2009-07-16E100: work around the driver using streaming DMA mapping for RX descriptors.Krzysztof Halasa
E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to transfer skb->data ownership to the device after it reads the descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms. This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Halasa <khc@pm.waw.pl> Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-06-18Net / e100: Fix suspend of devices that cannot be power managedRafael J. Wysocki
If the adapter is not power-manageable using either ACPI, or the native PCI PM interface, __e100_power_off() returns error code, which causes every attempt to suspend to fail, although it should return 0 in such a case. Fix this problem by ignoring the return value of pci_set_power_state() in __e100_power_off(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Restore support for cards with MII-lacking PHYs as compared to removed pre-2.6.29 eepro100 driver: use full low-level MII I/O access abstraction by providing clean PHY-specific mdio_ctrl() functions for either standard MII-compliant cards, slightly special ones or non-MII PHY ones. We now have another netdev_priv member for mdio_ctrl(), thus we have some array indirection, but we save some additional opcodes for specific phy_82552_v handling in the common case.

BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state)) was being hit during e100 EEH recovery. The problem source was a napi_enable call being made during e100_io_error_detected. Napi should remain disabled after e100_down, and only be reenabled when the interface is recovered. This patch also updates e100_io_error_detected in order to make it similar to the current versions of the error_detected callback in drivers such as e1000e and ixgbe.

2009-04-28e100: do not go D3 in shutdown unless system is powering offThadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo
After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've had some problems when probing e100. It would not read the eeprom. After some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least 2.6.18). The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that suspend does and puts the device in D3 state. I couldn't find a way to get the device back to a sane state in the probe function. So, based on some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe, I wrote this one for e100.

2008-07-26dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori
Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

2008-01-28Fix e100 on systems that have cache incoherent DMADavid Acker
On the systems that have cache incoherent DMA, including ARM, there is a race condition between software allocating a new receive buffer and hardware writing into a buffer. The two race on touching the last Receive Frame Descriptor (RFD). It has its el-bit set and its next link equal to 0. When hardware encounters this buffer it attempts to write data to it and then update Status Word bits and Actual Count in the RFD. At the same time software may try to clear the el-bit and set the link address to a new buffer. Since the entire RFD is once cache-line, the two write operations can collide. This can lead to the receive unit stalling or interpreting random memory as its receive area. The fix is to set the el-bit on and the size to 0 on the next to last buffer in the chain. When the hardware encounters this buffer it stops and does not write to it at all. The hardware issues an RNR interrupt with the receive unit in the No Resources state. Software can write to the tail of the list because it knows hardware will stop on the previous descriptor that was marked as the end of list. Once it has a new next to last buffer prepared, it can clear the el-bit and set the size on the previous one. The race on this buffer is safe since the link already points to a valid next buffer and the software can handle the race setting the size (assuming aligned 16 bit writes are atomic with respect to the DMA read). If the hardware sees the el-bit cleared without the size set, it will move on to the next buffer and skip this one. If it sees the size set but the el-bit still set, it will complete that buffer and then RNR interrupt and wait.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device.
