^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 6) * 10/1/97 - commented out CFG_PHYIE bit - we don't care when the PHY
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 7) * interrupts us (except possibly for removal/insertion of the cable?)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 8) * 10/4/97 - began heavy inline documentation of the code. Corrected typos
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 9) * and spelling mistakes.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 10) * 10/5/97 - added code to handle PHY interrupts, disable PHY on
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 11) * loss of link, and correctly re-enable PHY when link is
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 12) * re-established. (put back CFG_PHYIE)

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 14) * Modified to work with the IDT7721 nicstar -- AAL5 (tested) only.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 18) * Linux driver for the IDT77201 NICStAR PCI ATM controller.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 19) * PHY component is expected to be 155 Mbps S/UNI-Lite or IDT 77155;
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 20) * see init_nicstar() for PHY initialization to change this. This driver
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 21) * expects the Linux ATM stack to support scatter-gather lists
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 22) * (skb->atm.iovcnt != 0) for Rx skb's passed to vcc->push.

^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 24) * Implementing minimal-copy of received data:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 25) * IDT always receives data into a small buffer, then large buffers
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 26) * as needed. This means that data must always be copied to create
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 27) * the linear buffer needed by most non-ATM protocol stacks (e.g. IP)
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 28) * Fix is simple: make large buffers large enough to hold entire
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 29) * SDU, and leave <small_buffer_data> bytes empty at the start. Then
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 30) * copy small buffer contents to head of large buffer.
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 31) * Trick is to avoid fragmenting Linux, due to need for a lot of large
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 32) * buffers. This is done by 2 things:
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 33) * 1) skb->destructor / skb->atm.recycle_buffer
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 34) * combined, allow nicstar_free_rx_skb to be called to
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 35) * recycle large data buffers
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 36) * 2) skb_clone of received buffers
^8f3ce5b39 (kx 2023-10-28 12:00:06 +0300 37) * See nicstar_free_rx_skb and linearize_buffer for implementation
