|
|
* Hacked October, 1997 by Jawaid Bazyar, Interlink Advertising Services Inc.
|
|
|
|
|
* http://www.hypermall.com/
|
|
|
|
|
* 10/1/97 - commented out CFG_PHYIE bit - we don't care when the PHY
|
|
|
|
|
* interrupts us (except possibly for removal/insertion of the cable?)
|
|
|
|
|
* 10/4/97 - began heavy inline documentation of the code. Corrected typos
|
|
|
|
|
* and spelling mistakes.
|
|
|
|
|
* 10/5/97 - added code to handle PHY interrupts, disable PHY on
|
|
|
|
|
* loss of link, and correctly re-enable PHY when link is
|
|
|
|
|
* re-established. (put back CFG_PHYIE)
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
* Modified to work with the IDT7721 nicstar -- AAL5 (tested) only.

|
|
|
* Linux driver for the IDT77201 NICStAR PCI ATM controller.
|
|
|
|
|
* PHY component is expected to be 155 Mbps S/UNI-Lite or IDT 77155;
|
|
|
|
|
* see init_nicstar() for PHY initialization to change this. This driver
|
|
|
|
|
* expects the Linux ATM stack to support scatter-gather lists
|
|
|
|
|
* (skb->atm.iovcnt != 0) for Rx skb's passed to vcc->push.
|
|
|
|
|
*
|
|
|
|
|
* Implementing minimal-copy of received data:
|
|
|
|
|
* IDT always receives data into a small buffer, then large buffers
|
|
|
|
|
* as needed. This means that data must always be copied to create
|
|
|
|
|
* the linear buffer needed by most non-ATM protocol stacks (e.g. IP)
|
|
|
|
|
* Fix is simple: make large buffers large enough to hold entire
|
|
|
|
|
* SDU, and leave <small_buffer_data> bytes empty at the start. Then
|
|
|
|
|
* copy small buffer contents to head of large buffer.
|
|
|
|
|
* Trick is to avoid fragmenting Linux, due to need for a lot of large
|
|
|
|
|
* buffers. This is done by 2 things:
|
|
|
|
|
* 1) skb->destructor / skb->atm.recycle_buffer
|
|
|
|
|
* combined, allow nicstar_free_rx_skb to be called to
|
|
|
|
|
* recycle large data buffers
|
|
|
|
|
* 2) skb_clone of received buffers
|
|
|
|
|
* See nicstar_free_rx_skb and linearize_buffer for implementation
|
|
|
|
|
* details.
