The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed.
Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the
type of entropy source it is.
drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for
devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced
with these add_*_randomness exported functions.
Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of
entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can
be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the
entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq
mitigation and NAPI.
If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false
sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good
sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or
feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy
such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

On a busy network, the macb driver could get stuck in the interrupt
handler, quickly triggering the watchdog, due to a confluence of
factors:
1. macb_poll re-enables interrupts unconditionally, even when it will
be called again because it exhausted its rx budget
2. macb_interrupt only disables interrupts after scheduling
macb_poll, but scheduling fails when macb_poll is already scheduled
because it didn't call napi_complete
3. macb_interrupt loops until the interrupt status register is clear,
which will never happen in this case if the driver doesn't disable
the RX interrupt
Since macb_interrupt runs in interrupt context, this effectively locks
up the machine, triggering the hardware watchdog.
This issue was readily reproducible on a flooded network with a
modified 2.6.27.48 kernel. The same problem appears to still be in the
2.6.36-rc8 driver code, so I am submitting this patch against that
version. I have not tested this version of the patch except to make
sure the kernel compiles.

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API
callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel
instability.
The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from
getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().
A functions set:
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()

Suppose that we receive lots of frames, start processing them, but
exhaust our budget so that we return before we had a chance to look
at all of them.
Then, when the network layer calls us again, we will only continue
processing the buffers if the REC bit was set in the mean time, which it
might not be if there was a brief pause in the flow of packets. If this
happens, we'll simply display a warning and call netif_rx_complete()
with potentially lots of unprocessed packets in the RX ring...
Fix this by scanning the ring no matter what flags are set in the
interrupt status register.

In rare cases when an underrun occur, all macb buffers where consumed
and the netif_queue was stopped infinitely. This happens then the TGO
(transfer ongoing) bit in the TSR is set (and UND). It seems like
clening up after the underrun makes the driver and the macb hardware
end up in an inconsistent state. The result of this is that in the
following calls to macb_tx no TX buffers are released -> the
netif_queue was stopped, and never woken up again.
The solution is to disable the transmitter, if TGO is set, before
clening up after the underrun, and re-enable the transmitter when the
cleaning up is done.

^ The same as above, but these were also needlessly calling

macb devices are only found integrated on SoCs, so they can't be

platform_driver_register(), there won't be any references to the
discarded probe() function after the driver has loaded.
This also fixes a section mismatch due to macb_probe(), defined as

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.
In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.
The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:
int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)
to
int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.
The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.
Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.
