  • bea3348ee   [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects. ... Browse Code »
    44

    Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
    device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
    queues.

    In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
    structure representing the poll is independant from the net
    device itself.

    The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

    int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

    to

    int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

    The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
    the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
    abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
    dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
    caller upon return.

    The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
    structures.

    Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
    instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
    napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
    only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
    it may have per-device.

    With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
    Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

    Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
    Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

    [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted. Integrated
    Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
    handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues. -DaveM ]

  • 632155e65   potential parse error in ifdef ... Browse Code »

    I have made a tool to parse the kernel that does not pre-process the
    source. That means that my parser tries to parse all the code, including
    code in the #else branch or code that is not often compiled because the
    driver is not very used (or not used at all). So, my parser sometimes
    reports parse error not originally detected by gcc. Here is my (first)
    patch.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
