This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it
has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new
irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would
then be cleared accidentally.
Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when
scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as
we turn off all interrupts now).

This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the
number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a
timer irq in throughput mode.
Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This
drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e
512 bytes.

This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the
mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of
time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure
throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If
bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to
help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while
maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.

Commit f55c21fd9a ("forcedeth: call
restore mac addr in nv_shutdown path"), which was introduced to fix
the regression tracked at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11358 causes the
wake-on-lan mac to be reversed in the shutdown path. Apparently the
forcedeth situation is rather messy in that the mac we need to
writeback for a subsequent modprobe to work is exactly the reverse of
what is needed for proper wake-on-lan.
The following patch explains the situation in the comments and
makes the call to nv_restore_mac_addr() conditional (only called if
we are not really going for poweroff).

Bring the physical link down when the interface is down by placing the PHY
in power-down state, unless WOL is enabled. This mirrors the behavior of
other drivers including e1000 and tg3.
Without the patch, ifconfig down leaves the physical link up, which confuses
datacenter users who expect the link lights both on the NIC and the switch to
go out when they bring an interface down.
Furthermore, even though the phy is powered on, autonegotiation stops working,
so a normally gigabit link might suddenly become 100 Mbit half-duplex when the
interface goes down, and become gigabit when it comes up again.
Ayaz said:
I would not include this patch until further testing is performed. NVIDIA
MCP chips use 3rd party PHY vendors. By powering down the phy, it could
have adverse affects on certain phys.

This eliminates the following often-generated warning from my 64 bit
Opteron SMP test stand:
eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq
According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth driver has a
too-low value for max_interrupt_work. Grepping the kernel I see that
forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6).
Most are in the 20-40 range. So this patch increases this a bit, from 6
to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest
max_interrupt_work value).
My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively
whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support

However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without
extension headers.
Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets.
A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform
software checksum calculation.

This is caused by the following snippet in nv_set_settings:
netif_carrier_off(dev);
if (netif_running(dev)) {
nv_disable_irq(dev);
netif_tx_lock_bh(dev);
spin_lock(&np->lock);
/* stop engines */
nv_stop_rxtx(dev);
spin_unlock(&np->lock);
netif_tx_unlock_bh(dev);
}
Because of nv_disable_irq this is probably not really a problem
though (I guess) and replacing the spin_lock with spin_lock_irqsave
could keep interrupts disabled for a longer period of time because
of delays in nv_stop_rx and nv_stop_tx.
