This version of the driver allocates skbuffs -for the Rx ring buffers at open() time and passes the skb->data field to the -Tulip as receive data buffers. When an incoming frame is less than -RX_COPYBREAK bytes long, a fresh skbuff is allocated and the frame is -copied to the new skbuff. When the incoming frame is larger, the skbuff is -passed directly up the protocol stack and replaced by a newly allocated -skbuff. -</para> - -<para> -The RX_COPYBREAK value is chosen to trade-off the memory wasted by -using a full-sized skbuff for small frames vs. the copying costs of larger -frames. For small frames the copying cost is negligible (esp. considering -that we are pre-loading the cache with immediately useful header -information). For large frames the copying cost is non-trivial, and the -larger copy might flush the cache of useful data. A subtle aspect of this -choice is that the Tulip only receives into longword aligned buffers, thus -the IP header at offset 14 isn't longword aligned for further processing. -Copied frames are put into the new skbuff at an offset of "+2", thus copying -has the beneficial effect of aligning the IP header and preloading the -cache. -</para> - -</sect1> - -<sect1><title>Synchronization</title> -<para> -The driver runs as two independent, single-threaded flows of control. One -is the send-packet routine, which enforces single-threaded use by the -dev->tbusy flag.

It sets the tbusy flag whenever it's queuing a Tx packet. If the next -queue slot is empty, it clears the tbusy flag when finished otherwise it sets -the 'tp->tx_full' flag. -</para> - -<para> -The interrupt handler has exclusive control over the Rx ring and records stats -from the Tx ring. (The Tx-done interrupt can't be selectively turned off, so -we can't avoid the interrupt overhead by having the Tx routine reap the Tx -stats.) After reaping the stats, it marks the queue entry as empty by setting -the 'base' to zero.
