* [CRYPTO] Add support for low-level multi-block operationsHerbert Xu2005-07-063-26/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds hooks for cipher algorithms to implement multi-block ECB/CBC operations directly. This is expected to provide significant performance boots to the VIA Padlock. It could also be used for improving software implementations such as AES where operating on multiple blocks at a time may enable certain optimisations.

* [CRYPTO] Add plumbing for multi-block operationsHerbert Xu2005-07-063-95/+161
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VIA Padlock device is able to perform much better when multiple blocks are fed to it at once. As this device offers an exceptional throughput rate it is worthwhile to optimise the infrastructure specifically for it. We shift the existing page-sized fast path down to the CBC/ECB functions. We can then replace the CBC/ECB functions with functions provided by the underlying algorithm that performs the multi-block operations. As a side-effect this improves the performance of large cipher operations for all existing algorithm implementations. I've measured the gain to be around 5% for 3DES and 15% for AES.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add explicit disabling of 440GP IRQ compatibility mode when configuring 440GX interrupt controller.

* | [PATCH] ppc32: stop misusing NTP's time_offset valuejohn stultz2005-07-051-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As part of my timeofday rework, I've been looking at the NTP code and I noticed that the PPC architecture is apparently misusing the NTP's time_offset (it is a terrible name!) value as some form of timezone offset. This could cause problems when time_offset changed by the NTP code. This patch changes the PPC code so it uses a more clear local variable: timezone_offset.

* | [PATCH] ppc32: add Freescale MPC885ADS board supportAndrei Konovalov2005-07-058-16/+1550
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the Freescale MPC86xADS board support. The supported devices are SMC UART and 10Mbit ethernet on SCC1. The manual for the board says that it "is compatible with the MPC8xxFADS for software point of view". That's why this patch extends FADS instead of introducing a new platform. FEC is not supported as the "combined FCC/FEC ethernet driver" driver by Pantelis Antoniou should replace the current FEC driver.

| * [TCP]: Never TSO defer under periods of congestion.David S. Miller2005-07-051-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Congestion window recover after loss depends upon the fact that if we have a full MSS sized frame at the head of the send queue, we will send it.

| * [TCP]: Move to new TSO segmenting scheme.David S. Miller2005-07-057-240/+384
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make TSO segment transmit size decisions at send time not earlier. The basic scheme is that we try to build as large a TSO frame as possible when pulling in the user data, but the size of the TSO frame output to the card is determined at transmit time. This is guided by tp->xmit_size_goal. It is always set to a multiple of MSS and tells sendmsg/sendpage how large an SKB to try and build. Later, tcp_write_xmit() and tcp_push_one() chop up the packet if necessary and conditions warrant. These routines can also decide to "defer" in order to wait for more ACKs to arrive and thus allow larger TSO frames to be emitted. A general observation is that TSO elongates the pipe, thus requiring a larger congestion window and larger buffering especially at the sender side. Therefore, it is important that applications 1) get a large enough socket send buffer (this is accomplished by our dynamic send buffer expansion code) 2) do large enough writes.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Only put user data purely to pages when doing TSO. The extra page allocations cause two problems: 1) Add the overhead of the page allocations themselves. 2) Make us do small user copies when we get to the end of the TCP socket cache page. It is still beneficial to purely use pages for TSO, so we will do it for that case. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [TCP]: Eliminate redundant computations in tcp_write_xmit().David S. Miller2005-07-051-9/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_snd_test() is run for every packet output by a single call to tcp_write_xmit(), but this is not necessary. For one, the congestion window space needs to only be calculated one time, then used throughout the duration of the loop. This cleanup also makes experimenting with different TSO packetization schemes much easier. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [TCP]: Break out tcp_snd_test() into it's constituent parts.David S. Miller2005-07-051-38/+82
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_snd_test() does several different things, use inline functions to express this more clearly. 1) It initializes the TSO count of SKB, if necessary. 2) It performs the Nagle test. 3) It makes sure the congestion window is adhered to. 4) It makes sure SKB fits into the send window. This cleanup also sets things up so that things like the available packets in the congestion window does not need to be calculated multiple times by packet sending loops such as tcp_write_xmit().

| * [TCP]: Fix __tcp_push_pending_frames() 'nonagle' handling.David S. Miller2005-07-053-25/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'nonagle' should be passed to the tcp_snd_test() function as 'TCP_NAGLE_PUSH' if we are checking an SKB not at the tail of the write_queue. This is because Nagle does not apply to such frames since we cannot possibly tack more data onto them. However, while doing this __tcp_push_pending_frames() makes all of the packets in the write_queue use this modified 'nonagle' value. Fix the bug and simplify this function by just calling tcp_write_xmit() directly if sk_send_head is non-NULL. As a result, we can now make tcp_data_snd_check() just call tcp_push_pending_frames() instead of the specialized __tcp_data_snd_check(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [TCP]: Fix redundant calculations of tcp_current_mss()David S. Miller2005-07-052-13/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tcp_write_xmit() uses tcp_current_mss(), but some of it's callers, namely __tcp_push_pending_frames(), already has this value available already. While we're here, fix the "cur_mss" argument to be "unsigned int" instead of plain "unsigned". Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [TCP]: tcp_write_xmit() tabbing cleanupDavid S. Miller2005-07-051-34/+34

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tcp_cwnd_validate() function should only be invoked if we actually send some frames, yet __tcp_push_pending_frames() will always invoke it. tcp_write_xmit() does the call for us, so the call here can simply be removed. Also, tcp_write_xmit() can be marked static. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [TCP]: Add missing skb_header_release() call to tcp_fragment().David S. Miller2005-07-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we add any new packet to the TCP socket write queue, we must call skb_header_release() on it in order for the TSO sharing checks in the drivers to work. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We will also be able to reduce all of the redundant computation that occurs when outputting data packets. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
| * [TCP]: Fix quick-ack decrementing with TSO.David S. Miller2005-07-052-7/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On each packet output, we call tcp_dec_quickack_mode() if the ACK flag is set. It drops tp->ack.quick until it hits zero, at which time we deflate the ATO value. When doing TSO, we are emitting multiple packets with ACK set, so we should decrement tp->ack.quick that many segments. Note that, unlike this case, tcp_enter_cwr() should not take the tcp_skb_pcount(skb) into consideration. That function, one time, readjusts tp->snd_cwnd and moves into TCP_CA_CWR state.

| * [TCP]: Simplify SKB data portion allocation with NETIF_F_SG.David S. Miller2005-07-052-13/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ideal and most optimal layout for an SKB when doing scatter-gather is to put all the headers at skb->data, and all the user data in the page array. This makes SKB splitting and combining extremely simple, especially before a packet goes onto the wire the first time. So, when sk_stream_alloc_pskb() is given a zero size, make sure there is no skb_tailroom(). This is achieved by applying SKB_DATA_ALIGN() to the header length used here. Next, make select_size() in TCP output segmentation use a length of zero when NETIF_F_SG is true on the outgoing interface. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
