Stephen Hemminger b3a8a40da5 [TCP]: Turn ABC off.
Turn Appropriate Byte Count off by default because it unfairly
penalizes applications that do small writes.  Add better documentation
to describe what it is so users will understand why they might want to
turn it on.

Jan "Yenya" Kasprzak fb33f82568 [NET]: Terminology in ip-sysctl.txt
this minor patch fixes the description of net.ipv4.tcp_mem sysctl
in ip-sysctl.txt - the headline names the values "min, pressure, max",
while the description uses the "low, pressure, high" values.
Both tcp_rmem and tcp_wmem descriptions use the "min, pressure, max"
values, so I have changed the tcp_mem to match this and not vice versa.

Ron Mercer 5a4faa8737 [PATCH] qla3xxx NIC driver
This is a complementary network driver for our ISP4XXX parts.

There is a concurrent effort underway to get the iSCSI driver (qla4xxx)
integrated upstream as well.

I have been through several iterations with the linux-netdev list and have had
much response from Stephen Hemminger.

- Built and tested using kernel 2.6.17-rc4.

- The chip supports two ethernet and two iSCSI functions.

- The functions ql_sem_lock, ql_sem_spinlock, ql_sem_unlock, and
  ql_wait_for_drvr_lock are used to protect resources that are shared across
  the network and iSCSI functions.  This protection is mostly during chip
  initialization and resets, but also include link management.

- The PHY/MII are not exported through ethtool due to the fact that the
  iSCSI function will control the common link at least 50% of the time.

This driver has been through several iterations on the netdev list and we feel
this driver is ready for inclusion in the upstream kernel.

It has been built and tested on x86 and PPC64 platforms.

David Woodhouse ca6bb5d7ab [NET]: Require CAP_NET_ADMIN to create tuntap devices.
The tuntap driver allows an admin to create persistent devices and
assign ownership of them to individual users. Unfortunately, relaxing
the permissions on the /dev/net/tun device node so that they can
actually use those devices will _also_ allow those users to create
arbitrary new devices of their own. This patch corrects that, and
adjusts the recommended permissions for the device node accordingly.

Herbert Xu 932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

Rick Jones 15d99e02ba [TCP]: sysctl to allow TCP window > 32767 sans wscale
Back in the dark ages, we had to be conservative and only allow 15-bit
window fields if the window scale option was not negotiated.  Some
ancient stacks used a signed 16-bit quantity for the window field of
the TCP header and would get confused.

Those days are long gone, so we can use the full 16-bits by default
now.

There is a sysctl added so that we can still interact with such old
stacks

The performance recommendations in cxgb.txt are common to all fast devices,
and should be in one file rather than just for this device. I would rather
see ip-sysctl.txt updated or a new file on tuning recommendations started.
Some of them have consequences that aren't documented well.
For example, turning off TCP timestamps risks data corruption from sequence wrap.

A new driver shouldn't need so may #ifdef's unless you want to putit on older
vendor versions of 2.4

Some accessor and wrapper functions like:
        t1_pci_read_config_4
        adapter_name
        t1_malloc
are just annoying noise.

Why have useless dead code like:

/* Interrupt handler */
+static int pm3393_interrupt_handler(struct cmac *cmac)
+{
+       u32 master_intr_status;
+/*
+    1. Read master interrupt register.
+    2. Read BLOCK's interrupt status registers.
+    3. Handle BLOCK interrupts.
+*/

Jeff said:

step 1:  kill all the OS wrappers.

 And do you really need hooks for multiple MACs, when only one MAC is
 really supported?  Typically these hooks are at a higher level anyway --
 struct net_device.

From: Christoph Lameter <christoph@lameter

Driver modified as suggested by Pekka Enberg, Stephen Hemminger and Andrian
Bunk.  Reduces the size of the driver to ~260k.

- clean up tabs
- removed my3126.c
- removed 85% of suni1x10gexp_regs.h
- removed 80% of regs.h
- removed various calls, renamed variables/functions.
- removed system specific and other wrappers (usleep, msleep)
- removed dead code
- dropped redundant casts in osdep.h
- dropped redundant check of kfree
- dropped weird code (MODVERSIONS stuff)
- reduced number of #ifdefs
- use kcalloc now instead of kmalloc
- Add information about known issues with the driver
- Add information about authors

archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
