Some systems send SYN packets with apparently wrong RFC1323 timestamp option values [timestamp tsval=0 tsecr=0]. It might be for security reasons (http://www.secuobs.com/plugs/25220.shtml ) Linux TCP stack ignores this option and sends back a SYN+ACK packet without timestamp option, thus many TCP flows cannot use timestamps and lose some benefit of RFC1323. Other operating systems seem to not care about initial tsval value, and let tcp flows to negotiate timestamp option. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would then be cleared accidentally. Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as we turn off all interrupts now).

This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a timer irq in throughput mode. Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e 512 bytes.

This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.

This patch is only a subset of changes so that it is easier to see the modifications. This patch removes the isr 'for' loop and shifts all the logic to account for new tab spacing. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Ayaz Abdulla authored
A new optimization mode called Dynamic has been added. This will be mode where interrupt moderation logic will dynamically switch between pure throughput mode and poll based (called 'cpu') mode. Also, for newer chipsets, the timer irq is not needed for throughput mode. Secondly, since we are modifying the irqmask to change between modes, msix is not supported.

The napi poll routine has been modified to handle all interrupt events and process them accordingly. Therefore, the ISR will now only schedule the napi poll and disable all interrupts instead of just disabling rx interrupt. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

There are two tx_done routines to handle tx completion processing. Both these functions now take in a limit value and return the amount of tx completions. This will be used by a future patch to determine the total amount of work done. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch removes unnecessary overhead code. Firstly, there is no nead to mask off unwanted interrupts as we will be checking against the irqmask field anyways. Secondly, there has been no value in last few years from detecting error or unknown interrupts. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch will save the irq events in the driver's context so that the napi routine knows which interrupts have occurred. Subsequent changes will be moving all interrupt processing into the napi poll routine. Signed-off-by: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This patch removes support for msix running in conjunction with napi. There has been reported issues regarding the behaviour of irqmask and generation of interrupts by the HW when in MSIX mode. When running napi, the driver is constantly turning off/on the irqmask. For the time being, I am going to disable it until I can root cause the issue.

A number of functions in the usb_gigaset module will return -EINVAL if CONFIG_GIGASET_UNDOCREQ is not set.

Streamline dependencies and remove some obsolete or redundant comments in the Gigaset ISDN driver's Kconfig file. In particular, remove the strong warning against the GIGASET_UNDOCREQ option, as in seven years of existence, the code in question has never been reported to cause any harm.
