* e1000: 3 new driver stats for managability testingJeff Garzik2006-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | Add 3 extra packet redirect counters for tracking purposes to make sure we can test that all packets arrive properly. Originally from Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>, rewritten to use feature flags by me. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
* [PATCH] e1000: Make the copybreak value a module parameterJesse Brandeburg2006-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the user to vary the size that copybreak works. Currently cb is enabled for packets < 256 bytes, but various tests indicate that this should be configurable for specific use cases. In addition, this parameter allows us to force never/always during testing to get full and predictable coverage of both code paths.

* [PATCH] e1000: Fix PBA allocation calculationsBruce Allan2006-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | Assign the PBA to be large enough to contain at least 2 jumbo frames on all adapters. This dramatically increases performance on several adapters and fixes TX performance degradation issues where the PBA was misallocated in the old algorithm.

* [PATCH] e1000: narrow down the scope of the tipg timer tweakJesse Brandeburg2006-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | the driver has (ancient) code for messing with TIPG from the 82542 days. Unfortunately this code was running on our current adapters and setting TIPG for fiber to be +1 over the copper value. This caused 1.45Mpps to be sent instead of 1.487Mpps.

* [PATCH] e1000: disable TSO on the 82544 with slab debuggingJesse Brandeburg2006-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB changes alignments of the data structures the slab allocators return. These break certain workarounds for TSO on the 82544. Since DEBUG_SLAB is relatively rare and not used for performance sensitive cases, the simplest fix is to disable TSO in this special situation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | If the user has forced gigabit speed, phy power management must be disabled; otherwise the NIC would try to negotiate to a linkspeed of 10/100 mbit on shutdown, which would lead to a total loss of link.

Also add a new routine used to unload an ACPI table of a given type and "id" - acpi_unload_table_id(). The implementation of this new routine was almost a direct copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference being that it only removes a specific table id instead of ALL tables of a given type. The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these interfaces to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables. Also, a few other ACPI routines now used by the SN hotplug driver are exported (since the driver can be a loadable module): acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle acpi_ns_get_next_node Signed-off-by: Aaron Young <ayoung@sgi.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

When the watchdog timer expires, the equivalent action of a "fan enable" command is executed. The watchdog timer is reset at every reception of a fan control command that could change the state of the fan itself. This command is meant to be used by userspace fan control daemons, to make sure the fan is never left set to an unsafe level because of userspace problems. Users of the X31/X40/X41 "speed" command are on their own, the current implementation of "speed" is just too incomplete to be used safely, anyway. Better to never use it, and just use the "level" command instead. The watchdog is programmed using echo "watchdog <number>" > fan, where number is the number of seconds to wait before doing an "enable", and zero disables the watchdog.

If the BIOS and the ACPI DSDT also do not initialize it, then the initial status of that register does not correspond to reality. On all reported buggy machines, EC 0x2f will read 0x07 (fan level 7) upon cold boot, when the EC is actually in mode 0x80 (auto mode). Since returning a text string ("unknown") would break a number of userspace programs, instead we correct the reading for the most probably correct answer, and return it is in auto mode. The workaround flags the status and level as unknown on module load/kernel boot, until we are certain at least one fan control command was issued, either by us, or by something else. We don't work around the bug by doing a "fan enable" at module load/startup (which would initialize the EC register) because it is not known if these ThinkPad ACPI DSDT might have set the fan to level 7 instead of "auto" (we don't know if they can do this or not) due to a thermal condition, and we don't want to override that, should they be capable of it. We should be setting the workaround flag to "status known" upon resume, as both reports and a exaustive search on the DSDT tables at acpi.sf.net show that the DSDTs always enable the fan on resume, thus working around the bug. But since we don't have suspend/resume handlers in ibm-acpi yet and the "EC register 0x2f was modified" logic is likely to catch the change anyway, we don't.
