Miller" <davem@redhat.com> To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: [UPDATE] Zerocopy patches, against 2.4.1-pre10 I'm back from OZ, and to help deal with my sudden lack of Victoria Bitter, I've made a new zerocopy patch set. You will notice that it is now significantly smaller than previous versions. This is because all of the straight bug fixes and cleanups in my tree made it into 2.4.1-pre10. What remains is purely zerocopy and nothing more. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/davem/zerocopy-2.4.1p10-1.diff.gz If you don't see it immediately, give it a few minutes to propagate. Thanks. I have several bug fixes (from Paul Russell, and Alexey) and updates (from the DecNET folks) in my queue, so if you don't see your favorite change don't worry just yet. There is one critical failure I saw reported with zerocopy, where all transmits basically failed using a 3c59x card. This indicates that our driver checks thought the 3c59x you had supported TX checksumming in hardware, when in fact it does not. Please, if you get this behavior, provide the "dmesg" logs with the 3c59x driver messages, also please provide /proc/pci output. Both things should assist us in determining what we are doing wrong with TX csum capability detection. Basically, this is a show-stopper bug in the zerocopy patches and must be fixed. Later, David S.
