2006-10-11[PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet reduce DMA kickingLinas Vepstas
The current code attempts to start the TX dma every time a packet is queued. This is too conservative, and wastes CPU time. This patch changes behaviour to call the kick-dma function less often, only when the tx queue is at risk of emptying. This reduces cpu usage, improves performance.

2006-10-11[PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet refine lockingLinas Vepstas
The transmit side of the spider ethernet driver currently places locks around some very large chunks of code. This results in a fair amount of lock contention is some cases. This patch makes the locks much more fine-grained, protecting only the cirtical sections. One lock is used to protect three locations: the queue head and tail pointers, and the queue low-watermark location.

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".

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.
