* ixgb: add RNBC counter - no buffer count - to ethtool statsAuke Kok2008-02-241-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | This counter is valuable to determine if the system is unable to timely return buffers to the hardware and this counter starts to increase well before the hardware starts to drop packets. If users experience rx_no_buffer_count increasing, they should increase the amount of descriptors. That will provide more buffers for the hardware and will decrease the chance of hard drops.

* [NET]: Fix interrupt semaphore corruption in Intel drivers.David S. Miller2008-01-201-3/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several of the Intel ethernet drivers keep an atomic counter used to manage when to actually hit the hardware with a disable or an enable. The way the net_rx_work() breakout logic works during a pending napi_disable() is that it simply unschedules the poll even if it still has work. This can potentially leave interrupts disabled, but that is OK because all of the drivers are about to disable interrupts anyways in all such code paths that do a napi_disable(). Unfortunately, this trips up the semaphore used here in the Intel drivers. If you hit this case, when you try to bring the interface back up it won't enable interrupts. A reload of the driver module fixes it of course. So what we do is make sure all the sequences now go: napi_disable(); atomic_set(&adapter->irq_sem, 0); *_irq_disable(); which makes sure the counter is always in the correct state.

* [NET]: Make ->poll() breakout consistent in Intel ethernet drivers.David S. Miller2008-01-081-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the ->poll() routines of the E100, E1000, E1000E, IXGB, and IXGBE drivers complete ->poll() consistently. Now they will all break out when the amount of RX work done is less than 'budget'. At a later time, we may want put back code to include the TX work as well (as at least one other NAPI driver does, but by in large NAPI drivers do not do this). But if so, it should be done consistently across the board to all of these drivers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Acked-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com>

* [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctlsJeff Garzik2007-10-101-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For the operations get-tx-csum get-sg get-tso get-ufo the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior. This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls. The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation -- a not-uncommon case. Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a later date.

* [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger2007-10-102-17/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device.

Here is an attempt to clean it all up. In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci" or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the false positives manually.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-051-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | We keep getting requests from people that think that this might be an exploitable hole where we would overwrite 4 bytes in the netdev struct if the pci name would exceed 15 characters. In reality this will never happen but we fix it anyway. Signed-off-by: Auke Kok <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com>
