Subject: [PATCH] Fix 8139too ring size for dreamcast/embedded
Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 08:54:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040511125405.GA14578@linux-sh.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1366 bytes --]

Presently 2.6.6 backs out the CONFIG_8139_RXBUF_IDX in favor of using a
hardcoded 8139_RXBUF_IDX (again). This seems to have been done due to
some issues occuring with 8139_RXBUF_IDX == 3, however (as the Kconfig
pointed out), we still need 8139_RXBUF_IDX == 1 in the CONFIG_SH_DREAMCAST
case.

The patch which made this change can be seen at:

http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/user=shemminger/cset@1.1371.719.67?nav=!-|index.html|stats|!+|index.html|ChangeSet@-8w

Before that, CONFIG_8139_RXBUF_IDX was set to 1 both in the CONFIG_SH_DREAMCAST
and CONFIG_EMBEDDED cases. This patch adds that back into the current 8139too.

Additionally, why remove the config option at all? Wouldn't it just be
easier to drop the range from 0 - 3 to 0 - 2 until problems with a 64K ring
size are resolved?
