2008-04-16spidernet: fix error interrupt handlingIshizaki Kou
In addition to the value of GHIINT0STS, spidernet interrupt handler should check the values of GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers at the beginning of spider_net_interrupt() so as not to drop error interrupts. GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers indicates some of erroneous conditions in spidernet, and a few bits of GHIINT0STS register reflects these conditions. But GHIINT0MSK masks these bits, so you should check these conditions by reading GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers directly.

2007-10-10[NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup #1 -- save memory and shrink codeJeff Garzik
We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device, and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us. Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

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. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

2007-09-13spidernet: fix interrupt reason recognitionIshizaki Kou
This patch solves a problem that the spidernet driver sometimes fails to handle IRQ. The problem happens because, - In Cell architecture, interrupts may arrive at an interrupt controller, even if they are masked by the setting on registers of devices. It happens when interrupt packets are sent just before the interrupts are masked. - spidernet interrupt handler compares interrupt reasons with interrupt masks, so when such interrupts occurs, spidernet interrupt handler returns IRQ_NONE. - When all of interrupt handler return IRQ_NONE, linux kernel disables the IRQ and it no longer delivers interrupts to the interrupt handlers. spidernet doesn't work after above sequence, because it can't receive interrupts. This patch changes spidernet interrupt handler that it compares interrupt reason with SPIDER_NET_INTX_MASK_VALUE.

2007-07-10spidernet: improve interrupt handlingIshizaki Kou
We intend this patch to improve spidernet interrupt handling to be more strict. We had following problem and this patch solves it. -when CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ=y, request_irq() calls handler(). -when spider_net_open() is called, it calls request_irq() which calls spider_net_interrupt(). -if some specific interrupt bit is set at this timing, it calls netif_rx_schedule() and spider_net_poll() is scheduled. -spider_net_open() calls netif_poll_enable() which clears the bit __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED. -when spider_net_poll() is called, it calls netif_rx_complete() which causes BUG_ON() because __LINK_STATE_RX_SCHED is not set.

2007-06-20spidernet: Cure RX ram full bugLinas Vepstas
This patch fixes a rare deadlock that can occur when the kernel is not able to empty out the RX ring quickly enough. Below follows a detailed description of the bug and the fix. As long as the OS can empty out the RX buffers at a rate faster than the hardware can fill them, there is no problem. If, for some reason, the OS fails to empty the RX ring fast enough, the hardware GDACTDPA pointer will catch up to the head, notice the not-empty condition, ad stop. However, RX packets may still continue arriving on the wire. The spidernet chip can save some limited number of these in local RAM. When this local ram fills up, the spider chip will issue an interrupt indicating this (GHIINT0STS will show ERRINT, and the GRMFLLINT bit will be set in GHIINT1STS). When te RX ram full condition occurs, a certain bug/feature is triggered that has to be specially handled. This section describes the special handling for this condition. When the OS finally has a chance to run, it will empty out the RX ring. In particular, it will clear the descriptor on which the hardware had stopped. However, once the hardware has decided that a certain descriptor is invalid, it will not restart at that descriptor; instead it will restart at the next descr. This potentially will lead to a deadlock condition, as the tail pointer will be pointing at this descr, which, from the OS point of view, is empty; the OS will be waiting for this descr to be filled. However, the hardware has skipped this descr, and is filling the next descrs. Since the OS doesn't see this, there is a potential deadlock, with the OS waiting for one descr to fill, while the hardware is waiting for a differen set of descrs to become empty. A call to show_rx_chain() at this point indicates the nature of the problem. A typical print when the network is hung shows the following: net eth1: Spider RX RAM full, incoming packets might be discarded! net eth1: Total number of descrs=256 net eth1: Chain tail located at descr=255 net eth1: Chain head is at 255 net eth1: HW curr desc (GDACTDPA) is at 0 net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000 net eth1: HW next desc (GDACNEXTDA) is at 1 net eth1: Have 127 descrs with stat=x40800101 net eth1: Have 1 descrs with stat=x40800001 net eth1: Have 126 descrs with stat=x40800101 net eth1: Last 1 descrs with stat=xa0800000 Both the tail and head pointers are pointing at descr 255, which is marked xa... which is "empty". Thus, from the OS point of view, there is nothing to be done. In particular, there is the implicit assumption that everything in front of the "empty" descr must surely also be empty, as explained in the last section. The OS is waiting for descr 255 to become non-empty, which, in this case, will never happen. The HW pointer is at descr 0. This descr is marked 0x4.. or "full". Since its already full, the hardware can do nothing more, and thus has halted processing. Notice that descrs 0 through 254 are all marked "full", while descr 254 and 255 are empty. (The "Last 1 descrs" is descr 254, since tail was at 255.) Thus, the system is deadlocked, and there can be no forward progress; the OS thinks there's nothing to do, and the hardware has nowhere to put incoming data. This bug/feature is worked around with the spider_net_resync_head_ptr() routine. When the driver receives RX interrupts, but an examination of the RX chain seems to show it is empty, then it is probable that the hardware has skipped a descr or two (sometimes dozens under heavy network conditions). The spider_net_resync_head_ptr() subroutine will search the ring for the next full descr, and the driver will resume operations there. Since this will leave "holes" in the ring, there is also a spider_net_resync_tail_ptr() that will skip over such holes.

2007-04-19spidernet: Fix problem sending IP fragmentsLinas Vepstas
The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet frames (that actually work): - It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.) - The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.) - Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum) - Actual payload - Ethernet checksum Now what's different for IP fragment: - The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments), offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame. - UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid UDP-header at all. The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames. But IP fragments are different as explained above: I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments. The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly (ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW). But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE). Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they have different structure the silicon detects them the be not "well-formed" and skips them. The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.
