      e100: Optionally use I/O mode only to access register space · 27345bb6
      Jesse Brandeburg 提交于
      It appears that some systems still like e100 better if it uses
      I/O access mode.  Setting the new parameter use_io=1 will cause
      all driver instances to use io mapping to access the register
      space on the e100 device.

      e100: allow bad MAC address when running with invalid eeprom csum · 948cd43f
      Jesse Brandeburg 提交于
      Seved Torstendahl <seved.torstendahl@netinsight.net> suggested to
      let the module parameter for invalid eeprom checksum control the valid
      mac address test.
      
      If this bypass happens we should print a different message,
      or at least one that is correct, maybe something like below

      [netdrvr e100] experiment with doing RX in a similar manner to eepro100 · d52df4a3
      Scott Feldman 提交于
      I was going to say that eepro100's speedo_rx_link() does the same DMA
      abuse as e100, but then I noticed one little detail: eepro100 sets  both
      EL (end of list) and S (suspend) bits in the RFD as it chains it  to the
      RFD list.  e100 was only setting the EL bit.  Hmmm, that's  interesting.
      That means that if HW reads a RFD with the S-bit set,  it'll process
      that RFD and then suspend the receive unit.  The  receive unit will
      resume when SW clears the S-bit.  There is no need  for SW to restart
      the receive unit.  Which means a lot of the receive  unit state tracking
      code in the driver goes away.
      
      So here's a patch against 2.6.14.  (Sorry for inlining it; the mailer
      I'm using now will mess with the word wrap).  I can't test this on
      XScale (unless someone has an e100 module for Gumstix :) .  It should
      be doing exactly what eepro100 does with RFDs.  I don't believe this
      change will introduce a performance hit because the S-bit and EL-bit  go
      hand-in-hand meaning if we're going to suspend because of the S- bit,
      we're on the last resource anyway, so we'll have to wait for SW  to
      replenish.

      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] corruption during e100 MDI register access · ac7c6669
      ODonnell, Michael 提交于
      We have identified two related bugs in the e100 driver.
      
      Both bugs are related to manipulation of the MDI control register.
      
      The first problem is that the Ready bit is being ignored when writing to
      the Control register; we noticed this because the Linux bonding driver
      would occasionally come to the spurious conclusion that the link was down
      when querying Link State.  It turned out that by failing to wait for a
      previous command to complete it was selecting what was essentially a random
      register in the MDI register set.  When we added code that waits for the
      Ready bit (as shown in the patch file below) all such problems ceased.
      
      The second problem is that, although access to the MDI registers involves
      multiple steps which must not be intermixed, nothing was defending against
      two or more threads attempting simultaneous access.  The most obvious
      situation where such interference could occur involves the watchdog versus
      ioctl paths, but there are probably others, so we recommend the locking
      shown in our patch file.
