2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth lockless TXSantiago Leon
This patch adds the lockless TX feature to the ibmveth driver. The hypervisor has its own locking so the only change that is necessary is to protect the statistics counters. Signed-off-by: Santiago Leon <santil@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth fix buffer replenishingSantiago Leon
This patch removes the allocation of RX skb's buffers from a workqueue to be called directly at RX processing time. This change was suggested by Dave Miller when the driver was starving the RX buffers and deadlocking under heavy traffic: > Allocating RX SKBs via tasklet is, IMHO, the worst way to > do it. It is no surprise that there are starvation cases. > > If tasklets or work queues get delayed in any way, you lose, > and it's very easy for a card to catch up with the driver RX'ing > packets very fast, no matter how aggressive you make the > replenishing. By the time you detect that you need to be > "more aggressive" it is already too late. > The only pseudo-reliable way is to allocate at RX processing time. > Signed-off-by: Santiago Leon <santil@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>
2005-10-28[PATCH] ibmveth fix buffer pool managementSantiago Leon
This patch changes the way the ibmveth driver handles the receive buffers. The old code mallocs and maps all the buffers in the pools regardless of MTU size and it also limits the number of buffer pools to three. This patch makes the driver malloc and map the buffers necessary to support the current MTU. It also changes the hardcoded names of the buffer pool number, size, and elements to arrays to make it easier to change (with the hope of making them runtime parameters in the future).

2005-10-28[PATCH] tg3: fix ASF heartbeatMichael Chan
Change the ASF heart beat to 5 seconds for faster detection of system crash. The driver sends the heartbeat every 2 seconds and the ASF firmware will timeout and reset the device if no heartbeat is received after 5 seconds. The old scheme of 2 minutes is ineffective. tg3_write_mem_fast() is added to speed up the IO to send the heartbeat. When no workaround is needed, it will use direct MMIO to memory space to write to memory. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

2005-10-28[PATCH] DRIVER MODEL: Get rid of the obsolete tri-level suspend/resume callbacksRussell King
In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level. Then all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level. However, with PM v2, to maintain compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2 suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing drivers continued to work. Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary, we can remove it. Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

2005-10-18[PATCH] b44: alternate allocation option for DMA descriptorsJohn W. Linville
This is a (final?) hack to support the odd DMA allocation requirements of the b44 hardware. The b44 hardware has a 30-bit DMA mask. On x86, anything less than a 32-bit DMA mask forces allocations into the 16MB GFP_DMA range. The memory there is somewhat limited, often resulting in an inability to initialize the b44 driver. This hack uses streaming DMA allocation APIs in order to provide an alternative in case the GFP_DMA allocation fails. It is somewhat ugly, but not much worse than the similar existing hacks to support SKB allocations in the same driver. FWIW, I have received positive feedback on this from several Fedora users.

2005-10-18[PATCH] via-rhine: change mdelay to msleep and remove from ISR pathJohn W. Linville
Get rid of the mdelay call in rhine_disable_linkmon. The function is called from the via-rhine versions of mdio_read and mdio_write. Those functions are indirectly called from rhine_check_media and rhine_tx_timeout, both of which can be called in interrupt context. So, create tx_timeout_task and check_media_task as instances of struct work_struct inside of rhine_private. Then, change rhine_tx_timeout to invoke schedule_work for tx_timeout_task (i.e. rhine_tx_timeout_task), moving the work to process context. Also, change rhine_error (invoked from rhine_interrupt) to invoke schedule_work for check_media_task (i.e. rhine_check_media_task), which simply calls rhine_check media in process context. Finally, add a call to flush_scheduled_work in rhine_close to avoid any resource conflicts with pending work items. Signed-off-by: John W.
