Subject: [PATCH v6 net-next 00/10] API set for HW Buffer management
Hi,
This is the sixth version of the API set for HW Buffer management (that was
initially submitted here:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2125152).
This version is just a rebasing onto the last net-next. I also added
the Tested-by flag from Sebastian Careba : "The patch set applies
successfully and it works well, no more Samba issues any longer".
For the record in the previous versions I made the following changes:
v4 -> v5:
- Add a field with the size of the buffer of the pool was added. It
then allow to fix some misused size in the mvneta_bm code when using
the new framework.
- Add a new patch from Marcin for sram allowing to require
non-bufferable access to the memory. It was needed for the hardware
buffer management of the mvneta.
- Fix the build issue notified by the 0-day builder when building the
drivers as module.
v3 -> v4
- Fix build issue when HWBM is not selected
v2 -> v3
- Make a HWBM and a SWBM version of the mvneta_rx() function in order
to reduce the the conditional code. Kept a condition inside the
mvneta_poll because specializing this function would have means
duplicating 95% of the code.
- Put back the register_netdev() call at the end of the mvneta_probe()
function. In order to have a unique ID for each port, just used a
global variable in the driver.
- Added a fix from Marcin in the "net: mvneta: bm: add support for
hardware buffer management" patch: "when dropping packets, only
buffer pointers passed from BM to descriptors have to be returned to
the pool. In submitted version after closing the port and
mvneta_rxq_deinit(), it was very likely that a lot of fake buffers
are added to the pool, because all descriptors took part in
iteration."
- Removed the select MVNETA_BM from the Kconfig, it will let the user
the choice to use not use it if they want.
v1 -> v2
- The hardware buffer management helpers are no more built by default
and now depend on a hidden config symbol which has to be selected
by the driver if needed
- The hwbm_pool_refill() and hwbm_pool_add() now receive a gfp_t as
argument allowing the caller to specify the flag it needs.
- buf_num is now tested to ensure there is no wrapping
- A spinlock has been added to protect the hwbm_pool_add() function in
SMP or irq context.
- used pr_warn instead of pr_debug in case of errors.
- fixed the mvneta implementation by returning the buffer to the pool
at various place instead of ignoring it.
- Squashed "bus: mvenus-mbus: Fix size test for
mvebu_mbus_get_dram_win_info" into bus: mvebu-mbus: provide api for
obtaining IO and DRAM window information.
- Added my signed-otf-by on all the patches as submitter of the series.
- Renamed the dts patches with the pattern "ARM: dts: platform:"
- Removed the patch "ARM: mvebu: enable SRAM support in
mvebu_v7_defconfig" of this series and already applied it
- Modified the order of the patches.
In order to ease the test the branch mvneta-BM-framework-v6 is
available at git@...hub.com:MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public.git.
Thanks,
Gregory
