      net/tulip/xircom_cb.c: remove superfulous priv assignment · 2808d2e8
      Mariusz Kozlowski 提交于
      	Unpatched version does sth like this:
      
      dev = alloc_etherdev(...
      private = netdev_priv(dev);
      ...
      dev->priv = private;
      
      which doesn't make much sense (does it?) because this is done in
      alloc_netdev() already.
      
      struct net_device *alloc_netdev(...
      {
      ...
      	if (sizeof_priv)
      		dev->priv = netdev_priv(dev);
      
      This patch removes superfluous code.

      [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,
      Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.
      
      [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.  Integrated
        Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
        handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues.  -DaveM ]

      PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h> · 6473d160
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
      not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.
      
      In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
      files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
      or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
      compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
      false positives manually.
      
      My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
      positives remaining. Untested files are:

      I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
      the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
      changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.

      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] EISA bus MODALIAS attributes support · 07563c71
      Michael Tokarev 提交于
      Add modalias attribute support for the almost forgotten now EISA bus and
      (at least some) EISA-aware modules.
      
      The modalias entry looks like (for an 3c509 NIC):
      
       eisa:sTCM5093
      
      and the in-module alias like:
      
       eisa:sTCM5093*
      
      The patch moves struct eisa_device_id declaration from include/linux/eisa.h
      to include/linux/mod_devicetable.h (so that the former now #includes the
      latter), adds proper MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(eisa, ...) statements for all
      drivers with EISA IDs I found (some drivers already have that DEVICE_TABLE
      declared), and adds recognision of __mod_eisa_device_table to
      scripts/mod/file2alias.c so that proper modules.alias will be generated.
      
      There's no support for /lib/modules/$kver/modules.eisamap, as it's not used
      by any existing tools, and because with in-kernel modalias mechanism those
      maps are obsolete anyway.
      
      The rationale for this patch is:
      
       a) to make EISA bus to act as other busses with modalias
          support, to unify driver loading
      
       b) to foget about EISA finally - with this patch, kernel
          (who still supports EISA) will be the only one who knows
          how to choose the necessary drivers for this bus ;)
