NETIF_F_LLTX and it's usage of local transmit locks are depricated in
favor of using the netdev queue's transmit lock.  Remove the local

7dad171c39 vxge: Fix checkstack warning in vxge_probe()
Linux 2.6.33 reports this checkstack warning:

drivers/net/vxge/vxge-main.c:4409: warning: the frame size of 1028 bytes is larger than 1024 bytes

This warning does not occur in the latest linux-2.6 or linux-next, however,
when I do a 'make -j32 CONFIG_FRAME_WARN=512' instead of 1024 I see

a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

with some cleanups by hand.

Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

- Fixed MSIX interrupt configuration to support non contiguous vpaths in

  represent function zero.

- If pci_enable_msix fails for the requested vectors, try with a lesser number
  vectors by reducing the vpath count.

- Fix starvation of receive ring controller when blasted by short packets. This was because the driver was posting 64 rxds initially while the ring controller
was expecting to read 256 replenished rxds. While the driver was coming up,
the internal rxd memory filled up the 64 buffers provided and the ring
controller was left waiting for the remaining 192 rxds to complete the write
back of completed rxds to the host and generation of an interrupt.

18dec74c16 vxge: Fix a receive stall due to driver being out of synch with chip.
- Fix a receive stall due to driver being out of synch with chip. In a corner
case scenario the adapter's ring controller may return a RxD with transfer code
of 0xC, while the host ownership bit is still set to the adapter. The driver
needs to assume that this case where (host_ownership == 1 or adapter) and
(transfer_code == 0xC) is valid, that is, this RxD has been returned by the
receive ring controller but no frame data is associated with the rxd.

- Restore the transfer code field of each newly replenished RxD to 0x0.

- Code cleanup. Removed usage of magic numbers.

92cdd7c377 vxge: Modify __vxge_hw_device_is_privilaged() to not assume function-0 as the privileged function: Resubmit#1
- vxge driver was assuming function-0 is always the privilaged function. Now that
  restriction has been removed any function can act as a privilaged function.

- This patch modifies the __vxge_hw_device_is_privilaged routine to not assume
  function-0 as the privileged function.

- Recreated the patch by incorporating review comments from Dave Miller to
  remove double slash in path names.

451f144398 drivers: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

61357325f3 netdev: convert bulk of drivers to netdev_tx_t
In a couple of cases collapse some extra code like:
   int retval = NETDEV_TX_OK;
   ...
   return retval;
into
   return NETDEV_TX_OK;

ea11bbe0c9 vxge: prefetch skb->data
This patch implements prefetching of skb->data from a copy of the pointer
in the descriptor (which is already in the L1 cache at this point).  This
improves netperf rx performance (netperf -L 0,0 -c -H 192.168.254.2 -- -M
131072 -m 131072) by 4.9% on a P4 Xeon host.

3f23e436d2 vxge: prefetch RxD descriptors
This patch prefetches RxD descriptors which helps to lower the latency of a
cache miss in vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed.  This lowers the % of CPU
time used by vxge_hw_ring_rxd_next_completed() where the descriptor is
accessed in profiling netperf on a P4 Xeon from 1.5% to 1.0%.

ff1b974cf3 vxge: improve tx performance by using mmiowb() instead of wmb()
wmb() is extremely heavy on x86.  The semantics required in the driver are
provided by mmiowb(), so use that and improve tx performance on P4 Xeons by
5-10%.
