      [PATCH] Add tsi108/9 On Chip Ethernet device driver support · 5e123b84
      Zang Roy-r61911 提交于
      Add tsi108/9 on chip Ethernet controller driver support.
      
      The driver code collects the feedback of previous posting form the mailing
      list and gives the update.
      
      MPC7448HPC2 platform in arch/powerpc uses tsi108 bridge.
      
      The following is a brief description of the Ethernet controller:
      
      The Tsi108/9 Ethernet Controller connects Switch Fabric to two independent
      Gigabit Ethernet ports,E0 and E1.  It uses a single Management interface to
      manage the two physical connection devices (PHYs).  Each Ethernet port has
      its own statistics monitor that tracks and reports key interface
      statistics.  Each port supports a 256-entry hash table for address
      filtering.  In addition, each port is bridged to the Switch Fabric through
      a 2-Kbyte transmit FIFO and a 4-Kbyte Receive FIFO.
      
      Each Ethernet port also has a pair of internal Ethernet DMA channels to
      support the transmit and receive data flows.  The Ethernet DMA channels use
      descriptors set up in memory, the memory map of the device, and access via
      the Switch Fabric.  The Ethernet Controller’s DMA arbiter handles
      arbitration for the Switch Fabric.  The Controller also has a register bus
      interface for register accesses and status monitor control.
      
      The PMD (Physical Media Device) interface operates in MII, GMII, or TBI
      modes.  The MII mode is used for connecting with 10 or 100 Mbit/s PMDs.
      The GMII and TBI modes are used to connect with Gigabit PMDs.  Internal
      data flows to and from the Ethernet Controller through the Switch Fabric.
      Each
      
      Ethernet port uses its transmit and receive DMA channels to manage data
      flows through buffer descriptors that are predefined by the system (the
      descriptors can exist anywhere in the system memory map).  These
      descriptors are data structures that point to buffers filled with data
      ready to transmit over Ethernet, or they point to empty buffers ready to
      receive data from Ethernet.

      [PATCH] beginning of 8390 fixes - generic and arm/etherh · 6c3561b0
      Al Viro 提交于
      etherh and a handful of other odd drivers use different macros when building
      8390.c.  Since we generate a single 8390.o and then link with it, in any
      config with both oddball and normal 8390-based driver we will end up with
      breakage in at least one of them.  Solution: take most of 8390.c into
      lib8390.c and have 8390.c, etherh.c and the rest of oddballs #include it.
      Helper macros are taken from 8390.h to whoever includes lib8390.c.  That
      way odd drivers get separate instances of compiled 8390 stuff and stop
      stepping on each other's toes.  8390.h gets cleaned up - we don't have
      the cascade of ifdefs in there and are left with the stuff that can be
      used by any 8390-based driver.  Current problems are exactly because of
      that cascade - we attempt to choose the set of helpers by looking at config
      and that, of course, doesn't work well when we have several sets needed
      by various drivers in our config.

      [PATCH] qla3xxx NIC driver · 5a4faa87
      Ron Mercer 提交于
      This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts.
      
      There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx)
      integrated upstream as well.
      
      I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had
      much response from Stephen Hemminger.
      
      - Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4.
      
      - The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions.
      
      - The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and
        ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across
        the network and iSCSI functions.  This protection is mostly during chip
        initialization and resets, but also include link management.
      
      - The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the
        iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time.
      
      This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel
      this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel.
      
      It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

      [NET]: Add IFB (Intermediate Functional Block) network device. · 253af423
      Jamal Hadi Salim 提交于
      A new device to do intermidiate functional block in a system shared
      manner.  To use the new functionality, you need to turn on
      qos/classifier actions.
      
      The new functionality can be grouped as:
      
      1) qdiscs/policies that are per device as opposed to system wide.  ifb
      allows for a device which can be redirected to thus providing an
      impression of sharing.
      
      2) Allows for queueing incoming traffic for shaping instead of
      dropping.
      
      Packets are redirected to this device using tc/action mirred redirect
      construct. If they are sent to it by plain routing instead then they
      will merely be dropped and the stats would indicate that.

      [PATCH] intel ixp2000 network driver · 15d014d1
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      The way the hardware and firmware work is that there is one shared RX
      queue and IRQ for a number of different network interfaces.  Due to this,
      we would like to process received packets for every interface in the same
      NAPI poll handler, so we need a pseudo-device to schedule polling on.
      
      What the driver currently does is that it always schedules polling for
      the first network interface in the list, and processes packets for every
      interface in the poll handler for that first interface -- however, this
      scheme breaks down if the first network interface happens to not be up,
      since netif_rx_schedule_prep() checks netif_running().
      
      sky2 apparently has the same issue, and Stephen Hemminger suggested a
      way to work around this: create a variant of netif_rx_schedule_prep()
      that does not check netif_running().  I implemented this locally and
      called it netif_rx_schedule_prep_notup(), and it seems to work well,
      but it's something that probably not everyone would be happy with.
      
      The ixp2000 is an ARM CPU with a high-speed network interface in the
      CPU itself (full duplex 4Gb/s or 10Gb/s depending on the IXP model.)
      The CPU package also contains 8 or 16 (again depending on the IXP
      model) 'microengines', which are somewhat primitive but very fast
      and efficient processor cores which can be used to offload various
      things from the main CPU.
      
      This driver makes the high-speed network interface in the CPU visible
      and usable as a regular linux network device.  Currently, it only
      supports the Radisys ENP2611 IXP board, but adding support for other
      board types should be fairly easy.

      [PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module · b3f9b92a
      Matt Domsch 提交于
      From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>
      
      The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
      as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
      servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
      (PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
      use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.
      
      This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
      pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
      than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.
      
      Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
      compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
      compression (encryption).

      The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,

      see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
      Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
      For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.
      
      A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
      vendor versions of 2.4
      
      Some accessor and wrapper functions like:

              t1_malloc
      are just annoying noise.
