[PATCH] forcedeth: Disable INTx when enabling MSI in forcedeth

2006-12-17T00:20:48+00:00

At least some nforce cards continue to send legacy interrupts when MSI is enabled, and these interrupts are treated as unhandled by the kernel. This patch disables legacy interrupts explicitly when enabling MSI mode. The correct fix is to change the MSI infrastructure to disable legacy interrupts when enabling MSI, but this is potentially risky if the device isn't PCI-2.3 or is quirky, so the correct fix is going into mainline, while patches like this one go into -stable. Legend has it that it is most correct to disable legacy interrupts before enabling MSI, but the mainline patch does it in the other order, and this patch is "obviously" the same as mainline.

[NET] gso: Add skb_is_gso

2006-07-08T20:34:32+00:00

This patch adds the wrapper function skb_is_gso which can be used instead of directly testing skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_size. This makes things a little nicer and allows us to change the primary key for indicating whether an skb is GSO (if we ever want to do that). Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[PATCH] lockdep: annotate forcedeth.c disable_irq()

2006-07-03T22:27:10+00:00

nv_do_nic_poll() is called from timer softirqs, which has interrupts enabled, but np->lock might also be taken by some other interrupt context. The driver does disable_irq() to get around this problem, so annotate the disable_irq()/enable_irq() calls for lockdep. Has no effect on non-lockdep kernels.

[NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff

2006-06-23T09:07:29+00:00

Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP). So let's merge them. They were used to tell the protocol of a packet. This function has been subsumed by the new gso_type field. This is essentially a set of netdev feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific skb. As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features field. I've made gso_type a conjunction. The idea is that you have a base type (e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features. For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN. All TSO packets with CWR set would have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4. This means that only the CWR packets need to be emulated in software. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[FORCEDETH] Fix xmit_lock/netif_tx_lock after merge

2006-06-21T00:57:28+00:00

There has been an update to the forcedeth driver that added a few new uses of xmit_lock which is no longer meant to be used directly. This patch replaces them with netif_tx_lock_bh. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
