2009-06-02forcedeth: add phy_power_down parameter, leave phy powered up by default (v2)Ed Swierk
Add a phy_power_down parameter to forcedeth: set to 1 to power down the phy and disable the link when an interface goes down; set to 0 to always leave the phy powered up. The phy power state persists across reboots; Windows, some BIOSes, and older versions of Linux don't bother to power up the phy again, forcing users to remove all power to get the interface working (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13072). Leaving the phy powered on is the safest default behavior. Users accustomed to seeing the link state reflect the interface state and/or wanting to minimize power consumption can set phy_power_down=1 if compatibility with other OSes is not an issue.

2009-04-09forcedeth: Use napi_complete() not __napi_complete().David S. Miller
It's not enough that forcedeth's interrupts are disabled, local cpu interrupts have to unconditionally be off when we remove the device from the poll list.

2009-03-10forcedeth: fix irq clearing and napi spin lock changesAyaz Abdulla
This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would then be cleared accidentally. Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as we turn off all interrupts now).

2009-03-10forcedeth: performance changesAyaz Abdulla
This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a timer irq in throughput mode. Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e 512 bytes.

2009-03-10forcedeth: add interrupt moderation logicAyaz Abdulla
This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.

2009-03-10forcedeth: remove isr processing loopAyaz Abdulla

2009-03-10forcedeth: add new optimization modeAyaz Abdulla
A new optimization mode called Dynamic has been added. This will be mode where interrupt moderation logic will dynamically switch between pure throughput mode and poll based (called 'cpu') mode. Also, for newer chipsets, the timer irq is not needed for throughput mode. Secondly, since we are modifying the irqmask to change between modes, msix is not supported.

2009-03-10forcedeth: napi - handle all processingAyaz Abdulla

2009-03-10forcedeth: add/modify tx done with limitAyaz Abdulla

2009-03-10forcedeth: remove overheadAyaz Abdulla
This patch removes unnecessary overhead code. Firstly, there is no nead to mask off unwanted interrupts as we will be checking against the irqmask field anyways. Secondly, there has been no value in last few years from detecting error or unknown interrupts. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-03-10forcedeth: save irq events for napi processingAyaz Abdulla

2009-02-16net: forcedeth: Fix wake-on-lan regressionTobias Diedrich
Commit f55c21fd9a92a444e55ad1ca4e4732d56661bf2e ("forcedeth: call restore mac addr in nv_shutdown path"), which was introduced to fix the regression tracked at http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11358 causes the wake-on-lan mac to be reversed in the shutdown path. Apparently the forcedeth situation is rather messy in that the mac we need to writeback for a subsequent modprobe to work is exactly the reverse of what is needed for proper wake-on-lan. The following patch explains the situation in the comments and makes the call to nv_restore_mac_addr() conditional (only called if we are not really going for poweroff).

2008-12-03forcedeth: power down phy when interface is downEd Swierk
Bring the physical link down when the interface is down by placing the PHY in power-down state, unless WOL is enabled. This mirrors the behavior of other drivers including e1000 and tg3. Without the patch, ifconfig down leaves the physical link up, which confuses datacenter users who expect the link lights both on the NIC and the switch to go out when they bring an interface down. Furthermore, even though the phy is powered on, autonegotiation stops working, so a normally gigabit link might suddenly become 100 Mbit half-duplex when the interface goes down, and become gigabit when it comes up again. Ayaz said: I would not include this patch until further testing is performed. NVIDIA MCP chips use 3rd party PHY vendors. By powering down the phy, it could have adverse affects on certain phys. Arthur Jones said: I just ran across this patch. Tested on a Marvell 88E1121R (GigE PHY) and works great. This is a very important feature for me.

2008-11-02forcdeth: increase max_interrupt_workJoe Korty
This eliminates the following often-generated warning from my 64 bit Opteron SMP test stand: eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth driver has a too-low value for max_interrupt_work. Grepping the kernel I see that forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6). Most are in the 20-40 range. So this patch increases this a bit, from 6 to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest max_interrupt_work value). My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers). However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without extension headers. Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets. A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform software checksum calculation.
