0fe7463a35 TI DaVinci EMAC: Clear statistics register properly.
The mechanism to clear the statistics register is dependent
on the status of GMIIEN bit in MAC control register. If the
GMIIEN bit is set, the stats registers are write to decrement.
If the GMIIEN bit is cleared, the stats registers are plain
read/write registers. The stats register clearing operation
must take into account the current state of GMIIEN as it
can be cleared when the interface is brought down.

With existing implementation logic, querying for interface stats
when the interface is down, can corrupt the statistics counters.
This patch examines the GMIIEN bit status in MAC_CONTROL
register before choosing an appropriate mask for clearing stats
registers.

1f5e055db3 netxen: remove sub 64-bit mem accesses
Sub 64-bit / unaligned access to oncard memory was only used
by old diagnostic tools, causes some intermittent issues when
memory controller agent is used.  The new access method was
added by commit ea6828b8aa
("netxen: improve pci memory access").  Firmware init anyway
uses 8-byte strides.

This also fixes address/offset calculation for NX2031 context
memory (SIU). For NX3031, SIU uses same register offsets
as packet memory (MIU).

a6e4bc5304 can: make the number of echo skb's configurable
This patch allows the CAN controller driver to define the number of echo
skb's used for the local loopback (echo), as suggested by Kurt Van
Dijck, with the function:

  struct net_device *alloc_candev(int sizeof_priv,
                                  unsigned int echo_skb_max);

The CAN drivers have been adapted accordingly. For the ems_usb driver,
as suggested by Sebastian Haas, the number of echo skb's has been
increased to 10, which improves the transmission performance a lot.

6d01a026b7 tcp: fix tcp_defer_accept to consider the timeout
I was trying to use TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT and noticed that if the
client does not talk, the connection is never accepted and
remains in SYN_RECV state until the retransmits expire, where
it finally is deleted. This is bad when some firewall such as
netfilter sits between the client and the server because the
firewall sees the connection in ESTABLISHED state while the
server will finally silently drop it without sending an RST.

This behaviour contradicts the man page which says it should
wait only for some time :

       TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT (since Linux 2.4)
          Allows a listener to be awakened only when data arrives
          on the socket.  Takes an integer value  (seconds), this
          can  bound  the  maximum  number  of attempts TCP will
          make to complete the connection. This option should not
          be used in code intended to be portable.

Also, looking at ipv4/tcp.c, a retransmit counter is correctly
computed :

        case TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT:
                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept = 0;
                if (val > 0) {
                        /* Translate value in seconds to number of
                         * retransmits */
                        while (icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept < 32 &&
                               val > ((TCP_TIMEOUT_INIT / HZ) <<
                                       icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept))
                                icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                        icsk->icsk_accept_queue.rskq_defer_accept++;
                }
                break;

==> rskq_defer_accept is used as a counter of retransmits.

But in tcp_minisocks.c, this counter is only checked. And in
fact, I have found no location which updates it. So I think
that what was intended was to decrease it in tcp_minisocks
whenever it is checked, which the trivial patch below does.

our refusing to use pause frames.

We should instead set the advertising flags according to the forced
mode so that the link partner can follow our lead.  This is consistent
with the behaviour of other drivers.

Two new functions implemented: gfar_alloc_skb_resources() and
gfar_init_mac(). We'll use gfar_init_mac() for restoring after
hibernation.

The patch just moves the code around, there should be no functional
changes.

14231176b0 gianfar: Don't needlessly set the wrap bit for the last RX BD
startup_gfar() sets the wrap bit for the last rxbd just after
gfar_new_rxbdp() call, which is issued for all rxbds. And
gfar_new_rxbdp() has the following check already:

	if (bdp == priv->rx_bd_base + priv->rx_ring_size - 1)
		lstatus |= BD_LFLAG(RXBD_WRAP);

So we don't need to set the bit again.

e69edd2181 gianfar: Simplify skb resources freeing code
Remove dma_free_coherent() from stop_gfar() and gfar_start() calls,
place it into free_skb_resources(). That makes SKB resources management
more understandable, plus free_skb_resources() will be used as a cleanup
routine for gfar_alloc_skb_resources() that will be implemented soon.

ccc05c6e1e gianfar: Some cleanups for startup_gfar()
We're going to split the startup_gfar() into 3 separate functions,
so let's cleanup the code a little bit so that cosmetic changes
won't distract attention from logical ones.

- Remove needless casts (e.g. (struct sk_buff **)kmalloc());
- Turn 'unsigned long vaddr;' into 'void *vaddr', to avoid casting;
- Add new 'struct device *dev' variable as a shorthand for
  '&priv->ofdev->dev' that is used all over the place, also rename
  'struct net_device *dev' to 'struct net_device *ndev';
- Turn printk(KERN_ERR ...) to pr_err(...), which is shorter;
- Don't return bogus -1 (i.e. -EPERM) when request_irq() fails;
- Turn '&priv->regs->' to just '&regs->'.

a2e2725541 net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall
Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.

This takes into account comments made by:

. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
  sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.

. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
  works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.

  If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
  will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
  one) it has received so far.

. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
  datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
  the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
  in the next call.

This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.
