Added support to offload TCP/UDP/IP checksum to the
VIA Technologies VT6105M chip.
Firstly, let the stack know this chip is capable of
doing its own checksum(IPV4 only).
Secondly offload checksum to VT6105M, if necessary.
Verbose Mode:
#1. Define 3 bits(18,19,20) in Transmit Descriptor 1
of chip, which affect checksum processing.
The prefix(TDES1) for the 3 variables is the short
name for Transmit Descriptior 1.
#2. In rhine_init_one(), if pci_rev >= VT6105M then
set NETIF_F_IP_CSUM(see skbuff.h for details).
#3. In rhine_start_tx() if NETIF_F_IP_CSUM is set AND
the stack requires a checksum then
set either bit 19(UDP),20(TCP) AND bit 18(IP).
Note : The numbered items above(i.e.#1,#2,#3) denote
pseudo code.
This patch was developed and tested on Imedia
linux-2.6.20 under a PC-Engines Alix System board
(www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm). It was tested(compilation
only) on linux-2.6.22.2. The minor code change between
2.6.20 and 2.6.22 is the use of ip_hdr() in 2.26.22.
In 2.6.20 :
struct iphdr *ip = skb->nh.iph;
In 2.6.22 :
const struct iphdr *ip = ip_hdr(skb);
Testing:
ttcp,netperf ftp and top where used. There appears to
be a small CPU utilization gain. Throughput results
where more inconclusive.
The data sheet used to get information is 'VT6105M
Data Sheet, Revision 1.63 June21,2006'.
