82598 can produce a formidable interrupt rate, and is largely unusable without some form of moderation. The default behaviour before this patch is to limit irq's to a reasonable number. However, just like our other drivers we can reduce latency for small packet-type traffic considerably by allowing the irq rate to go up dynamically. This patch introduces a simple irq moderation algorithm based on traffic analysis. The driver will use more CPU to service small packets quicker but will perform the same on bulk traffic as the old code.

Now that the irq vector code is in place, we can add the conditional multiqueue TX code in the driver. This requires the optional CONFIG_NETDEVICES_MULTIQUEUE=y and will not be enabled without it.

This code abstracts the per-queue MSI-X interrupt vector into a queue vector layer. This abstraction is needed since there can be many more queues than available MSI-X vectors in a machine. The MSI-X irq vectors are remapped to a shared queue vector which can point to several (both RX and TX) hardware queues. The NAPI algorithm then cleans the appropriate ring/queues on interrupt or poll. The remapping is a delicate and complex calculation to make sure that we're not unbalancing the irq load, and spreads the irqs as much as possible, and may combine RX and TX flows onto the same queue vector. This effectively enables receive flow hashing across vectors and helps irq load balance across CPUs.

- Resubmit #3 Multiqueue netwrok device support implementation. - Added a loadable parameter "multiq" to enable/disable multiqueue support, by default it is disabled. - skb->queue_mapping is not used for queue/fifo selection. FIFO selection is based on skb->priority. - Added per FIFO flags FIFO_QUEUE_START and FIFO_QUEUE_STOP. Check this flag for starting and stopping netif queue and update the flags accordingly. - In tx_intr_handler added a check to ensure that we have free TXDs before wak- ing up the queue. - Added helper functions for queue manipulation(start/stop/wakeup) to invoke appropriate netif_ functions. - Calling netif_start/stop for link up/down case respectively. - As per Andi kleen's review comments, using skb->priority field for FIFO selection.

The transmit packet descriptor consists of four 32-bit words, with word 3 upper bits overloaded depending upon the condition of its bits 3 and 4. The driver currently duplicates all word 2 and some word 3 register bit definitions unnecessarily and also uses a set of nested structures in its definition of the TPD without good cause. This patch adds a lengthy comment describing the TPD, eliminates duplicate TPD bit definitions, and simplifies the TPD structure itself. It also expands the TSO check to correctly handle custom checksum versus TSO processing using the revised TPD definitions. Finally, shorten some variable names in the transmit processing path to reduce line lengths, rename some variables to better describe their purpose (e.g., nseg versus m), and add a comment or two to better describe what the code is doing.

The L1 tx packet descriptor expects TCP Header Length to be expressed as a number of 32-bit dwords. The atl1 driver uses tcp_hdrlen() to populate the field, but tcp_hdrlen() returns the header length in bytes, not in dwords. Add a shift to convert tcp_hdrlen() to dwords when we write it to the tpd. Also, some of our bit assignments are made to the wrong tpd words. Change those to the correct words. Finally, since all this fixes TSO, enable TSO by default.

The future atl2 driver and the existing atl1 driver can share certain functions and definitions. Move these shareable functions and definitions out of atl1-specific files and into atlx.c and atlx.h. Some transitory hackery will be present until atl2 is merged. Reduce the number of source files by moving ethtool, hw, and param functions from separate files into atl1_main.c, then rename it to just atl1.c. Move all atl1-specific definitions from atl1_hw.h to atl1.h. Finally, clean up to make checkpatch.pl happy.

All the hardware supported by this driver is now supported by the skge driver.

Commit a0c1e907 added code to futex.c to detect whether futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic was implemented at run time: + curval = cmpxchg_futex_value_locked(NULL, 0, 0); + if (curval == -EFAULT) + futex_cmpxchg_enabled = 1; This is bogus on parisc, since page zero in kernel virtual space is the gateway page for syscall entry, and should not be read from the kernel.
