7a2469ce4d netxen: cache msi register offset
Store msi target status register offset in adapter struct.
This avoids contention on msi_tgt_status table from interrupt
hadlers of different pci function.

c2d5ab4973 e1000/e1000e/igb/ixgb: don't txhang after link down
after the recent changes to wired drivers to use only
netif_carrier_off the driver can have outstanding tx work to
complete that will never complete once link is down.  Since the
intel hardware will hold this tx work forever, the driver
notices a tx timeout condition internally and might try
to instigate printk and reset of the part with a
netif_stop_queue, which doesn't work because link is down.

Don't bother arming to tx hang detection when link is down.

bf069c9726 ixgbe: fix failing to log fan failures
We weren't logging the 82598AT fan failure if it occurred before (ixgbe_open)
as we hadn't sent up to catch the interrupt that event caused.

This patch checks for this failure in:
ixgbe_probe - So we can log the failure asap. We check right after we
set up the adapter->flags, which is when we know that we have a fan.
ixgbe_up_complete - To catch failures that may have happened between probe
and when we set up the interrupt that would normally detect the fan failure.

To enable all of this we need to initialize the adapter flag with
IXGBE_FLAG_FAN_FAIL_CAPABLE when the NIC contained a fan.

581daf7e00 bnx2: Fix panic in bnx2_poll_work().
Add barrier() to bnx2_get_hw_{tx|rx}_cons() to fix this issue:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12698

This issue was reported by multiple i386 users.  Without barrier(),
the compiled code looks like the following where %eax contains the
address of the tx_cons or rx_cons in the DMA status block.  The
status block contents can change between the cmpb and the movzwl
instruction.  The driver would crash if the value was not 0xff during
the cmpb instruction, but changed to 0xff during the movzwl
instruction.

6828:	80 38 ff             	cmpb   $0xff,(%eax)
682b:	0f b7 10             	movzwl (%eax),%edx

With the added barrier(), the compiled code now looks correct:

683d:	0f b7 10             	movzwl (%eax),%edx
6840:	0f b6 c2             	movzbl %dl,%eax
6843:	3d ff 00 00 00       	cmp    $0xff,%eax

Thanks to Pascal de Bruijn <pmjdebruijn@pcode.nl> for reporting the
problem and Holger Noefer <hnoefer@pironet-ndh.com> for patiently
testing test patches for us.

9ce77666da ixgbe: Proposed PARCH PCIE legacy I/O port free intel 10Gb NIC driver
Traditionally Intel based NIC drivers request I/O port even though it
doesn't need that really.

Intel PCIE 10Gb driver (ixgbe) also requests I/O port but it doesn't
need it either.

This is a little inconvenient situation because sometimes we have to
handle those cards on the slots where any I/O space is not attached.

So we made pach which makes ixgbe driver legacy I/O port free.

computed at compile time, while if NET_SKB_PAD _is_ a multiple of
the cache line size, the code can be optimised out entirely.

Currently queues are stopped when their length reaches their length limit,
but are restarted only when the size of freed range of packet buffer is
not less than the size of the largest possible packet.

This causes permanent queue stop on radio visibility loss in the middle

never freed more than 3 (size of 'best effort' queue) * 288 (ping packet
plus headers) bytes at once.

when device wakes up. In 4965 there is a problem that the data is not
correct when ucode starts using it upon wakeup.

For all iwlagn devices there is a problem where command is sent when PS is
enabled. At the moment there is a locking problem with priv->lock not being
held and thus not requesting nic access correctly.

2bed03ebf6 ath5k: Implement antenna control
* Add code to support the various antenna scenarios supported by hw

 * For now hardcode the default scenario (single or dual omnis with
 tx/rx diversity working and tx antenna handled by session -hw keeps
 track on which antenna it got ack from each ap/station and maps each
 ap/station to one of the antennas-).

6f5f39c95a ath5k: Enable AP mode
After some debuging we were hitting the following bugs so far...

 * Due to huge channel list hostapd couldn't get infos from the driver
 and couldn't set the channel. If we manualy set the channel after
 hostapd starts (by setting channel to 0 -auto), beacons are sent
 but they wont show up on scan because they are malformed (they have
 channel = 0 because hostapd doesn't update the channel info -this is
 probably a hostapd bug so i'm CCing Jouni) and they get dropped. Bob
 fixed this by only allowing standard channels to be registered so
 now hostapd works as expected.

 * Docs (and HAL source) say that we must write 0 on timer0 when
 operating on AP mode to start TSF increment but this seems to
 mess with DBA in many cases and beacon queue never gets started.
 We fixed that on the previous patch.

 We have some more things to deal with...

 * For some reason (hw bug or something else) after restarting hostapd
 a few times, beacon inteval seems to change from 100ms to a sec
 (we get one beacon per sec).

 * We need to set sleep timers on STA mode and enable power saving +
 support PCF.

 ...but i think it's time we enable AP support "officialy" so that
 we can get more feedback from users. I ran ath5k with the mentioned
 patches + hostapd 0.6.8 and AP mode worked fine (it had some less
 throughput on my tests than IBSS but it worked).

428cbd4ff4 ath5k: Beaconing fixes
* Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get
 no beacons + ath9k does it too.  Docs say that we must write 0 on
 this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be
 on the safe side.

 * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's
 why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages".

 * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower
 priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting
 the arblock ignore flag.

 * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since
 it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver
 part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make
 it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag.

 * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for
 a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we
 got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that
 the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting,
 so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message.

 Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-)
