2006-12-11[PATCH] chelsio: working NAPIStephen Hemminger
This driver tries to enable/disable NAPI at runtime, but does so in an unsafe manner, and the NAPI interrupt handling is a mess. Replace it with a compile time selected NAPI implementation. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
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.

2005-12-24[PATCH] chelsio: transmit routine return valuesStephen Hemminger
The Chelsio driver does not return the correct values from the transmit routine. It works because the values don't conflict, but it is using the wrong defines. And -ENOMEM is not a legal return value. Since t1_sge_tx is only called in one place, making it static allows compiler to be potentially inline it.

2005-05-15[PATCH] A new 10GB Ethernet Driver by Chelsio CommunicationsChristoph Lameter
A Linux driver for the Chelsio 10Gb Ethernet Network Controller by Chelsio (http://www.chelsio.com). This driver supports the Chelsio N210 NIC and is backward compatible with the Chelsio N110 model 10Gb NICs. It supports AMD64, EM64T and x86 systems.

I would rather see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started. Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well. For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap. A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older vendor versions of 2.4 Some accessor and wrapper functions like: t1_pci_read_config_4 adapter_name t1_malloc are just annoying noise. Why have useless dead code like: /* Interrupt handler */ +static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac) +{ + u32 master_intr_status; +/* + 1. Read master interrupt register. + 2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers. + 3. Handle BLOCK interrupts. +*/ Jeff said: step 1: kill all the OS wrappers. And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is really supported? Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway -- struct net_device. From: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian Bunk. Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k. - clean up tabs - removed my3126.c - removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h - removed 80% of regs.h - removed various calls, renamed variables/functions. - removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep) - removed dead code - dropped redundant casts in osdep.h - dropped redundant check of kfree - dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff) - reduced number of #ifdefs - use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc - Add information about known issues with the driver - Add information about authors Signed-off-by: Scott Bardone <sbardone@chelsio.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> diff -puN /dev/null Documentation/networking/cxgb.txt
