[PATCH] forcedeth: TSO fix for large buffers

2006-01-09T15:54:48+00:00

This contains a bug fix for large buffers. Originally, if a tx buffer to be sent was larger then the maximum size of the tx descriptor, it would overwrite other control bits. In this patch, the buffer is split over multiple descriptors. Also, the fragments are now setup in forward order.

[PATCH] forcedeth: fix random memory scribbling bug

2005-12-24T19:53:32+00:00

Two critical bugs were found in forcedeth 0.47: - TSO doesn't work. - pci_map_single() for the rx buffers is called with size==0. This bug is critical, it causes random memory corruptions on systems with an iommu. Below is a minimal fix for both bugs, for 2.6.15. TSO will be fixed properly in the next version. Tested on x86-64.

[netdrvr forcedeth] support for irq mitigation

2005-11-11T13:30:38+00:00

This patch contains support for different modes of interrupt mitigation of forcedeth. It includes changes based on Jeff's comments. Currently, the modes are changed through module parameters since ethtool does not support something similar. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla

[netdrvr forcedeth] scatter gather and segmentation offload support

2005-10-26T04:51:24+00:00

also: - eliminate use of pointless get_nvpriv() wrapper, and use netdev_priv() directly. - use NETDEV_TX_xxx return codes

forcedeth: add hardware tx checksumming

2005-09-22T03:22:10+00:00

Recent forcedeth nics support checksum offloading for tx. The attached patch, written by Ayaz Abdulla, adds the support to the driver. It also cleans up the handling of the three dma ring entry formats that are supported by the driver. Signed-off-By: Manfred Spraul Signed-off-By: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] forcedeth: Initialize link settings in every nv_open()

2005-08-19T06:12:16+00:00

R�diger found a bug in nv_open that explains some of the reports with duplex mismatches: nv_open calls nv_update_link_speed for initializing the hardware link speed registers. If current link setting matches the values in np->linkspeed and np->duplex, then the function does nothing. Usually, doing nothing is the right thing, but not in nv_open: During nv_open, the registers must be initialized because the nic was reset. The attached patch fixes that by setting np->linkspeed to an invalid value before calling nv_update_link_speed from nv_open. Signed-Off-By: Manfred Spraul Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
