1. Fix for updating skb->truesize properly.
2. Disable NAPI only if more than one ring configured in case of MSI/MSI-X
   interrupts. Previously we were disabling NAPI irrespective of number of
   rings when MSI/MSI-X interrupts were used.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

f83ef8c0b5 [IPV6]: Added GSO support for TCPv6
This patch adds GSO support for IPv6 and TCPv6.  This is based on a patch
by Ananda Raju <Ananda.Raju@neterion.com>.  His original description is:

	This patch enables TSO over IPv6. Currently Linux network stacks
	restricts TSO over IPv6 by clearing of the NETIF_F_TSO bit from
	"dev->features". This patch will remove this restriction.

	This patch will introduce a new flag NETIF_F_TSO6 which will be used
	to check whether device supports TSO over IPv6. If device support TSO
	over IPv6 then we don't clear of NETIF_F_TSO and which will make the
	TCP layer to create TSO packets. Any device supporting TSO over IPv6
	will set NETIF_F_TSO6 flag in "dev->features" along with NETIF_F_TSO.

	In case when user disables TSO using ethtool, NETIF_F_TSO will get
	cleared from "dev->features". So even if we have NETIF_F_TSO6 we don't
	get TSO packets created by TCP layer.

	SKB_GSO_TCPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_TCP to make it generic GSO packet.
	SKB_GSO_UDPV4 renamed to SKB_GSO_UDP as UFO is not a IPv4 feature.
	UFO is supported over IPv6 also

	The following table shows there is significant improvement in
	throughput with normal frames and CPU usage for both normal and jumbo.

7967168cef [NET]: Merge TSO/UFO fields in sk_buff
Having separate fields in sk_buff for TSO/UFO (tso_size/ufo_size) is not
going to scale if we add any more segmentation methods (e.g., DCCP).  So
let's merge them.

They were used to tell the protocol of a packet.  This function has been
subsumed by the new gso_type field.  This is essentially a set of netdev
feature bits (shifted by 16 bits) that are required to process a specific
skb.  As such it's easy to tell whether a given device can process a GSO
skb: you just have to and the gso_type field and the netdev's features
field.

I've made gso_type a conjunction.  The idea is that you have a base type
(e.g., SKB_GSO_TCPV4) that can be modified further to support new features.
For example, if we add a hardware TSO type that supports ECN, they would
declare NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_TSO_ECN.  All TSO packets with CWR set would
have a gso_type of SKB_GSO_TCPV4 | SKB_GSO_TCPV4_ECN while all other TSO
packets would be SKB_GSO_TCPV4.  This means that only the CWR packets need
to be emulated in software.

7d3d0439f5 [PATCH] S2io: Large Receive Offload (LRO) feature(v2) for Neterion (s2io) 10GbE Xframe PCI-X and PCI-E NICs
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

efd51b5c67 [PATCH] s2io: scatter-gather fix
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.
