* netdev: uniquify the tx_timeout nameArjan van de Ven2008-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | there's several drivers that have use "tx_timeout" for the .. tx timeout function. All fine with that, they're static, however for doing stats on how often which driver hits the timeout it's a tad unfortunate. The patch below gives the ones I found in the kerneloops.org database unique names. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* natsemi: fix MMIO for PPC 44x platformsSergei Shtylyov2008-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The driver stores the PCI resource address into 'unsigned long' variable before calling ioremap() on it. This warrants a kernel oops when the registers are accessed on PPC 44x platforms which (being 32-bit) have PCI memory space mapped beyond 4 GB. The arch/ppc/ kernel has a fixup in ioremap() that creates an illusion of the PCI memory resources are mapped below 4 GB, but arch/powerpc/ code got rid of this trick, having instead CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT enabled.

* natsemi: Update locking documentationMark Brown2008-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The documentation regarding synchronisation at the head of the natsemi driver was badly bitrotted so replace it with a general statement about the techniques used which is less likely to bitrot. Also remove the note saying these chips are uncommon - it makes little difference but they were used in a number of laptops and at least one mass market PCI ethernet card.

* [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger2007-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device.

* Subject: natsemi: Allow users to disable workaround for DspCfg resetMark Brown2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The natsemi driver contains a workaround for broken hardware which can partially reset the chip at unpredictable times, detected by checking for spontaneous changes in the DspCfg register. The effects of the hardware bug appear to be variable and can range from minor problems like small numbers of corrupted packets to major ones such as the chip becoming non-functional. In the case of minor problems the chip reconfiguration required to work around the hardware can cause more problems than the bug itself. Since we have no way of automatically determining how badly the problem manifests on any given system provide an option in sysfs allowing users to disable the workaround at runtime and provides a module option to set the default.

* natsemi: Fix NAPI for interrupt sharingbroonie@sirena.org.uk2007-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled interrupts could be missed. This patch fixes that by ensuring that the interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when interrupts are enabled from the chip. It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and improves the trace for interrupt events.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

* [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template driversJeff Garzik2006-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was maintained in the driver source code. These days, the kernel's changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver changelogs are removed. Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using "foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like "1.17b-LK1.1.9". These drivers are for older hardware, and see few changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something more simple. Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

* [NET]: Add netif_tx_lockHerbert Xu2006-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfixMark Brown2006-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to heavy load). When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup. This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping any currently pending packets.

* [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfixMark Brown2006-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the natsemi driver to use NAPI. It was originally based on one written by Harald Welte, though it has since been modified quite a bit, most extensively in order to remove the ability to disable NAPI since none of the other drivers seem to provide that functionality any more.

* [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.David S. Miller2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily. In these situations, the code roughly looks like: dev = dev_alloc_skb(...); [optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...); ... skb->tail ... But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything other than skb->data in these cases. Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed to do instead. Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups, skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers. Signed-off-by: David S.

This has finally prompted me to do something about it :) Turns out that somebody wasn't following the documentation. We were doing 16-bit writes to 32-bit registers which led to some addresses working and others not so lucky. This patch should fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
