2009-08-13ixgbe: fix issues setting rx-usecs with legacy interruptsDon Skidmore
Currently setting rx-usecs when the interface is in legacy interrupt mode it is not immediate. We were only setting EITR for each MSIx vector and since this count would be zero for legacy mode it wasn't set until after a reset. This patch corrects that by checking what mode we are in and then setting EITR accordingly.

2009-07-30ixgbe: Fix RSC completion delay causing Rx interrupts to stopPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
When a user disables interrupt throttling with ethtool on 82599 devices, the interrupt timer may not be re-enabled if hardware RSC is running. The RSC completions in hardware don't complete before the next ITR event tries to fire, so the ITR timer never gets re-armed. This patch increases the amount of time between interrupts when throttling is disabled (rx-usecs = 0) when the hardware RSC deature is enabled.

82599 supports using either link flow control or priority flow control when in DCB mode. The dcbnl interface already supports sending down configurations through rtnetlink that can enable LFC when DCB is enabled, so the driver should take advantage of this. 82598 does not support using LFC when DCB is enabled, so explicitly disable it when we're in DCB mode.

2009-04-28ixgbe: enable HW RSC for 82599Alexander Duyck
This patch enables hardware receive side coalescing for 82599 hardware. 82599 can merge multiple frames from the same TCP/IP flow into a single structure that can span one ore more descriptors. The accumulated data is arranged similar to how jumbo frames are arranged with the exception that other packets can be interlaced inbetween. To overcome this issue a next pointer is included in the written back descriptor which indicates the next descriptor in the writeback sequence. This feature sets the NETIF_F_LRO flag and clearing it via the ethtool set flags operation will also disable hardware RSC.

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev). Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read. But it is too big to be sent in one mail. I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes, which is max size allowed by vger.

2008-07-17net: Use queue aware tests throughout.David S. Miller
This effectively "flips the switch" by making the core networking and multiqueue-aware drivers use the new TX multiqueue structures. Non-multiqueue drivers need no changes. The interfaces they use such as netif_stop_queue() degenerate into an operation on TX queue zero. So everything "just works" for them. Code that really wants to do "X" to all TX queues now invokes a routine that does so, such as netif_tx_wake_all_queues(), netif_tx_stop_all_queues(), etc. pktgen and netpoll required a little bit more surgery than the others. In particular the pktgen changes, whilst functional, could be largely improved. The initial check in pktgen_xmit() will sometimes check the wrong queue, which is mostly harmless. The thing to do is probably to invoke fill_packet() earlier. The bulk of the netpoll changes is to make the code operate solely on the TX queue indicated by by the SKB queue mapping. Setting of the SKB queue mapping is entirely confined inside of net/core/dev.c:dev_pick_tx(). If we end up needing any kind of special semantics (drops, for example) it will be implemented here. Finally, we now have a "real_num_tx_queues" which is where the driver indicates how many TX queues are actually active. With IGB changes from Jeff Kirsher. Signed-off-by: David S.
