forcedeth: remove duplicate structure member in rx

2018-01-23T16:11:41Z

Since both first_rx_ctx and rx_skb are the head of rx ctx, it not necessary to use two structure members to statically indicate the head of rx ctx. So first_rx_ctx is removed. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: remove unused variable

2018-01-19T19:32:25Z

The variable miistat is not used. So it is removed. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: remove duplicate structure member in rx

2018-01-08T19:15:15Z

Since both first_rx and rx_ring are the head of rx ring, it not necessary to use two structure members to statically indicate the head of rx ring. So first_rx is removed. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: optimize the rx with likely

2018-01-02T18:29:23Z

In the rx fastpath, the function netdev_alloc_skb rarely fails. Therefore, a likely() optimization is added to this error check conditional. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: remove duplicate structure member in xmit

2017-12-19T15:57:17Z

Since both first_tx_ctx and tx_skb are the head of tx ctx, it not necessary to use two structure members to statically indicate the head of tx ctx. So first_tx_ctx is removed. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: remove unnecessary structure member

2017-12-11T19:03:56Z

Since both tx_ring and first_tx are the head of tx ring, it not necessary to use two structure members to statically indicate the head of tx ring. So first_tx is removed. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: optimize the xmit with unlikely

2017-11-30T14:35:03Z

In xmit, it is very impossible that TX_ERROR occurs. So using unlikely optimizes the xmit process. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: replace pci_unmap_page with dma_unmap_page

2017-11-24T20:08:53Z

The function pci_unmap_page is obsolete. So it is replaced with the function dma_unmap_page. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: remove redudant assignments in xmit

2017-11-13T01:40:19Z

In xmit process, the variables are set many times. In fact, it is enough for these variables to be set once. After a long time test, the throughput performance is better than before. CC: Srinivas Eeda CC: Joe Jin CC: Junxiao Bi Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: replace pci_alloc_consistent with dma_alloc_coherent

2017-11-01T03:03:28Z

The functions pci_alloc_consistent is obsolete. So it is replaced with dma_alloc_coherent Signed-off-by: Zhu Yanjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
