  • 10343cca2   bnx2: Pre-initialize struct cpu_reg. ... Browse Code »

    Instead of assigning values for the struct cpu_reg's at runtime,
    we already know these values at compile time. Therefore, we can use
    designated initializers, to initialize these structures and not have
    to incur this assignment cost at run-time.

  • ea1f8d5c3   [BNX2]: Optimize firmware loading. ... Browse Code »

    This is a follow up to the patches from Denys Vlasenkos
    to further optimize firmware loading.

    1. In bnx2_init_cpus(), we allocate memory for decompression once
    and use it repeatedly instead of doing this for every firmware image.

    2. We eliminate the BSS and SBSS firmware sections in bnx2_fw*.h since
    these are always zeros.

  • b3448b0bd   [BNX2]: factor out gzip unpacker ... Browse Code »

    This patch modifies gzip unpacking code in bnx2 driver so that
    it does not depend on bnx2 internals. I will move this code
    out of the driver and into zlib in follow-on patch.

    It can be useful in other drivers which need to store firmwares
    or any other relatively big binary blobs - fonts, cursor bitmaps,
    whatever.

    Patch is run tested by Michael Chan (driver author).

  • 7510873d8   [BNX2]: Fix Xen problem. ... Browse Code »

    This fixes the problem of not receiving packets in the Xen bridging
    environment. The Xen script sets the device's MAC address to
    FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and puts the device in promiscuous mode. The
    firmware had problem receiving all packets in this configuration.

    New firmware and setting the PROM_VLAN bit when in promiscuous mode
    will fix this problem.

  • ade2bfe7d   [BNX2]: Fix UDP checksum verification ... Browse Code »

    Fix TCP/UDP checksum verification. Use status bits in the buffer
    descriptor instead of the checksum value to verify rx checksum.
    Using the checksum value will be incorrect if the UDP packet has
    zero in the UDP checksum field.

    Firmware update required for this fix.
