It has been a while since last ioatdma update.
Here are two patches that are a result of
ioatdma sustaining and performance tuning efforts
for both I/OAT versions 1.2 and 2.0.
This patches apply to kernel 2.6.26-rc9.
Maciej Sosnowski (2):
I/OAT: Add watchdog/reset functionality to ioatdma driver
I/OAT: tcp_dma_copybreak default value dependant on I/OAT version

Maciej
Due to occasional DMA channel hangs observed for I/OAT versions 1.2 and 2.0
a watchdog has been introduced to check every 2 seconds
if all channels progress normally.
If stuck channel is detected, driver resets it.
The reset is done in two parts. The second part is scheduled
by the first one to reinitialize the channel after the restart.
Sleep time in self_test has been increased to 10ms
since in some cases 1ms appeared not to be enough.

I/OAT DMA performance tuning showed different optimal values
of tcp_dma_copybreak for different I/OAT versions
(4096 for 1.2 and 2048 for 2.0).
This patch lets ioatdma driver set tcp_dma_copybreak value
according to these results.

Hi Maciej,
When NET_DMA is not enabled this breaks the build. Also, given that
NET_DMA is only beneficial on architectures with i/o coherent caches
this fix up should be done directly in the driver, not passed up to
the common core.

Dan

checkpatch had some valid suggestions, please give it a run.
A general comment about this change it seems to add a bit of
complexity. The driver now has two workqueue routines and a tasklet.
Might some of these be combined? In other words, do we need a free
running watchdog when no descriptors are in flight? It seems that
using a timer to kick the cleanup tasklet could be used in place of
the ioat_dma_chan_watchdog workqueue.

This should be broken out into a separate patch. Perhaps with an
explanation of why it needs extra time for this particular
transaction.
Regards,
Dan

Hi Dan,
Thanks a lot for your review.
I have just sent v2 of this patch series updated according to your
suggestions.
This includes resolving checkpatch issues.

The idea was to run watchdog not too frequently
in order to minimize its impact on the performance.
That's why it is called every 2 secs.
Cleanup is a differnt story and it is called more frequently,
so it would be difficult to combine these two things.
BTW - cleanup tasklet is not used at the moment
(TCP does not use interrupts but polling for cleanups).

It has been separated in v2.

I have modified it in patchset v2.
