Two questions:  I see change logs about NAPI going in, and then
NAPI being removed.  I assume it is removed...but maybe it will
be back soon?

Second:  Where is the patch?  I looked on kernel.org and didn't
find it.  If it's going to be there shortly, that's fine, I'll
keep checking back.

Thanks,
Ben

	Hi,

	Sorry to disturb, but it seems that kernel.org didn't pick up
2.4.20-pre1 (or I'm looking at the wrong places).

	I'm asking because I've just finished testing my IrDA update
for 2.4.20, and you've just included some useless IrDA change that
probably render my patch worthless. So, I need to check and see how
much more work I need to do (or if I should just give up).

	Regards,

	Jean

I want arguments from Davem to include NAPI. Changing the drivers is a
reason for me to _not_ want it in.

But lets see if Davem can convince me ;)

I can back out those patches if you want. Will that help you?

Well, I hope he does, and I hope it really works :)

The patch I was looking for was the pre-patch you put out.
I see it's on kernel.org now, so no problem there.

8139too needs it for flood protection.  I also have a patch for sundance 
which fixes the issue with the quad port and implements RX polling for 
flood protection.

Basically, NAPI --should not-- affect any system that is not using a 
NAPI driver.  Think of NAPI as a net driver libary -- if your driver 
doesn't use it, you don't know it's there at all.  And currently tg3 is 
the only 2.4 driver using NAPI.

NAPI saves people manually implementing polling in each driver, for 
flood and DoS protection that is needed in 2.4.  The flood ceiling is 
much lower without NAPI, due to having the CPU overhead of interrupt 
handlers.  NAPI also eliminates the need for lots of code to support all 
sorts of NIC hardware interrupt mitigation variants.

   	The second thing that bugs me is that because those patches
   pass behind my back, they won't get applied to *both* 2.4.X and
   2.5.X. Because of that, keeping 2.4.X and 2.5.X in synch is an
   exercise in futility.

This is an old topic.  If cleanups get submitted they are going
to go in.  If this means that someone has to redo a patch, that
is just a part of life.

Nobody is "above the law", sort of speak, when it comes to these
things.  Cleanups and compile warning fixes are not required to
go through the maintainer of a piece of code.

About IRDA wrt. 2.4.x vs 2.5.x, it requires a partial rewrite in 2.5.x
anyways so don't get worked up over it :)

I'd prefer to be able to read the errors too but yes.

Something is missing in the network merge:

Can you explain this further. How else do you propose to get rid of 
unmaintained-and-absolutely-hopeless-on-64bit drivers in the configuration? 
I definitely do not want to get bug reports about these not working on x86-64.

If you think CONFIG_X86_64 is too ugly, perhaps an generic CONFIG_64BIT would 
be preferable for you? I personally would prefer CONFIG_UNMAINTAINED_AND_BROKEN and telling users they are on their own when they enable it, but that is 
probably just me.

Given that one was bogus. Must have been a merge mistake on my part.

   The changes to drivers/net/tg3.c in -pre1 broke the compilation:
 ...
   /home/bunk/linux/kernel-2.4/linux-2.4.19-full/include/linux/if_vlan.h:186:
   warning: implicit declaration of function `netif_receive_skb'
   tg3.c: In function `tg3_poll':

Because Marcelo took the tg3 NAPI changes but not the NAPI
infrastructure. :-)

I'm hoping since he's decided to take the generic NAPI changes
this compile failure will go away in -pre2

I don't want a tree where every driver has seventeen lines of if IBM and
not 64bit || parisc || x86 || !x86_64 || ia64) && (!wednesdayafternoon)

Its *unmaintainable*.

The sparc64 people don't do it, the mips people don't do it, the ia64
people don't do it, wtf should you get to fill config.in with crap

The _ISA stuff makes sense, thats sensible, but the rest - when people
moan we tell em to fix the drivers.

Which issue are you referring to?
The DFE-580-doesn't-work-without-USE_IO_OPS-defined, or the
drops-packets-even-under-moderate-load? If the latter I would
be very interrested in testing that code.

I guess it would be more clear if I had said that namespace.c
in 2.4.20-pre1 was broken my the above mentioned patch, and
my patch fixes the problem...

I know.  But if you look at the source, the generic stuff is
directly including asm-ia64/efi.h, so this makes it compile.  I
agree having the generic stuff include asm-ia64 code is really
stupid, but changing that seemed far more invasive and frankly, I
don't even know what an "EFI" is, so I didn't want to mess with
it beyond making it compile per how it is currently doing things,

Not a good plan. EFI can be used on non ia64 so NULL_GUID belongs
somewhere else

Two things:
1) there is an accompanying patch to the EFI patch which adds NULL_GUID and
changes the definition of GUIDs to use the helper macro EFI_GUID to solve
endianness issues.  David Mosberger has blessed my submission of this, and
it's been in the ia64 port patch for many months.  Patch or cset:

http://domsch.com/linux/patches/gpt/linux-2.4.19-rc1-efiguidt.patch
http://domsch.com/linux/patches/gpt/linux-2.4-gpt-efiguidt.cset


2) Yes, it's ugly that fs/partitions/efi.c includes asm-ia64/efi.h to pick
up the definitions.  David told me 12-18 months ago that Linus didn't want
an include/linux/efi.h because only IA64 today uses it, even though nothing
in it is IA-64 specific - it *could* be made generic.  So, I had three
choices:
a) include asm-ia64/efi.h and comment (taken)
b) Move asm-ia64/efi.h to linux/efi.h (believed rejected)
c) Duplicate typedefs.

I'd be happy to submit a patch moving asm-ia64/efi.h into include/linux/ if
it would be accepted.

Thanks,
Matt

[PATCH] radeonfb update vs 2.4.20-pre1

[Erik Andersen]

Here is an update to the radeonfb.  This is based on a patch 
from Peter Horton that was posted to the lkml back in April
    http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0204.1/0364.html

I have been carrying this patch along in my own tree since April
and I find it a huge improvement.  Using this patch, I find that
the radeonfb is quite fast, and colors are correct.

I have updated the patch to fit into 2.4.20-pre1, fixed a few
obvious little things, and reworked the mtrr handling so it
matches the behavior of the other framebuffers.  Any chance 
we could get this into 2.4.20?

 -Erik

Re: [PATCH] radeonfb update vs 2.4.20-pre1

[Ani Joshi]

These issues are addressed (or should be) in version 0.1.5 of radeonfb
which was posted to the fbdev list a month or so ago.  I am waiting on a
few other fixes I need to get done before I send an update to Marcelo, but
rest assured this will happen in the 2.4.20 cycle.

Excellent thanks.  Is the latest and greatest posted somewhere?

Re: Linux 2.4.20-pre1

Replying to Alan Cox:

maybe but even without NULL_GUID I still need to add asm-ia64 to
KBUILD_INCLUDE_DIRS while trying to kbuild-25ify -ac (and marcelo now)

hint-hint: maybe it IS worth moving to generic include ?

hmm

I've submitted patches to David Mosberger against 2.4 and 2.5 BK current,
and the latest 2.4 ia64 port patch, which moves efi.h from include/asm-ia64
into include/linux.  This is important now that the GUID Partition Table
(GPT) code is included in the stock 2.4 and 2.5 kernels, and can be used on
non-IA64 platforms - specifically for handling really large disks.  There is
no ia64-specific code in efi.h.  David agrees that it's proper to make this
change.
 
I've asked David, as IA64 port maintainer who currently "owns" this file, to
forward these to Alan, Marcelo, DaveJ, and Linus respectively.

For the curious, the posts to linux-ia64 with patches and explanations:

For 2.5 BK-current:
https://external-lists.vasoftware.com/archives//linux-ia64/2002-August/00385
1.html
https://external-lists.vasoftware.com/archives//linux-ia64/2002-August/00385

For 2.4 BK-current and ia64-current:
https://external-lists.vasoftware.com/archives//linux-ia64/2002-August/00385

Thanks,
Matt

This broke the modular building of ftape. In -pre3:

<--  snip  -->

...
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.20-pre3/kernel/drivers/char/ftape/lowlevel/ftape.o
depmod:         i8253_lock

Alan made the following patch to fix it (already in -ac):
