5b54814022 net: use symbolic values for ndo_start_xmit() return codes
Convert magic values 1 and -1 to NETDEV_TX_BUSY and NETDEV_TX_LOCKED respectively.

0 (NETDEV_TX_OK) is not changed to keep the noise down, except in very few cases
where its in direct proximity to one of the other values.

1aec5bdfed net: remove driver_data direct access of struct device
In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

69145635d4 tulip: fix crash on iface up with shirq debug
Tulip is currently doing request_irq before it has done its
initialization. This is usually not a problem because it hasn't
enable interrupts yet, but with DEBUG_SHIRQ on, we call the irq handler
when registering the interrupt as a sanity check.

This can result in a NULL ptr dereference, so call tulip_init_ring
before request_irq, and add a free_ring function to do the freeing
now shared with tulip_close.

Tested with a shell loop running ifup, ifdown in a loop a few hundred
times with DEBUG_SHIRQ on.

1f8ae0a21d tulip: Fix for MTU problems with 802.1q tagged frames
The original patch was submitted last year but wasn't discussed or applied
because of missing maintainer's CCs. I only fixed some formatting errors,
but as I saw tulip is very badly formatted and needs further work.

Original description:
This patch fixes MTU problem, which occurs when using 802.1q VLANs. We
should allow receiving frames of up to 1518 bytes in length, instead of
1514.

Based on patch written by Ben McKeegan for 2.4.x kernels. It is archived
at http://www.candelatech.com/~greear/vlan/howto.html#tulip
I've adjusted a few things to make it apply on 2.6.x kernels.

Tested on D-Link DFE-570TX quad-fastethernet card.

8f15ea42b6 netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-3
We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
   netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
directly.

This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev).
Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read.
But it is too big to be sent in one mail.
I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes,
which is max size allowed by vger.

this bug on an older alpha ev5 cpu. More details are available in Gentoo

the open function never does a pci_enable_device() and assumes that

4bb073c0e3 net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock.  One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.

The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods.  The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.

This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth.  And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways.  So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.

Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

7fa0cba330 uli526x: add support for netpoll
This patch adds netpoll support for the uli526x ethernet driver --
simply call the interrupt handler for polling.

To do this without disable_irq()/enable_irq() pair we should fully
protect the handler. Luckily, it's already using irqsave spinlock,
the only unprotected place is interrupts re-enabling write. It was
safe to re-enable interrupts without holding the spinlock, but with
netpoll possibility now it doesn't seem so.

Patch was tested using netconsole and KGDBoE.

10c6462090 [netdrvr] tulip: Better MWI workaround for 21143 rev 65 chip errata
This patch works around the MWI bug on the DC21143 rev 65 Tulip by
ensuring that the receive buffers don't end on a cache line boundary
(as documented in the errata).

This patch is required for the MIPS based Cobalt Qube/RaQ as
supporting the extra PCI commands seems to reduce the chance of a hard
lockup between the Tulip and the PCI bridge.

48dd59e398 [netdrvr] tulip/winbond-840: don't let tulip.h symbol stomp ours
winbond-840 shares tulip.h with the tulip driver, because they share
many (but not all) of the same register definitions.

This is useful for the register definitions, but not helpful when it
comes to symbols that are shared among the tulip driver's C modules,
but not meant to be shared outside that one driver.

Thus, PKT_BUF_SZ is a symbol internal to tulip, but it was intruding
upon a similar symbol in winbond-840's namespace.  This was not a
problem as long as the two symbols had the same value, but upcoming
patches result in differing symbol values.

209261c019 [netdrvr] tulip_read_eeprom fixes for BUG 4420
If "location" is > "addr_len" bits, the high bits of location would interfere
with the READ_CMD sent to the eeprom controller.

A patch was submitted to bug:
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4420

which simply truncated the "location", read whatever was in "location
modulo addr_len", and returned that value. That avoids confusing the
eeprom but seems like the wrong solution to me.

Correct would be to not read beyond "1 << addr_len" address of the eeprom.
I am submitting two changes to implement this:
1) tulip_read_eeprom will return zero (since we can't return -EINVAL)
   if this is attempted (defensive programming).
2) In tulip_core.c, fix the tulip_read_eeprom caller so they don't
   iterate past addr_len bits and make sure the entire tp->eeprom[]
   array is cleared.

I konw we don't strictly need both. I would prefer both in the tree
since it documents the issue and provides a second "defense" from
the bug from creeping back in.
