* S2io: Multiqueue network device support implementationSreenivasa Honnur2008-03-172-30/+186
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Resubmit #3 Multiqueue netwrok device support implementation. - Added a loadable parameter "multiq" to enable/disable multiqueue support, by default it is disabled. - skb->queue_mapping is not used for queue/fifo selection. FIFO selection is based on skb->priority. - Added per FIFO flags FIFO_QUEUE_START and FIFO_QUEUE_STOP. Check this flag for starting and stopping netif queue and update the flags accordingly. - In tx_intr_handler added a check to ensure that we have free TXDs before wak- ing up the queue. - Added helper functions for queue manipulation(start/stop/wakeup) to invoke appropriate netif_ functions. - Calling netif_start/stop for link up/down case respectively. - As per Andi kleen's review comments, using skb->priority field for FIFO selection.

* atl1: simplify tx packet descriptorJay Cliburn2008-03-172-220/+246
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The transmit packet descriptor consists of four 32-bit words, with word 3 upper bits overloaded depending upon the condition of its bits 3 and 4. The driver currently duplicates all word 2 and some word 3 register bit definitions unnecessarily and also uses a set of nested structures in its definition of the TPD without good cause. This patch adds a lengthy comment describing the TPD, eliminates duplicate TPD bit definitions, and simplifies the TPD structure itself. It also expands the TSO check to correctly handle custom checksum versus TSO processing using the revised TPD definitions. Finally, shorten some variable names in the transmit processing path to reduce line lengths, rename some variables to better describe their purpose (e.g., nseg versus m), and add a comment or two to better describe what the code is doing.

* atl1: fix broken TSOJay Cliburn2008-03-171-18/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The L1 tx packet descriptor expects TCP Header Length to be expressed as a number of 32-bit dwords. The atl1 driver uses tcp_hdrlen() to populate the field, but tcp_hdrlen() returns the header length in bytes, not in dwords. Add a shift to convert tcp_hdrlen() to dwords when we write it to the tpd. Also, some of our bit assignments are made to the wrong tpd words. Change those to the correct words. Finally, since all this fixes TSO, enable TSO by default.

* atl1: move common functions to atlx filesJay Cliburn2008-03-179-2710/+2751
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The future atl2 driver and the existing atl1 driver can share certain functions and definitions. Move these shareable functions and definitions out of atl1-specific files and into atlx.c and atlx.h. Some transitory hackery will be present until atl2 is merged. Reduce the number of source files by moving ethtool, hw, and param functions from separate files into atl1_main.c, then rename it to just atl1.c. Move all atl1-specific definitions from atl1_hw.h to atl1.h. Finally, clean up to make checkpatch.pl happy.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 721fdf34167580ff98263c74cead8871d76936e6 introduced a subtle bug by accidently removing the "static" from iodc_dbuf. This resulted in, what appeared to be, a trap without *current set to a task. Probably the result of a trap in real mode while calling firmware. Also do other misc clean ups. Since the only input from firmware is non blocking, share iodc_dbuf between input and output, and spinlock the only callers. Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org>

* | ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD optionLinus Torvalds2008-03-157-165/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9adf8ee89e5c96a47222915c5485ac437 ("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply isn't ready. It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this shouldn't be done at all. For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this concept later if necessary.

It's also currently creating a rather ugly alignment hole in struct dst. Therefore this patch moves it from there into struct rt6_info. Above patch changes the cache line alignment, especially member __refcnt. I did a testing by adding 2 unsigned long pading before lastuse, so the 3 members, lastuse/__refcnt/__use, are moved to next cache line. The performance is recovered. I created a patch to rearrange the members in struct dst_entry. With Eric and Valdis Kletnieks's suggestion, I made finer arrangement. 1) Move tclassid under ops in case CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y. So sizeof(dst_entry)=200 no matter if CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y/n. I tested many patches on my 16-core tigerton by moving tclassid to different place. It looks like tclassid could also have impact on performance. If moving tclassid before metrics, or just don't move tclassid, the performance isn't good. So I move it behind metrics. 2) Add comments before __refcnt. On 16-core tigerton: If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=y, the result with below patch is about 18% better than the one without the patch; If CONFIG_NET_CLS_ROUTE=n, the result with below patch is about 30% better than the one without the patch. With 32bit 2.6.25-rc1 on 8-core stoakley, the new patch doesn't introduce regression. Thank Eric, Valdis, and David!

When the runtimes are very short because of some server/client ping-pong, especially in over-saturated workloads, this will cycle through all tasks trashing the cache. Reduce cache trashing by keeping dependent tasks together by running newly woken tasks first. However, by not running the leftmost task first we could starve tasks because the wakee can gain unlimited runtime. Therefore we only run the wakee if its within a small (wakeup_granularity) window of the leftmost task. This preserves fairness, but does alternate server/client task groups.
