22580f894a drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq()
in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and
can lead to kernel instability.

The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore()
to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

Call trace:
netpoll_send_skb()
{
   -> local_irq_save(flags)
     ---> dev->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev)
         ---> spin_lock_irq()
         ---> spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt.
              ...
   -> local_irq_restore(flags)
}

e92aa634a3 b44: Disable device on shutdown
Disable the SSB core on device shutdown.
This has two advantages:
1) A clean device shutdown is always desired here, because we disable
  the device's global crystal in the next statement.
2) This fixes a bug where the device will come up with the enable-bit
  set on the next initialization (without a reboot inbetween).
  This causes breakage on the second initialization due to code that
  checks this bit (ssb_device_is_enabled() checks).

It's safe to call ssb_pcicore_dev_irqvecs_enable() unconditionally, because

a58c891a53 b44: GFP_DMA skb should not escape from driver
b44 chip has some hardware limitations, that need GFP_DMA bounce
buffers in some situations.

In order to not deplete DMA zone, we should keep allocated GFP_DMA skb
only for driver use. At rx time, we copy such skb to newly allocated
skb, reusing existing copybreak infrastructure.

On machines with low amount of memory, all skb meet the hardware limitation,
so no copy is needed. We detect this situation using a new device flag, set
to one if one GFP_DMA skb was ever allocated by b44_alloc_rx_skb().

Previously allocated skb, even outside from DMA zone will then be recycled,
to have minimal impact on DMA zone use.

4ca857958c b44: fix misalignment and wasted space in rx handling
Broadcom 4400 puts a header of configurable size (apparently needs
to be at least 28 bytes) in front of received packets. When handling
this, the previous code accidentally added the offset 30 *twice* for
the software and once for the hardware, thereby cancelling out the
IP alignment effect of the 30 byte padding and wasting an additional
30 bytes of memory per packet.

This patch fixes this problem and improves routing throughput by
about 30% on MIPS, where unaligned access is expensive.

bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

cda22aa94d b44: fix IFF_ALLMULTI handling of CAM slots
If you set the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a b44 device, or if you join more than
B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE multicast groups, the device will stop receiving unicast
messages.  This is because the __b44_set_mac_addr call sets the zeroth CAM
entry to the MAC address of the device, and then the loop at line 1722
proceeds to overwrite it unless the value of i is set by the __b44_load_mcast
call.  However, when IFF_ALLMULTI is set, that call is bypassed, leaving i set
to zero.

Fixed by starting the loop at 1 to make it skip the CAM entry for the MAC
address.

90afd0e574 Broadcom 4400 resume small fix
Some issues in b44_resume().

- Return value of pci_enable_device() was ignored.

- If request_irq() has failed we have to just disable device and exit.

5fc7d61aee b44: Fix frequent link changes
This fixes the issue of frequent link changes under heavy traffic reported
below:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7696
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=216338

The b44 chip occasionally needs to be reset when ISTAT_ERRORS are
encountered.  The reset sequence includes a PHY reset that will take many
seconds to complete and cause the link to go down and up.  By skipping the
PHY reset, it will greatly reduce the interruption when ISTAT_ERRORS are
encountered.

Change the full_reset parameter to reset_kind parameter in b44_init_hw().
This will allow PHY reset to be skipped when ISTAT_ERRORS are encountered.

d15e9c4d9a netpoll: drivers must not enable IRQ unconditionally in their NAPI handler
net/core/netpoll.c::netpoll_send_skb() calls the poll handler when
it is available. As netconsole can be used from almost any context,
IRQ must not be enabled blindly in the NAPI handler of a driver which
supports netpoll.

b57bd06655 fixed the issue for the
8139too.c driver.

e78181feb0 [PATCH] b44: change comment about irq mask register
Through some experimentation with the similarly built bcm43xx I came to
the conclusion that if the hw/firmware sets a bit in the interrupt
register, an interrupt will only be raised if that bit is included in
the interrupt mask. Hence, the interrupt mask is more like an interrupt
control mask.

This patch changes the comment to reflect that.

6f62768344 [PATCH] b44: fix eeprom endianess issue
This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures.

readw returns the data in CPU order.  With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little
endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray.  See the cast above.  A
byte array is little endian.

The bug is:

Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing
this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array.  The correct fix is to swap the
CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is
little endian.

This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44
code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

2f614fe04f [netdrvr] b44: handle excessive multicast groups
If there are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups in the dev->mc_list,
it will only listen to the first B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE that it sees.

This change makes the driver go into RXCONFIG_ALLMULTI mode if there
are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups being subscribed to, similar
to other network drivers.
