      [netdrvr] natsemi: Fix device removal bug · f6c42865
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      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.

      Subject: natsemi: Allow users to disable workaround for DspCfg reset · 1a147809
      Mark Brown 提交于
      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.

      natsemi: netpoll fixes · 6006f7f5
      Sergei Shtylyov 提交于
      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.

      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.

      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.

      [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers · 03a8c661
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      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.

      [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock · 932ff279
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfix · e72fd96e
      Mark Brown 提交于
      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.

      [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers. · 689be439
      David S. Miller 提交于
      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.

      I've got a pair of FA312 cards and this problem has bothered me
      for ages.  This has finally prompted me to do something about it :)
      
      Turns out that somebody wasn't following the documentation.  We were
      doing 16-bit writes to 32-bit registers which led to some addresses
      working and others not so lucky.
