intel: Move the Intel wired LAN drivers

2011-08-11T03:03:27+00:00

Moves the Intel wired LAN drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ and the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

ixgbe: convert to ndo_fix_features

2011-07-22T05:57:38+00:00

Private rx_csum flags are now duplicate of netdev->features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM. We remove those duplicates and now use the net_device_ops ndo_set_features. This was based on the original patch submitted by Michal Miroslaw . I also removed the special case not requiring a reset for X540 hardware. It is needed just as it is in 82599 hardware.

ixgbe: Pass staterr instead of re-reading status and error bits from descriptor

2011-07-22T05:56:37+00:00

This change is meant to address possible race conditions from the status and error bits on the RX descriptors being re-read by multiple functions in the RX cleanup path. To resolve this I have added code that will pass the staterr value to those functions. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Tested-by: Ross Brattain Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

ixgbe: Move interrupt related values out of ring and into q_vector

2011-07-22T05:56:17+00:00

This change moves work_limit, total_packets, and total_bytes into the ring container struct of the q_vector. The advantage of this is that it should reduce the size of memory used in the event of multiple rings being assigned to a single q_vector. In addition it should help to reduce the total workload for calculating itr since now total_packets and total_bytes will be the total work done of the interrupt instead of for the ring.

ixgbe: add structure for containing RX/TX rings to q_vector

2011-07-22T05:55:56+00:00

This patch adds support for a ring container structure to be used within the q_vector. The basic idea is to provide a means of separating the RX and TX rings while maintaining a common structure for their containment. The advantage to this is that later we should be able to pass this structure to the update_itr functions without needing to pass individual rings.

ixgbe: Update method used for determining descriptor count for an skb

2011-06-25T07:06:51+00:00

This patch updates the current methods used for determining if we have enough space to transmit a given skb. The current method is quite wasteful as it has us go through and determine how each page is going to be broken up. That only needs to be done if pages are larger than our maximum data per TXD. As such I have wrapped that in a page size check. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

ixgbe: Add one function that handles most of context descriptor setup

2011-06-25T07:06:05+00:00

There is a significant amount of shared functionality between the checksum and TSO offload configuration that is shared in regards to how they setup the context descriptors. Since so much of the functionality is shared it makes sense to move the shared functionality into a single function and just call that function from the two context descriptor specific routines.

ixgbe: Convert IXGBE_DESC_UNUSED from macro to static inline function

2011-06-25T07:04:32+00:00

This change is a minor cleanup that converts the IXGBE_DESC_UNUSED macro into a static inline function just for the case of the code being a bit cleaner. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

ixgbe: add support for displaying ntuple filters via the nfc interface

2011-06-24T05:45:05+00:00

This code adds support for displaying the filters that were added via the nfc interface. This is primarily to test the interface for now, but I am also looking into the feasibility of moving all of the ntuple filter code in ixgbe over to the nfc interface since it seems to be better implemented.

ixgbe: update perfect filter framework to support retaining filters

2011-06-24T05:44:16+00:00

This change is meant to update the internal framework of ixgbe so that perfect filters can be stored and tracked via software. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Tested-by: Ross Brattain Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher
