asix: Rename asix.c to asix_devices.c

2012-07-17T06:26:23+00:00

This patch further creates two additional copies of asix.c. In another patch these copies will be used to factor out common code. Signed-off-by: Christian Riesch Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

asix: avoid copies in tx path

2012-07-07T23:26:56+00:00

I noticed excess calls to skb_copy_expand() or memmove() in asix driver. This driver needs to push 4 bytes in front of frame (packet_len) and maybe add 4 bytes after the end (if padlen is 4) So it should set needed_headroom & needed_tailroom to avoid copies. But its not enough, because many packets are cloned before entering asix_tx_fixup() and this driver use skb_cloned() as a lazy way to check if it can push and put additional bytes in frame. Avoid skb_copy_expand() expensive call, using following rules : - We are allowed to push 4 bytes in headroom if skb_header_cloned() is false (and if we have 4 bytes of headroom) - We are allowed to put 4 bytes at tail if skb_cloned() is false (and if we have 4 bytes of tailroom) TCP packets for example are cloned, but skb_header_release() was called in tcp stack, allowing us to use headroom for our needs.

asix: allow full size 8021Q frames to be received

2012-05-29T21:30:07+00:00

asix driver drops 8021Q full size frames because it doesn't take into account VLAN header size. Tested on AX88772 adapter. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet CC: Greg Kroah-Hartman CC: Allan Chou CC: Trond Wuellner CC: Grant Grundler CC: Paul Stewart Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.

2012-05-18T22:42:55+00:00

Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices. Comms devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished. Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state, using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their data transfer. If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of receiving data. Worse, some devices might blindly accept the hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the middle of receiving a transmission. The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host. In order to keep the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the same in Linux. Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications drivers. I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

asix: Fix tx transfer padding for full-speed USB

2012-04-24T08:11:34+00:00

The asix.c USB Ethernet driver avoids ending a tx transfer with a zero- length packet by appending a four-byte padding to transfers whose length is a multiple of maxpacket. However, the hard-coded 512 byte maxpacket length is valid for high-speed USB only; full-speed USB uses 64 byte packets. Signed-off-by: Ingo van Lil Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

asix: asix_rx_fixup surgery to reduce skb truesizes

2012-03-16T08:52:13+00:00

asix_rx_fixup() is complex, and does some unnecessary memory copies (at least on x86 where NET_IP_ALIGN is 0) Also, it tends to provide skbs with a big truesize (4096+256 with MTU=1500) to upper stack, so incoming trafic consume a lot of memory and I noticed early packet drops because we hit socket rcvbuf too fast. Switch to a different strategy, using copybreak so that we provide nice skbs to upper stack (including the NET_SKB_PAD to avoid future head reallocations in some paths) With this patch, I no longer see packets drops or tcp collapses on various tcp workload with a AX88772 adapter.

asix: fix setting custom MAC address on Asix 88178 devices

2012-01-10T22:59:48+00:00

In kernel v3.2 initialization sequence for Asix 88178 devices was changed so that hardware is reseted on every time interface is brought up (ifconfig up), instead just at USB probe time. This causes problem with setting custom MAC address to device as ax88178_reset causes reload of MAC address from EEPROM. This patch fixes the issue by rewriting MAC address at end of ax88178_reset.
