88d7d8b00c forcedeth: add clock gating feature <resend>
This patch adds new logic to support a clock gating feature found on the
latest set of chipsets. The clock gating is performed on the tx/rx
engines when the link is disconnected. Clock gating helps in reducing
power consumption.

* modified based on comments from netdev

1aec5bdfed net: remove driver_data direct access of struct device
In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

93af7aca44 mv643xx_eth: 64bit mib counter read fix
On several mv643xx_eth hardware versions, the two 64bit mib counters
for 'good octets received' and 'good octets sent' are actually 32bit
counters, and reading from the upper half of the register has the same
effect as reading from the lower half of the register: an atomic
read-and-clear of the entire 32bit counter value.  This can under heavy
traffic occasionally lead to small numbers being added to the upper
half of the 64bit mib counter even though no 32bit wrap has occured.

Since we poll the mib counters at least every 30 seconds anyway, we
might as well just skip the reads of the upper halves of the hardware
counters without breaking the stats, which this patch does.

1319ebadf1 mv643xx_eth: OOM handling fixes
Currently, when OOM occurs during rx ring refill, mv643xx_eth will get
into an infinite loop, due to the refill function setting the OOM bit
but not clearing the 'rx refill needed' bit for this queue, while the
calling function (the NAPI poll handler) will call the refill function
in a loop until the 'rx refill needed' bit goes off, without checking
the OOM bit.

This patch fixes this by checking the OOM bit in the NAPI poll handler
before attempting to do rx refill.  This means that once OOM occurs,
we won't try to do any memory allocations again until the next invocation
of the poll handler.

While we're at it, change the OOM flag to be a single bit instead of
one bit per receive queue since OOM is a system state rather than a
per-queue state, and cancel the OOM timer on entry to the NAPI poll
handler if it's running to prevent it from firing when we've already
come out of OOM.

ac7c992cac e100: do not go D3 in shutdown unless system is powering off
After experimenting with kexec with the last merges after 2.6.29, I've
had some problems when probing e100.  It would not read the eeprom.  After
some bisects, I realized this has been like that since forever (at least
2.6.18).  The problem is that shutdown is doing the same thing that
suspend does and puts the device in D3 state.  I couldn't find a way to
get the device back to a sane state in the probe function.  So, based on
some similar patches from Rafael J. Wysocki for e1000, e1000e, and ixgbe,
I wrote this one for e100.

as far as I can see, iwl-3945.o (the only user) and iwl3945-base.o are

f8212f979f ixgbe: enable HW RSC for 82599
This patch enables hardware receive side coalescing for 82599 hardware.
82599 can merge multiple frames from the same TCP/IP flow into a single
structure that can span one ore more descriptors.  The accumulated data is
arranged similar to how jumbo frames are arranged with the exception that
other packets can be interlaced inbetween.  To overcome this issue a next
pointer is included in the written back descriptor which indicates the next
descriptor in the writeback sequence.

This feature sets the NETIF_F_LRO flag and clearing it via the ethtool set
flags operation will also disable hardware RSC.

This patch, both the driver portion and the sctp code was

Copyright(c) 2009 Intel Corporation.

Thanks go to Vlad for starting this work.

Intel 82576 chipset supports SCTP checksum offloading.  This
patch enables this functionality in the driver.  A new NETIF
feature is introduced for SCTP checksum offload.  If the driver
supports CRC32c checksum, it can set this feature flag.  The
hardware can offload both transmit and receive.

	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_int_table_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section xsem_pram_data;
	struct bnx2x_fw_file_section fw_version;
}

Each bnx2x_fw_file_section contains the length and the offset of the appropriate
section in the binary file. Values are stored in the big endian format.

Data types of arrays:

init_data            __be32
init_ops_offsets     __be16
XXsem_pram_data         u8
XXsem_int_table_data    u8
init_ops             struct raw_op {
                          u8   op;
			__be24 offset;
                        __be32 data;
		     }
fw_version              u8

>From now boundaries of a specific initialization stage are stored in
init_ops_offsets array instead of being defined by separate macroes. The index 
in init_ops_offsets is calculated by BLOCK_OPS_IDX macro:

#define BLOCK_OPS_IDX(block, stage, end) \
       (2*(((block)*STAGE_IDX_MAX) + (stage)) + (end))

Security:

In addition to sanity check of array boundaries bnx2x will check a FW version.
Additional checks might be added in the future.

f85ba78068 tun: add IFF_TUN_EXCL flag to avoid opening a persistent device.
When creating a certain types of VPN, NetworkManager will first attempt
to find an available tun device by iterating through 'vpn%d' until it
finds one that isn't already busy. Then it'll set that to be persistent
and owned by the otherwise unprivileged user that the VPN dæmon itself
runs as.

There's a race condition here -- during the period where the vpn%d
device is created and we're waiting for the VPN dæmon to actually
connect and use it, if we try to create _another_ device we could end up
re-using the same one -- because trying to open it again doesn't get
-EBUSY as it would while it's _actually_ busy.

So solve this, we add an IFF_TUN_EXCL flag which causes tun_set_iff() to
fail if it would be opening an existing persistent tundevice -- so that
we can make sure we're getting an entirely _new_ device.

15b8e19131 pasemi_mac: mac_to_intf() error not noticed
mac_to_intf() can return -1 when no device or function is found, but when
mac->dma_if is unsigned. The error wasn't noticed.

fa466e91bd ixgbe: Disallow SFP 1G modules in the SFP+ cages for 82598 and 82599
82598 and 82599 do not support SFP 1G modules.  Instead of allowing the
driver to load, but never get link, rejecting the module and displaying
a useful message is more preferrable.  The framework for displaying the
failure message already exists, now we just need to detect and reject the
SFP modules.

78b1f6070f igb: always use adapter->itr as EITR value
The igb driver was switching between adapter->itr containing the EITR value
and the number of interrupts per second.  This resulted in high latencies
being seen after brining the interface down and then back up.  To resolve
the issue the itr value will now only contain the value that should be
programmed into EITR.
