      [NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup #1 -- save memory and shrink code · 09f75cd7
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
      and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.
      
      Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
      statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.
      
      This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
      remain to be updated.

      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.

      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.

      [PATCH] Remove more unnecessary driver printk's · d5b20697
      Andy Gospodarek 提交于
      As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all
      unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in
      promiscuous mode.  The duplicate messages are not needed so they have
      been removed.  Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an
      update, but I did them all anyway.
      
      I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send
      out a patch for those soon.

      [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.
