* net: export the receive time stamping hook for non-NAPI driversRichard Cochran2011-06-201-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Ethernet MAC drivers based on phylib (but not using NAPI) can enable hardware time stamping in phy devices by calling netif_rx() conditionally based on a call to skb_defer_rx_timestamp(). This commit exports that function so that drivers calling it may be compiled as modules. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@omicron.at> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: export time stamp utility function for Ethernet MAC driversRichard Cochran2011-06-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The network stack provides the function, skb_clone_tx_timestamp(). Ethernet MAC drivers can call this via the transmit time stamping hook, skb_tx_timestamp(). This commit exports the clone function so that drivers using it can be compiled as modules. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@omicron.at> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit c1f19b51d1d8 (net: support time stamping in phy devices.), kernel might crash if CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING=y and skb_defer_rx_timestamp() handles a packet without an ethernet header.

* | filter: optimize sk_run_filterEric Dumazet2010-11-191-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove pc variable to avoid arithmetic to compute fentry at each filter instruction. Jumps directly manipulate fentry pointer. As the last instruction of filter[] is guaranteed to be a RETURN, and all jumps are before the last instruction, we dont need to check filter bounds (number of instructions in filter array) at each iteration, so we remove it from sk_run_filter() params. On x86_32 remove f_k var introduced in commit 57fe93b374a6b871 (filter: make sure filters dont read uninitialized memory) Note : We could use a CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_{FEW|MANY}_REGISTERS in order to avoid too many ifdefs in this code. This helps compiler to use cpu registers to hold fentry and A accumulator. On x86_32, this saves 401 bytes, and more important, sk_run_filter() runs much faster because less register pressure (One less conditional branch per BPF instruction) # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 2948 0 0 2948 b84 net/core/filter.o 3349 0 0 3349 d15 net/core/filter_pre.o on x86_64 : # size net/core/filter.o net/core/filter_pre.o text data bss dec hex filename 5173 0 0 5173 1435 net/core/filter.o 5224 0 0 5224 1468 net/core/filter_pre.o Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Acked-by: Changli Gao <xiaosuo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: support time stamping in phy devices.Richard Cochran2010-07-181-0/+126
This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are deferred for later delivery by the driver. The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may optionally implement these functions.
