027ea0416c bonding: fix lock ordering for rtnl and bonding_rwsem
Fix the handling of rtnl and the bonding_rwsem to always be acquired
in a consistent order (rtnl, then bonding_rwsem).

The existing code sometimes acquired them in this order, and sometimes
in the opposite order, which opens a window for deadlock between ifenslave
and sysfs.

	Rewrote bond_parse_parm to handle (a) parameter matches that

0da1b995ae ipg: plug Tx completion leak

Add it to the fact that the xmit handler does not check for

Let's release every pending Tx descriptor which has been given

5dc162682d netxen: fix byte-swapping in tx and rx
Here's the reworked patch.

This cleans up some unnecessary byte-swapping while setting up tx and
interpreting rx desc. The 64 bit rx status data should be converted
to host endian format only once and the macros just need to extract
bitfields.

This saves a spate of interrupts on pseries blades caused by buggy
(non) processing rx status ring.

2e3884b5b1 [FORCEDETH]: Fix reversing the MAC address on suspend.
For cards that initially have the MAC address stored in reverse order,
the forcedeth driver uses a flag to signal whether the address was
already corrected, so that it is not reversed again on a subsequent
probe.

Unfortunately this flag, which is stored in a register of the card,
seems to get lost during suspend, resulting in the MAC address being
reversed again. To fix that, the MAC address needs to be written back
in reversed order before we suspend and the flag needs to be reset.

The flag is still required because at least kexec will never write
back the reversed address and thus needs to know what state the card
is in.

53e52c729c [NET]: Make ->poll() breakout consistent in Intel ethernet drivers.
This makes the ->poll() routines of the E100, E1000, E1000E, IXGB, and
IXGBE drivers complete ->poll() consistently.

Now they will all break out when the amount of RX work done is less
than 'budget'.

At a later time, we may want put back code to include the TX work as
well (as at least one other NAPI driver does, but by in large NAPI
drivers do not do this).  But if so, it should be done consistently
across the board to all of these drivers.

d1d08d1265 [NET]: Fix drivers to handle napi_disable() disabling interrupts.
When we add the generic napi_disable_pending() breakout
logic to net_rx_action() it means that napi_disable()
can cause NAPI poll interrupt events to be disabled.

And this is exactly what we want.  If a napi_disable()
is pending, and we are looping in the ->poll(), we want
->poll() event interrupts to stay disabled and we want
to complete the NAPI poll ASAP.

When ->poll() break out during device down was being handled on a
per-driver basis, often these drivers would turn interrupts back on
when '!netif_running()' was detected.

And this would just cause a reschedule of the NAPI ->poll() in the
interrupt handler before the napi_disable() could get in there and
grab the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit.

The vast majority of drivers don't care if napi_disable() might have
the side effect of disabling NAPI ->poll() event interrupts.  In all
such cases, when a napi_disable() is performed, the driver just
disabled interrupts or is about to.

However there were three exceptions to this in PCNET32, R8169, and
SKY2.  To fix those cases, at the subsequent napi_enable() points, I
added code to ensure that the ->poll() interrupt events are enabled in
the hardware.

when the device is being brought administratively down.

Now that we have a napi_disable() "pending" state we are going
to solve that problem generically.

d987160b71 b43: Fix rxheader channel parsing
This patch fixes the parsing of the RX data header channel field.

The current code parses the header incorrectly and passes a wrong
channel number and frequency for each frame to mac80211.
The FIXMEs added by this patch don't matter for now as the code
where they live won't get executed anyway. They will be fixed later.

c6a1b62de9 [TULIP]: NAPI full quantum bug.
This should fix the kernel warn/oops reported while routing.

The tulip driver has a fencepost bug with new NAPI in 2.6.24
It has an off by one bug if a full quantum is reached.

edba2a1fef [METH]: Fix MAC address handling.
meth didn't set a valid mac address during probing, but later during
open. Newer kernel refuse to open device with 00:00:00:00:00:00 as mac
address -> dead ethernet. This patch sets the mac address in the probe
function and uses only the mac address from the netdevice struct when
setting up the hardware.

3ebebccf89 [NIU]: Fix potentially stuck TCP socket send queues.
It is possible for the TX ring to have packets sit in it for unbounded
amounts of time.

The only way to defer TX interrupts in the chip is to periodically set
"mark" bits, when processing of a TX descriptor with the mark bit set
is complete it triggers the interrupt for the TX queue's LDG.

A consequence of this kind of scheme is that if packet flow suddenly
stops, the remaining TX packets will just sit there.

If this happens, since those packets could be charged to TCP socket
send queues, such sockets could get stuck.

The simplest solution is to divorce the socket ownership of the packet
once the device takes the SKB, by using skb_orphan() in
niu_start_xmit().

In hindsight, it would have been much nicer if the chip provided two
interrupt sources for TX (like basically every other ethernet chip
does).  Namely, keep the "mark" bit, but also signal the LDG when the
TX queue becomes completely empty.  That way there is no need to have
a deadlock breaker like this.
