ebe42d169b igb: consolidate creation of Tx buffer info and data descriptor
This change will combine the writes of tx_buffer_info and the Tx data
descriptors into a single function. The advantage of this is that we can
avoid needless memory reads from the buffer info struct and speed things up
by keeping the accesses to the local registers.

8542db05db igb: Make first and tx_buffer_info->next_to_watch into pointers
This change converts two tx_buffer_info index values into pointers.  The
advantage to this is that we reduce unnecessary computations and in the case
of next_to_watch we get an added bonus of the value being able to provide
additional information as a NULL value indicates it is unset versus a 0 not
having any meaning for the index value.

7d13a7d0da igb: Consolidate creation of Tx context descriptors into a single function
This patch is meant to simplify the transmit path by reducing the overhead
for creating a transmit context descriptor.  The current implementation is
split with igb_tso and igb_tx_csum doing two separate implementations on
how to setup the tx_buffer_info structure and the tx_desc.  By combining
them it is possible to reduce code and simplify things since now only one
function will create context descriptors.

0603464956 igb: split buffer_info into tx_buffer_info and rx_buffer_info
In order to be able to improve the performance of the TX path it has been
necessary to add addition info to the tx_buffer_info structure.  However a
side effect is that the structure has gotten larger and this in turn has
also increased the size of the RX buffer info structure.  In order to avoid
this in the future I am splitting the single buffer_info structure into two
separate ones and instead I will join them by making the buffer_info
pointer in the ring a union of the two.

b64e9dd5d0 e1000e: bad short packets received when jumbos enabled on 82579
When short packets are received with jumbos enabled on 82579, they can be
interpreted to have a receive address that does not match any configured
address.  This is due to a hardware bug that can be worked around by
reducing the number of IPG octets added when the packet is transferred from
the PHY to the MAC.

0ef4eedc2e e1000: convert to private mutex from rtnl
The e1000 driver when running with lockdep could run into
some possible deadlocks between the work items acquiring
rtnl and the rtnl lock being acquired before work items
were cancelled.

Use a private mutex to make sure lock ordering isn't violated.
The private mutex is only used to protect areas not generally
covered by the rtnl lock already.

This patch verifies that the length of a buffer stored in a linked list

If the size is larger than a max size of a skb, it means that we shouldn't

the user requested.

instead to using page_offset. Add a wrapper to tidy this up and propagate the
fact that the indexes are only u16 through the code (this was already true in
practice but unsigned long and in were inconsistently used as variable and

860502bf68 ixgbe: get pauseparam autoneg
There is a problem in the ixgbe driver with the reporting of the flow
control parameters. The autoneg parameter is shown to be of if
*either* it really is off, or current modes for both tx and rx are off.

The problem is seen when the parameters are read or set when the link
is down. In this case, the driver sees that tx and rx are currently off
and therefore autoneg parameter is incorrectly reported to be off too.
Also, the ethtool binary can not set the autoneg off since it sees that
it already is. When a link later comes up, the autonegotiation is
carried out normally and the driver later on reports the autoneg
parameter to be on (as it is) and then it can also be changed with
ethtool.

The patch is made against v3.0 kernel, but the problem seems to be there
since v2.6.30-rc1.

Reviewer comments: What we are trying to do is to disable flow control
while the cable is disconnected. Since ixgbe defaults to full flow
control, we call ethtool -A autoneg off rx off tx off while the cable
is disconnected. This doesn't work, because the driver sets
hw->fc.current_mode = ixgbe_fc_none if the cable is unplugged.
ixgbe_get_pauseparam() then reports to ethtool that nothing needs to be
done. The code fixes this, but it might have some unknown consequences.

837617a580 ixgbe: do not disable flow control in ixgbe_check_mac_link
Disabling flow control in ixgbe_check_mac_link() results in incorrect
reporting by ethtool when link goes down, so remove it.

217995ecd0 ixgbe: send MFLCN to ethtool
MFLCN register is used to set Rx flow control on parts newer than 82598.

This patch sends the value of MFLCN to ethtool, so it can be used in a
register dump (ethtool -d).
