7> 15ab: 83 f8 01 cmp $0x1,%eax 15ae: 74 03 je 15b3 <ei_irq_wrapper+0x13> 15b0: 5b pop %ebx 15b1: 5d pop %ebp 15b2: c3 ret 15b3: 31 d2 xor %edx,%edx 15b5: 89 93 80 03 00 00 mov %edx,0x380(%ebx) 15bb: eb f3 jmp 15b0 <ei_irq_wrapper+0x10> 15bd: 8d 76 00 lea 0x0(%esi),%esi 000015c0 <ei_watchdog>: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The spin loop in 8139cp is limited to 100 iterations when pulling hardware stats. There is no allowance for processor speed so on a fast machine, the stats may not be available that fast. Also, if the board doesn't return soon enough make sure turn the address back off to prevent later updates when memory has gone away.

* | | bonding: xor/802.3ad improved slave hashJay Vosburgh2005-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for alternate slave selection algorithms to bonding balance-xor and 802.3ad modes. Default mode (what we have now: xor of MAC addresses) is "layer2", new choice is "layer3+4", using IP and port information for hashing to select peer. Originally submitted by Jason Gabler for balance-xor mode; modified by Jay Vosburgh to additionally support 802.3ad mode. Jason's original comment is as follows: The attached patch to the Linux Etherchannel Bonding driver modifies the driver's "balance-xor" mode as follows: - alternate hashing policy support for mode 2 * Added kernel parameter "xmit_policy" to allow the specification of different hashing policies for mode 2. The original mode 2 policy is the default, now found in xmit_hash_policy_layer2(). * Added xmit_hash_policy_layer34() This patch was inspired by hashing policies implemented by Cisco, Foundry and IBM, which are explained in Foundry documentation found at: http://www.foundrynet.com/services/documentation/sribcg/Trunking.html#112750 Signed-off-by: Jason Gabler <jygabler@lbl.gov> Signed-off-by: Jay Vosburgh <fubar@us.ibm.com>

Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h: frozen(process) Check for frozen process freezing(process) Check if a process is being frozen freeze(process) Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator) thaw_process(process) Restart process frozen_process(process) Process is frozen now 2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all kernel sources except sched.h 3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver 4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls. 5. Some whitespace cleanup 6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check PF_FROZEN). This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe! Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Move tp->irq_sync = 0 to before the interrupt mailbox IO in tg3_enable_ints() so that the interrupt handler will always see irq_sync == 0 when interrupts are enabled. 2. Remove the tg3_enable_ints() call in tg3_reset_hw(). Interrupts are always enabled explicitly or through tg3_netif_start(). This is to prevent interrupts being enabled while poll is disabled. 3. Update trans_start with jiffies in tg3_netif_stop() to prevent false NETDEV WATCHDOG. 4. Pass in the proper irq_sync parameter to tg3_full_lock() depending on netif_running() in some of the ethtool set calls. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

| * | | [TG3]: Eliminate all hw IRQ handler spinlocks.David S. Miller2005-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move all driver spinlocks to be taken at sw IRQ context only. This fixes the skb_copy() we were doing with hw IRQs disabled (which is illegal and triggers a BUG() with HIGHMEM enabled). It also simplifies the locking all over the driver tremendously. We accomplish this feat by creating a special sequence to synchronize with the hw IRQ handler using a binary state and synchronize_irq(). This idea is from Herbert Xu. Thanks to Michael Chan for helping to track down all of the race conditions in initial versions of this code. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * | | [TG3]: Fix missing memory barriers and SD_STATUS_UPDATED bit clearing.David S. Miller2005-06-24
| |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There must be a rmb() between reading the status block tag and calling tg3_has_work(). This was missing in tg3_mis() and tg3_interrupt_tagged(). tg3_poll() got it right. Also, SD_STATUS_UPDATED must be cleared in the status block right before we call tg3_has_work(). Only tg3_poll() got this wrong. Based upon patches and commentary from Grant Grundler and Michael Chan. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
