This is a repost of the I/OAT patches, the only changes from last time are refreshing the patches and removing an unused macro that was causing the vger spam filters to drop patch 2/9.
This patch series is the a full release of the Intel(R) I/O Acceleration Technology (I/OAT) for Linux. It includes an in kernel API for offloading memory copies to hardware, a driver for the I/OAT DMA memcpy engine, and changes to the TCP stack to offload copies of received networking data to application space.
These changes apply to Linus' tree as of commit 387e2b0439026aa738a9edca15a57e5c0bcb4dfc [BRIDGE]: need to ref count the LLC sap
They are available to pull from git://63.64.152.142/~cleech/linux-2.6 ioat-2.6.18
There are 9 patches in the series: 1) The memcpy offload APIs and class code 2) The Intel I/OAT DMA driver (ioatdma) 3) Core networking code to setup networking as a DMA memcpy client 4) Utility functions for sk_buff to iovec offloaded copy 5) Structure changes needed for TCP receive offload 6) Rename cleanup_rbuf to tcp_cleanup_rbuf 7) Make sk_eat_skb aware of early copied packets 8) Add a sysctl to tune the minimum offloaded I/O size for TCP 9) The main TCP receive offload changes
