2009-10-06vxge: Allow multiple functions with INTA.Sreenivasa Honnur
- Allow multiple functions with INTA. - Removed the condition to allow only one vpath with INTA - Ensure that the alarm bit in titan_mask_all_int register is cleared when driver exits.

2009-10-06vxge: Fixed crash in PAE system due to wrong typecasting.Sreenivasa Honnur
- Fix a crash in PAE system due to wrong typecasting. - On PAE system size_t is unsigned int which is 32bit. Avoid casting 64 bit address to 32 bit Signed-off-by: Sreenivasa Honnur <sreenivasa.honnur@neterion.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-08-05vxge: prefetch RxD descriptorsBenjamin LaHaise
This patch prefetches RxD descriptors which helps to lower the latency of a cache miss in vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed. This lowers the % of CPU time used by vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed() where the descriptor is accessed in profiling netperf on a P4 Xeon from 1.5% to 1.0%.

2009-08-05vxge: improve tx performance by using mmiowb() instead of wmb()Benjamin LaHaise
wmb() is extremely heavy on x86. The semantics required in the driver are provided by mmiowb(), so use that and improve tx performance on P4 Xeons by 5-10%.

2009-08-05vxge: fix pktgen hangs (don't abuse skb->cb[])Benjamin LaHaise
This patch fixes a case in the transmit completion code which was resulting in pktgen hanging at the end of a run. The cause is due to the fact that the ->cb[] area of an skb cannot be used in a network driver's transmit path, as that area belongs to the network protocol. Pktgen hangs, as it sends out the same packet multiple times, and vxge's use of this area of the skb for a temporary list can only add the packet to the temporary list once (while it may be on the queue many times). The fix is to remove this abuse of skb->cb[]. Instead, skb pointers are placed into a temporary stack array, and then free outside of the tx lock. This retains the smp optimization of doing dev_kfree_skb() outside of the tx lock.
