The patch titled forcedeth: improve NAPI logic has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was forcedeth-improve-napi-logic.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: forcedeth: improve NAPI logic From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Another forcedeth.c thing: i noticed that its NAPI handler does not do tx-ring processing. The patch below implements this - tested on DESC_VER_2 hardware, with CONFIG_FORCEDETH_NAPI=y. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxx> Cc: Ayaz Abdulla <aabdulla@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Auke said: the patch needs to be improved. The following needs to be done when NAPI is enabled: - remove the tx handling within the ISRs - mask off the tx interrupts within the ISRs that handle tx processing - re-enable tx interrupts within the NAPI handler - add tx handling within the NAPI handler (this patch covers it) Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/forcedeth.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff -puN drivers/net/forcedeth.c~forcedeth-improve-napi-logic drivers/net/forcedeth.c --- a/drivers/net/forcedeth.c~forcedeth-improve-napi-logic +++ a/drivers/net/forcedeth.c @@ -3111,9 +3111,17 @@ static int nv_napi_poll(struct net_devic int retcode; if (np->desc_ver == DESC_VER_1 || np->desc_ver == DESC_VER_2) { + spin_lock_irqsave(&np->lock, flags); + nv_tx_done(dev); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&np->lock, flags); + pkts = nv_rx_process(dev, limit); retcode = nv_alloc_rx(dev); } else { + spin_lock_irqsave(&np->lock, flags); + nv_tx_done_optimized(dev, np->tx_ring_size); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&np->lock, flags); + pkts = nv_rx_process_optimized(dev, limit); retcode = nv_alloc_rx_optimized(dev); } _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from mingo@xxxxxxx are origin.patch use-defines-in-sys_getpriority-sys_setpriority.patch forcedeth-improve-napi-logic.patch only-allow-nonlinear-vmas-for-ram-backed-filesystems.patch freezer-add-try_to_freeze-calls-to-all-kernel-threads.patch introduce-freezer-flags-rev-2.patch cpuset-remove-sched-domain-hooks-from-cpusets.patch introduce-write_trylock_irqsave.patch use-write_trylock_irqsave-in-ptrace_attach.patch sched-add-above-background-load-function.patch mm-implement-swap-prefetching.patch timer_stats-slimmed-down-using-statistics-infrastucture.patch detect-atomic-counter-underflows.patch make-frame_pointer-default=y.patch mutex-subsystem-synchro-test-module.patch vdso-print-fatal-signals.patch vdso-improve-print_fatal_signals-support-by-adding-memory-maps.patch vdso-print-fatal-signals-use-ctl_unnumbered.patch lockdep-show-held-locks-when-showing-a-stackdump.patch kmap_atomic-debugging.patch random-warning-squishes.patch - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
