92e32eaee2 cxacru: ignore cx82310_eth devices
Ignore ADSL routers, which can have the same vendor and product IDs
as ADSL modems but should be handled by the cx82310_eth driver.

This intentionally ignores device IDs that aren't currently handled
by cx82310_eth. There may be other device IDs that perhaps shouldn't
be claimed by cxacru.

933d41f1f2 ixgbe: fix TX ring enable issues seen when VMDQ is enabled
The ordering of operations was messed up in the init and as a result when
VMDQ was enabled we were trying to enable TX rings before setting the VFTE
bits. This resulted in a ring that appeared to fail to enable when in fact
it was blocked because the VFTE bits were cleared after the reset.

a1c3ed4c9c qeth: NAPI support for l2 and l3 discipline
This patch adds NAPI support to the qeth layer 2 and layer 3
discipline. It is important to understand that we can not enable/disable
IRQs as usual, we have to use the corresponding new QDIO interface.
Also to not overdraw the budget we have to stop and restart buffer
processing at any point during processing a bulk of QDIO buffers.
Having the driver NAPI enabled it is possible to turn on GRO for the
layer 3 discipline.

d36deae750 qdio: extend API to allow polling
Extend the qdio API to allow polling in the upper-layer driver. This
is needed by qeth to use NAPI.

To use the new interface the upper-layer driver must specify the
queue_start_poll(). This callback is used to signal the upper-layer
driver that is has initiative and must process the inbound queue by
calling qdio_get_next_buffers(). If the upper-layer driver wants to
stop polling it calls qdio_start_irq().

Since adapter interrupts are not completely stoppable qdio implements
a software bit QDIO_QUEUE_IRQS_DISABLED to safely disable interrupts for an
input queue.

The old interface is preserved and will be used as is by zfcp.

e508be174a e1000: fix Tx hangs by disabling 64-bit DMA
Several users report issues with 32-bit adapters when plugged
into PCI slots in machines with >= 4GB ram.  In particular AMD
systems with HyperTransport to PCI bridges seem to trigger the
issue, but it isn't limited to only them.

This issue is not easily reproducible here, yet still continues
to occur in the field.  For e1000 on PCI devices, just disable DMA
addresses over the 4GB boundary when in PCI (not PCI-X) mode, to
prevent the issue from continuing to pop up.  The performance
impact for this is negligible.

The code was refactored to move the init of the hw struct to its
own function. This allows the init to be called very early in
probe, which then allows using hw-> members for this fix.

A slight refactor to the DMA mask code was done for minor
correctness based on the instructions in DMA-API-HOWTO.

cc28a20e77 introduce cx82310_eth: Conexant CX82310-based ADSL router USB ethernet driver
This patch introduces cx82310_eth driver - driver for USB ethernet port of
ADSL routers based on Conexant CX82310 chips. Such routers usually have
ethernet port(s) too which are bridged together with the USB ethernet port,
allowing the USB-connected machine to communicate to the network (and also
internet through the ADSL, of course).

This is my first driver, so please check thoroughly. As there's no protocol
documentation, it was done with usbsnoop dumps from Windows driver, some
parts (the commands) inspired by cxacru driver and also other usbnet drivers.
The driver passed my testing - some real work and also pings sized from 0 to
65507 B.

The only problem I found is the ifconfig error counter. When I return 0 (or 1
but empty skb) from rx_fixup(), usbnet increases the error counter although
it's not an error condition (because packets can cross URB boundaries). Maybe
the usbnet should be fixed to allow rx_fixup() to return empty skbs (or some
other value, e.g. 2)?

The USB ID of my device is 0x0572:0xcb01 which conflicts with some ADSL modems
using cxacru driver (they probably use the same chipset but simpler
firmware). The modems seem to use bDeviceClass 0 and iProduct "ADSL USB
MODEM", my router uses bDeviceClass 255 and iProduct "USB NET CARD". The
driver matches only devices with class 255 and checks for the iProduct string
during init. I already posted a patch for the cxacru driver to ignore these
devices.

different locations.
- The test_link function was changed also as a preparation for the

003212cc59 ibmveth: Convert to netdev_alloc_skb
We were using alloc_skb which doesn't create any headroom. Change it to
use netdev_alloc_skb to match most other drivers.

d2684b5160 ibmveth: remove procfs code
We export all the driver specific statistics via ethtool, so there is no need
to duplicate this in procfs.

ab78df75ca ibmveth: Enable IPv6 checksum offload
This patch enables TCP checksum offload support for IPv6 on ibmveth.
This completely eliminates the generation and checking of the checksum
for IPv6 packets that are completely virtual and never touch a physical
network.  A basic TCPIPV6_STREAM netperf run showed a ~30% throughput
improvement when an MTU of 64000 was used.

This featured is enabled by default, as is the case for IPv4 checksum
offload.  When checksum offload is enabled the driver will negotiate
IPv4 and IPv6 offload with the firmware separately and enable what
is available.  As long as either IPv4 or IPv6 offload is supported
and enabled the device will report that checksum offload is enabled.
The device stats, available through ethtool, will display which
checksum offload features are supported/enabled by firmware.

Performance testing against a stock kernel shows no regression for IPv4
or IPv6 in terms of throughput or processor utilization with checksum
disabled or enabled.

bc4c6f54e4 ibmveth: Remove duplicate checksum offload setup code
Remove code in the device probe function where we set up the checksum
offload feature and replace it with a call to an existing function that
is doing the same.  This is done to clean up the driver in preparation
of adding IPv6 checksum offload support.

0c26b6775f ibmveth: Add optional flush of rx buffer
On some machines we can improve the bandwidth by ensuring rx buffers are
not in the cache. Add a module option that is disabled by default that flushes
rx buffers on insertion.

6e8ab30ec6 ibmveth: Add scatter-gather support
ibmveth can scatter gather up to 6 segments. If we go over this then
we have no option but to call skb_linearize, like other drivers with
similar limitations do.
