7073949720 ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
instead.

For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
ethtool operation.

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
updated.

Using C line continuation inside format strings is error prone.
Clean up the unintended whitespace introduced by misuse of \.
Neaten correctly used line continations as well for consistency.

drivers/scsi/arcmsr/arcmsr_hba.c has these errors as well,
but arcmsr needs a lot more work and the driver should likely be

ab392d2d6d drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers
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.

dd68153def atl1: Do not use legacy PCI power management
The atl1 driver uses the legacy PCI power management, so it has to
do some PCI-specific things in its ->suspend() and ->resume()
callbacks, which isn't necessary and should better be done by the PCI
subsystem-level power management code.

Convert atl1 to the new PCI power management framework and make it
let the PCI subsystem take care of all the PCI-specific aspects of
device handling during system power transitions.

2f32c86721 atl1: fix oops when changing tx/rx ring params
Commit 3f5a2a713a zeroes out the statistics
message block (SMB) and coalescing message block (CMB) when adapter ring
resources are freed.  This is desirable behavior, but, as a side effect,
the commit leads to an oops when atl1_set_ringparam() attempts to alter
the number of rx or tx elements in the ring buffer (by using ethtool
-G, for example).  We don't want SMB or CMB to change during this
operation.

Modify atl1_set_ringparam() to preserve SMB and CMB when changing ring
parameters.

eab6d18d20 vlan: Don't check for vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present.
Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb.  There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances.  However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.

There is now a net_device_stats structure inside net_device that should
be used if possible by devices. Compile tested only.

dc5596d920 atl1: fix vlan tag regression
Commit 401c0aabec introduced a regression
in the atl1 driver by storing the VLAN tag in the wrong TX descriptor
field.

This patch causes the VLAN tag to be stored in its proper location.

82c26a9d11 atl1: disable TSO by default
The atl1 driver is causing stalled connections and file corruption
whenever TSO is enabled.  Two examples are here:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/15/325
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/18/543

Disable TSO by default until we can determine the source of the
problem.

c2ac3ef35c atl1: deal with hardware rx checksum bug
The L1 hardware contains a bug that flags a fragmented IP packet
as having an incorrect TCP/UDP checksum, even though the packet
is perfectly valid and its checksum is correct.  There's no way to
distinguish between one of these good packets and a packet that
actually contains a TCP/UDP checksum error, so all we can do is
allow the packet to be handed up to the higher layers and let it
be sorted out there.

Add a comment describing this condition and remove the code that
currently fails to handle what may or may not be a checksum error.
