e1000e: stop unnecessary polling when using msi-x

2009-07-02T23:49:38Z

[ Upstream commit 679e8a0f0ae3333e94b1d374d07775fce9066025 ] The last hunk of this commit: commit 12d04a3c12b420f23398b4d650127642469a60a6 Author: Alexander Duyck Date: Wed Mar 25 22:05:03 2009 +0000 e1000e: commonize tx cleanup routine to match e1000 & igb changed the logic for determining if we should call napi_complete or not at then end of a napi poll. If the NIC is using MSI-X with no work to do in ->poll, net_rx_action can just spin indefinitely on older kernels and for 2 jiffies on newer kernels since napi_complete is never called and budget isn't decremented. Discovered and verified while testing driver backport to an older kernel. Signed-off-by: Andy Gospodarek Acked-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

e1000e: fix bug in restart queue logic

2009-04-17T08:09:58Z

If the e1000e transmit cleanup inner loop exited early, then cleaned might not be true. This could cause tx hangs or other badness. Use count to track the total number of descriptors cleaned instead of basing a tx queue restart off of a temporary working state variable. This code now makes the flow the same for e1000/e1000e/igb/ixgbe Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

NET/e1000e: Fix powering off during shutdown

2009-04-16T09:15:22Z

Prevent e1000e from putting the adapter into D3 during shutdown except when we're going to power off the system, since doing that may generally cause problems with kexec to happen (such problems were observed for igb and forcedeth). For this purpose seperate e1000e_shutdown() from e1000e_suspend() and use the appropriate PCI PM callbacks in both of them. Signed-off-by: "Rafael J.

e1000/e1000: fix compile warning

2009-04-14T23:38:49Z

e1000/e1000e compile report a possible unused variable, fix that for now. Shortly after this a small refactor and bug fix will follow in the same code. Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: fix close interrupt race

2009-03-26T08:09:59Z

As noticed by Alan Cox, it is possible for e1000e to exit its interrupt handler or NAPI with interrupts enabled even when the driver is unloading or being configured administratively down. fix related to fix for: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12876 Signed-off-by: Jesse Brandeburg CC: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S.

e1000e: fix loss of multicast packets

2009-03-26T08:09:59Z

e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each time a multicast address is added. The flow goes something like 1) stack adds one multicast address 2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to driver 3) driver clears entire list in hardware 4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming process. reference with test program: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/14/5160514/thread Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program. This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle. It would still be possible for packets to be dropped while the receiver is off during reprogramming.

e1000e: commonize tx cleanup routine to match e1000 & igb

2009-03-26T08:09:58Z

This change updates the e1000e tx cleanup routine to more closely match what already exists in igb and e1000. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
