[PATCH 0/16] Spidernet RX Misc cleanups and fixes

[Linas Vepstas]

Andrew, 

Please apply and forward upstream. This series of 16 small patches 
consist of mostly of various cleanups, a few fixes, and a clarification
of the flow of the RX side of the spidernet ethernet driver.  The 
first patch, though, is a resubmit of an old patch.

[PATCH 1/16] Spidernet DMA coalescing

[Linas Vepstas]

The current driver code performs 512 DMA mappings of a bunch of 
32-byte structures. This is silly, as they are all in contiguous 
memory. Ths patch changes the code to DMA map the entie area
with just one call.

It worries me when a patch series gets resent a few hours later.

Did anything change?

I did not resend this patch series.  However, I did receive a large 
number of MTA errors:
   <linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org>: mail forwarding loop for linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org

which might be related to what you saw.

(I also cc'ed several lists, and delivry on one of the lists may have
been delayed by a few hours??)

Please report such things to postmaster@ozlabs.org and we may be able to
do something about them ...  If you do report them, please attach the
full email with the error.

This is still wrong.  The descriptor array must be in dma_alloc_coherent
memory, not a streaming mapping.  (I also think I pointed this out a while
ago when I made dma_alloc_coherent node-aware)

spider_net_decode_one_descr() is called from
spider_net_poll() (which is the netdev->poll callback)
and also from spider_net_handle_rxram_full(). 

The rxramfull routine is called from a tasklet that
is fired off after a "RX ram full" interrupt is receved.
This interrupt is generated when the hardware runs out
of space to store incoming packets. We are seeing this
interrupt fire when the CPU is heavily loaded, and a
lot of traffic is being fired at the device.

Well, I'm not that good at kernel programming, so I guess
I did not perceive this as a "sledgehammer."  And alternative
approach is to simply ignore the rxramfull interrupt entirely,
and depend on poll() do all the work.   I'll try this shortly.

A spinlock is expensive in the fast path, which is why Jeff says it's
invasive.

How often does that interrupt happen in that case ?

A better approach is to keep the fast path (ie. poll()) lockless, and in
handle_rxram_full(), the slow path, protect against poll using
netif_disable_poll(). Though that means using a work queue, not a
tasklet, since it needs to schedule.

or you can schedule rx work from the rxramfull interrupt after setting a
"something bad happened" flag. Then, poll can check this flag and do the
right thing.

It is hard to reproduce; it is highly dependent on kernel version
and network config. It seems to occur when the system is somehow
loaded, and the tcp stack is unable to empty out the rx ring in a
timely manner. Jim is able o trigger this trivially for some kernels, 
but not others.

Yes. Actually, I am thinking of treating this interrupt as if it were
just another RX interrupt. What the original drivers seemed to want to
do was to treat this as some sort of "high priority" rx interrupt, but
there doesn't seem to be any real way of doing this, so it seems simpler
just to rip out the tasklet and leave it at that.

Yes, exactly.

and network config. It seems to occur when the system is somehow
loaded, and the tcp stack is unable to empty out the rx ring in a
timely manner. Jim is able o trigger this trivially for some kernels, 
but not others.

Yes. Actually, I am thinking of treating this interrupt as if it were
just another RX interrupt. What the original drivers seemed to want to
do was to treat this as some sort of "high priority" rx interrupt, but
there doesn't seem to be any real way of doing this, so it seems simpler
just to rip out the tasklet and leave it at that.

Yes, exactly.

[PATCH 4/16] Spidernet Refactor RX refill

[Linas Vepstas]

Refactor how spider_net_refill_rx_chain() is called. 
No functional change; this just simplifies the code
by moving the subroutine call to a more appropriate spot.

[PATCH 13/16] Spidernet Memory barrier

[Linas Vepstas]

Add memory barrier to make sure that the rest of the 
RX descriptor state is flushed to memory before we tell 
the hardware that its ready to go.

[PATCH 14/16] Spidernet Avoid possible RX chain corruption

[Linas Vepstas]

Delete possible source of chain corruption; the hardware
already knows the location of the tail, and writing it
again is likely to mess it up.

[PATCH 15/16] Spidernet RX Debugging printout

[Linas Vepstas]

Add some debugging and error printing.

The show_rx_chain() prints out the status of the rx chain,
which shows that the status of the descriptors gets
messed up after the second & subsequent RX ramfulls.

Print out contents of bad packets if error occurs.
