2005-09-01[TG3]: Minimize locking in TX path.Michael Chan1-11/+13
This is similar to Eric Dumazet's tx_lock patch for tg3 but takes it one step further to eliminate the tx_lock in the tx_completion path when the tx queue is not stopped. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-01[SUNGEM]: Fix netpoll bug in Sun GEM Ether driverEric Lemoine1-0/+1
From: Eric Lemoine <eric.lemoine@gmail.com> To me the bug is that __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED can be set while __netif_rx_schedule() hasen't be called. Why don't fix it in the simplest way ? See attached patch (absolutely untested). Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-01[SUNGEM]: fix minor bug in sungem.hGeoff Levand1-1/+1
This changes the Sun Gem Ether driver's tx ring buffer length to the proper constant. Currently TX_RING_SIZE and RX_RING_SIZE are equal, so no malfunction occurs. Signed-off-by: Geoff Levand <geoffrey.levand@am.sony.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-09-01[TUNTAP]: Allow setting the linktype of the tap device from userspaceMike Kershaw1-0/+15
Currently tun/tap only supports the EN10MB ARP type. For use with wireless and other networking types it should be possible to set the ARP type via an ioctl. Patch v2: Included check that the tap interface is down before changing the link type out from underneath it Signed-off-by: Mike Kershaw <dragorn@kismetwireless.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[BNX2]: update version and minor fixesMichael Chan1-17/+15
Update version and add 4 minor fixes, the last 2 were suggested by Jeff Garzik: 1. check for a valid ethernet address before setting it 2. zero out bp->regview if init_one encounters an error and unmaps the IO address. This prevents remove_one from unmapping again. 3. use netif_rx_schedule() instead of hand coding the same. 4. use IRQ_HANDLED and IRQ_NONE.

2005-08-29[BNX2]: change irq locks to bh locksMichael Chan1-32/+24
Change all locks from spin_lock_irqsave() to spin_lock_bh(). All places that require spinlocks are in BH context. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[BNX2]: remove atomics in txMichael Chan2-20/+18
Remove atomic operations in the fast tx path. Expensive atomic operations were used to keep track of the number of available tx descriptors. The new code uses the difference between the consumer and producer index to determine the number of free tx descriptors. As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the name of the inline function is changed to all lower case. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[BNX2]: speedup serdes linkupMichael Chan2-13/+45
This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize link disruptions. The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ interval. As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open(). An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for even faster link-up time. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[BNX2]: Fix rtnl deadlock in bnx2_closeMichael Chan2-1/+15
This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close(). The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared. As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1) instead of yield() in the original patch. flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the netdev is freed.

2005-08-29[BNX2]: Possible sparse fixes, take twoPeter Hagervall1-20/+19
This patch contains the following possible cleanups/fixes: - use C99 struct initializers - make a few arrays and structs static - remove a few uses of literal 0 as NULL pointer - use convenience function instead of cast+dereference in bnx2_ioctl() - remove superfluous casts to u8 * in calls to readl/writel Signed-off-by: Peter Hagervall <hager@cs.umu.se> Acked-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-29[TG3]: Fix bug in setting a tg3_flagMichael Chan1-8/+6
Found a bug while reviewing the patches the second time. The TG3_FLAG_TXD_MBOX_HWBUG flag is set after the register access methods have been determined. This patch fixes it by moving it up before the various access methods are assigned. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[TG3]: Eliminate one register write in tg3_restart_ints()Michael Chan1-2/+0
The register write to register 0x68 to restart interrupts is unnecessary as the interrupt wasn't masked in that register by the irq handler. This will save one register write in the fast path. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[TG3]: Add indirect register method for 5703 behind ICHMichael Chan2-28/+163
This patch adds the new workaround for 5703 A1/A2 if it is behind certain ICH bridges. The workaround disables memory and uses config. cycles only to access all registers. The 5702/03 chips can mistakenly decode the special cycles from the ICH chipsets as memory write cycles, causing corruption of register and memory space. Only certain ICH bridges will drive special cycles with non-zero data during the address phase which can fall within the 5703's address range. This is not an ICH bug as the PCI spec allows non-zero address during special cycles. However, only these ICH bridges are known to drive non-zero addresses during special cycles. The indirect_lock is also changed to spin_lock_irqsave from spin_lock_bh because it is used in irq handler when using the indirect method to disable interrupts.

2005-08-29[TG3]: Add various register methodsMichael Chan1-33/+33
This patch adds various dedicated register read/write methods for the existing workarounds, including PCIX target workaround, write with read flush, etc. The chips that require these workarounds will use these dedicated access functions.

2005-08-29[TG3]: Add basic register access function pointersMichael Chan2-11/+31
This patch adds the basic function pointers to do register accesses in the fast path. This was suggested by David Miller. The idea is that various register access methods for different hardware errata can easily be implemented with these function pointers and performance will not be degraded on chips that use normal register access methods. The various register read write macros (e.g. tw32, tr32, tw32_mailbox) are redefined to call the function pointers. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NET]: Remove explicit initializations of skb->input_devDavid S. Miller1-1/+0

2005-08-29[NET]: Kill skb->real_devDavid S. Miller8-18/+16
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NET]: Remove HIPPI private from skbuff.hStephen Hemminger1-1/+2
This removes the private element from skbuff, that is only used by HIPPI. Instead it uses skb->cb[] to hold the additional data that is needed in the output path from hard_header to device driver. PS: The only qdisc that might potentially corrupt this cb[] is if netem was used over HIPPI. I will take care of that by fixing netem to use skb->stamp. I don't expect many users of netem over HIPPI Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-29[NET]: Kill skb->listDavid S. Miller2-63/+9
Remove the "list" member of struct sk_buff, as it is entirely redundant. All SKB list removal callers know which list the SKB is on, so storing this in sk_buff does nothing other than taking up some space. Two tricky bits were SCTP, which I took care of, and two ATM drivers which Francois Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com> fixed up. Signed-off-by: David S.

2005-08-27[PATCH] Fix 6pack setting of MAC addressRalf Baechle1-6/+0
Don't check type of sax25_family; dev_set_mac_address has already done that before and anyway, the type to check against would have been ARPHRD_AX25. We only got away because AF_AX25 and ARPHRD_AX25 both happen to be defined to the same value. Don't check sax25_ndigis either; it's value is insignificant for the purpose of setting the MAC address and the check has shown to break some application software for no good reason.

2005-08-25[TG3]: Fix ethtool loopback test lockupMichael Chan1-4/+2
The tg3_abort_hw() call in tg3_test_loopback() is causing lockups on some devices. tg3_abort_hw() disables the memory arbiter, causing tg3_reset_hw() to hang when it tries to write the pre-reset signature. tg3_abort_hw() should only be called after the pre-reset signature has been written. This is all done in tg3_reset_hw() so the tg3_abort_hw() call is unnecessary and can be removed.
