* pcnet32: Fix PCnet32 performance bug on non-coherent architecutresDon Fry2007-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | The PCnet32 driver always passed the the size of the largest possible packet to the pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device. This results in a fairly large "colateral damage" in the caches and makes the flush operation itself much slower. On a system with a 40MHz CPU this patch increases network bandwidth by about 12%.

* 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.

* [PATCH] pcnet32: NAPI implementationDon Fry2006-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement NAPI changes to pcnet32 driver. Compile default is off. Listed as experimental. Len and Don both worked on a NAPI implementation and have both tested these changes. An e1000 blasting short packets to the pcnet32 will lockup Don's system until the receive storm stops. Without NAPI Len's system watchdog would expire causing the system to reboot. With NAPI the system will stay operational. Tested ia32 and ppc64. Tested '970A, '971, '972, '973, '975, '976, and '978. The Kconfig changes came from Len. Don is to blame for all the others.

* [netdrvr] Remove long-unused bits from Becker template driversJeff Garzik2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Symbols such as PCI_USES_IO, PCI_ADDR0, etc. originated from Donald Becker's net driver template, but have been long unused. Remove. In a few drivers, this allows the further eliminate of the pci_flags (or just plain flags) member in the template driver probe structure. Most of this logic is simply open-coded in most drivers, since it never changes. Made a few other cleanups while I was in there, too: * constify, __devinitdata several PCI ID tables * replace table terminating entries such as "{0,}," and "{NULL}," with a more-clean "{ }".

* [PATCH] pcnet32: remove incorrect pcnet32_free_ringDon Fry2006-05-26

If the open fails due to a lack of memory all the ring structures are removed via the call to free_ring and a subsequent call to open will dereference a null pointer in pcnet32_init_ring.

* [PATCH] pcnet32: use MAC address from prom also on powerpcOlaf Hering2005-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000. One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF, on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b. It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked only on the 270. Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable. I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.

* [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.

We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
