2008-12-16phylib: Remove unnecessary "reset" fixups in genphy_setup_forcedAndy Fleming
genphy_setup_forced hasn't actually reset the PHY for a long time, but a comment to that effect remained in the code, so code continued to act as if it *had* reset the PHY, and called the necessary fixup functions to respond to a PHY reset. With no reset, those functions are no longer needed, so we remove them. Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-16gianfar: Make all BD status writes 32-bitDai Haruki
Whenever we want to update the status field in a BD, we usually want to update the length field, too. By combining them into one 32-bit field, we reduce the number of stores to memory shared with the controller, and we eliminate the need for order-enforcement, as the length and "READY" bit are now updated atomically at the same time.

2008-12-16gianfar: Add macros for stepping through BDsAndy Fleming
This code is based strongly on code from Dai Haruki <Dai.Haruki@freescale.com>. The gianfar Buffer Descriptors are arranged in a circular array, the end of which is denoted by setting the "WRAP" bit in the descriptor. However, the software knows the end of the ring because it knows how many descriptors are there. Rather than check each descriptor for whether the WRAP bit is set, use pointer math to determine where the next BD is. This is also useful for when we want to look at BDs other than the very next one (for Scatter-Gather). Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-12-16gianfar: Enable padding and Optimize the frame prepended bytes handlingDai Haruki
The eTSEC can prepend up to 32 bytes to a received frame, usually for the purpose of aligning the IP address to a word boundary, so this turns it on.

2008-12-16net: Refactor full duplex flow control resolutionSteve Glendinning
These 4 drivers have identical full duplex flow control resolution functions. This patch changes them all to use one common function. The function in question decides whether a device should enable TX and RX flow control in a standard way (IEEE 802.3-2005 table 28B-3), so this should also be useful for other drivers.

2008-12-16enc28j60: use netif_rx_ni() to deliver RX packetsBaruch Siach
The enc28j60 driver reads incoming packets in the process (workqueue) context, not in a tasklet or the interrupt context. Thus, we should use netif_rx_ni() to deliver those packets to the networking layer, instead of netif_rx(). This way incoming packets don't wait in the incoming queue for the next IRQ to be serviced.

2008-12-16netfilter: ctnetlink: fix missing CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPECPablo Neira Ayuso
This patch fixes an inconsistency in nfnetlink_conntrack.h that I introduced myself. The problem is that CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC is missing from enum ctattr_natseq. This inconsistency may lead to problems in the message parsing in userspace (if the message contains the CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes, of course). This patch breaks backward compatibility, however, the only known client of this code is libnetfilter_conntrack which indeed crashes because it assumes the existence of CTA_NAT_SEQ_UNSPEC to do the parsing. The CTA_NAT_SEQ_* attributes were introduced in 2.6.25. Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

2008-12-15tcp: Add GRO supportHerbert Xu
This patch adds the TCP-specific portion of GRO. The criterion for merging is extremely strict (the TCP header must match exactly apart from the checksum) so as to allow refragmentation.

2008-12-15net: Add skb_gro_receiveHerbert Xu
This patch adds the helper skb_gro_receive to merge packets for GRO. The current method is to allocate a new header skb and then chain the original packets to its frag_list. This is done to make it easier to integrate into the existing GSO framework. In future as GSO is moved into the drivers, we can undo this and simply chain the original packets together.

2008-12-15ipv4: Add GRO infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch adds GRO support for IPv4. The criteria for merging is more stringent than LRO, in particular, we require all fields in the IP header to be identical except for the length, ID and checksum. In addition, the ID must form an arithmetic sequence with a difference of one. The ID requirement might seem overly strict, however, most hardware TSO solutions already obey this rule. Linux itself also obeys this whether GSO is in use or not. In future we could relax this rule by storing the IDs (or rather making sure that we don't drop them when pulling the aggregate skb's tail).

2008-12-15net: Add Generic Receive Offload infrastructureHerbert Xu
This patch adds the top-level GRO (Generic Receive Offload) infrastructure. This is pretty similar to LRO except that this is protocol-independent. Instead of holding packets in an lro_mgr structure, they're now held in napi_struct. For drivers that intend to use this, they can set the NETIF_F_GRO bit and call napi_gro_receive instead of netif_receive_skb or just call netif_rx. The latter will call napi_receive_skb automatically. When napi_gro_receive is used, the driver must either call napi_complete/napi_rx_complete, or call napi_gro_flush in softirq context if the driver uses the primitives __napi_complete/__napi_rx_complete. Protocols will set the gro_receive and gro_complete function pointers in order to participate in this scheme. In addition to the packet, gro_receive will get a list of currently held packets. Each packet in the list has a same_flow field which is non-zero if it is a potential match for the new packet. For each packet that may match, they also have a flush field which is non-zero if the held packet must not be merged with the new packet. Once gro_receive has determined that the new skb matches a held packet, the held packet may be processed immediately if the new skb cannot be merged with it. In this case gro_receive should return the pointer to the existing skb in gro_list. Otherwise the new skb should be merged into the existing packet and NULL should be returned, unless the new skb makes it impossible for any further merges to be made (e.g., FIN packet) where the merged skb should be returned. Whenever the skb is merged into an existing entry, the gro_receive function should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->same_flow. Note that if an skb merely matches an existing entry but can't be merged with it, then this shouldn't be set. If gro_receive finds it pointless to hold the new skb for future merging, it should set NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush. Held packets will be flushed by napi_gro_flush which is called by napi_complete and napi_rx_complete. Currently held packets are stored in a singly liked list just like LRO. The list is limited to a maximum of 8 entries. In future, this may be expanded to use a hash table to allow more flows to be held for merging.

2008-12-15net: Add frag_list support to GSOHerbert Xu
This patch allows GSO to handle frag_list in a limited way for the purposes of allowing packets merged by GRO to be refragmented on output. Most hardware won't (and aren't expected to) support handling GRO frag_list packets directly. Therefore we will perform GSO in software for those cases. However, for drivers that can support it (such as virtual NICs) we may not have to segment the packets at all. Whether the added overhead of GRO/GSO is worthwhile for bridges and routers when weighed against the benefit of potentially increasing the MTU within the host is still an open question. However, for the case of host nodes this is undoubtedly a win. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-15net: Add frag_list support to skb_segmentHerbert Xu
This patch adds limited support for handling frag_list packets in skb_segment. The intention is to support GRO (Generic Receive Offload) packets which will be constructed by chaining normal packets using frag_list. As such we require all frag_list members terminate on exact MSS boundaries. This is checked using BUG_ON. As there should only be one producer in the kernel of such packets, namely GRO, this requirement should not be difficult to maintain.
