2002-10-06 Andrew Lunn <andrew.lunn@ascom.ch> * include/devs_eth_ebsa285.inl: EBSA has the ethernet devices multiplexed onto one interrupt. This got losted when generalising the driver. 2002-05-14 Jesper Skov <jskov@redhat.com> * include/devs_eth_ebsa285.inl: Fix warnings. 2001-11-19 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> 2001-11-19 Anssi Pulkkinen <Anssi.Pulkkinen@ascom.ch> * src/if_ebsa285.c (TxMachine): The test to see if there is a new tx to start must also say "go" if the tx queue is full. Normally, if the txqueue is full, a tx will be occurring at all times - so one will complete soon, so the tx queue full flag will soon be cleared, and this condition will recover. I suspect a subtle race which effectively means a new tx is queued and fills the queue in between two tx's, so no TxDone() follows, causes the hang which we get without this extra test under high load. [CASE 106686] 2001-08-31 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> 2001-08-31 Sanjay Bisen <sanjay.bisen@ascom.ch> * src/if_ebsa285.c (TxDone): Check from prev change is moved to the logical driver. Also, we zero the key in global state before the callback - this should make no difference, but again it's good practice, and ASCOM's tests indicate a benefit for CASE 106059. 2001-08-22 Gary Thomas <gthomas@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c: printf() is no longer a part of RedBoot. Thus all programs must use diag_printf() and related functions instead. 2001-06-08 Gary Thomas <gthomas@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c (TxDone): Defensive programming: only call tx_done with new/unique key values. 2001-03-12 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c: Make device config more consistent with that used in other 82559 platforms, and fix a typo. 2001-02-20 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> 2001-02-15 Martin Buck <martin.buck@ascom.ch> * src/if_ebsa285.c: Configure i82559 not to drop oversized frames. This is required for VLAN support (because the maximum frame size including the VLAN tag is 1518 instead of 1514) and shouldn't hurt otherwise. To do this, we now always configure the chip when i82559_start is called, instead of relying on the default configuration if promiscuous mode is off. Another advantage is that we're now able to turn promiscuous mode off again after it was enabled once. 2001-01-02 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c (find_82559s_match_func): New func to match complex PCI device requirements. (pci_init_find_82559s): Use it, and the new PCI API to correctly match a disparate bunch of devices on the one board. 2000-12-21 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c (pci_init_find_82559s): Also check for the PCI device whose name is ... 0x1209; "82559ER". Thanks to Martin Buck <martin.buck@ascom.ch> for the ID for that. 2000-11-19 Gary Thomas <gthomas@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c (pci_init_find_82559s): Intel has at least two devices equivalent to the 82559. Support both (0x1229, 0x01030). 2000-10-05 Hugo Tyson <hmt@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c: Deal with device interrupts in a nested fashion - disable/restore is the semantics now, rather than unconditionally unmasking. Also go directly to the 21285 PIC's interrupt control registers to gain atomicity for these. Poll for ready received packets when acknowledging an interrupt in the tranmitting world; a race here could lose an Rx interrupt. Which doesn't matter on a busy system, but in quieter times... there will always be such a race because of the vague way the i82559's status bits reflect how it's yanking the interrupt line; you have to poll until the interrupt is gone before returning else spurious interrupt failures occur. The issue is to close the window as tightly as possible, which this change achieves at a minor cost in performance - because of the time spent polling when not required. 2000-09-11 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_poll): Only diddle the interface we were asked to. This is more correct in terms of the intent of the API, though it shouldn't really be necessary. 2000-09-06 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (pci_init_find_82559s): Add asserts and an unconditional check that the PCI window as configured matches the address and size of the pci_window region from the MLT. This is here because at present the MLT and CT cannot intercommunicate enough. The separation of the PCI window is needed because otherwise the malloc heap will eat all memory. [This is related to CR 902624-CR, "MLT needs to be configuration aware"] 2000-09-01 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * OVERVIEW: This is part of the change to the network stack to greatly reduce latencies both of (other) DSRs and of thread scheduling. All the work that the network stack *and* individual ether drivers used to do in DSRs (including alarm callbacks and data copies to/from the device memory) is moved into a "fast network thread" instead. It calls a device's "deliver" function to do the work that was previously in the DSR. This is a separate thread so that it can be set higher priority than application threads in order to minimize packet loss (depending on the driver), if required (the application threads presumed to be higher priority in turn than the network thread). A crucial consequence of this is that we are no longer locking against DSRs, so a plain mutex can be used rather than the global scheduler lock, thus simplifying all the splfoo/splx() style functions. * src/if_ebsa285.c: Minor: fix the big assert in i82559_send() which suffered a race condition when called from the fast thread rather than from a DSR. Major: Add a "deliver" entry to the interface record for the "fast thread" implementation of the network internal comms system. Provide a pass-up DSR to the logical ether driver's DSR and appropriate delivery routine(s). i82559_poll() now calls i82559_deliver() rather than the DSR. Add valid data for mux'd DSR to pass on up. 2000-09-01 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * tests/test_net_realtime.h: Tighten up the latency requirements by a factor of 5; it all seems happy, so committed. 2000-08-25 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_ioctl): A little further diddling; have a bool to say whether the dot3 info is filled in. 2000-08-24 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Do not export a symbol for the device info file (include/ebsa285_info.h) since nobody needs (portably) to include it now. * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_ioctl): Handle new ioctl calls ETH_DRV_GET_IF_STATS_UD and ETH_DRV_GET_IF_STATS to get loads of statistical information out. _UD means update. The nonUD one can be used instead mostly, if we find the performance hit too large. This should allow SNMP (a) to not explode, (b) to get useful info out of other device implementations than this one. * include/ebsa285_info.h: Remove all the macro cruft for feature detecting of lots of individual statistics; we now just have a catch-all struct that SNMP uses, defined in the common ether driver environment. 2000-08-15 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (PacketRxReady): Put back the check for very small packets into the driver; the layer above checks for that (defensive programming) but only *after* asserting that the size is large enough, to help detect that scenario from other drivers. I believe we only have struct ether_header available if CYGPKG_NET but I could be wrong. [CASE 104353] 2000-08-08 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (eth_set_promiscuous_mode): - ccs->config_bytes[18]=0x70; + ccs->config_bytes[18]=0x72; // Keep the Padding Enable bit ...otherwise short frame sends don't work in promisc mode. [CASE 104289] 2000-08-07 Gary Thomas <gthomas@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c (pciwindow_mem_alloc): Take out very noisy debug. 2000-08-03 Gary Thomas <gthomas@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c: Changes for stand-alone mode. * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Ethernet driver package hierarchy changed. Add option to control number of interfaces. 2000-07-28 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (PacketRxReady): Do not attempt to forward short packets; eth_drv.c assumes there is at least a header there. (i82559_recv): Also be more careful and ASSERTive about -ve buffer sizes; be more defensive about sglists. [CASE 104206] 2000-07-26 Gary Thomas <gthomas@redhat.com> * src/if_ebsa285.c: Update for new eth_drv interfaces. 2000-07-18 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_poll): Fill in the flesh of this, it just calls ISR and DSR repeatedly. (i82559_start): Look in the device record for promiscuous mode flag; it should be passed though the common layer, but it's not [yet] - this change from Andrew Lunn/ASCOM. Also a fix and delay to the promisc mode code per se. 2000-07-17 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_poll): New function, just to fill in the interface record; not used. 2000-06-27 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Add sesquipedalian option CYGDBG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_EBSA285_KEEP_82559_STATISTICS in (now) component CYGDBG_DEVS_ETH_ARM_EBSA285_KEEP_STATISTICS to control keeping (well, harvesting really) the i82559's internal stats. Reputedly, it doesn't service the net whilst this is happening, so it could be viewed a bad thing. Hence the option. * include/ebsa285_info.h: Only describe the I82559_COUNTERS i82559_counters[2]; structs if full stats are to be kept. * src/if_ebsa285.c (update_statistics): Only include this if full stats are to be kept. 2000-06-27 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (ResetRxRing): Re-do the management of the RxRing; have an end-of-list flag (EL) in the last entry, and as you unload filled slots, drag it round after you. 2000-06-14 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Add option to control statistics keeping. * include/ebsa285_info.h: Act on it. 2000-06-13 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Properly include the new header file and define symbols to allow client code to get at it without knowing the particular device driver name. * include/ebsa285_info.h: New file: export various statistics information about the driver for use by monitoring and network-management systems. This requires exposing the (otherwise) internal structures of the driver. * src/if_ebsa285.c: remove a lot of structure definitions &c that are now necessarily in the new header; add a couple of new routines which provide status and update statistics from the device into memory; tidy up control of whether stats-keeping is enabled. 2000-06-06 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl (define_proc): Add #define of CYGDAT_DEVS_ETH_DESCRIPTION in the config file for information. 2000-05-12 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * tests/test_net_realtime.h (tnr_print_activity): New routine to check the system is working, tidied up the API. It works! 2000-05-11 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Added export of the test header below, and config opts for controlling EEPROM writing and all the status chatter as the device starts up. * src/if_ebsa285.c: Reworked the code for reading and setting the EEPROM that holds the MAC address. This is very ugly, but now more reliable. Also tidied up printing cruft with neater configury, and made it an option (for safety) whether it's possible to write the EEPROM at all. * tests/test_net_realtime.h: New file - it is intended to be used by networking tests to verify that latency is not compromised by the stack and driver. It's very platform specific, hence the location in here. This is a preliminary version only. 2000-04-27 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c: A serious re-write. This cuts out a lot of code from the old version and improves the performance greatly. The cruft was mainly doing lots of explicit event communication between the ISR and DSR, when in fact all the state needed is present in the tx/rx rings. So both ISRs and DSRs regard their call as an opportunity to progress everything they can, rather than only dealing with one interrupt cause at a time; the connection between them is now rather looser. Interrups can now be re-enabled after the ISR (in other words they are not masked in the ISR), no need to wait for the DSR, but in consequence some DSR code must mask/unmask intrs as it works. The 82559 appears to be a little slow in reacting to commands and state changes, so some interrupts were being lost - or persisting beyond their desired life - so there's some kinda polling code to deal with that also. We also rely on the foreground to kind of poll in the same way, in the send/can_send calls - we know the stack will re-try if necessary, though this is rare. The driver now works (albeit at much reduced performance) with as few as 6 rx and tx buffers - in other words the "queue full/out of rx buffers" states have been tested and all is well. It works generally fine with 8 buffers of each kind. The mux ISR and DSR are now rather more polled than the old versions; we just try to do things with both devices (if active) by simply calling each unitary ISR/DSR respectively. I also re-ordered some of the code, moving utilities to the end of the file and grouping together Tx and Rx machines a bit better. 2000-04-13 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c: Attribution to Ron Spence, Pacific Softworks added as a contributor. 2000-04-07 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * ecos.db: Re-organize device packages. This is a massive change involving deleting all the sources for serial and ethernet drivers from where they used to live in packages/io/serial/current/src/ARCH/PLATFORM.[ch] packages/net/drivers/eth/PLATFORM/current/src/... and reinstating them in packages/devs/serial/ARCH/PLATFORM/current/src/... packages/devs/eth/ARCH/PLATFORM/current/src/... All these new packages are properly defined in ecos.db, and are all of type "hardware" so that a "target" can grab them. This directory layout is descriptive of the devices we have right now, arch and platform are separate levels just to make it easier to navigate in the filesystem and similar to the HAL structure in the filesystem. It is *not* prescriptive of future work; for example, the mythical common highly-portable 16550 serial driver which works on many targets would be called "devs/serial/s16550/current", or a serial device for a particular board (cogent springs to mind) that can work with different CPUs fitted is "devs/serial/cogent/current". Changelogs have been preserved and replicated over all the new packages, so that no history is lost. The contents of individual source files are unchanged; they build in just the same emvironment except for a very few cases where the config file name changed in this movement. Targets in ecos.db have been redefined to bring in all relevant hardware packages including net and serial drivers (but the newly included packages are only active if their desired parent is available.) The names of CDL options (and their #defines of course) stay the same for the serial drivers, for backward compatibility. * templates/*/current.ect: these have had CYGPKG_IO_SERIAL added rather than it being in (almost) all target definitions. 2000-03-29 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_recv): Be happy with NULLs in the SGlist; it means the caller is out of memory so drop the packet on the floor. Also remove a completely redundant test. 2000-03-06 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (i82559_can_send): Update net driver to new interface style. This is incomplete wrt promiscuous mode, but that's probably about all. 2000-02-14 Gary Thomas <gthomas@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Update CDL to indicate multiple interface support. 2000-02-14 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (pci_init_find_82559s): Tidy comments somewhat and set debug and stats collecting defines to most friendly settings. 2000-02-10 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c (PacketRxReady): Fix bug; current descriptor was not being write back for the callback to use. Hence asserts on state of rfd were firing in busy times - that leading rfd had already been drained. Also rationalized meaning of DEBUG printy symbols a bit - it's now chatty during startup/foreground manipulations but not in any performance related activities ie. rx or tx. 2000-02-09 John Dallaway <jld@cygnus.co.uk> * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: Reparent under CYGPKG_NET_ETH_DRIVERS and tidy display strings. 2000-02-08 Hugo Tyson <hmt@cygnus.co.uk> * src/if_ebsa285.c: New File. * cdl/ebsa285_eth_drivers.cdl: New File. Initial Checkin of EBSA285 Ethernet driver. It's one monolithic file at present, and should be split up into a more generic Intel 82559 driver plus platform-specific parts (PCI et al) plus eCos/Red-Hat-BSD-stack parts. //=========================================================================== // ####GPLCOPYRIGHTBEGIN#### // ------------------------------------------- // This file is part of eCos, the Embedded Configurable Operating System. // Copyright (C) 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. // // This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify // it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by // the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 or (at your option) any // later version. // // This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but // WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of // MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
