      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.

      Ravinandan Arakali 提交于
      [PATCH] S2io: Large Receive Offload (LRO) feature(v2) for Neterion (s2io) 10GbE Xframe PCI-X and PCI-E NICs
      
      Hi,
      Below is a patch for the Large Receive Offload feature.
      Please review and let us know your comments.
      
      LRO algorithm was described in an OLS 2005 presentation, located at
      ftp.s2io.com
      user: linuxdocs
      password: HALdocs
      
      The same ftp site has Programming Manual for Xframe-I ASIC.
      LRO feature is supported on Neterion Xframe-I, Xframe-II and
      Xframe-Express 10GbE NICs.
      
      Brief description:
      The Large Receive Offload(LRO) feature is a stateless offload
      that is complementary to TSO feature but on the receive path.
      The idea is to combine and collapse(upto 64K maximum) in the
      driver, in-sequence TCP packets belonging to the same session.
      It is mainly designed to improve 1500 mtu receive performance,
      since Jumbo frame performance is already close to 10GbE line
      rate. Some performance numbers are attached below.
      
      Implementation details:
      1. Handle packet chains from multiple sessions(current default
      MAX_LRO_SESSSIONS=32).
      2. Examine each packet for eligiblity to aggregate. A packet is
      considered eligible if it meets all the below criteria.
        a. It is a TCP/IP packet and L2 type is not LLC or SNAP.
        b. The packet has no checksum errors(L3 and L4).
        c. There are no IP options. The only TCP option supported is timestamps.
        d. Search and locate the LRO object corresponding to this
           socket and ensure packet is in TCP sequence.
        e. It's not a special packet(SYN, FIN, RST, URG, PSH etc. flags are not set).
        f. TCP payload is non-zero(It's not a pure ACK).
        g. It's not an IP-fragmented packet.
      3. If a packet is found eligible, the LRO object is updated with
         information such as next sequence number expected, current length
         of aggregated packet and so on. If not eligible or max packets
         reached, update IP and TCP headers of first packet in the chain
         and pass it up to stack.
      4. The frag_list in skb structure is used to chain packets into one
         large packet.
      
      Kernel changes required: None
      
      Performance results:
      Main focus of the initial testing was on 1500 mtu receiver, since this
      is a bottleneck not covered by the existing stateless offloads.
      
      There are couple disclaimers about the performance results below:
      1. Your mileage will vary!!!! We initially concentrated on couple pci-x
      2.0 platforms that are powerful enough to push 10 GbE NIC and do not
      have bottlenecks other than cpu%;  testing on other platforms is still
      in progress. On some lower end systems we are seeing lower gains.
      
      2. Current LRO implementation is still (for the most part) software based,
      and therefore performance potential of the feature is far from being realized.
      Full hw implementation of LRO is expected in the next version of Xframe ASIC.
      
      Performance delta(with MTU=1500) going from LRO disabled to enabled:
      IBM 2-way Xeon (x366) : 3.5 to 7.1 Gbps
      2-way Opteron : 4.5 to 6.1 Gbps

      [PATCH] S2io: Multi buffer mode support · da6971d8
      Ananda Raju 提交于
      Hi,
      This patch  provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
      Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
      one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter
      
      ie.
      #insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2
      
      This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
      functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
      "skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
      one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter
      
      ie.
      #insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3
      
      Please review the patch.

      [PATCH] S2io: Hardware and miscellaneous fixes · 776bd20f
      ravinandan.arakali@neterion.com 提交于
      Hi,
      This patch contains the following hardware related fixes and other
      miscellaneous bug fixes.
      
      1. Updated the definition of single and double-bit ECC errors
      2. Earlier we were allocating Transmit descriptors equal to
         MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This was causing a boundary condition failure.
         Need to allocate MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1 descriptors.
      3. On some platforms(like PPC), pci_alloc_consistent() can return
         a zero DMA address. Since the NIC cannot handle zero-addresses,
         a workaround has been provided. Basically, we don't use such
         that page. We reallocate.
      4. If list_info allocation failed during driver load, check for
         it during driver exit and return instead of trying to dereference
         NULL pointer.
      5. Increase the debug level of few non-critical debug messages.
      6. Reset the card on critical ECC double errors only in case of
         XframeI since XframeII can recover from such errors.
      7. Print copyright message on driver load.
      8. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.8.1
