      [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctls · 88d3aafd
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      For the operations
      	get-tx-csum
      	get-sg
      	get-tso
      	get-ufo
      the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we
      permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior.
      
      This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating
      ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had
      not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls.
      
      The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone
      wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation --
      a not-uncommon case.  Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused
      for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a
      later date.

      [NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro. · 10d024c1
      Ralf Baechle 提交于
      It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
      remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
      maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

      [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects. · bea3348e
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      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.

      skge: set mac address bonding fix · 2eb3e621
      Stephen Hemminger 提交于
      When bonding does fail over it calls set_mac_address.  When this happens
      as the result of another port going down, the phy_mutex that is common to
      both ports is held, so it deadlocks. Setting the address doesn't need to do
      anything that needs the phy_mutex, it already has the RTNL to protect against
      other admin actions.
      
      This change just disables the receiver to avoid any hardware confusion
      while address is changing.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      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.
