Hi all
I wounder if anyone has done some measurement on 8xx/82xx
current driver v.s a NAPI(New API) converted driver and willing
to share the resluts?
NAPI(see Documentation/networking/NAPI_HOWTO.txt) is supposed to reduce #irqs
under high load, which will increase small packet throughput. It go
Hello,
I tried to make use of wake_up_interruptible(wq) in my module as
following (I just wanted to test if I'm using it correctly):
If I'm doing insmod, the module blocks in the wake_up_interruptible call.
Does somebody know why? Maybe because there is no process sleeping? How do
I check this?

Hi,
I could get PCI working on MBX860 with few changes to
qspan_pci.c file (see the patch below) on linux-2.4.21. Do
note that there are many copies of this file in different
directories (arch/ppc/kernel, arch/ppc/syslib,
arch/ppc/boot/simple). The one in boot/simple seems to be the
older one (qsp

Yes, it looks interesting! I'm glad this is being
introduced as a mechanism for all drivers to use.

All,
A quick search on this mailing list will point to a replay by Wolfgang Denk
to exactly the same question. Try
http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-embedded/200107/msg00154.html
The subject is Interfacing user application and interrupt. I have just done
exactly this using Wolfgang's reply to
Hello,
Maybe this is a simple question, but I have searched the code
and played around with no luck. This is for an 8260 FADS
board, later to be used on custom H/W.
How and where do I add peripherals memory to the memory
map? I have tried adding it in the ads_map_io function but
when I try to
