Added module parameter "poll_mode_io" to support for "polling" (reduced interrupt operation). In this mode, IO completion interrupts are delayed. At the end of initiating IOs, the driver schedules for cmd completion if there are pending cmds. A timer-based interrupt has also been added to prevent IO completion from being delayed indefinitely in the case that no new IOs are initiated. Some formatting issues in resume, suspend comment block also corrected Signed-o...

How is this a change in behavior as far as this device is concerned? If we are doing BAR sizing and moving the base address around, it's going to cause problems if you try to access the device during this time whether we disable decode or not. -- Robert Hancock Saskatoon, SK, Canada To email, remove "nospam" from hancockr@nospamshaw.ca Home Page: http://www.roberthancock.com/ -

The upper bridge decode only gets disabled while we size the upper bridge's BARs.

Hi all, Only very little files use the deprecated SA_* IRQ flags in latest pull. This minimal patch series removes such macros from the tree and transfrom old code to the new IRQF_* flags. Andrew, I've grepped the whole tree to make sure that no more files than the patched ones use such deprecated macros. I hope this series won't introduce build errors.

Handle memory allocation failures when reading packets. We have to read something from the host, even if we can't allocate any memory. If we don't, the host side of the device may fill up and stop delivering interrupts because no new packets can be queued. A single sk_buff is allocated whenever an MTU is seen which is larger than any seen earlier. This is used to read packets if there is a memory allocation failure. The large MTU check is done from eth_configure, which is called when a inter...
