2009-02-15bnx2x: Supporting BCM8726 PHYEilon Greenstein
Also adding the ability to recognize the optic module and disable it if it is not authorized for safety reasons - since this feature might upset some users which are willing to take the risk, it is optional and can be disabled by setting an nvram bit (or a trivial driver patch to set this bit). This dual port PHY requires special handling if the ports are swapped. Signed-off-by: Yaniv Rosner <yanivr@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: Eilon Greenstein <eilong@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Before initializing the chip after iSCSI boot, the interrupts of the function that was used to boot must be disabled.

2009-02-15igb: use timecompare to implement hardware time stampingPatrick Ohly
Both TX and RX hardware time stamping are implemented. Due to hardware limitations it is not possible to verify reliably which packet was time stamped when multiple were pending for sending; this could be solved by only allowing one packet marked for hardware time stamping into the queue (not implemented yet). RX time stamping relies on the flag in the packet descriptor which marks packets that were time stamped. In "all packet" mode this flag is not set. TODO: also support that mode (even though it'll suffer from race conditions).

2009-02-15ip: support for TX timestamps on UDP and RAW socketsPatrick Ohly

2009-02-15net: socket infrastructure for SO_TIMESTAMPINGPatrick Ohly
The overlap with the old SO_TIMESTAMP[NS] options is handled so that time stamping in software (net_enable_timestamp()) is enabled when SO_TIMESTAMP[NS] and/or SO_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is set. It's disabled if all of these are off. Signed-off-by: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-02-15net: infrastructure for hardware time stampingPatrick Ohly
The additional per-packet information (16 bytes for time stamps, 1 byte for flags) is stored for all packets in the skb_shared_info struct. This implementation detail is hidden from users of that information via skb_* accessor functions. A separate struct resp. union is used for the additional information so that it can be stored/copied easily outside of skb_shared_info. Compared to previous implementations (reusing the tstamp field depending on the context, optional additional structures) this is the simplest solution. It does not extend sk_buff itself. TX time stamping is implemented in software if the device driver doesn't support hardware time stamping. The new semantic for hardware/software time stamping around ndo_start_xmit() is based on two assumptions about existing network device drivers which don't support hardware time stamping and know nothing about it: - they leave the new skb_shared_tx unmodified - the keep the connection to the originating socket in skb->sk alive, i.e., don't call skb_orphan() Given that skb_shared_tx is new, the first assumption is safe. The second is only true for some drivers. As a result, software TX time stamping currently works with the bnx2 driver, but not with the unmodified igb driver (the two drivers this patch series was tested with).

2009-02-15net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packetsPatrick Ohly
User space can request hardware and/or software time stamping. Reporting of the result(s) via a new control message is enabled separately for each field in the message because some of the fields may require additional computation and thus cause overhead. User space can tell the different kinds of time stamps apart and choose what suits its needs. When a TX timestamp operation is requested, the TX skb will be cloned and the clone will be time stamped (in hardware or software) and added to the socket error queue of the skb, if the skb has a socket associated with it. The actual TX timestamp will reach userspace as a RX timestamp on the cloned packet. If timestamping is requested and no timestamping is done in the device driver (potentially this may use hardware timestamping), it will be done in software after the device's start_hard_xmit routine.

2009-02-15timecompare: generic infrastructure to map between two time basesPatrick Ohly
Mapping from a struct timecounter to a time returned by functions like ktime_get_real() is implemented. This is sufficient to use this code in a network device driver which wants to support hardware time stamping and transformation of hardware time stamps to system time. The interface could have been made more versatile by not depending on a time counter, but this wasn't done to avoid writing glue code elsewhere. The method implemented here is the one used and analyzed under the name "assisted PTP" in the LCI PTP paper: http://www.linuxclustersinstitute.org/conferences/archive/2008/PDF/Ohly_92221.pdf Acked-by: John Stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick Ohly <patrick.ohly@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-02-15clocksource: allow usage independent of timekeeping.cPatrick Ohly
So far struct clocksource acted as the interface between time/timekeeping.c and hardware. This patch generalizes the concept so that a similar interface can also be used in other contexts. For that it introduces new structures and related functions *without* touching the existing struct clocksource. The reasons for adding these new structures to clocksource.[ch] are * the APIs are clearly related * struct clocksource could be cleaned up to use the new structs * avoids proliferation of files with similar names (timesource.h? timecounter.h?) As outlined in the discussion with John Stultz, this patch adds * struct cyclecounter: stateless API to hardware which counts clock cycles * struct timecounter: stateful utility code built on a cyclecounter which provides a nanosecond counter * only the function to read the nanosecond counter; deltas are used internally and not exposed to users of timecounter The code does no locking of the shared state. It must be called at least as often as the cycle counter wraps around to detect these wrap arounds. Both is the responsibility of the timecounter user.

2009-02-14e1000e: Remove mutex_trylock and associated WARN on failure.dave graham
Single-thread access must be ensured for ICH8 NVM and PHY operations. This synchronization is provided by the nvm_mutex. To assist in understanding the contexts from which this code could be reached, a WARN was output if the mutex was not going to be immediately acquirable (if !mutex_trylock()). The code has now been optimized, and we have verified that the few remaining mutex contentions are reasonable and non-blocking, and it is time to remove the mutex_trylock() and WARN messages.

2009-02-13mac80211: fix aggregation timer lockupsJohannes Berg
As far as I can tell, there are possible lockups because both the RX session_timer and TX addba_resp_timer are del_timer_sync'ed under the sta spinlock which both timer functions take. Additionally, the TX agg code seems to leak memory when TX aggregation is not disabled before the sta_info is freed. Fix this by making the free code a little smarter in the RX agg case, and actually make the sta_info_destroy code free the TX agg info in the TX agg case. We won't notify the peer, but it'll notice something is wrong anyway, and normally this only happens after we've told it in some other way we will no longer talk to it.

2009-02-13mac80211: fix race in TX aggregationJohannes Berg
