Most of the patches are maintenance and minor fixes only, but a few are significant and more complex: o Patch to enable IPv6 TSO for all e1000 hardware o Add support for 3 newly packaged existing silicon devices o Add a MSI interrupt servicing routine for pci-e hardware o Add dynamic interrupt moderation algorithm favouring low latency but not affecting bulk throughput traffic situations. This improves small packet performance significantly. (Summary below.) These changes are available through git. Jeff, please pull: git pull git://lost.foo-projects.org/~ahkok/git/netdev-2.6 upstream these patches are against netdev-2.6#upstream a01ad6b4b316afb7f9c48bde3590c0d6c063b1b4 Cheers, Auke --- Jesse Brandeburg : e1000: add mmiowb() for IA64 to sync tail writes e1000: Remove unneeded and unwanted memsets e1000: add queue restart counter e1000: Only set IDE for tx when we are using TIDV/TADV e1000: add dynamic generic MSI interrupt routine e1000: add dynamic itr modes Jeff Kirsher : e1000: fix VR powerdown code e1000: reorder pci-e infor struct e1000: rename ICH8 flash macros Auke Kok : e1000: whitespace changes, comments, typos e1000: Remove DISABLE_MULR debug code e1000: FIX: enable hw TSO for IPV6 e1000: Enble early receive (ERT) on 82573 e1000: simplify skb_put call. e1000: New hardware support e1000: reorder e1000_param.c e1000: increment version to 7.3.15-k2 e1000: update README for e1000 --- Documentation/networking/e1000.txt | 451 ++++++++++++++++++++------------- drivers/net/e1000/e1000.h | 17 + drivers/net/e1000/e1000_ethtool.c | 36 +- drivers/net/e1000/e1000_hw.c | 137 +++++----- drivers/net/e1000/e1000_hw.h | 90 +++--- drivers/net/e1000/e1000_main.c | 491 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- drivers/net/e1000/e1000_osdep.h | 9 drivers/net/e1000/e1000_param.c | 106 +++---- 8 files changed, 852 insertions(+), 485 deletions(-) --- Auke Kok
