摘要： A method and system for substantially avoiding loss of data and enabling continuing connection to the application during an MTU size changing operation in an active network computing device. Logic is added to the device driver, which logic provides several enhancements to the MTU size changing operation/process. Among these enhancements are: (1) logic for temporarily pausing the data coming in from the linked partner while changing the MTU size; (2) logic for returning a “device busy” status to higher-protocol transmit requests during the MTU size changing process. This second logic prevents the application from issuing new requests until the busy signal is removed; and (3) logic for enabling resumption of both flows when the MTU size change is completed. With this new logic, the device driver/adapter does not have any transmit and receive packets to process for a short period of time, while the MTU size change is ongoing.

摘要： A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed in a data processing system for avoiding data loss during network port recovery. A first network port is linked to a second network port via a network. The second network port transmits data to the first network port via the network. A determination is made that the first network port needs to be reinitialized. Prior to the first network port executing a re-initialization process, the first network port notifies the second network port to pause its data transmissions to the first network port.

摘要： Method, system and computer program product for protecting the integrity of data transferred between an input/output bus of a data processing system and an external network. A method for protecting the integrity of data transferred between an input/output bus and a network includes generating a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) value on an interface between the input/output bus and an adapter for data being transferred from the input/output bus to the network, and checking a CRC value on the interface between the input/output bus and the adapter for data being transferred from the network to the input/output bus. By adding a CRC generator and a CRC checker on the interface between the input/output bus and the adapter, end-to-end data integrity protection is provided for data transferred between the input/output bus and the network.

摘要： A number of DMA addresses are resolved to system memory addresses at a time to decrease latency time. The number of addresses resolved at a time is preferably correlated to the number of DMA addresses that can be stored in a single cache line. Additionally, system memory is allocated in larger blocks that can store all of the information from the DMA addresses in a cache line. No change is required to the operating system, which can continue to operate on the page size it is set for. All changes are made in the hardware mapping programs and in the device driver software.

摘要翻译： 一次DMA地址一次解析为系统内存地址，以减少延迟时间。 一次解析的地址的数量优选地与可以存储在单个高速缓存行中的DMA地址的数量相关。 另外，系统存储器被分配在较大的块中，其可以存储来自高速缓存行中的DMA地址的所有信息。 操作系统不需要更改，可以根据设置的页面大小继续操作。 所有更改都在硬件映射程序和设备驱动程序软件中进行。
