* net: remove skb recyclingEric Dumazet2012-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Over time, skb recycling infrastructure got litle interest and many bugs. Generic rx path skb allocation is now using page fragments for efficient GRO / TCP coalescing, and recyling a tx skb for rx path is not worth the pain. Last identified bug is that fat skbs can be recycled and it can endup using high order pages after few iterations. With help from Maxime Bizon, who pointed out that commit 87151b8689d (net: allow pskb_expand_head() to get maximum tailroom) introduced this regression for recycled skbs. Instead of fixing this bug, lets remove skb recycling. Drivers wanting really hot skbs should use build_skb() anyway, to allocate/populate sk_buff right before netif_receive_skb() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Maxime Bizon <mbizon@freebox.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.

* gianfar: Change default HW Tx queue scheduling modeClaudiu Manoil2012-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is primarily to address transmission timeout occurrences, when multiple H/W Tx queues are being used concurrently. Because in the priority scheduling mode the controller does not service the Tx queues equally (but in ascending index order), Tx timeouts are being triggered rightaway for a basic test with multiple simultaneous connections like: iperf -c <server_ip> -n 100M -P 8 resulting in kernel trace: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1 (fsl-gianfar): transmit queue <X> timed out ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: at net/sched/sch_generic.c:255 ... and controller reset during intense traffic, and possibly further complications. This patch changes the default H/W Tx scheduling setting (TXSCHED) for multi-queue devices, from priority scheduling mode to a weighted round robin mode with equal weights for all H/W Tx queues, and addresses the issue above.

* gianfar: Fix possible overrun and simplify interrupt name field creationJoe Perches2012-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Space allocated for int_name_<foo> is insufficient for maximal device name, expand it. Code to create int_name_<foo> is obscure, simplify it by using sprintf. Found by looking for unnecessary \ line continuations.

* gianfar: delete orphaned version strings and dead macrosPaul Gortmaker2012-03-15
| | | | | | | | There were two version strings, and neither one was being used. Also in the same proximity were some unused #define that were left over from the past. Delete them all. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>
* drivers/net: fix up stale paths from driver reorgPaul Gortmaker2012-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | The reorganization of the driver layout in drivers/net left behind some stale paths in comments and in Kconfig help text. Bring them up to date. No actual change to any code takes place here. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> CC: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* gianfar: Fix invalid TX frames returned on error queue when time stampingManfred Rudigier2012-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When TX time stamping for PTP messages is enabled on a socket, a time stamp is returned on the socket error queue to the user space application after the frame was transmitted. The transmitted frame is also returned on the error queue so that an application knows to which frame the time stamp belongs. In the current implementation the TxFCB is immediately followed by the frame. Since the eTSEC inserts the TX time stamp 8 bytes after the TxFCB, parts of the frame have been overwritten and an invalid frame was returned on the socket error queue. This patch fixes the described problem by adding additional 16 padding bytes between the TxFCB and the frame for all messages sent from a time stamping enabled socket (other sockets are not affected).
