- Allow multiple functions with INTA.
- Removed the condition to allow only one vpath with INTA
- Ensure that the alarm bit in titan_mask_all_int register is cleared when
driver exits.

This patch implements prefetching of skb->data from a copy of the pointer
in the descriptor (which is already in the L1 cache at this point). This
improves netperf rx performance (netperf -L 0,0 -c -H 192.168.254.2 -- -M
131072 -m 131072) by 4.9% on a P4 Xeon host.

This patch fixes a case in the transmit completion code which was resulting
in pktgen hanging at the end of a run. The cause is due to the fact that
the ->cb[] area of an skb cannot be used in a network driver's transmit
path, as that area belongs to the network protocol. Pktgen hangs, as it
sends out the same packet multiple times, and vxge's use of this area of
the skb for a temporary list can only add the packet to the temporary list
once (while it may be on the queue many times). The fix is to remove this
abuse of skb->cb[]. Instead, skb pointers are placed into a temporary
stack array, and then free outside of the tx lock. This retains the smp
optimization of doing dev_kfree_skb() outside of the tx lock.

- Disable fcs stripping. The minimum frame size that can be received by the
hardware is 57 Bytes. A 64 Byte Ethernet frame with the vlan tag and fcs
stripped will result in a 56 Byte frame which will lock up the receive
engine. The work around is to disable fcs stripping in the hardware which
is done with a firmware upgrade. The fixes are -
1. Ensure that the correct firmware version is used.
2. Decrement the indicated packet length of the receive packet by 4 bytes
(FCS length).

- Fixes in isr routine
Fixed crash with INTA mode during driver unload. Pass hldev to request_irq
instead of vdev.
Fixed Traffic failure with GRO in INTA mode. Pass the correct napi
context to gro functions.

This patch implements all the driver entry point functions.
- Definition of all module loadable paramters.
- Implementation of all driver entry point functions.
- Changes in this submission -
- Fixed compilation error when enabling debug statements
- Fixed few warnings when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is not defined
- Removed unnecessary volatile variables
- Removed compare_ether_addr as it causes unaligned memory access on
the sparc64 platform.
- Changes in previous submissions -
- As per Stephen Hemminger's comments removed the following loadable
parameters - gro, rx_& tx max_indicate_pkts, exec_mode, rx & tx
pause_enable, tx_steering_type and intr_type.
- Added Device ID definition in vxge-main.h instead of
include/linux/pci_ids.h file - Reported by David Miller
- Incorporated following review comments from Ben Hutchings
- NAPI is always enabled (no option to turn it OFF).
- Loadable parameters
rx_steering_type: This loadable option is removed.
ring_blocks: This loadable option is removed.
The driver default settings work well in most if not all cases.
Another patch to configure these parameters with ethtool will be
released in the future.
- LRO has been deprecated in favour of GRO - Bill Fink & Dave Miller's comment
- Fixed sparse warnings - Reported by Andi Kleen
- Removed unused variables
