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.

2007-10-08[POWERPC] qe: miscellaneous code improvements and fixes to the QE libraryTimur Tabi
This patch makes numerous miscellaneous code improvements to the QE library. 1. Remove struct ucc_common and merge ucc_init_guemr() into ucc_set_type() (every caller of ucc_init_guemr() also calls ucc_set_type()). Modify all callers of ucc_set_type() accordingly. 2. Remove the unused enum ucc_pram_initial_offset. 3. Refactor qe_setbrg(), also implement work-around for errata QE_General4. 4. Several printk() calls were missing the terminating \n. 5. Add __iomem where needed, and change u16 to __be16 and u32 to __be32 where appropriate. 6. In ucc_slow_init() the RBASE and TBASE registers in the PRAM were programmed with the wrong value. 7. Add the protocol type to struct us_info and updated ucc_slow_init() to use it, instead of always programming QE_CR_PROTOCOL_UNSPECIFIED. 8. Rename ucc_slow_restart_x() to ucc_slow_restart_tx() 9. Add several macros in qe.h (mostly for slow UCC support, but also to standardize some naming convention) and remove several unused macros. 10. Update ucc_geth.c to use the new macros. 11. Add ucc_slow_info.protocol to specify which QE_CR_PROTOCOL_xxx protcol to use when initializing the UCC in ucc_slow_init(). 12. Rename ucc_slow_pram.rfcr to rbmr and ucc_slow_pram.tfcr to tbmr, since these are the real names of the registers. 13. Use the setbits, clrbits, and clrsetbits where appropriate. 14. Refactor ucc_set_qe_mux_rxtx(). 15. Remove all instances of 'volatile'. 16. Simplify get_cmxucr_reg(); 17. Replace qe_mux.cmxucrX with qe_mux.cmxucr[]. 18.

2007-05-09[POWERPC] Change rheap functions to use ulongs instead of pointersTimur Tabi
The rheap allocation functions return a pointer, but the actual value is based on how the heap was initialized, and so it can be anything, e.g. an offset into a buffer. A ulong is a better representation of the value returned by the allocation functions. This patch changes all of the relevant rheap functions to use a unsigned long integers instead of a pointer. In case of an error, the value returned is a negative error code that has been cast to an unsigned long. The caller can use the IS_ERR_VALUE() macro to check for this. All code which calls the rheap functions is updated accordingly. Macros IS_MURAM_ERR() and IS_DPERR(), have been deleted in favor of IS_ERR_VALUE(). Also added error checking to rh_attach_region().

The ucc_geth_memclean function can be called before the Tx BD rings, Rx BD rings and associated socket buffers are allocated (for example if ucc_fast_init fails). The current code doesn't check if p_tx_bd_ring[i] is null, generating a kernel panic when trying to free the associated socket buffers. The function can also fail when accessing the uninitialized list_head structures ugeth->group_hash_q and ugeth->ind_hash_q. In the current implementation the list heads are initialized only when maxGroupAddrInHash and maxIndAddrInHash are positive values, although I think it's better to always initialize them.

Request the IRQ. * If rx_work_limit = 0 we are not complete. * While running Rx NAPI processing we must mask Rx events, including Rx busy. * ucc_geth_rx function does not need a lock. Could lead to deadlock in NAPI case. * There's no need to loop reading ucce multiple times in the ISR, so while adding the call to schedule NAPI which was not there, simplify the event processing into if-else format. * Rx Busy now kicks off NAPI processing, while still being counted as an error.

2007-04-28ucc_geth: migrate ucc_geth to phylibKim Phillips
migrate ucc_geth to use the common phylib code. There are several side effects from doing this: o deprecate 'interface' property specification present in some old device tree source files in favour of a split 'max-speed' and 'interface-type' description to appropriately match definitions in include/linux/phy.h. Note that 'interface' property is still honoured if max-speed or interface-type are not present (backward compatible). o compile-time CONFIG_UGETH_HAS_GIGA is eliminated in favour of probe time speed derivation logic. o adjust_link streamlined to only operate on maccfg2 and upsmr.r10m, instead of reapplying static initial values related to the interface-type. o Addition of UEC MDIO of_platform driver requires platform code add 'mdio' type to id list prior to calling of_platform_bus_probe (separate patch). o ucc_struct_init introduced to reduce ucc_geth_startup complexity.

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.
