sfc: Move the Solarflare drivers

2011-08-11T09:33:50+00:00

Moves the Solarflare drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. CC: Steve Hodgson CC: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

sfc: Don't use enums as a bitmask.

2011-05-17T21:53:22+00:00

This fixes: drivers/net/sfc/mcdi_mac.c: In function ‘efx_mcdi_set_mac’: drivers/net/sfc/mcdi_mac.c:36:2: warning: case value ‘3’ not in enumerated type ‘enum efx_fc_type’ Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sfc: Implement hardware acceleration of RFS

2011-02-17T21:00:33+00:00

Use the existing filter management functions to insert TCP/IPv4 and UDP/IPv4 4-tuple filters for Receive Flow Steering. For each channel, track how many RFS filters are being added during processing of received packets and scan the corresponding number of table entries for filters that may be reclaimed. Do this in batches to reduce lock overhead. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sfc: Add TX queues for high-priority traffic

2011-02-15T19:45:35+00:00

Implement the ndo_setup_tc() operation with 2 traffic classes. Current Solarstorm controllers do not implement TX queue priority, but they do allow queues to be 'paced' with an enforced delay between packets. Paced and unpaced queues are scheduled in round-robin within two separate hardware bins (paced queues with a large delay may be placed into a third bin temporarily, but we won't use that). If there are queues in both bins, the TX scheduler will alternate between them. If we make high-priority queues unpaced and best-effort queues paced, and high-priority queues are mostly empty, a single high-priority queue can then instantly take 50% of the packet rate regardless of how many of the best-effort queues have descriptors outstanding. We do not actually want an enforced delay between packets on best- effort queues, so we set the pace value to a reserved value that actually results in a delay of 0. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sfc: Move TX queue core queue mapping into tx.c

2011-02-15T19:45:34+00:00

efx_hard_start_xmit() needs to implement a mapping which is the inverse of tx_queue::core_txq. Move the initialisation of tx_queue::core_txq next to efx_hard_start_xmit() to make the connection more obvious. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sfc: Remove ancient support for nesting of TX stop

2010-12-10T19:53:46+00:00

Long before this driver went into mainline, it had support for multiple TX queues per port, with lockless TX enabled. Since Linux did not know anything of this, filling up any hardware TX queue would stop the core TX queue and multiple hardware TX queues could fill up before the scheduler reacted. Thus it was necessary to keep a count of how many TX queues were stopped and to wake the core TX queue only when all had free space again. The driver also previously (ab)used the per-hardware-queue stopped flag as a counter to deal with various things that can inhibit TX, but it no longer does that. Remove the per-channel tx_stop_count, tx_stop_lock and per-hardware-queue stopped count and just use the networking core queue state directly. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sfc: Remove filter table IDs from filter functions

2010-12-07T19:02:50+00:00

The separation between filter tables is largely an internal detail and it may be removed in future hardware. To prepare for that: - Merge table ID with filter index to make an opaque filter ID - Wrap efx_filter_table_clear() with a function that clears filters from both RX tables, which is all that the current caller requires Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

sfc: make functions static

2010-10-21T10:09:43+00:00

Make local functions and variable static. Do some rearrangement of the string table stuff to put it where it gets used. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
