2006-12-02[PATCH] sundance: remove TxStartThresh and RxEarlyThreshJesse Huang
For patent issue need to remove TxStartThresh and RxEarlyThresh. This patent is cut-through patent. If use this function, Tx will start to transmit after few data be move in to Tx FIFO. We are not allow to use those function in DFE530/DFE550/DFE580/DL10050/IP100/IP100A. It will decrease a little performance.

2006-12-02[PATCH] forcedeth: add recoverable error supportAyaz Abdulla
This patch adds support to recover from a previously fatal MAC error. In the past the MAC would be hung on an internal fatal error. On new chipsets, the MAC has the ability to enter a non-fatal state and allow the driver to re-init it. Signed-Off-By: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

2006-12-02[PATCH] defxx: Big-endian hosts supportMaciej W. Rozycki
The PDQ DMA engine requires a different byte-swapping mode for big-endian hosts; also the MAC address which is read from a register through PIO has to be byte-swapped.

2006-12-02e1000: add dynamic itr modesJesse Brandeburg
Add a new dynamic itr algorithm, with 2 modes, and make it the default operation mode. This greatly reduces latency and increases small packet performance, at the "cost" of some CPU utilization. Bulk traffic throughput is unaffected. The driver can limit the amount of interrupts per second that the adapter will generate for incoming packets. It does this by writing a value to the adapter that is based on the maximum amount of interrupts that the adapter will generate per second. Setting InterruptThrottleRate to a value greater or equal to 100 will program the adapter to send out a maximum of that many interrupts per second, even if more packets have come in. This reduces interrupt load on the system and can lower CPU utilization under heavy load, but will increase latency as packets are not processed as quickly. The default behaviour of the driver previously assumed a static InterruptThrottleRate value of 8000, providing a good fallback value for all traffic types,but lacking in small packet performance and latency. The hardware can handle many more small packets per second however, and for this reason an adaptive interrupt moderation algorithm was implemented. Since 7.3.x, the driver has two adaptive modes (setting 1 or 3) in which it dynamically adjusts the InterruptThrottleRate value based on the traffic that it receives. After determining the type of incoming traffic in the last timeframe, it will adjust the InterruptThrottleRate to an appropriate value for that traffic. The algorithm classifies the incoming traffic every interval into classes. Once the class is determined, the InterruptThrottleRate value is adjusted to suit that traffic type the best. There are three classes defined: "Bulk traffic", for large amounts of packets of normal size; "Low latency", for small amounts of traffic and/or a significant percentage of small packets; and "Lowest latency", for almost completely small packets or minimal traffic. In dynamic conservative mode, the InterruptThrottleRate value is set to 4000 for traffic that falls in class "Bulk traffic". If traffic falls in the "Low latency" or "Lowest latency" class, the InterruptThrottleRate is increased stepwise to 20000. This default mode is suitable for most applications. For situations where low latency is vital such as cluster or grid computing, the algorithm can reduce latency even more when InterruptThrottleRate is set to mode 1. In this mode, which operates the same as mode 3, the InterruptThrottleRate will be increased stepwise to 70000 for traffic in class "Lowest latency". Setting InterruptThrottleRate to 0 turns off any interrupt moderation and may improve small packet latency, but is generally not suitable for bulk throughput traffic.

2006-12-02[PATCH] beginning of 8390 fixes - generic and arm/etherhAl Viro
etherh and a handful of other odd drivers use different macros when building 8390.c. Since we generate a single 8390.o and then link with it, in any config with both oddball and normal 8390-based driver we will end up with breakage in at least one of them. Solution: take most of 8390.c into lib8390.c and have 8390.c, etherh.c and the rest of oddballs #include it. Helper macros are taken from 8390.h to whoever includes lib8390.c. That way odd drivers get separate instances of compiled 8390 stuff and stop stepping on each other's toes. 8390.h gets cleaned up - we don't have the cascade of ifdefs in there and are left with the stuff that can be used by any 8390-based driver. Current problems are exactly because of that cascade - we attempt to choose the set of helpers by looking at config and that, of course, doesn't work well when we have several sets needed by various drivers in our config.

2006-12-02[PATCH] 2.6.18: sb1250-mac: Phylib IRQ handling fixesMaciej W. Rozycki
This patch fixes a couple of problems discovered with interrupt handling in the phylib core, namely: 1. The driver uses timer and workqueue calls, but does not include <linux/timer.h> nor <linux/workqueue.h>. 2. The driver uses schedule_work() for handling interrupts, but does not make sure any pending work scheduled thus has been completed before driver's structures get freed from memory. This is especially important as interrupts may keep arriving if the line is shared with another PHY. The solution is to ignore phy_interrupt() calls if the reported device has already been halted and calling flush_scheduled_work() from phy_stop_interrupts() (but guarded with current_is_keventd() in case the function has been called through keventd from the MAC device's close call to avoid a deadlock on the netlink lock).
