97bc477cbc korina: fix handling tx_chain_tail
Originally this must have been a rewrite error when introducing
'chain_index'. But the original driver did not use the previous chain
item everywhere: when altering the address tx_chain_tail points to, it
should move forward, not backwards.
Also this is not an "index" but rather the penultimate element in the
chain, so rename it accordingly.

60d3f9827c korina: do tx at the right position
Triggering TX before the write to the DMA status mask register leads to
transferring packets with maximum payload no matter what the actual
packet size is.
While here, also trigger RX scheduling after writing the DMA status mask
register, like it was in the original driver before it was sent
upstream.

4676f63d4c korina: do schedule napi after testing for it
The called netif_rx_schedule() does all the work for us:
- it checks the return value of netif_rx_schedule_prep() and
- if everything is ok calls __netif_rx_schedule().
Before this change, the driver received absolutely nothing.

a13b27826a korina: reset resource buffer size to 1536
The new value is the one used in the external patch before and allows at
least a standard MTU of 1500 to be handled correctly. Impact of this
change gets visible when bigger packets are to be received, issuing:
| ping -s 492 <IP>
and bigger payload sized led to 100% packet loss.

b96ecfa689 korina: fix usage of driver_data
Using platform_set_drvdata() here makes no sense, since the driver_data
field has already been filled with valuable data (i.e. the MAC address).
Also having driver_data point to the net_device is rather pointless
since struct korina_device contains an apropriate field for it.

sometimes caused the link status to fail: the self-test was running

937f1ba56b net: Add init_dummy_netdev() and fix EMAC driver using it
This adds an init_dummy_netdev() function that gets a network device
structure (allocation and lifetime entirely under caller's control) and
initialize the minimum amount of fields so it can be used to schedule
NAPI polls without registering a full blown interface. This is to be
used by drivers that need to tie several hardware interfaces to a single
NAPI poll scheduler due to HW limitations.

It also updates the ibm_newemac driver to use that, this fixing the
oops on 2.6.29 due to passing NULL as "dev" to netif_napi_add()

Symbol is exported GPL only a I don't think we want binary drivers doing
that sort of acrobatics (if we want them at all).

d1d5e6b1ce sis900: generate fake MAC address if the hardware doesn't have one
The attached patch modifies the sis900 driver when the MAC address
read from the hardware is invalid. As suggested, the patch now
generates a random address so that the user can go on and use
the hardware. In any case a message is also shown to warn on the
unexpected condition.
This seems to happen with newer HW implementation of the sis900
chipset, since this never came up before.

Patch is against vanilla 2.6.28 (but the driver doesn't change so often,
so it will probably apply to older/newer versions too).

See bugzilla ID 10201 and 11649 and ignore the previous patch.

f0d44ae310 phylib: Fix Freescale TBI PHY detection
Freescale on-chip TBI PHYs reports PHY ID as 0x0, but as of

commit 3ee82383f0
Author: Giulio Benetti <giulio.benetti@micronovasrl.com>

    phy: fix phy address bug

    PHYID returns 0xffff and not 0xffffffff when not found and in some
    case(at91sam9263) 0x0. Maybe this patch could be useful.

phy_device.c treats PHY ID == 0x0 as bogus IDs, and that results in
gianfar driver failure to see the TBI PHYs. This code snippet triggers:

	if (!priv->tbiphy) {
		printk(KERN_WARNING "SGMII mode requires that the device "
				"tree specify a tbi-handle\n");
		return;
	}

Although tbi-handle is specified in the device tree.

Btw, technically PHY ID == 0x0 is a valid ID (if we ever see a PHY
manufactured by Xerox :-).

Also there is no point in applying GRO on GSO packets so they

33966dd0e2 tcp: splice as many packets as possible at once
As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not
optimal. It processes at most one segment per call.
This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate
when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO.

Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix
is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so
that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less
often.

With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able
to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes
of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return
16*1460 = 23360 bytes.

859975764f net: ppp_generic - fix regressions caused by IDR conversion
The commits:

	7a95d267fb
	("net: ppp_generic - use idr technique instead of cardmaps")

	ab5024ab23
	("net: ppp_generic - use DEFINE_IDR for static initialization")

introduced usage of IDR functionality but broke userspace side.

Before this commits it was possible to allocate new ppp interface with
specified number. Now it fails with EINVAL.  Fix it by trying to
allocate interface with specified unit number and return EEXIST if
fail which allow pppd to ask us to allocate new unit number.

And fix messages on memory allocation fails - add details that it's
PPP module who is complaining.
