virtio 1.0 makes all memory structures LE, so we need APIs to conditionally do a byteswap on BE architectures. To make it easier to check code statically, add virtio specific types for multi-byte integers in memory. Add low level wrappers that do a byteswap conditionally, these will be useful e.g. for vhost. Add high level wrappers that query device endian-ness and act accordingly.

skb_page_frag_refill currently permits only order-0 page allocs unless GFP_WAIT is used. Change skb_page_frag_refill to attempt higher-order page allocations whether or not GFP_WAIT is used. If memory cannot be allocated, the allocator will fall back to successively smaller page allocs (down to order-0 page allocs). This change brings skb_page_frag_refill in line with the existing page allocation

The virtio-net device currently uses aligned MTU-sized mergeable receive packet buffers. Network throughput for workloads with large average packet size can be improved by posting larger receive packet buffers. However, due to SKB truesize effects, posting large (e.g, PAGE_SIZE) buffers reduces the throughput of workloads that do not benefit from GRO and have no large inbound packets. This

During boot of dom0, I get the following. Box is remote, so I''m now waiting for proxy power button pusher ;-) tg3 init fails doing dma_alloc_coherent (I assume this is from tg3_init_one -> tg3_test_dma -> pci_alloc_consistent -> dma_alloc_coherent). Looks like an issue with the amount of memory in dom0. Is this known? thanks, -chris root (hd0,0) Filesystem type is ext2fs,

Hello, I''ve had a look at PVH support, and I have a few questions: - events are still dispatched the PV way through the callback, right? - I guess FPU errors don''t trigger an INT13, so I don''t need to handle that? - How about the console and store MFNs from the boot info? Are they still MFNs, or actually PFNs? - How about PV network in non-copy mode? It used to be

Hi, I have to install Broadcom driver because the Dell Optiplex 330 running Centos 5.2 is not able to connect to the network. I am trying to install a Broadcom driver, but I get the followng error: [root at localhost tg3-3.85l]# [root at localhost tg3-3.85l]# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/Server/Linux/Driver/tg3-3.85l modules make[1]: Entering directory

Extend existing support for netdevice receive queue sysfs attributes to permit a device-specific attribute group. Initial use case for this support will be to allow the virtio-net device to export per-receive queue mergeable receive buffer size.

Hello, I've got a very strange problem. Lately I've been setting up my linux servers for network (layer2) redundancy with a bridge interface containing two ethernet interfaces connecting to two switches. So far I didn't have any problems with it, but now a very strange thing happens with a new server I'm installing. The server is an ibm x346 having two onboard BCM5721 cards, the
