2006-12-02[PATCH] bcm43xx: remove badness variable and related routineLarry Finger
When the periodic work function in bcm43xx was converted for voluntary preemption to reduce latency, a new function was created to estimate the "badness" of each step, and this quantity was used to determine if preemption should be enabled when periodic work was undertaken. This concept was quite useful while debugging of periodic work was in progress. Now that this routine seems to be working correctly, it is time to simplify the code. This patch keeps the functionality intact, but simplifies the code. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

2006-12-02[PATCH] Fixed a number of bugs in the PHY LayerAndy Fleming
* genphy_update_link is now exported * Added a fix from ncase@xes-inc.com which changes forcing so it only updates the link. Otherwise, it never tries the lower values, since it is always overwriting the speed/duplex values with the current ones, rather than the intended ones. * Fixed a bug where bringing up a PHY with no link caused it to timeout, and enter forcing mode. Once in forcing mode, plugging in the link didn't autonegotiate. Now the AN state detects the lack of link, and enters the NO_LINK state. AN only times out if the link is up and AN fails * Cleaned up the PHY_AN case, reducing one level of indentation for the timeout code. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
2006-12-02[PATCH] subdance: fix TX Pause bug (reset_tx, intr_handler)Jesse Huang
Fix TX Pause bug (reset_tx, intr_handler). When MaxCollisions occurred, need to re-enable Tx. But just after re-enable, MaxCollisions maybe occurred again and with TxStatusOverflow. This will cause driver can't check new MaxCollisions to re-enable Tx again, because TxStatusOverflow. For this reason, after re-enable Tx, we need to make sure Tx was actually enabled.

2006-12-02e1000: add dynamic itr modesJesse Brandeburg
Add a new dynamic itr algorithm, with 2 modes, and make it the default operation mode. This greatly reduces latency and increases small packet performance, at the "cost" of some CPU utilization. Bulk traffic throughput is unaffected. The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter will generate per second. Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and latency. The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented. Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value for that traffic. The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency", for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or minimal traffic. In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications. For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency". Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable for bulk throughput traffic.

For the most part, there is no difficulty; however for TKIP and CCMP encryption, the duplicates result in a "replay detected" log message where the received and previous values of the TSC are identical.
