[PATCH] ep93xx_eth: don't report RX errors

2006-11-01T01:22:05Z

Flooding the console with error messages for every RX FIFO overrun, checksum error and framing error isn't very sensible. Each of these errors can occur during normal operation, so stop printk'ing error messages for RX errors at all. Signed-off-by: Lennert Buytenhek Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] ep93xx_eth: fix RX/TXstatus ring full handling

2006-11-01T01:22:05Z

Ray Lehtiniemi reported that an incoming UDP packet flood can lock up the ep93xx ethernet driver. Herbert Valerio Riedel noted that due to the way ep93xx_eth manages the RX/TXstatus rings, it cannot distinguish a full ring from an empty one, and correctly suggested that this was likely to be causing this lockup to occur. Instead of looking at the hardware's RX/TXstatus ring write pointers to determine when to stop reading from those rings, we should just check every individual RX/TXstatus descriptor's valid bit instead, since there is no other way to distinguish an empty ring from a full ring, and if there is a descriptor waiting, we take the hit of reading the descriptor from memory anyway.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12Z

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. Signed-Off-By: David Howells (cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)

[ARM] 3865/1: AT91RM9200 header updates

2006-09-28T10:52:05Z

This is more preparation for adding support for the new Atmel AT91SAM9 processors. Changes include: - Replace AT91_BASE_* with AT91RM9200_BASE_* - Replace AT91_ID_* with AT91RM9200_ID_* - ROM, SRAM and UHP address definitions moved to at91rm9200.h. - The raw AT91_P[ABCD]_* definitions are now depreciated in favour of the GPIO API.
