The Network Coprocessor (NetCP) is a hardware accelerator that
processes
Ethernet packets. NetCP has a gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with
a ethernet
switch sub-module to send and receive packets. NetCP also includes
a packet
accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification operations
such as
header matching, and packet modification operations such as checksum
generation. NetCP can also optionally include a Security
Accelerator(SA)
capable of performing IPSec operations on ingress/egress packets.
Keystone SoC's also have a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which
includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and
1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port.
Both GBE and XGBE network processors supported using common
driver. It
is also designed to handle future variants of NetCP.
Series applied to net-next, thanks.
David,
Thanks a lot for applying this series. This helps us move forward to
work on the next set of patches.
Hi Murali,
Building an ARM 'allmodconfig' kernel now runs into two separate
problems
from your driver:
- you have two module_init() instances in one module, which conflict.
- you have two files that are linked into more than one module, so
building
both TI_CPSW and TI_KEYSTONE_NETCP in the same kernel fails.
The answer to both of these is probably to have separate loadable
modules,
but you might be able to come up with a different solution.
Arnd,
Thanks for letting us know. We will look into this.
How do I reproduce this? Is there a defconfig used for allmodconfig? I
am unable to find one. Any details to reproduce this will be useful.
Ok I think I found it.
I did this with next-next branch and it seems to work. I will make
kernel build to reproduce this.
make ARCH=arm allmodconfig
make uImage;
I am building it now.
Arnd,
I see allmodconfig configure NetCP driver as module. My uImage build
from net-next branch went through fine. I am building modules right now
and should show error as you have pointed out. Let me know if you any
issues on how I am working to reproduce the issue (wrong branch, wrong
/incomplete commands etc. I have my CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH set in my
env). Want to reproduce this so as to make sure my fix is addressing
this. Hope I am on the right track.
Thanks
