596c5c9743 S2io: code Optimization of isr function
- Code Optimization of s2io_isr function.
- Isr check using per device napi variable instead of driver global.
- Reduced from 3 to 1 if condition before check for processing packet receive
  packets.
- Implemented Jeff's comment to use synchronize_irq. Removed the isr_cnt
  variable as it became redundant.
- One time de assert the interrupts by writing all F's to the general_int_mask
  register instead of de asserting by clearing the source of interrupts with
  multiple writes which causes loss of interrupts (race conditions). It is
  entirely possible that before the driver has a chance to mask the asserted
  alarm bit, another alarm/traffic interrupt bit gets asserted as well. In
  this case Herc will keep the INTA line asserted and the bridge will not
  send a new Assert_INTA message upstream.

8116f3cf4a [S2IO]: Handle and monitor all of the device errors and alarms
- Added support to poll entire set of device errors and alarams.
- A note on how device errors and alarms are handled:
- The adapter will automatically recover from uncorrectable ECC errors.
  Packets containing corrupted data will be dropped (not transmitted) or tagged
  as invalid before being passed to the host.
- The adapter cannot recover from any internal state machine errors. A state
  machine error requires a device reset.
- Any internal error that could potentially result in .store trampling.
  (undesirable PCI behaviour)is tagged as a "serious error". In such cases
  the adapter will give up its ability to be a bus master. In this situation
  the host will still be able to read internal device registers in order to
  generate an error report. A device reset is necessary to return to normal
  operation.
- In the event of a pcix data parity error, the adapter will automatically
  disable itself. Adapter_En will automatically transition from '1' to '0' and
  the adapter will enter its clean-up routine. Once the device has achieved
  quiescence, an adapter reset should be performed.
- Replaced alarm_intr_handler() with s2io_handle_errors().
- Added statistic counters to monitor the alarms.

9caab4587b S2io: Enable all the error and alarm indications
- Added support to unmask entire set of device errors and alarams.
        Alarm interrupts are generated for a myriad of purposes, ranging from
  illegal operations or requests to internal state machine errors and
  uncorrectable data corruption errors. In several cases the adapter can
  recover gracefully from unexpected events; however, in some cases, a device
  reset may be necessary. This patch handles alarms generated by all the
  blocks within the device.

  The adapter generates the following types of alarms:
        1. Link state transitions (local/remote fault) or other link-related
           problems.
        2. Problems with any device peripherals, including the EEPROM, FLASH,
           etc.
        3. Correctable ECC errors (single-bit errors) on internal data
           structures or frame data.
        4. Uncorrectable ECC errors (multi-bit errors) on internal data
           structures or frame data.
        5. State machine errors, which indicate that internal control
           structures have become corrupted.
        6. PCI related errors, including parity errors or illegal transactions.
        7. Other unexpected events.

- Implemented Jeff's review comments to use do_s2io_write_bits function to avoid
  duplicate codes.

bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
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.

44c10138fd PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revision
Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.

This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.

In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
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.

7d3d0439f5 [PATCH] S2io: Large Receive Offload (LRO) feature(v2) for Neterion (s2io) 10GbE Xframe PCI-X and PCI-E NICs
Hi,
Below is a patch for the Large Receive Offload feature.
Please review and let us know your comments.

LRO algorithm was described in an OLS 2005 presentation, located at
ftp.s2io.com
user: linuxdocs
password: HALdocs

The same ftp site has Programming Manual for Xframe-I ASIC.
LRO feature is supported on Neterion Xframe-I, Xframe-II and
Xframe-Express 10GbE NICs.

Brief description:
The Large Receive Offload(LRO) feature is a stateless offload
that is complementary to TSO feature but on the receive path.
The idea is to combine and collapse(upto 64K maximum) in the
driver, in-sequence TCP packets belonging to the same session.
It is mainly designed to improve 1500 mtu receive performance,
since Jumbo frame performance is already close to 10GbE line
rate. Some performance numbers are attached below.

Implementation details:
1. Handle packet chains from multiple sessions(current default
MAX_LRO_SESSSIONS=32).
2. Examine each packet for eligiblity to aggregate. A packet is
considered eligible if it meets all the below criteria.
  a. It is a TCP/IP packet and L2 type is not LLC or SNAP.
  b. The packet has no checksum errors(L3 and L4).
  c. There are no IP options. The only TCP option supported is timestamps.
  d. Search and locate the LRO object corresponding to this
     socket and ensure packet is in TCP sequence.
  e. It's not a special packet(SYN, FIN, RST, URG, PSH etc. flags are not set).
  f. TCP payload is non-zero(It's not a pure ACK).
  g. It's not an IP-fragmented packet.
3. If a packet is found eligible, the LRO object is updated with
   information such as next sequence number expected, current length
   of aggregated packet and so on. If not eligible or max packets
   reached, update IP and TCP headers of first packet in the chain
   and pass it up to stack.
4. The frag_list in skb structure is used to chain packets into one
   large packet.

Kernel changes required: None

Performance results:
Main focus of the initial testing was on 1500 mtu receiver, since this
is a bottleneck not covered by the existing stateless offloads.

There are couple disclaimers about the performance results below:
1. Your mileage will vary!!!! We initially concentrated on couple pci-x
2.0 platforms that are powerful enough to push 10 GbE NIC and do not
have bottlenecks other than cpu%;  testing on other platforms is still
in progress. On some lower end systems we are seeing lower gains.

2. Current LRO implementation is still (for the most part) software based,
and therefore performance potential of the feature is far from being realized.
Full hw implementation of LRO is expected in the next version of Xframe ASIC.

Performance delta(with MTU=1500) going from LRO disabled to enabled:
IBM 2-way Xeon (x366) : 3.5 to 7.1 Gbps
2-way Opteron : 4.5 to 6.1 Gbps

da6971d8ec [PATCH] S2io: Multi buffer mode support
Hi,
This patch  provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2

This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3

Please review the patch.

cc6e7c44f4 [PATCH] S2io: MSI/MSI-X support (runtime configurable)
This patch adds support for MSI/MSI-X feature to the driver.  It is
a runtime parameter(for now, loadable parameter).  Default is INTA.

Patch has been tested on IA64 platform with Xframe II adapter,
both of which support MSI-X feature.  An improvement of about 7%
in throughput(both Tx and Rx) was observed and a reduction by 7%
in CPU utilization during Tx test.

776bd20fa2 [PATCH] S2io: Hardware and miscellaneous fixes
Hi,
This patch contains the following hardware related fixes and other
miscellaneous bug fixes.

1. Updated the definition of single and double-bit ECC errors
2. Earlier we were allocating Transmit descriptors equal to
   MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This was causing a boundary condition failure.
   Need to allocate MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1 descriptors.
3. On some platforms(like PPC), pci_alloc_consistent() can return
   a zero DMA address. Since the NIC cannot handle zero-addresses,
   a workaround has been provided. Basically, we don't use such
   that page. We reallocate.
4. If list_info allocation failed during driver load, check for
   it during driver exit and return instead of trying to dereference
   NULL pointer.
5. Increase the debug level of few non-critical debug messages.
6. Reset the card on critical ECC double errors only in case of
   XframeI since XframeII can recover from such errors.
7. Print copyright message on driver load.
8. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.8.1

303bcb4b67 [PATCH] S2io: Errors found during review
Hi,
This is a patch to incorporate comments from earlier 12 patches.
It also fixes a few issues we found during this time.
Following is a list of changes in this patch. Item 1 incorporates
earlier comments. Issues addressed in items 2 to 4 were discovered
recently.

1. wmb() call in s2io_xmit() replaced with mmiowb().
2. The dtx_control register was earlier programmed incorrectly
   for Xframe II adapter.
3. As suggested by hardware team, after a reset, in case of
   Xframe II adapter, we clear certain spurious errors by
   clearing PCI-X ECC status register, "detected parity error"
   bit in PCI_STATUS register and PCI_STATUS bit in txpic_int register.
4. On IBM PPC platforms, we found that in the Rx buffer replenish
   function, two memory writes(one to the the descriptor length and
   another to the ownership) were getting reordered. This was causing
   the adapter to see the ownership transfered to it before the length
   was updated.

   One solution was to add a wmb() but since this would turnout expensive
   on some platforms if called for every descriptor, we set the ownership
   bit and other fields of '2' to 'N' Rx descriptors followed by a wmb()
   and then set the ownership of first descriptor ('1').

   Here the value 'N' is configurable by making it a module loadable
   parameter (rxsync_frequency).
   (NOTE: This parameter is a power of 2).
5. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.2.1

b6e3f9828b [PATCH] S2io: Support for bimodal interrupts
Hi,
This is a patch to provide bimodal interrupt moderation support for
Xframe II adapter. Basically, in this moderation scheme, the adapter
raises a traffic interrupt if the no. of packets transmitted and/or
received reaches a programmable threshold.
