hi,
This patch contains all the changes that were done to improve
performance of s2io driver. one line description of the changes
are
1. For Non NAPI case the rx interrupt handler is being called
unconditionally
2. code optimization and adding prefetch skb->data
3. Remove modulo operations in fast path
4. Enable Group Reads and set backoff interval to 0x1000
5. correct PIC_CNTL_SHARED_SPLITS macro definition, and reduce
pause parameter
6. Corrected logic of identifying rx buffer level in rx_buffer_level()
7. fix DMA map and unmap done with different sizes in 1-buf mode
8. Removed forcible disabling of ERO
9. Send up the packets with transfer code = 0x5

Hi,
Below is a patch for the Large Receive Offload feature.
Please review and let us know your comments.
LRO algorithm was described in an OLS 2005 presentation, located at
ftp.s2io.com
user: linuxdocs
password: HALdocs
The same ftp site has Programming Manual for Xframe-I ASIC.
LRO feature is supported on Neterion Xframe-I, Xframe-II and
Xframe-Express 10GbE NICs.
Brief description:
The Large Receive Offload(LRO) feature is a stateless offload
that is complementary to TSO feature but on the receive path.
The idea is to combine and collapse(upto 64K maximum) in the
driver, in-sequence TCP packets belonging to the same session.
It is mainly designed to improve 1500 mtu receive performance,
since Jumbo frame performance is already close to 10GbE line
rate. Some performance numbers are attached below.
Implementation details:
1. Handle packet chains from multiple sessions(current default
MAX_LRO_SESSSIONS=32).
2. Examine each packet for eligiblity to aggregate. A packet is
considered eligible if it meets all the below criteria.
a. It is a TCP/IP packet and L2 type is not LLC or SNAP.
b. The packet has no checksum errors(L3 and L4).
c. There are no IP options. The only TCP option supported is timestamps.
d. Search and locate the LRO object corresponding to this
socket and ensure packet is in TCP sequence.
e. It's not a special packet(SYN, FIN, RST, URG, PSH etc. flags are not set).
f. TCP payload is non-zero(It's not a pure ACK).
g. It's not an IP-fragmented packet.
3. If a packet is found eligible, the LRO object is updated with
information such as next sequence number expected, current length
of aggregated packet and so on. If not eligible or max packets
reached, update IP and TCP headers of first packet in the chain
and pass it up to stack.
4. The frag_list in skb structure is used to chain packets into one
large packet.
Kernel changes required: None
Performance results:
Main focus of the initial testing was on 1500 mtu receiver, since this
is a bottleneck not covered by the existing stateless offloads.
There are couple disclaimers about the performance results below:
1. Your mileage will vary!!!! We initially concentrated on couple pci-x
2.0 platforms that are powerful enough to push 10 GbE NIC and do not
have bottlenecks other than cpu%; testing on other platforms is still
in progress. On some lower end systems we are seeing lower gains.
2. Current LRO implementation is still (for the most part) software based,
and therefore performance potential of the feature is far from being realized.
Full hw implementation of LRO is expected in the next version of Xframe ASIC.
Performance delta(with MTU=1500) going from LRO disabled to enabled:
IBM 2-way Xeon (x366) : 3.5 to 7.1 Gbps
2-way Opteron : 4.5 to 6.1 Gbps

There is a problem with fragmented skb in s2io driver version 2.0.9.4
available in 2.6.16-rc1 kernel. The adapter will fail to transmit if
any scatter-gather skb arrives. This patch provides fix for the above
described problem.

I had to update this patch because more warnings have just appeared.
You cannot print a u64 with %l or %ll. You do not know what type the
architecture is using. It must be cast to a type which matches the printf
control string - unsigned long long.
The patch also fixes some overly-long strings. Please try to keep the code
looking neat in an 80-col window.

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.
A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched. In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

Hi,
This patch provides dynamic two buffer-mode and 3 buffer-mode options.
Previously 2 buffer-mode was compilation option. Now with this patch applied
one can load driver in 2 buffer-mode with module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=2
This patch also provides 3 buffer-mode which provides header separation
functionality. In 3 buffer-mode skb->data will have L2/L3/L4 headers and
"skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list->data" will have have L4 payload.
one can load driver in 3 buffer-mode with same above module-load parameter
ie.
#insmod s2io.ko rx_ring_mode=3
Please review the patch.
