e100: Fix broken cbs accounting due to missing memset.

2010-01-06T23:04:38+00:00

commit 70abc8cb90e679d8519721e2761d8366a18212a6 upstream. Alan Stern noticed that e100 caused slab corruption. commit 98468efddb101f8a29af974101c17ba513b07be1 changed the allocation of cbs to use dma pools that don't return zeroed memory, especially the cb->status field used to track which cb to clean, causing (the visible) double freeing of skbs and a wrong free cbs count. Now the cbs are explicitly zeroed at allocation time. Reported-by: Alan Stern Tested-by: Alan Stern Signed-off-by: Roger Oksanen Acked-by: Jesse Brandeburg Signed-off-by: David S.

e100: Use pci pool to work around GFP_ATOMIC order 5 memory allocation failure

2009-11-30T01:17:29+00:00

pci_alloc_consistent uses GFP_ATOMIC allocation that may fail on some systems with limited memory (Bug #14265). pci_pool_alloc allows waiting with GFP_KERNEL. Tested-by: Karol Lewandowski Signed-off-by: Roger Oksanen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e100: e100_phy_init() isolates selected PHY, causes 10 second boot delay

2009-10-30T05:48:31+00:00

A change in how PHYs are electrically isolated caused all PHYs to be isolated followed by reverting that isolation for the selected PHY. Unfortunately, isolating the selected PHY for even a short period of time can result in DHCP negotiation taking more than 10 seconds on certain embedded configurations delaying boot time as reported by Bernhard Kaindl. This patch reverts the change to how PHYs are isolated yet still works around the issue for 82552 needing the selected PHY's BMCR register to be written after the unused PHYs are isolated. This code is moved below the setting of nic->phy ID in order to do the 82552-specific workaround. Cc: Bernhard Kaindl Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S.

headers: remove sched.h from interrupt.h

2009-10-11T18:20:58+00:00

After m68k's task_thread_info() doesn't refer to current, it's possible to remove sched.h from interrupt.h and not break m68k! Many thanks to Heiko Carstens for allowing this. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan

E100: fix interaction with swiotlb on X86.

2009-08-24T02:02:13+00:00

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Data in descriptors is accessed simultaneously by the chip (writing status and size when a packet is received) and CPU (reading to check if the packet was received). This isn't a valid usage of PCI DMA API, which requires use of the coherent (consistent) memory for such purpose. Unfortunately e100 chips working in "simplified" RX mode have to store received data directly after the descriptor. Fixing the driver to conform to the API would require using unsupported "flexible" RX mode or receiving data into a coherent memory and using CPU to copy it to network buffers. This patch, while not yet making the driver conform to the PCI DMA API, allows it to work correctly on X86 with swiotlb (while not breaking other architectures).

E100: work around the driver using streaming DMA mapping for RX descriptors.

2009-07-17T01:05:25+00:00

E100 places it's RX packet descriptors inside skb->data and uses them with bidirectional streaming DMA mapping. Unfortunately it fails to transfer skb->data ownership to the device after it reads the descriptor's status, breaking on non-coherent (e.g., ARM) platforms. This have to be converted to use coherent memory for the descriptors. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Halasa Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
