[PATCH 00/10] net/macb: driver enhancement concerning GEM support, ring logic and cleanup

From: Nicolas Ferre
Date: Wed Sep 05 2012 - 04:25:06 EST


This is an enhancement work that began several years ago. I try to catchup with
some performance improvement that has been implemented then by Havard.
The ring index logic and the TX error path modification are the biggest changes
but some cleanup/debugging have been added along the way.
The GEM revision will benefit from the Gigabit support.

The series has been tested on several Atmel AT91 SoC with the two MACB/GEM
flavors.

Havard Skinnemoen (5):
net/macb: memory barriers cleanup
net/macb: change debugging messages
net/macb: Fix a race in macb_start_xmit()
net/macb: clean up ring buffer logic
net/macb: Offset first RX buffer by two bytes

Nicolas Ferre (4):
net/macb: better manage tx errors
net/macb: tx status is more than 8 bits now
net/macb: macb_get_drvinfo: add GEM/MACB suffix to differentiate
revision
net/macb: ethtool interface: add register dump feature

Patrice Vilchez (1):
net/macb: Add support for Gigabit Ethernet mode
