2007-02-27spidernet: separate hardware state from driver state.Linas Vepstas1-5/+11
This patch separates the hardware descriptor state from the driver descriptor state, per (old) suggestion from Ben Herrenschmidt. This compiles and boots and seems to work.

2007-02-06Spidernet remove rxramfull taskletLinas Vepstas1-1/+0
Get rid of the rxramfull tasklet, and let the NAPI poll routine deal with this situation. (The rxramfull interrupt is simply stating that the h/w has run out of room for incoming packets).

This patch adds net_ratelimit to many of the printks in order to limit extraneous warning messages (created in response to Bug 28554). This patch supercedes all previous ratelimit patches.

2007-02-06Spidernet DMA coalescingLinas Vepstas1-12/+5
The current driver code performs 512 DMA mappings of a bunch of 32-byte ring descriptor structures. This is silly, as they are all in contiguous memory. This patch changes the code to dma_map_coherent() each rx/tx ring as a whole.

2006-11-30[PATCH] spidernet: poor network performanceLinas Vepstas1-4/+4
Correct a problem seen on later kernels running the NetPIPE application. Specifically, NetPIPE would begin running very slowly at the 1533 packet size. It was determined that Spidernet slowed with an idle DMA engine.

2006-11-30[PATCH] Spidernet: remove ETH_ZLEN check in earlier patchJames K Lewis1-1/+1
In an earlier patch, code was added to pad packets that were less that ETH_ZLEN (60) bytes using the skb_pad function. This has caused hangs when accessing certain NFS mounted file systems. This patch removes the check and solves the NFS problem. The driver, with this patch, has been tested extensively. Please apply.

2006-10-11[PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet low watermark patch.Linas Vepstas1-4/+4
Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue. Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the socket buffer is made large enough. The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows. The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started. As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets. If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled, no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode. The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed packet, rather than at fixed location in the queue, the code below needs to move the flag as more packets are queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag at about 1/4 from "empty".

2006-07-17[PATCH] spidernet: rework tx queue handlingJens Osterkamp1-52/+21
With this patch TX queue descriptors are not chained per default any more. The pointer to next descriptor is set only when next descriptor is prepaired for transfer. Also the mechanism of checking wether Spider is ready has been changed: it checks not for CARDOWNED flag in status of previous descriptor but for a TXDMAENABLED flag in Spider's register.

2005-09-07[PATCH] net: add driver for the NIC on Cell BladesJens Osterkamp1-0/+469
This patch adds a driver for a new 1000 Mbit ethernet NIC. It is integrated on the south bridge that is used for our Cell Blades. The code gets the MAC address from the Open Firmware device tree, so it won't compile on platforms other than ppc64. This is the first public release, so I don't expect the first version to get merged, but I'd aim for integration within the 2.6.13 time frame.
