Similar work-alike -chips from Lite-On, Macronics, ASIX, Compex and other listed below are also -supported. - - - -These chips are used on at least 140 unique PCI board designs. The great -number of chips and board designs supported is the reason for the -driver size and complexity. Almost of the increasing complexity is in the -board configuration and media selection code. There is very little -increasing in the operational critical path length. - - - - - Board-specific Settings - - -PCI bus devices are configured by the system at boot time, so no jumpers -need to be set on the board. The system BIOS preferably should assign the -PCI INTA signal to an otherwise unused system IRQ line. - - - -Some boards have EEPROMs tables with default media entry. The factory default -is usually "autoselect". This should only be overridden when using -transceiver connections without link beat e.g. 10base2 or AUI, or (rarely!) -for forcing full-duplex when used with old link partners that do not do -autonegotiation. - - - - - Driver Operation - -Ring buffers - - -The Tulip can use either ring buffers or lists of Tx and Rx descriptors. -This driver uses statically allocated rings of Rx and Tx descriptors, set at -compile time by RX/TX_RING_SIZE. This version of the driver allocates skbuffs -for the Rx ring buffers at open() time and passes the skb->data field to the -Tulip as receive data buffers. When an incoming frame is less than -RX_COPYBREAK bytes long, a fresh skbuff is allocated and the frame is -copied to the new skbuff. When the incoming frame is larger, the skbuff is -passed directly up the protocol stack and replaced by a newly allocated -skbuff. - - - -The RX_COPYBREAK value is chosen to trade-off the memory wasted by -using a full-sized skbuff for small frames vs. the copying costs of larger -frames. For small frames the copying cost is negligible (esp. considering -that we are pre-loading the cache with immediately useful header -information). For large frames the copying cost is non-trivial, and the -larger copy might flush the cache of useful data. A subtle aspect of this -choice is that the Tulip only receives into longword aligned buffers, thus -the IP header at offset 14 isn't longword aligned for further processing. -Copied frames are put into the new skbuff at an offset of "+2", thus copying -has the beneficial effect of aligning the IP header and preloading the -cache. - - - - -Synchronization - -The driver runs as two independent, single-threaded flows of control. One -is the send-packet routine, which enforces single-threaded use by the -dev->tbusy flag. The other thread is the interrupt handler, which is single -threaded by the hardware and other software. - - - -The send packet thread has partial control over the Tx ring and 'dev->tbusy' -flag. It sets the tbusy flag whenever it's queuing a Tx packet. If the next -queue slot is empty, it clears the tbusy flag when finished otherwise it sets -the 'tp->tx_full' flag. - - - -The interrupt handler has exclusive control over the Rx ring and records stats -from the Tx ring. (The Tx-done interrupt can't be selectively turned off, so -we can't avoid the interrupt overhead by having the Tx routine reap the Tx -stats.) After reaping the stats, it marks the queue entry as empty by setting -the 'base' to zero. Iff the 'tp->tx_full' flag is set, it clears both the -tx_full and tbusy flags. - - - - - - - - Errata - - -The old DEC databooks were light on details. -The 21040 databook claims that CSR13, CSR14, and CSR15 should each be the last -register of the set CSR12-15 written. Hmmm, now how is that possible? - - - -The DEC SROM format is very badly designed not precisely defined, leading to -part of the media selection junkheap below. Some boards do not have EEPROM -media tables and need to be patched up. Worse, other boards use the DEC -design kit media table when it isn't correct for their board. - - - -We cannot use MII interrupts because there is no defined GPIO pin to attach -them. The MII transceiver status is polled using an kernel timer. - - - - - Driver Change History - - Version 0.9.14 (February 20, 2001) - - Fix PNIC problems (Manfred Spraul) - Add new PCI id for Accton comet - Support Davicom tulips - Fix oops in eeprom parsing - Enable workarounds for early PCI chipsets - IA64, hppa csr0 support - Support media types 5, 6 - Interpret a bit more of the 21142 SROM extended media type 3 - Add missing delay in eeprom reading - - - - Version 0.9.11 (November 3, 2000) - - Eliminate extra bus accesses when sharing interrupts (prumpf) - Barrier following ownership descriptor bit flip (prumpf) - Endianness fixes for >14 addresses in setup frames (prumpf) - Report link beat to kernel/userspace via netif_carrier_*.
