[PATCH] m68k/atari: EtherNEC - rewrite to use mainstream ne.c

[PATCH] m68k/atari: EtherNEC - rewrite to use mainstream ne.c

[Michael Schmitz]

Hi.

after much prodding from Geert, and a bit of bouncing ideas back and 
forth, I've rewritten the Atari EtherNEC ethercard driver to use work 
with only minimal patches to ne.c (instead of duplicating ne.c as 
atari_ethernec.c).

The EtherNEC adapter is a solution to use a RTL8019 ISA card on the 
cartridge (ROM) port of m68k Atari computers. The cartridge port does 
not support generating interrupts. To service card interrupts, the 8390 
interrupt handler is called periodically from a dedicated hardware timer 
which needs to be shared with other users (the SMC91C111 EtherNAT 
driver, and a dummy handler dedicated to preventing interference from 
the interrupt watchdog if the card is idle).

netdev subscribers please focus on the patch to ne.c at the top. Changes 
to ne.c are twofold: to select 8-bit mode for the driver, and to ensure 
the interrupt can be shared with aforementioned other users if the 
driver is used on Atari.

This patch applies on top of Geert's current linux-m68k. It won't 
cleanly apply on top of, or work if built from Linus' tree, as it relies 
on further patches relating to bus access quirks that are pending in 
Geert's tree.

The old EtherNEC driver is retained as-is, to be removed from Geert's 
tree after this code has been accepted. It can still be built by 
selecting the CONFIG_ATARI_ETHERNEC_OLD option.

Comments to linux-m68k or me, please - I'm not subscribed to netdev.

Cheers,

   Michael

Netdev people: are these changes to ne.c acceptable?

If yes, I'll split everything and queue it up (the ne.c part through netdev,
the rest through m68k).
If not, do you have a better solution[*]?
Are there other network drivers using/requiring a similar approach?

Thanks!

[*] I can imagine an alternative, which could be generalized for other
    platforms:
      - Leave the irq at zero to indicate polling.
      - In the driver, do

	if (!dev->irq) {
		ret = -E...;
#ifdef CONFIG_ATARI
		if (MACH_IS_ATARI) {
			ret = atari_request_poll(eip_interrupt, name, dev);
		}
#endif
	} else {
		ret = request_irq(dev->irq, ...);
		...
	}

	and a similar thing for free_irq().

This has the advantage that atari_request_poll() can decide to register the
timer interrupt only when EtherNEC or EtherNAT are active.

smc91x requires the same approach - the only changes necessary there
are to smc91x.h (and Kconfig).

(no patch yet; the code is stuck on my devel PC which refuses to boot ATM).

Do you really need the #if here?  Should be avoidable.

There has to be a cleaner way than this.  Something as simple as creating
a platform specific 8380_IRQ_FLAGS would get rid of this ifdef'ery in
the driver and that is with only 20s of thought invested.

That would have been the alternative - would you prefer to have this 
added in 8390.h or ne.c?

This kind of arch specific stuff still shouldn't need to
bubble right up to the driver level  I'd think a driver
should be able to include <asm/irq.h> and have whatever
arch specific goo like this be present.

So maybe this kind of magic should be in arch/m68k/include/asm/irq*
instead of here?

And on re-reading the comments in the other part of the patch, i.e.
"...emulates the card interrupt via a timer"  --perhaps the driver
should be just fixed to support generic netpoll, instead of adding
an arch specific thing that amounts to netpoll.  Then anyone can
attempt to limp along and use one of these ancient relics w/o IRQ.

Paul.

I've double checked - that hunk should not actually have been in the 
patch at all. My bad ...
With all arch-specific interrupt tweaks (aside from the  interrupt 
flags) now removed from the driver, the definition wasn't actually used 
any longer in the main driver file.

The non-standard interrupt flag will still be required for those users 
that decide to wire up the card interrupt line to, for example, the 
modem serial port's ring input.

I had in fact implemented that as a fallback option earlier, and it 
turned out to be quite a bit slower that way.
If that's the preferred option, I'll add netpoll to the 8390 driver and 
resubmit.

[PATCH] m68k/atari: EtherNEC - rewrite to use mainstream ne.c, take two

[Michael Schmitz]

Hi Paul, Geert,

>   
Here's take two of my patch to convert the m68k Atari ROM port Ethernet 
driver to use mainstream ne.c, with minimal changes to the core NE2000 
code.

In particular:

Changes to core net code:
* add a platform specific IRQ flag, so ne.c can share a hardware or 
timer interrupt with some other interrupt source.

Changes to arch/m68k code:
* register the 8390 platform device on Atari only if the hardware is present
* retain the old driver (atari_ethernec.c in Geert's tree) under a 
different config option, to be removed soon.

Regarding your suggestion that netpoll be used instead of a dedicated 
timer interrupt: no changes to ne.c or 8390p.c are required to use 
netpoll, it all works out of the box. All that is needed to use the 
driver with netpoll is setting the device interrupt to some source that  
can be registered, and enabling CONFIG_NETPOLL. Interrupt rate and hence 
throughput is lower with netpoll though, which is why I still prefer the 
dedicated timer option.

Comments?

Cheers,

  Michael Schmitz

How much lower?  Enough to matter?  Implicit in that question is
the assumption that this is largely a hobbyist platform and nobody
is using it in a closet to route gigabytes of traffic.

Also, the only advantage to modifying ne.c is to allow dumping
the old driver.  What is the "remove soon" plan?  Any reason
for it to not be synchronous?  That would eliminate the Kconfig
churn and the introduction of the _OLD option.  Modifying ne.c
and then deciding to keep the old driver because it is "faster"
would make this change pointless.

This seems more klunky than it needs to be.  If we assume that anyone
building ne.c on atari is hence trying to drive an ethernec device
than it can just be

#ifdef CONFIG_ATARI
#define EI_IRQ_FLAGS	IRQF_SHARED
#else
#define EI_IRQ_FLAGS	0
#endif

Rather than use IS_ENABLED on a driver setting, you can follow
the surrounding context and use defined(CONFIG_ATARI) -- i.e.
work off a platform setting.

One other thing we could do is increase CONFIG_HZ to 250.

From my point of view, "remove soon" means it will never hit mainline.

Indeed, with a small modification (keep multi-platform kernels in mind):

#ifdef CONFIG_ATARI
#define EI_IRQ_FLAGS    (MACH_IS_ATARI ? IRQF_SHARED : 0)
#else
#define EI_IRQ_FLAGS    0

I'd say about at least double latency. I can try and measure bulk data 
rates if it matters. My gut feeling is latency limits data rates even 
when say behind a DSL modem for downloads. It sure did when my Falcon 
was still hooked up to a university network, uploading and downloading 
source and binary packages for Debian/68k.

Of course you're not routing gigabytes of traffic with this (where to - 
a PPP connection? :). Whoever wants minimum latency better reach for the 
soldering iron and wire up the interrupt line to some suitable input.

As soon as eventual changes to ne.c get accepted. If you want us to drop 
the old driver in the same patch, fine by me.

Pretty safe assumption - if we further assume no other arch has reason 
to resort to such a kludge, we can simplify it this way.

True as well, point taken. Is the patch acceptable with these changes? 
If so, would you be OK with this going through Geert's tree?

Can you clarify what "it" is?   It isn't clear to me if you
mean the _removal_ will never hit mainline, or the transient
renamed "old" driver will never hit mainline.

If the former, then there is no point pursuing this any further
as I said above.

If the latter, then the commit sent out for review should have
no instances of this "renaming to old" related changes.

Thanks,
Paul.

Sorry for being unclear. The latter (i.e. the old driver will
never hit mainline).

And Michael's patch against ne.c should indeed not touch the old
driver, as it doesn't exist in mainline.

Making 3.x kernels run even more sluggish than they already do?

That's what I meant to say - my patch is based on the m68k tree which 
currently has another driver for this hardware, based on an older 
version of ne.c which was never submitted to mainline. The old driver 
would be removed from the m68k tree as soon as possible.

Right you are. Is any other m68k platform using ne.c directly, or do you 
plan to convert all other NE2000 based drivers to ne.c now?

Plain ne is also used on Q40.

Re: [PATCH] m68k/atari: EtherNEC - rewrite to use mainstream ne.c, take two

[Michael Schmitz]

Hi Paul,

I hate to bring this up again after such a long delay - my usual 
slackness is to blame, sorry.

Geert has reminded me that the IRQ-less ne.c driver is one of the few 
remaining unmerged patches in his queue.
We had resolved the polling from timer interrupt issues in the m68k 
interrupt code, with a little help from Thomas Gleixner (commit 
b39898cd4077f4b6ec706e717c938751c34e1dc4) so changes to ne.c are now 
minimal.

Are you willing to review this minimal patch again?
Regards,

    Michael Schmitz
