2009-11-30b44: Fix wedge when using netconsole.David S. Miller
Fixes kernel bugzilla #14691 Due to the way netpoll works, it is perfectly legal to see NAPI already scheduled when new device events are pending in b44_interrupt(). So logging a message about it is wrong and in fact harmful. Based upon a patch by Andreas Mohr. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-09-16b44: the poll handler b44_poll must not enable IRQ unconditionallyDongdong Deng

2009-08-14drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()Dongdong Deng
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq() in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel instability. The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore() to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb(). Call trace: netpoll_send_skb() { -> local_irq_save(flags) ---> dev->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev) ---> spin_lock_irq() ---> spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt. ... -> local_irq_restore(flags) } Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Acked-by: Bruce Ashfield <bruce.ashfield@windriver.com> Acked-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-02-26b44: Disable device on shutdownMichael Buesch
Disable the SSB core on device shutdown. This has two advantages: 1) A clean device shutdown is always desired here, because we disable the device's global crystal in the next statement. 2) This fixes a bug where the device will come up with the enable-bit set on the next initialization (without a reboot inbetween). This causes breakage on the second initialization due to code that checks this bit (ssb_device_is_enabled() checks).

2009-01-15b44: GFP_DMA skb should not escape from driverEric Dumazet
b44 chip has some hardware limitations, that need GFP_DMA bounce buffers in some situations. In order to not deplete DMA zone, we should keep allocated GFP_DMA skb only for driver use. At rx time, we copy such skb to newly allocated skb, reusing existing copybreak infrastructure. On machines with low amount of memory, all skb meet the hardware limitation, so no copy is needed. We detect this situation using a new device flag, set to one if one GFP_DMA skb was ever allocated by b44_alloc_rx_skb(). Previously allocated skb, even outside from DMA zone will then be recycled, to have minimal impact on DMA zone use.

2009-01-11b44: fix misalignment and wasted space in rx handlingFelix Fietkau
Broadcom 4400 puts a header of configurable size (apparently needs to be at least 28 bytes) in front of received packets. When handling this, the previous code accidentally added the offset 30 *twice* for the software and once for the hardware, thereby cancelling out the IP alignment effect of the 30 byte padding and wasting an additional 30 bytes of memory per packet. This patch fixes this problem and improves routing throughput by about 30% on MIPS, where unaligned access is expensive. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This is a rewrite of the DMA API for SSB devices. This is needed, because the old (non-existing) "API" made too many bad assumptions on the API of the host-bus (PCI).

This fixes DMA on architectures where DMA is nontrivial, like PPC64. We must use the host-device's (PCI) struct device for any DMA operation instead of the SSB device. For this we add a new struct device pointer to the SSB device structure that will always point to the right device for DMAing.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.

2007-04-03b44: fix IFF_ALLMULTI handling of CAM slotsBill Helfinstine
If you set the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a b44 device, or if you join more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE multicast groups, the device will stop receiving unicast messages. This is because the __b44_set_mac_addr call sets the zeroth CAM entry to the MAC address of the device, and then the loop at line 1722 proceeds to overwrite it unless the value of i is set by the __b44_load_mcast call. However, when IFF_ALLMULTI is set, that call is bypassed, leaving i set to zero. Fixed by starting the loop at 1 to make it skip the CAM entry for the MAC address.
