      [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.
      
      Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,

      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.

      [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers · 03a8c661
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver
      set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was
      maintained in the driver source code.  These days, the kernel's
      changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver
      changelogs are removed.
      
      Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using
      "foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like
      "1.17b-LK1.1.9".  These drivers are for older hardware, and see few
      changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something
      more simple.
      
      Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes
      the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro.

      [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad · 5b057c6b
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
      the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
      interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
      requeueing.
      
      This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
      it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
      skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
      originally created.
      
      Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
      TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
      of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
      it's best if we don't do it.

      [netdrvr starfire] fix highmem and broken firmware issues · 67974231
      Ion Badulescu 提交于
      Unfortunately, [your patch] might address the crash but doesn't address
      the real problem. It turns out that the problem is one of padding
      (the firmware cksum engine works only on 32-bit chunks, yuck), so
      the special casing for length == 1 wasn't sufficient anyway.
      
      This patch addresses the issue, as well the other issue of i386 +
      CONFIG_HIGHMEM being broken. It is pretty much the same workaround
      that Adaptec themselves used in their Windows driver. I have yet to
      check if it fixes the problem when the skb is non-linear, but this
      patch _will_ solve the problem for 99% of the users out there (those
      not using sendfile).

      [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers. · 689be439
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
      
      In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
      
      	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
      
      	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
      
      	... skb->tail ...
      
      But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
      skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
      other than skb->data in these cases.
      
      Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
      the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
      to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
      to do instead.
      
      Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
      cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
      skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
      replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.
