Re: [PATCH 4/5] r8169: more alignment for the 0x8168

This only partially helps. Many of the packets are greater than 200 bytes so copybreak doesn't apply to them. Can we assume anything about the alignment of skb->data? I think it should be 4 byte aligned, otherwise the whole NET_IP_ALIGN thing won't work. All the drivers I looked at just reserve NET_IP_ALIGN without checking the alignment first. So can you do something like set align to 0 for RTL_CFG_0 and change rtl8169_alloc_rx_skb() to: skb_reserve(skb, align ? (align - 1) & (u32)skb->data : NET_IP_ALIGN); BTW, should the alignment expression be: (((u32)skb->data + (align - 1)) & ~(align - 1)) - (u32)skb->data - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
D-Link DGE-528T (r8159) autonegotation of 1000 Mbps link does not work
Hi! I just brought two D-Link DGE-528T (uses r8159 driver) network adapters to have nice 1 Gbps home network between two computers. I have gigabit crossover cable that is connected like this Pin Connector #1 Connector #2 1white/orange white/green 2orangegreen 3white/green white/orange 4blue white/brown 5white/bluebrown 6green orange 7white/brown blue 8brown white/blue (from: http://logout.sh/computers/net/gigabit/) and when I use this cable I only get 10 Mbps connection when connected another D-Link DGE-528T. However if I connect other end of cable to Intel EtherExpress 100 Mbps card, I get 100 Mbps connection auto-negotiated OK. I can however force gigabit link on both D-Link DGE-528T using insmod ./r8169.ko media=0x10 command. And I get about 15 MiB/s transfer speed when testing with netcat and pmr[1] (without NAPI). Which I count as some kind of sucky gigabit connection. Few questions for you: Do anyone know if there some known bug in auto-negotiation with Realtek 8159 chip? (Or is that just wrong cable?) Can I force 1000 Mbps link on some other way than giving option to insmod? Using /proc or something? What kind of transfer speed you have reached with these cards? That 15 MiB/s is not what I expected. Thanks!

Weird problem with PPPoE on tap interface
Hi, I'm experiencing a pretty strange problem with kernel PPPoE on tap interfaces with a vanilla 2.6.20 kernel that prevents the PPP connection from being established: Every PPPoE session packet (that is, LCP, since it never gets to a stage where any other session data is being exchanged) is delivered to pppd twice. This can be seen from pppd's logging messages when debugging is enabled, and strace confirmed that it indeed does read() the exact same data twice in a row from the same file descriptor - even though a tcpdump on the corresponding tap interface does show each packet only once. For confirming this, I used a program with a select() loop that simply moves packets unchanged and without reordering back and forth between a "real" ethernet interface in promiscuous mode and the tap interface used by pppd. What makes this even stranger, is, that the setup works perfectly (and only a single copy of packets is delivered to pppd) if I simply replace the tap interface in pppd's config with the "real" ethernet interface that the tap interface was previously bridged to (it's an ISA NE2K clone, BTW). Finally, it also works perfectly when I use userspace rp-pppoe through the tap interface. So far, I also confirmed that in kernel space, the call to ppp_input() in drivers/net/pppoe.c is executed as many times as pppd receives a packet, so the problem must be somewhere before that. Well, I'm gonna try to find out more - but if someone with some more knowledge of the involved kernel code would be willing to help with this in some way or another, that would certainly be appreciated ;-) - if you do need any additional information, let me know ...

The users I know anything about, would be both happy and proud to contribute code to the main tree. One I know about,who has developed a very interesting "reliable bond interface" based on this API, doesn't regard his code to be up to the kernel coding standards yet, although I am trying to encourage him. Another one thinks his function is just too specialized to be of any common interest.

(Unfortunately, I don't dare to commit to this myself right now, there is too much left to be done in TIPC.)

Results nevertheless are the same. Each syscall takes some time first (noticebly more than subsequent calls), and that was a main problem for Bert. Given the high load, recvfrom() can even take tens of microseconds (although I can not provide a profile output yet, but I showed a data). So, syscall overhead itself is very small no matter which type of the CPU is used - athlon is about 300 nsec, via epia about 1.4 usec), but the whole function can take quite a lot of time. > Pavel > > -- > (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek > (cesky, pictures) > http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html -- Evgeniy Polyakov - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

natsemi: Fix detection of vanilla natsemi cards
Bob Tracy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> reported that the addition of support for Aculab E1/T1 cPCI carrier cards broke detection of vanilla natsemi cards. This patch fixes that: the problem is that the driver-specific ta in the PCI device table is an index into a second table and this had not been updated for the vanilla cards.

Adding data to SKB - odd checksum errors
Hello, I am working on an algorithm to add data from the previous skb (on the queue) to the front of the current skb. This should be beneficial for a certain kind of TCP-traffic, and I am curious as to wether it will work or not. Currently I have implemented a small algorithm to copy the data that works most of the time. It is called from write_xmit (right before the while-loop) and performs a number of checks (does the skb fit in the window, does it have enought space - mostly the same as the retrans_try_collapse-function) before it copies the data. I first "allocate" new data at the back of the skb using skb_put, and if that is succsessfull I copy the new data (using first memmove to move the old data and then memcpy), update the seq-number of this skb and calculate a new checksum. The algorithm will (currently) not work with non-linear skbs. I have pasted the code at the bottom of this mail. The weird thing about this algorithm is that something will suddenly make it go wrong/it makes something else go wrong, and the packets that I send have the wrong TCP-checksum. I have looked around the code for any counters I might have missed or similar, but I cant find any. If I have understod skb's correctly, I shouldn't have to update any counters except skb->len (which put does) since I dont expand the SKB I only use the space already reserved for it. Does anyone have any ideas to what might be wrong or can spot any errors/misunderstandings in my code? Thanks, Kristian The code: This goes into write_xmit before the loop: if(sysctl_tcp_thin_aggressive_bundling && tcp_stream_is_thin(tp)){ if(skb->prev != (struct sk_buff*) &(sk)->sk_write_queue && !(TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->flags & TCPCB_FLAG_SYN) && (skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags == 0 && skb_shinfo(skb->prev)->nr_frags == 0)){ tcp_trans_try_collapse2(sk, skb, tcp_current_mss(sk, 0)) } } This is the code that copies the data: static int tcp_trans_try_collapse2(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb, int mss_now) { struct tcp_sock *tp = tcp_sk(sk); /* Make sure that this isnt refereced by somebody else */ if(!skb_cloned(skb)){ struct sk_buff *prev_skb = skb_copy(skb->prev, GFP_ATOMIC); int skb_size = skb->len, prev_skb_size = prev_skb->len; u16 flags = TCP_SKB_CB(prev_skb)->flags; /* Since this technique currently does not support SACK, I * return -1 if the previous has been SACK'd. */ if(TCP_SKB_CB(prev_skb)->sacked & TCPCB_SACKED_ACKED){ return -1; } /* Current skb is out of window. */ if (after(TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->end_seq, tp->snd_una+tp->snd_wnd)){ return -1; } /* Punt if not enough space exists in the first SKB for * the data in the second, or the total combined payload * would exceed the MSS. */ if ((prev_skb_size > skb_tailroom(skb)) || ((skb_size + prev_skb_size) > mss_now)){ return -1; } /*To avoid duplicate copies.*/ if(TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq <= TCP_SKB_CB(prev_skb)->seq) return -1; /*First, check I have enough room*/ if(skb_tailroom(skb) < prev_skb->len) return -1; copy = skb_put(skb, prev_skb->len); if(copy){ memmove(skb->data + prev_skb->len, skb->data, skb->len - prev_skb->len); memcpy(skb->data, prev_skb->data, prev_skb->len); TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->seq = TCP_SKB_CB(prev_skb)->seq; skb->csum = csum_partial(skb->data, skb->len, 0); } __kfree_skb(prev_skb); } return 1; } - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
