2007-04-19spidernet: Fix problem sending IP fragmentsLinas Vepstas
The basic structure of "normal" UDP/IP/Ethernet frames (that actually work): - It starts with the Ethernet header (dest MAC, src MAC, etc.) - The next part is occupied by the IP header (version info, length of packet, id=0, fragment offset=0, checksum, from / to address, etc.) - Then comes the UDP header (src / dest port, length, checksum) - Actual payload - Ethernet checksum Now what's different for IP fragment: - The IP header has id set to some value (same for all fragments), offset is set appropriately (i.e. 0 for first fragment, following according to size of other fragments), size is the length of the frame. - UDP header is unchanged. I.e. length is according to full UDP datagram, not just the part within the actual frame! But this is only true within the first frame: all following frames don't have a valid UDP-header at all. The spidernet silicon seems to be quite intelligent: It's able to compute (IP / UDP / Ethernet) checksums on the fly and tests if frames are conforming to RFC -- at least conforming to RFC on complete frames. But IP fragments are different as explained above: I.e. for IP fragments containing part of a UDP datagram it sees incompatible length in the headers for IP and UDP in the first frame and, thus, skips this frame. But the content *is* correct for IP fragments. For all following frames it finds (most probably) no valid UDP header at all. But this *is* also correct for IP fragments. The Linux IP-stack seems to be clever in this point. It expects the spidernet to calculate the checksum (since the module claims to be able to do so) and marks the skb's for "normal" frames accordingly (ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_HW). But for the IP fragments it does not expect the driver to be capable to handle the frames appropriately. Thus all checksums are allready computed. This is also flaged within the skb (ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE). Unfortunately the spidernet driver ignores that hints. It tries to send the IP fragments of UDP datagrams as normal UDP/IP frames. Since they have different structure the silicon detects them the be not "well-formed" and skips them. The following one-liner against 2.6.21-rc2 changes this behavior. If the IP-stack claims to have done the checksumming, the driver should not try to checksum (and analyze) the frame but send it as is.

2006-10-11[PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet low watermark patch.Linas Vepstas
Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue. Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the socket buffer is made large enough. The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows. The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started. As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets. If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled, no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode. The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed packet, rather than at fixed location in the queue, the code below needs to move the flag as more packets are queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag at about 1/4 from "empty".
