      Neterion: New driver: Main entry points · 703da5a1
      Ramkrishna Vepa authored 
      This patch implements all the driver entry point functions.
- Definition of all module loadable paramters.
- Implementation of all driver entry point functions.

- Changes in this submission -
        - Fixed compilation error when enabling debug statements
        - Fixed few warnings when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is not defined
        - Removed unnecessary volatile variables
        - Removed compare_ether_addr as it causes unaligned memory access on
          the sparc64 platform.

- Changes in previous submissions -
        - As per Stephen Hemminger's comments removed the following loadable
          parameters - gro, rx_& tx max_indicate_pkts, exec_mode, rx & tx
          pause_enable, tx_steering_type and intr_type.
        - Added Device ID definition in vxge-main.h instead of
          include/linux/pci_ids.h file - Reported by David Miller
 - Incorporated following review comments from Ben Hutchings
        - NAPI is always enabled (no option to turn it OFF).
        - Loadable parameters
         rx_steering_type: This loadable option is removed.
         ring_blocks: This loadable option is removed.
         The driver default settings work well in most if not all cases.
         Another patch to configure these parameters with ethtool will be
         released in the future.
 - LRO has been deprecated in favour of GRO - Bill Fink & Dave Miller's comment
 - Fixed sparse warnings - Reported by Andi Kleen
 - Removed unused variables

      Ramkrishna Vepa authored 
      This patch takes care of Initialization and configuration steps of
Neterion Inc's X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe I/O Virtualized Server Adapter.
- Device Initialization.
- Verification and setting of device config parameters.
- Allocation of Tx FIFO and Rx Ring descriptors (DTR).
- APIs to get various type of hw stats
- APIs to configure RTS (Receive Traffic Steering)

- Changes in this submission -
        - Include vmalloc header without which a compilation error occured
          on sparc64, ppc64 and IA64 plaforms.
	- Fixed compilation warning in register_poll, write32_upper,
          write32_lower and the special write64 functions on ppc64.
        - General cleanup - removed redundant includes and defines.

- Changes in previous submissions -
        - Add readq/writeq implementation for the driver for 32 bit systems -
          reported by Dave Miller.
- Incorporated following comments from Ben Hutchings
        - Start a comment with "/**" to make it a kernel-doc comment.
        - Use prefix, "__vxge" in front of hw functions to make them globally
          unique.
        - Fixed unnecessary clearing members of *channel just before freeing
        - Use backslashes only for macro definitions and not in multi-line
          statements.
        - Used pci_find_capability instead of redefining it.
        - Used device and revision ids that are already in pdev - no need to
          read them again.
        - Used pci_save_state() and pci_restore_state() around resets.
        - Used udelay and mdelay directly instead of wrapper.
        - In __vxge_hw_device_register_poll() reset i to 0 after the
          microsecond delay loop to commence the millisecond delay loop.
        - Corrected spelling "sapper" - should be "swapper"
        - Remove too much vertical whitespace.
        - Replaced magic numbers with appropriate macros
- Incorporated following comments from Andi Kleen [andi@firstfloor.org]
        - Reduced the arguments in functions or refactored them into smaller
        functions.
        - Allocate page sized memories used in slow path with vmalloc.
        - Use asserts where necessary.
        - Use macros instead of magic numbers.
        - Use the pci layer code instead of defining own functions
        - Remove driver wrappers such as xge_hw_device_private_set().
        - Fixed sparse warnings.

      Neterion: New driver: register set - vxge-reg.h · 66d97fed
      Ramkrishna Vepa authored 
      - Complete Register map details of Neterion Inc's X3100 Series 10GbE PCIe I/O
  Virtualized Server Adapter.

- No change from previous submission.

- Changes in previous submissions -
- Incorporated following comments from Ben Hutchings
        - Use original macros for endian checks
        - Remove VXGE_OS_PLATFORM_* macros as they are unused.
        - Converted multiple bVALX macros into single with additional
          width parameter and renamed it to vxge_bVALn.
        - Using __packed instead of pragma pack(1)
        - Added a comment of the use of a hw swapper so driver code is
          portable (does not have to change the byte order for register
          access as well as dma operations) on different ENDIAN platforms.
        - Using the <linux/pci_regs.h> definitions instead of redefing them.
        - Using the PCI capabilities registers in <linux/pci_regs.h>
          instead of redefing them.

- Incorporated following fixes based on comments from Ben Hutchings
        Removed references to earlier kernel versions.
        Removed sections that are similar for all drivers -

                these parameters with ethtool will be released in the future.
        Removed ethtool support section - No need to duplicate ethtool
                docs here.
        Removed Known Issue on SUSE 9 - Doesn't apply when using a
                current kernel.
