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.

88d3aafdae [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctls
For the operations
	get-tx-csum
	get-sg
	get-tso
	get-ufo
the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we
permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior.

This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating
ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had
not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls.

The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone
wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation --
a not-uncommon case.  Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused
for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a
later date.

bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
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.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

The PCnet32 driver always passed the the size of the largest possible packet
to the pci_dma_sync_single_for_cpu and pci_dma_sync_single_for_device.
This results in a fairly large "colateral damage" in the caches and makes
the flush operation itself much slower.  On a system with a 40MHz CPU this
patch increases network bandwidth by about 12%.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

expire causing the system to reboot.  With NAPI the system will stay
operational.

'978.

1f1bd5fc32 [netdrvr] Remove long-unused bits from Becker template drivers

Becker's net driver template, but have been long unused.  Remove.

In a few drivers, this allows the further eliminate of the pci_flags (or

Most of this logic is simply open-coded in most drivers, since it never
changes.

Made a few other cleanups while I was in there, too:
* constify, __devinitdata several PCI ID tables
* replace table terminating entries such as "{0,}," and "{NULL},"

ac62ef0435 [PATCH] pcnet32: support boards with multiple phys
Boards with multiple PHYs were not being handled properly by the pcnet32
driver.  This patch by Thomas Bogendoerfer with changes by me will allow
Allied Telesyn 2700FTX and 2701FTX boards to use either the copper or
the fiber interfaces.  It has been tested on ia32 and ppc64 hardware.
Philippe Seewer also tested and improved the patch.
ethtool for pcnet32 already supports multiple phys.

See also bugzilla bug 4219.

Please apply to 2.6.16

016cc85072 [PATCH] pcnet32: use MAC address from prom also on powerpc
The CSR contains garbage after a coldboot on RS/6000.
One some systems (like my 44p 270) the MAC address is all FF,
on others (like my B50) it is ff:ff:ff:fd:ff:6b.

It can eventually be fixed by loading pcnet32, set the interface
into the UP state, rmmod pcnet32 and load it again. But this worked
only on the 270.

Only netbooting after a cold start provides the correct MAC address
via prom and CSR. This makes it very unreliable.
I dont know why the MAC is stored in two different places. Remove
the special case for powerpc, which was added in early 2.4 development.

4371dc6c60 [PATCH] pcnet32: Prevent hang with 79c976
Some boards using the 79c976 pcnet32 chip will hang the system if the
ethtool --register-dump is performed with the device operational.  The
request to read bcr30 is retried by the PCI device infinitely without
returning data, hanging the system.

Tested ia32 and ppc64.
