2009-12-18gianfar: Fix stats supportSandeep Gopalpet
This patch updates the per rx/tx queue stats. To update the per rx queue stats a new structure has been introduced rx_q_stats. The per tx queue stats are updated via the netdev_queue structure itself. Note that we update only the tx_packtes, tx_bytes, rx_packets, rx_bytes and rx_dropped stats on a per queue basis.

2009-11-02gianfar: Add Multiple group SupportSandeep Gopalpet
This patch introduces multiple group support for etsec2.0 devices.

2009-11-02gianfar: Add Multiple Queue SupportSandeep Gopalpet
This patch introduces multiple Tx and Rx queues. The incoming packets can be classified into different queues based on filer rules (out of scope of this patch). The number of queues enabled will be based on a DTS entries fsl,num_tx_queues and fsl,num_rx_queues. Although we are enabling multiple queues, the interrupt coalescing is on per device level (etsec-1.7 doesn't support multiple rxics and txics).

2009-11-02gianfar: Introduce logical group support.Sandeep Gopalpet
This patch introduces the group structure. The elements of this structure are the interrupt lines, their corresponding names, the register memory map. The elements for this group are factored out from the gfar_private structure. The introduction of group structure will help in providing support for newer versions of etsec. Currently, the support is present only for single group and single tx/rx queues. Signed-off-by: Sandeep Gopalpet <Sandeep.Kumar@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2009-05-26gianfar: fix babbling rx error event bugXiaotian Feng
Gianfar interrupt handler uses IEVENT_ERR_MASK to check and handle errors. Babbling RX error (IEVENT_BABR) should be included in IEVENT_ERROR_MASK. Otherwise if BABR is raised, it never gets handled nor cleared, and an interrupt storm results. This has been observed to happen on sending a burst of ethernet frames to a gianfar based board.

2008-12-16gianfar: Add macros for stepping through BDsAndy Fleming
This code is based strongly on code from Dai Haruki <Dai.Haruki@freescale.com>. The gianfar Buffer Descriptors are arranged in a circular array, the end of which is denoted by setting the "WRAP" bit in the descriptor. However, the software knows the end of the ring because it knows how many descriptors are there. Rather than check each descriptor for whether the WRAP bit is set, use pointer math to determine where the next BD is. This is also useful for when we want to look at BDs other than the very next one (for Scatter-Gather). Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

TBIPA needs to be set to a value (on connected MDIO buses) that doesn't conflict with PHYs on the bus. By hardcoding it to 0x1f, we were preventing boards with PHYs at 0x1f from working properly. Instead, scan the bus when it comes up, and find an address that doesn't have a PHY on it. The TBI PHY configuration code then trusts that the value in TBIPA is either safe, or doesn't matter (ie - it's not an active bus with other PHYs).

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger
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. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.

Most PHYs connect to an ethernet controller over a GMII or MII interface. However, a growing number are connected over different interfaces, such as RGMII or SGMII. The ethernet driver will tell the PHY what type of connection it is by setting it manually, or passing it in through phy_connect (or phy_attach).

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells
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.

2006-04-20[PATCH] Fix locking in gianfarAndy Fleming
This patch fixes several bugs in the gianfar driver, including a major one where spinlocks were horribly broken: * Split gianfar locks into two types: TX and RX * Made it so gfar_start() now clears RHALT * Fixed a bug where calling gfar_start_xmit() with interrupts off would corrupt the interrupt state * Fixed a bug where a frame could potentially arrive, and never be handled (if no more frames arrived * Fixed a bug where the rx_work_limit would never be observed by the rx completion code * Fixed a bug where the interrupt handlers were not actually protected by their spinlocks Signed-off-by: Andy Fleming <afleming@freescale.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
