The current stack treats NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_NO_CSUM identically so we test for them in quite a few places. For the sake of brevity, I'm adding the macro NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM for these two. We also test the disjunct of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and the other two in various places, for that purpose I've added NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

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. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The last step of netdevice registration was being done by a delayed call, but because it was delayed, it was impossible to return any error code if the class_device registration failed. Side effects: * one state in registration process is unnecessary. * register_netdevice can sleep inside class_device registration/hotplug * code in netdev_run_todo only does unregistration so it is simpler.

This is a workaround for the case edge-triggered irq's. Several users seem to have broken configurations sharing edge-triggered irq's. To avoid losing IRQ's, reshedule if more work arrives.

this patch adds a dormant flag to network devices, RFC2863 operstate derived from these flags and possibility for userspace interaction. It allows drivers to signal that a device is unusable for user traffic without disabling queueing (and therefore the possibility for protocol establishment traffic to flow) and a userspace supplicant (WPA, 802.1X) to mark a device unusable without changes to the driver. It is the result of our long discussion. However I must admit that it represents what Jamal and I agreed on with compromises towards Krzysztof, but Thomas and Krzysztof still disagree with some parts. Anyway I think it should be applied.

Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens, it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum. I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the exceptions of: * Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call netdev_rx_csum_fault directly. * The following have not been completely checked/converted: ipmr ip_vs netfilter dccp This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger and David S. Miller. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.

Place them on separate cache lines in SMP to lower memory bouncing between multiple CPU accessing the device. - One part is mostly used on receive path (including eth_type_trans()) (poll_list, poll, quota, weight, last_rx, dev_addr, broadcast) - One part is mostly used on queue transmit path (qdisc) (queue_lock, qdisc, qdisc_sleeping, qdisc_list, tx_queue_len) - One part is mostly used on xmit path (device) (xmit_lock, xmit_lock_owner, priv, hard_start_xmit, trans_start) 'features' is placed outside of these hot points, in a location that may be shared by all cpus (because mostly read) name_hlist is moved close to name[IFNAMSIZ] to speedup __dev_get_by_name() Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Here is revised patch against netdev sky2 branch. It includes whitespace fixes, all the changes from the previous review as well as some optimizations and timing fixes to solve some of the hangs. The stall problem is better but not perfect. It appears that under stress the chip can't keep up with the bus and sends a pause frame, then hangs. This version is for testing, and hopefully other eyes might see the root cause of the problem. I don't want to reinvent the ugly watchdog code in the syskonnect version of sk98lin. If you read it you will see, the original driver writer and the hardware developer obviously didn't understand each other. Dual port support is included, but not tested yet. It did require small change to NAPI since both ports share same IRQ. Signed-off-by: NJeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

Eliminate the throttling behaviour when the netif receive queue fills because it behaves badly when using high speed networks under load. The throttling cause multiple packet drops that cause TCP to go into slow start mode. The same effective patch has been part of BIC TCP and H-TCP as well as part of Web100. The existing code drops 100's of packets when the queue fills; this changes it to individual packet drop-tail. Signed-off-by: NStephen Hemmminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

This patch introduces a netpoll_info structure, which the struct net_device will now point to instead of pointing to a struct netpoll. The reason for this is two-fold: 1) fields such as the rx_flags, poll_owner, and poll_lock should be maintained per net_device, not per netpoll; and 2) this is a first step in providing support for multiple netpoll clients to register against the same net_device. The struct netpoll is now pointed to by the netpoll_info structure. As such, the previous behaviour of the code is preserved. Signed-off-by: NJeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
