====================
This series contains updates to e1000e, igb and ixgbe.
There are 2 patches in this series which could be applied to net,
but since Linus is so very close to releasing 3.9, I do not think
it prudent to try and push these into net at this time. I have CC'd
stable on these patches so that they can queue them up as soon as
3.9 gets released.
The 2 patches are:
e1000e: fix numeric overflow in phc settime method
ixgbe: fix EICR write in ixgbe_msix_other
Richard provides a fix for e1000e by using a helper function from time.h
to resolve a unintended overflow in the PTP settime function.
Bruce provides a fix to wait for NAPI to be done with the current context
after disabling interrupts and then disable NAPI when the interface
is going down. This fixes a possible "unable to handle kernel paging
request" panic in net-next.
Andi Kleen provides a patch for igb to use mdelay instead of udelay
when we needed 100000us.
Jacob provides a fix for ixgbe to simply mask the lower 16bits off so that
ixgbe_msix_other does not write them in the EICR, which causes them to
remain high and be properly handled by the clean_rings interrupt routine
as normal.
Emil cleans up the logic in ixgbe_setup_loopback_test() to only access
registers applicable to the MAC type. In addition, removes majority
of the AUTOC register reads by using a cached value instead to avoid
writing corrupted values to AUTOC due to bad FW. Emil also add support
for disabling link during boot time. Lastly, he provides a patch which
adds the MAC type to the version in ethtool_regs which will make it
easier to check the MAC type when dumping registers with ethtool.
There is a separate ethtool tool patch which is dependent upon Emil's
last patch of the series to add the MAC type to the version in
ethtool_regs, which will be sent separately.
