This episode illustrates how an overused warning can train people to ignore that warning, which winds up hiding bugs. The warning drivers/net/natsemi.c: In function ‘natsemi_remove1’: drivers/net/natsemi.c:3222: warning: ignoring return value of ‘device_create_file’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result is oft-ignored, even though at close inspection one notices this occurs in the /remove/ function, not normally where creation occurs. A quick s/create/remove/ and we are fixed, with the warning gone. Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

The natsemi driver contains a workaround for broken hardware which can partially reset the chip at unpredictable times, detected by checking for spontaneous changes in the DspCfg register. The effects of the hardware bug appear to be variable and can range from minor problems like small numbers of corrupted packets to major ones such as the chip becoming non-functional. In the case of minor problems the chip reconfiguration required to work around the hardware can cause more problems than the bug itself. Since we have no way of automatically determining how badly the problem manifests on any given system provide an option in sysfs allowing users to disable the workaround at runtime and provides a module option to set the default.

The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled interrupts could be missed. This patch fixes that by ensuring that the interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when interrupts are enabled from the chip. It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and improves the trace for interrupt events.

The natsemi drivers include functions for enabling and disabling interrupts from the chip but these are not used in all code paths. This patch changes the code paths that touch the interrupt enable register to use the functions. In all cases this adds an extra PCI read to post the operation but since none of these are in fast paths this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Fix two issues in this driver's netpoll path: one usual, with spin_unlock_irq() enabling interrupts which nobody asks it to do (that has been fixed recently in a number of drivers) and one unusual, with poll_controller() method possibly causing loss of interrupts due to the interrupt status register being cleared by a simple read and the interrpupt handler simply storing it, not accumulating.

This patch provides code paths which allow the natsemi driver to use the external MII port on the chip but ignore any PHYs that may be attached to it. The link state will be left as it was when the driver started and can be configured via ethtool. Any PHYs that are present can be accessed via the MII ioctl()s. This is useful for systems where the device is connected without a PHY or where either information or actions outside the scope of the driver are required in order to use the PHYs.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their transmission routines. They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner. This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use. With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner isn't set. This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take xmit_lock recursively. While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire. So delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible. So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner. The following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner. I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be used directly. I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock. This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small bug fix in winbond. It currently uses netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission. This is unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue. So it is safer to use netif_tx_disable. The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to heavy load). When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup. This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping any currently pending packets.

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. Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
