2008-08-27atl1: disable TSO by defaultJay Cliburn
The atl1 driver is causing stalled connections and file corruption whenever TSO is enabled. Two examples are here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/15/325 http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/18/543 Disable TSO by default until we can determine the source of the problem.

2008-08-07atl1: deal with hardware rx checksum bugJay Cliburn
The L1 hardware contains a bug that flags a fragmented IP packet as having an incorrect TCP/UDP checksum, even though the packet is perfectly valid and its checksum is correct. There's no way to distinguish between one of these good packets and a packet that actually contains a TCP/UDP checksum error, so all we can do is allow the packet to be handed up to the higher layers and let it be sorted out there. Add a comment describing this condition and remove the code that currently fails to handle what may or may not be a checksum error.

2008-07-21atl1: Do not wake queue before queue has been started.David S. Miller
Based upon a bug report by Alexey Dobriyan, the patch is also tested by him and confirmed to fix the problem. Packet flow during link state events should not be done by waking and stopping the TX queue anyways, that is handled transparently by netif_carrier_{on,off}(). So, remove the netif_{wake,stop}_queue() calls in the link check code, and add the necessary netif_start_queue() call to atl1_up(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-06-17atl1: relax eeprom mac address error checkRadu Cristescu
The atl1 driver tries to determine the MAC address thusly: - If an EEPROM exists, read the MAC address from EEPROM and validate it. - If an EEPROM doesn't exist, try to read a MAC address from SPI flash. - If that fails, try to read a MAC address directly from the MAC Station Address register. - If that fails, assign a random MAC address provided by the kernel. We now have a report of a system fitted with an EEPROM containing all zeros where we expect the MAC address to be, and we currently handle this as an error condition. Turns out, on this system the BIOS writes a valid MAC address to the NIC's MAC Station Address register, but we never try to read it because we return an error when we find the all- zeros address in EEPROM. This patch relaxes the error check and continues looking for a MAC address even if it finds an illegal one in EEPROM.

2008-05-30atl1: fix 4G memory corruption bugAlexey Dobriyan
When using 4+ GB RAM and SWIOTLB is active, the driver corrupts memory by writing an skb after the relevant DMA page has been unmapped. Although this doesn't happen when *not* using bounce buffers, clearing the pointer to the DMA page after unmapping it fixes the problem. http://marc.info/?t=120861317000005&r=2&w=2 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jay Cliburn <jacliburn@bellsouth.net> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

2008-03-17atl1: simplify tx packet descriptorJay Cliburn
The transmit packet descriptor consists of four 32-bit words, with word 3 upper bits overloaded depending upon the condition of its bits 3 and 4. The driver currently duplicates all word 2 and some word 3 register bit definitions unnecessarily and also uses a set of nested structures in its definition of the TPD without good cause. This patch adds a lengthy comment describing the TPD, eliminates duplicate TPD bit definitions, and simplifies the TPD structure itself. It also expands the TSO check to correctly handle custom checksum versus TSO processing using the revised TPD definitions. Finally, shorten some variable names in the transmit processing path to reduce line lengths, rename some variables to better describe their purpose (e.g., nseg versus m), and add a comment or two to better describe what the code is doing.

2008-03-17atl1: fix broken TSOJay Cliburn
The L1 tx packet descriptor expects TCP Header Length to be expressed as a number of 32-bit dwords. The atl1 driver uses tcp_hdrlen() to populate the field, but tcp_hdrlen() returns the header length in bytes, not in dwords. Add a shift to convert tcp_hdrlen() to dwords when we write it to the tpd. Also, some of our bit assignments are made to the wrong tpd words. Change those to the correct words. Finally, since all this fixes TSO, enable TSO by default.

2008-03-17atl1: move common functions to atlx filesJay Cliburn
The future atl2 driver and the existing atl1 driver can share certain functions and definitions. Move these shareable functions and definitions out of atl1-specific files and into atlx.c and atlx.h. Some transitory hackery will be present until atl2 is merged. Reduce the number of source files by moving ethtool, hw, and param functions from separate files into atl1_main.c, then rename it to just atl1.c. Move all atl1-specific definitions from atl1_hw.h to atl1.h. Finally, clean up to make checkpatch.pl happy.
