da6971d8ec [PATCH] S2io: Multi buffer mode support
Hi,
This patch  provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2

This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter

ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3

Please review the patch.

cc6e7c44f4 [PATCH] S2io: MSI/MSI-X support (runtime configurable)
This patch adds support for MSI/MSI-X feature to the driver.  It is
a runtime parameter(for now, loadable parameter).  Default is INTA.

Patch has been tested on IA64 platform with Xframe II adapter,
both of which support MSI-X feature.  An improvement of about 7%
in throughput(both Tx and Rx) was observed and a reduction by 7%
in CPU utilization during Tx test.

776bd20fa2 [PATCH] S2io: Hardware and miscellaneous fixes
Hi,
This patch contains the following hardware related fixes and other
miscellaneous bug fixes.

1. Updated the definition of single and double-bit ECC errors
2. Earlier we were allocating Transmit descriptors equal to
   MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This was causing a boundary condition failure.
   Need to allocate MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1 descriptors.
3. On some platforms(like PPC), pci_alloc_consistent() can return
   a zero DMA address. Since the NIC cannot handle zero-addresses,
   a workaround has been provided. Basically, we don't use such
   that page. We reallocate.
4. If list_info allocation failed during driver load, check for
   it during driver exit and return instead of trying to dereference
   NULL pointer.
5. Increase the debug level of few non-critical debug messages.
6. Reset the card on critical ECC double errors only in case of
   XframeI since XframeII can recover from such errors.
7. Print copyright message on driver load.
8. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.8.1

7ef24b69f9 [PATCH] s2io build fix
Damir Perisa <damir.perisa@solnet.ch> reports:

 drivers/net/s2io.h:765: error: invalid lvalue in assignment
 drivers/net/s2io.h:766: error: invalid lvalue in assignment

That's a gcc4 error.  I don't see why the casts are there anyway..

303bcb4b67 [PATCH] S2io: Errors found during review
Hi,
This is a patch to incorporate comments from earlier 12 patches.
It also fixes a few issues we found during this time.
Following is a list of changes in this patch. Item 1 incorporates
earlier comments. Issues addressed in items 2 to 4 were discovered
recently.

1. wmb() call in s2io_xmit() replaced with mmiowb().
2. The dtx_control register was earlier programmed incorrectly
   for Xframe II adapter.
3. As suggested by hardware team, after a reset, in case of
   Xframe II adapter, we clear certain spurious errors by
   clearing PCI-X ECC status register, "detected parity error"
   bit in PCI_STATUS register and PCI_STATUS bit in txpic_int register.
4. On IBM PPC platforms, we found that in the Rx buffer replenish
   function, two memory writes(one to the the descriptor length and
   another to the ownership) were getting reordered. This was causing
   the adapter to see the ownership transfered to it before the length
   was updated.

   One solution was to add a wmb() but since this would turnout expensive
   on some platforms if called for every descriptor, we set the ownership
   bit and other fields of '2' to 'N' Rx descriptors followed by a wmb()
   and then set the ownership of first descriptor ('1').

   Here the value 'N' is configurable by making it a module loadable
   parameter (rxsync_frequency).
   (NOTE: This parameter is a power of 2).
5. Bumped up the driver version no. to 2.0.2.1

b6e3f9828b [PATCH] S2io: Support for bimodal interrupts
Hi,
This is a patch to provide bimodal interrupt moderation support for
Xframe II adapter. Basically, in this moderation scheme, the adapter
raises a traffic interrupt if the no. of packets transmitted and/or
received reaches a programmable threshold.

541ae68f6d [PATCH] S2io: Support for Xframe II NIC
Hi,
This patch provides basic support for the Xframe II adapter.
Includes the following changes:
1. New values to program XAUI interface.
2. Print the PCI/PCI-X mode(bus frequency, width).
3. Remove EOI from reset during intialization.
4. Enable all 8 PCCs if Xframe II adapter.
5. Programs the RLDRAM size depending on the device.
(Note: RLDRAM size on XFARME-I is 64Mb whereas on XFRAME-II it's 32 Mb).
6. Enable extended(64-bit) statistics counters.
7. Program timer interrupt duration based on PCI/PCI-X clock speed.
8. Not required to save/restore PCI config space before/after reset.

This patch implements the slow-path handling functions(link
state change, hardware errors) as a timer. It is not

fe11363832 [PATCH] S2io: Performance improvements
Hi,
This patch relates to mostly performance related changes.
1. Fixed incorrect computation of PANIC level in rx_buffer_level().
2. Removed unnecessary PIOs(read/write of tx_traffic_int and
   rx_traffic_int) from interrupt handler and removed read of
   general_int_status register from xmit routine.
3. Enable two-buffer mode(for Rx path) automatically for SGI
   systems. This improves Rx performance dramatically on
   SGI systems.

7ba013ac02 [PATCH] S2io: Software fixes
Hi,
Below patch includes fixes for few purely software bugs identified
since last release.
1. Keep track and display(as part of ethtool command output) the no.
   of single-bit and double-bit ECC errors.
2. Handle race condition between intr handler and "interface down"
   routine.
3. Initial link state setting modified so that the link state displayed
   after "interface Up" is correct.
4. Fix for "Incorrect Tx packet count when TSO is enabled".
5. Disable periodic DMA of statistics and schedule one-shot DMA
   only when required.

5e25b9ddb6 [PATCH] S2io: Hardware fixes
Hi,
Below patch addresses few h/w specific issues.
1. Check for additional ownership bit on Rx path before
   starting Rx processing.
2. Enable only 4 PCCs(Per Context Controller) for Xframe I
   revisions less than 4.
3. Program Rx and Tx round robin registers depending on
   no. of rings/FIFOs.
4. Tx continous interrupts is now a loadable parameter.
5. Reset the card if we get double-bit ECC errors.
6. A soft reset of XGXS being done to force a link state change has been
   eliminated.
7. After a reset, clear "parity error detected" bit,
   PCI-X ECC status register, and PCI_STATUS bit in
   tx_pic_int register.
8. The error in the disabling allmulticast implementation has been
   rectified.
9. Leave the PCI-X parameters MMRBC, OST etc. at their
   BIOS/system defaults.

Linus Torvalds
1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
