The count field is not needed also. +struct tg3_tx_cbdata { + u32 base_flags; + int count; + unsigned int max_per_txd; + unsigned int nr_frags; + unsigned int mss; +}; +#define TG3_SKB_CB(__skb) ((struct tg3_tx_cbdata *)&((__skb)->cb[0])) Only base_flags and mss are needed and these can be determined right before sending the frame. So is it better not to store these in the skb->cb at all? @@ -3118,12 +3120,16 @@ static void tg3_tx(struct tg3 *tp) */ smp_mb(); + dcount = tg3_tx_avail(tp); if (unlikely(netif_queue_stopped(tp->dev) && - (tg3_tx_avail(tp) > TG3_TX_WAKEUP_THRESH(tp)))) { + (dcount > TG3_TX_WAKEUP_THRESH(tp)))) { netif_tx_lock(tp->dev); + tp->dev->xmit_win = 1; if (netif_queue_stopped(tp->dev) && - (tg3_tx_avail(tp) > TG3_TX_WAKEUP_THRESH(tp))) + (dcount > TG3_TX_WAKEUP_THRESH(tp))) { netif_wake_queue(tp->dev); + tp->dev->xmit_win = dcount; + } netif_tx_unlock(tp->dev); } } This is also not right. tg3_tx() runs without netif_tx_lock(). tg3_tx_avail() can change after you get the netif_tx_lock() and we must get the updated value again. If we just rely on dcount, we can call wake_queue() when the ring is full, or there may be no wakeup when the ring is empty. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
