* Staging: Octeon: Free transmit SKBs in a timely mannerDavid Daney2010-02-271-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we wait for the once-per-second cleanup to free transmit SKBs, sockets with small transmit buffer sizes might spend most of their time blocked waiting for the cleanup. Normally we do a cleanup for each transmitted packet. We add a watchdog type timer so that we also schedule a timeout for 150uS after a packet is transmitted. The watchdog is reset for each transmitted packet, so for high packet rates, it never expires. At these high rates, the cleanups are done for each packet so the extra watchdog initiated cleanups are neither needed nor triggered.

* Staging: Octeon Ethernet: Convert to NAPI.David Daney2010-02-271-18/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the driver to be a reasonably well behaved NAPI citizen. There is one NAPI instance per CPU shared between all input ports. As receive backlog increases, NAPI is scheduled on additional CPUs. Receive buffer refill code factored out so it can also be called from the periodic timer. This is needed to recover from temporary buffer starvation conditions.

* Staging: octeon-ethernet: Fix race freeing transmit buffers.David Daney2009-06-241-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing code had the following race: Thread-1 Thread-2 inc/read in_use inc/read in_use inc tx_free_list[qos].len inc tx_free_list[qos].len The actual in_use value was incremented twice, but thread-1 is going to free memory based on its stale value, and will free one too many times. The result is that memory is freed back to the kernel while its packet is still in the transmit buffer. If the memory is overwritten before it is transmitted, the hardware will put a valid checksum on it and send it out (just like it does with good packets). If by chance the TCP flags are clobbered but not the addresses or ports, the result can be a broken TCP stream. The fix is to track the number of freed packets in a single location (a Fetch-and-Add Unit register). That way it can never get out of sync with itself. We try to free up to MAX_SKB_TO_FREE (currently 10) buffers at a time. If fewer are available we adjust the free count with the difference. The action of claiming buffers to free is atomic so two threads cannot claim the same buffers. Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
* Staging: Add octeon-ethernet driver files.David Daney2009-06-171-0/+134
The octeon-ethernet driver supports the sgmii, rgmii, spi, and xaui ports present on the Cavium OCTEON family of SOCs. These SOCs are multi-core mips64 processors with existing support over in arch/mips. The driver files can be categorized into three basic groups: 1) Register definitions, these are named cvmx-*-defs.h 2) Main driver code, these have names that don't start cvmx-. 3) Interface specific functions and other utility code, names starting with cvmx- Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
