Pull networking update from David Miller: 1) Checkpoint/restarted TCP sockets now can properly propagate the TCP timestamp offset. From Andrey Vagin. 2) VMWARE VM VSOCK layer, from Andy King. 3) Much improved support for virtual functions and SR-IOV in bnx2x, from Ariel ELior. 4) All protocols on ipv4 and ipv6 are now network namespace aware, and all the compatability checks for initial-namespace-only protocols is removed. Thanks to Tom Parkin for helping deal with the last major holdout, L2TP. 5) IPV6 support in netpoll and network namespace support in pktgen, from Cong Wang. 6) Multiple Registration Protocol (MRP) and Multiple VLAN Registration Protocol (MVRP) support, from David Ward. 7) Compute packet lengths more accurately in the packet scheduler, from Eric Dumazet. 8) Use per-task page fragment allocator in skb_append_datato_frags(), also from Eric Dumazet. 9) Add support for connection tracking labels in netfilter, from Florian Westphal. 10) Fix default multicast group joining on ipv6, and add anti-spoofing checks to 6to4 and 6rd. From Hannes Frederic Sowa. 11) Make ipv4/ipv6 fragmentation memory limits more reasonable in modern times, rearrange inet frag datastructures for better cacheline locality, and move more operations outside of locking. From Jesper Dangaard Brouer. 12) Instead of strict master <--> slave relationships, allow arbitrary scenerios with "upper device lists". From Jiri Pirko. 13) Improve rate limiting accuracy in TBF and act_police, also from Jiri Pirko. 14) Add a BPF filter netfilter match target, from Willem de Bruijn. 15) Orphan and delete a bunch of pre-historic networking drivers from Paul Gortmaker. 16) Add TSO support for GRE tunnels, from Pravin B SHelar. Although this still needs some minor bug fixing before it's %100 correct in all cases. 17) Handle unresolved IPSEC states like ARP, with a resolution packet queue. From Steffen Klassert. 18) Remove TCP Appropriate Byte Count support (ABC), from Stephen Hemminger. This was long overdue. 19) Support SO_REUSEPORT, from Tom Herbert. 20) Allow locking a socket BPF filter, so that it cannot change after a process drops capabilities. 21) Add VLAN filtering to bridge, from Vlad Yasevich. 22) Bring ipv6 on-par with ipv4 and do not cache neighbour entries in the ipv6 routes, from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next: (1538 commits) ipv6: fix race condition regarding dst->expires and dst->from. net: fix a wrong assignment in skb_split() ip_gre: remove an extra dst_release() ppp: set qdisc_tx_busylock to avoid LOCKDEP splat atl1c: restore buffer state net: fix a build failure when !CONFIG_PROC_FS net: ipv4: fix waring -Wunused-variable net: proc: fix build failed when procfs is not configured Revert "xen: netback: remove redundant xenvif_put" net: move procfs code to net/core/net-procfs.c qmi_wwan, cdc-ether: add ADU960S bonding: set sysfs device_type to 'bond' bonding: fix bond_release_all inconsistencies b44: use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() xen: netback: remove redundant xenvif_put net: fec: Do a sanity check on the gpio number ip_gre: propogate target device GSO capability to the tunnel device ip_gre: allow CSUM capable devices to handle packets bonding: Fix initialize after use for 3ad machine state spinlock bonding: Fix race condition between bond_enslave() and bond_3ad_update_lacp_rate() ...

- 1. INTRODUCTION.
-
- This is a set of Ethernet drivers for the D-Link DE-600/DE-620
- pocket adapters, for the parallel port on a Linux based machine.
- Some adapter "clones" will also work. Xircom is _not_ a clone...
- These drivers _can_ be used as loadable modules,
- and were developed for use on Linux 1.1.13 and above.
- For use on Linux 1.0.X, or earlier releases, see below.
-
- I have used these drivers for NFS, ftp, telnet and X-clients on
- remote machines. Transmissions with ftp seems to work as
- good as can be expected (i.e. > 80k bytes/sec) from a
- parallel port...:-) Receive speeds will be about 60-80% of this.
- Depending on your machine, somewhat higher speeds can be achieved.
-
- All comments/fixes to Bjorn Ekwall (bj0rn@blox.se).

- 3. FILES IN THIS RELEASE.
-
- README.DLINK This file.
- de600.c The Source (may it be with You :-) for the DE-600
- de620.c ditto for the DE-620
- de620.h Macros for de620.c
-
- If you are upgrading from the d-link tar release, there will
- also be a "dlink-patches" file that will patch Linux 1.1.18:
- linux/drivers/net/Makefile
- linux/drivers/net/CONFIG
- linux/drivers/net/MODULES
- linux/drivers/net/Space.c
- linux/config.in
- Apply the patch by:
- "cd /usr/src; patch -p0 < linux/drivers/net/dlink-patches"
- The old source, "linux/drivers/net/d_link.c", can be removed.
-
-
- 4. INSTALLATION.
-
- o Get the latest net binaries, according to current net.wisdom.
-
- o Read the NET-2 and Ethernet HOWTOs and modify your setup.
-
- o If your parallel port has a strange address or irq,
- modify "linux/drivers/net/CONFIG" accordingly, or adjust
- the parameters in the "tuning" section in the sources.
-
- If you are going to use the drivers as loadable modules, do _not_
- enable them while doing "make config", but instead make sure that
- the drivers are included in "linux/drivers/net/MODULES".
-
- If you are _not_ going to use the driver(s) as loadable modules,
- but instead have them included in the kernel, remember to enable
- the drivers while doing "make config".
-
- o To include networking and DE600/DE620 support in your kernel:
- # cd /linux
- (as modules:)
- # make config (answer yes on CONFIG_NET and CONFIG_INET)
- (else included in the kernel:)
- # make config (answer yes on CONFIG _NET, _INET and _DE600 or _DE620)
- # make clean
- # make zImage (or whatever magic you usually do)
-
- o I use lilo to boot multiple kernels, so that I at least
- can have one working kernel :-). If you do too, append
- these lines to /etc/lilo/config:
-
- image = /linux/zImage
- label = newlinux
- root = /dev/hda2 (or whatever YOU have...)
-
- # /etc/lilo/install
-
- o Do "sync" and reboot the new kernel with a D-Link
- DE-600/DE-620 pocket adapter connected.
-
- o The adapter can be configured with ifconfig eth?
- where the actual number is decided by the kernel
- when the drivers are initialized.
-
-
- 5. "PROBLEMS" AND TUNING,
-
- o If you see error messages from the driver, and if the traffic
- stops on the adapter, try to do "ifconfig" and "route" once
- more, just as in "rc.inet1". This should take care of most
- problems, including effects from power loss, or adapters that
- aren't connected to the printer port in some way or another.
- You can somewhat change the behaviour by enabling/disabling
- the macro SHUTDOWN_WHEN_LOST in the "tuning" section.
- For the DE-600 there is another macro, CHECK_LOST_DE600,
- that you might want to read about in the "tuning" section.
-
- o Some machines have trouble handling the parallel port and
- the adapter at high speed. If you experience problems:
-
- DE-600:
- - The adapter is not recognized at boot, i.e. an Ethernet
- address of 00:80:c8:... is not shown, try to add another
- "; SLOW_DOWN_IO"
- at DE600_SLOW_DOWN in the "tuning" section. As a last resort,
- uncomment: "#define REALLY_SLOW_IO" (see <asm/io.h> for hints).
-
- - You experience "timeout" messages: first try to add another
- "; SLOW_DOWN_IO"
- at DE600_SLOW_DOWN in the "tuning" section, _then_ try to
- increase the value (original value: 5) at
- "if (tickssofar < 5)" near line 422.
-
- DE-620:
- - Your parallel port might be "sluggish". To cater for
- this, there are the macros LOWSPEED and READ_DELAY/WRITE_DELAY
- in the "tuning" section. Your first step should be to enable
- LOWSPEED, and after that you can "tune" the XXX_DELAY values.
-
- o If the adapter _is_ recognized at boot but you get messages
- about "Network Unreachable", then the problem is probably
- _not_ with the driver. Check your net configuration instead
- (ifconfig and route) in "rc.inet1".
-
- o There is some rudimentary support for debugging, look at
- the source. Use "-DDE600_DEBUG=3" or "-DDE620_DEBUG=3"
- when compiling, or include it in "linux/drivers/net/CONFIG".
- IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS YOU CAN'T SOLVE: PLEASE COMPILE THE DRIVER
- WITH DEBUGGING ENABLED, AND SEND ME THE RESULTING OUTPUT!
-
-
- 6. USING THE DRIVERS WITH EARLIER RELEASES.
-
- The later 1.1.X releases of the Linux kernel include some
- changes in the networking layer (a.k.a. NET3). This affects
- these drivers in a few places. The hints that follow are
- _not_ tested by me, since I don't have the disk space to keep
- all releases on-line.
- Known needed changes to date:
- - release patchfile: some patches will fail, but they should
- be easy to apply "by hand", since they are trivial.
- (Space.c: d_link_init() is now called de600_probe())
- - de600.c: change "mark_bh(NET_BH)" to "mark_bh(INET_BH)".
- - de620.c: (maybe) change the code around "netif_rx(skb);" to be
- similar to the code around "dev_rint(...)" in de600.c
-
-
- 7. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.
-
- These drivers wouldn't have been done without the base
- (and support) from Ross Biro, and D-Link Systems Inc.
- The driver relies upon GPL-ed source from D-Link Systems Inc.
- and from Russel Nelson at Crynwr Software <nelson@crynwr.com>.
-
- Additional input also from:
- Donald Becker <becker@super.org>, Alan Cox <A.Cox@swansea.ac.uk>
- and Fred N. van Kempen <waltje@uWalt.NL.Mugnet.ORG>
-
- DE-600 alpha release primary victim^H^H^H^H^H^Htester:
- - Erik Proper <erikp@cs.kun.nl>.
- Good input also from several users, most notably
- - Mark Burton <markb@ordern.demon.co.uk>.

series. DMA support is now unconditionally part of the driver. It is
enabled by the 'use_dma=1' module option.
-4.4 COMPILING THE DRIVER INTO THE KERNEL
-
-If your Linux distribution already has support for the cs89x0 driver
-then simply copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
-directory to replace the original ones and run the make utility to
-rebuild the kernel. See Step 3 for rebuilding the kernel.
-
-If your Linux does not include the cs89x0 driver, you need to edit three
-configuration files, copy the source file to the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net
-directory, and then run the make utility to rebuild the kernel.
-
-1. Edit the following configuration files by adding the statements as
-indicated. (When possible, try to locate the added text to the section of the
-file containing similar statements).
-
-
-a.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Config.in, add:
-
-tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
-
-Example:
-
- if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
- tristate 'ICL EtherTeam 16i/32 support' CONFIG_ETH16I
- fi
-
- tristate 'CS89x0 support' CONFIG_CS89x0
-
- tristate 'NE2000/NE1000 support' CONFIG_NE2000
- if [ "$CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL" = "y" ]; then
- tristate 'NI5210 support' CONFIG_NI52
-
-
-b.) In /usr/src/linux/drivers/net/Makefile, add the following lines:
-
-ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),y)
-L_OBJS += cs89x0.o
-else
- ifeq ($(CONFIG_CS89x0),m)
- M_OBJS += cs89x0.o
- endif
-endif
-
-
-c.) In /linux/drivers/net/Space.c file, add the line:
-
-extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
-
-
-Example:
-
- extern int ultra_probe(struct device *dev);
- extern int wd_probe(struct device *dev);
- extern int el2_probe(struct device *dev);
-
- extern int cs89x0_probe(struct device *dev);
-
- extern int ne_probe(struct device *dev);
- extern int hp_probe(struct device *dev);
- extern int hp_plus_probe(struct device *dev);
-
-
-Also add:
-
- #ifdef CONFIG_CS89x0
- { cs89x0_probe,0 },
- #endif
-
-
-2.) Copy the driver source files (cs89x0.c and cs89x0.h)
-into the /usr/src/linux/drivers/net directory.
-
-
-3.) Go to /usr/src/linux directory and run 'make config' followed by 'make'
-(or make bzImage) to rebuild the kernel.
-
-4.) Use the DOS 'setup' utility to disable plug and play on the NIC.

-The EtherWORKS 3 driver in this distribution is designed to work with all
-kernels > 1.1.33 (approx) and includes tools in the 'ewrk3tools'
-subdirectory to allow set up of the card, similar to the MSDOS
-'NICSETUP.EXE' tools provided on the DOS drivers disk (type 'make' in that
-subdirectory to make the tools).
-
-The supported cards are DE203, DE204 and DE205. All other cards are NOT
-supported - refer to 'depca.c' for running the LANCE based network cards and
-'de4x5.c' for the DIGITAL Semiconductor PCI chip based adapters from
-Digital.
-
-The ability to load this driver as a loadable module has been included and
-used extensively during the driver development (to save those long reboot
-sequences). To utilise this ability, you have to do 8 things:
-
- 0) have a copy of the loadable modules code installed on your system.
- 1) copy ewrk3.c from the /linux/drivers/net directory to your favourite
- temporary directory.
- 2) edit the source code near line 1898 to reflect the I/O address and
- IRQ you're using.
- 3) compile ewrk3.c, but include -DMODULE in the command line to ensure
- that the correct bits are compiled (see end of source code).
- 4) if you are wanting to add a new card, goto 5. Otherwise, recompile a
- kernel with the ewrk3 configuration turned off and reboot.
- 5) insmod ewrk3.o
- [Alan Cox: Changed this so you can insmod ewrk3.o irq=x io=y]
- [Adam Kropelin: Multiple cards now supported by irq=x1,x2 io=y1,y2]
- 6) run the net startup bits for your new eth?? interface manually
- (usually /etc/rc.inet[12] at boot time).
- 7) enjoy!
-
- Note that autoprobing is not allowed in loadable modules - the system is
- already up and running and you're messing with interrupts.
-
- To unload a module, turn off the associated interface
- 'ifconfig eth?? down' then 'rmmod ewrk3'.
-
-The performance we've achieved so far has been measured through the 'ttcp'
-tool at 975kB/s. This measures the total TCP stack performance which
-includes the card, so don't expect to get much nearer the 1.25MB/s

+PHY Management
+--------------
+
+The physical link (i2c, ...) management is defined by the following struture:
+
+struct nfc_phy_ops {
+ int (*write)(void *dev_id, struct sk_buff *skb);
+ int (*enable)(void *dev_id);
+ void (*disable)(void *dev_id);
+};
+
+enable(): turn the phy on (power on), make it ready to transfer data
+disable(): turn the phy off
+write(): Send a data frame to the chip. Note that to enable higher
+layers such as an llc to store the frame for re-emission, this function must
+not alter the skb. It must also not return a positive result (return 0 for
+success, negative for failure).
+
+Data coming from the chip shall be sent directly to nfc_hci_recv_frame().
+
+LLC
+---
+
+Communication between the CPU and the chip often requires some link layer
+protocol. Those are isolated as modules managed by the HCI layer. There are
+currently two modules : nop (raw transfert) and shdlc.
+A new llc must implement the following functions:
+
+struct nfc_llc_ops {
+ void *(*init) (struct nfc_hci_dev *hdev, xmit_to_drv_t xmit_to_drv,
+ rcv_to_hci_t rcv_to_hci, int tx_headroom,

+ void (*rcv_from_drv) (struct nfc_llc *llc, struct sk_buff *skb);
+ int (*xmit_from_hci) (struct nfc_llc *llc, struct sk_buff *skb);
+};
+
+- init() : allocate and init your private storage
+- deinit() : cleanup
+- start() : establish the logical connection
+- stop () : terminate the logical connection
+- rcv_from_drv() : handle data coming from the chip, going to HCI
+- xmit_from_hci() : handle data sent by HCI, going to the chip
-Most chips use shdlc to ensure integrity and delivery ordering of the HCP
-frames between the host controller (the chip) and hosts (entities connected
-to the chip, like the cpu). In order to simplify writing the driver, an shdlc
-layer is available for use by the driver.
-When used, the driver actually registers with shdlc, and shdlc will register
-with HCI. HCI sees shdlc as the driver and thus send its HCP frames
-through shdlc->xmit.
-SHDLC adds a new execution context (nfc_shdlc_sm_work()) to run its state
-machine and handle both its rx and tx path.
+The llc must be registered with nfc before it can be used. Do that by

General
-------
The PN544 is an integrated transmission module for contactless
communication. The driver goes under drives/nfc/ and is compiled as a
-module named "pn544". It registers a misc device and creates a device
-file named "/dev/pn544".
+module named "pn544".
Host Interfaces: I2C, SPI and HSU, this driver supports currently only I2C.
-The Interface
--------------
-
-The driver offers a sysfs interface for a hardware test and an IOCTL
-interface for selecting between two operating modes. There are read,
-write and poll functions for transferring messages. The two operating
-modes are the normal (HCI) mode and the firmware update mode.
-
-PN544 is controlled by sending messages from the userspace to the
-chip. The main function of the driver is just to pass those messages
-without caring about the message content.

-The Hardware Test
------------------
-
-The idea of the test is that it can performed by reading from the
-corresponding sysfs file. The test is implemented in the board file
-and it should test that PN544 can be put into the firmware update
-mode. If the test is not implemented the sysfs file does not get
-created.

-Normal Operation
-----------------
-
-PN544 is powered up when the device file is opened, otherwise it's
-turned off. Only one instance can use the device at a time.
-
-Userspace applications control PN544 with HCI messages. The hardware
-sends an interrupt when data is available for reading. Data is
-physically read when the read function is called by a userspace
-application. Poll() checks the read interrupt state. Configuration and
-self testing are also done from the userspace using read and write.

-
