Change PSCHED_SHIFT from 10 to 6 to increase schedulers time
resolution. This will increase 16x a number of (internal) ticks per
nanosecond, and is needed to improve accuracy of schedulers based on
rate tables, like HTB, TBF or CBQ, with rates above 100Mbit. It is
assumed this change is safe for 32bit accounting of time diffs up
to 2 minutes, which should be enough for common use (extremely low
rate values may overflow, so get inaccurate instead). To make full
use of this change an updated iproute2 will be needed. (But using
older iproute2 should be safe too.)
This change breaks ticks - microseconds similarity, so some minor code
fixes might be needed. It is also planned to change naming adequately
eg. to PSCHED_TICKS2NS() etc. in the near future.

Use PSCHED_SHIFT constant instead of '10' in PSCHED_US2NS() and

This driver does not indicate support for frag lists.
Furthermore, even if it did, the code is walking the frag
lists incorrectly. The idiom is:
for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter; iter = iter->next)
but it's doing:
for (iter = skb_shinfo(skb)->frag_list; iter;
iter = skb_shinfo(iter)->frag_list)
which would never work. And this proves that this driver never
saw an SKB with active frag lists.
So just remove the code altogether and the driver TX path becomes
much simpler.

A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with
the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the
broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in
the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct
all the time.
This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip
-- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on
R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory
is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon
erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface
the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its
aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered
when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads
are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same
location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral
hardware as well as software.
Either way this piece of code is buggy.

It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the
a tun device. In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink
but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice
we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already
gone.
The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have
gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get
in tun_chr_close. Eliminating the possibility of the tun device
being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in
tun_chr_close.

skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets,
because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info.
One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0]
Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements,
let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags,
to reduce cache lines misses.

With this applied we can strengthen the partial checksum check:
In skb_partial_csum_set we check to see if the checksum offset
is within the packet. However, we really should check that it
is within the skb head as that's the only bit we can modify
without copying.

Through a bug in the tun driver, I noticed that virtio_net is
producing bogus hdr_len values. In particular, it only includes
the IP header in the linear area, and excludes the entire TCP
header. This causes the TCP header to be copied twice for each
packet. (The bug omitted the second copy :)
This patch corrects this.

Each firmware mailbox command can have a different number of
valid data elements. When waiting for a mailbox command to
complete it the process passes it's element count and
waits for the completion. It is possible that while waiting
an unrelated firmware async event (AE) can arrive. When this
happens, the handler will over write the element count
with the value for the newly arrived AE. This can cause
the mailbox command to not get all of it's data.
This patch restores original mailbox count at the end
of the handler.
