      [NET]: Allow skb headroom to be overridden · 025be81e
      Anton Blanchard 提交于
      Previously we added NET_IP_ALIGN so an architecture can override the
      padding done to align headers. The next step is to allow the skb
      headroom to be overridden.
      
      We currently always reserve 16 bytes to grow into, meaning all DMAs
      start 16 bytes into a cacheline. On ppc64 we really want DMA writes to
      start on a cacheline boundary, so we increase that headroom to one
      cacheline.

      [PATCH] splice: add support for SPLICE_F_MOVE flag · 5abc97aa
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This enables the caller to migrate pages from one address space page
      cache to another.  In buzz word marketing, you can do zero-copy file
      copies!

      [PATCH] Introduce sys_splice() system call · 5274f052
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This adds support for the sys_splice system call. Using a pipe as a
      transport, it can connect to files or sockets (latter as output only).
      
      From the splice.c comments:
      
         "splice": joining two ropes together by interweaving their strands.
      
         This is the "extended pipe" functionality, where a pipe is used as
         an arbitrary in-memory buffer. Think of a pipe as a small kernel
         buffer that you can use to transfer data from one end to the other.
      
         The traditional unix read/write is extended with a "splice()" operation
         that transfers data buffers to or from a pipe buffer.
      
         Named by Larry McVoy, original implementation from Linus, extended by
         Jens to support splicing to files and fixing the initial implementation
         bugs.

      [PATCH] libata: Simplex and other mode filtering logic · 5444a6f4
      Alan Cox 提交于
      Add a field to the host_set called 'flags' (was host_set_flags changed
      to suit Jeff)
      Add a simplex_claimed field so we can remember who owns the DMA channel
      Add a ->mode_filter() hook to allow drivers to filter modes
      Add docs for mode_filter and set_mode
      Filter according to simplex state
      Filter cable in core
      
      This provides the needed framework to support all the mode rules found
      in the PATA world. The simplex filter deals with 'to spec' simplex DMA
      systems found in older chips. The cable filter avoids duplicating the
      same rules in each chip driver with PATA. Finally the mode filter is
      neccessary because drive/chip combinations have errata that forbid
      certain modes with some drives or types of ATA object.
      
      Drive speed setup remains per channel for now and the filters now use
      the framework Tejun put into place which cleans them up a lot from the
      older libata-pata patches.

      [PATCH] libata: BMDMA handling updates · 4e5ec5db
      Alan Cox 提交于
      This is the minimal patch set to enable the current code to be used with
      a controller following SFF (ie any PATA and early SATA controllers)
      safely without crashes if there is no BMDMA area or if BMDMA is not
      assigned by the BIOS for some reason.
      
      Simplex status is recorded but not acted upon in this change, this isn't
      a problem with the current drivers as none of them are for simplex
      hardware. A following diff will deal with that.
      
      The flags in the probe structure remain ->host_set_flags although Jeff
      asked me to rename them, simply because the rename would break the usual
      Linux rules that old code should break when there are changes. not
      compile and run and then blow up/eat your computer/etc. Renaming this
      later is a trivial exercise once a better name is chosen.

      [NET]: Deinline some larger functions from netdevice.h · 56079431
      Denis Vlasenko 提交于
      On a allyesconfig'ured kernel:
      
      Size  Uses Wasted Name and definition
      ===== ==== ====== ================================================
         95  162  12075 netif_wake_queue      include/linux/netdevice.h
        129   86   9265 dev_kfree_skb_any     include/linux/netdevice.h
        127   56   5885 netif_device_attach   include/linux/netdevice.h
         73   86   4505 dev_kfree_skb_irq     include/linux/netdevice.h
         46   60   1534 netif_device_detach   include/linux/netdevice.h
        119   16   1485 __netif_rx_schedule   include/linux/netdevice.h
        143    5    492 netif_rx_schedule     include/linux/netdevice.h
         81    7    366 netif_schedule        include/linux/netdevice.h
      
      netif_wake_queue is big because __netif_schedule is a big inline:
      
      static inline void __netif_schedule(struct net_device *dev)
      {
              if (!test_and_set_bit(__LINK_STATE_SCHED, &dev->state)) {
                      unsigned long flags;
                      struct softnet_data *sd;
      
                      local_irq_save(flags);
                      sd = &__get_cpu_var(softnet_data);
                      dev->next_sched = sd->output_queue;
                      sd->output_queue = dev;
                      raise_softirq_irqoff(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ);
                      local_irq_restore(flags);
              }
      }
      
      static inline void netif_wake_queue(struct net_device *dev)
      {
      #ifdef CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP
              if (netpoll_trap())
                      return;
      #endif
              if (test_and_clear_bit(__LINK_STATE_XOFF, &dev->state))
                      __netif_schedule(dev);
      }
      
      By de-inlining __netif_schedule we are saving a lot of text
      at each callsite of netif_wake_queue and netif_schedule.
      __netif_rx_schedule is also big, and it makes more sense to keep
      both of them out of line.
      
      Patch also deinlines dev_kfree_skb_any. We can deinline dev_kfree_skb_irq
      instead... oh well.
      
      netif_device_attach/detach are not hot paths, we can deinline them too.
