The is does a general cleanup of the drivers/net/ Kconfig and Makefile. This patch create a "core" option and places all the networking core drivers into this option (default is yes for this option). In addition, it alphabitizes the Kconfig driver options. As a side cleanup, found that the arcnet, token ring, and PHY Kconfig options were a tri-state option and should have been a bool option.

Move the COM20020 PCMICA Arcnet driver into drivers/net/arcnet/ with the other Arcnet drivers. Made the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes as well. Since this was the "last" PCMCIA driver in drivers/net/pcmcia/, this patch also cleans up the references to drivers/net/pcmcia.

After moving the skfp driver, issues with the #include pathing to their locel headers was somehow exposed. Several headers had the incorrect path, so they were not able to be found during compile time. This patch fixes up the path issues to the local headers that need to be included. CC: "Maciej W.

Virtual Machines with emulated e1000 network adapter running on Parallels' server were seeing kernel panics due to the e1000 driver dereferencing an unexpected NULL pointer retrieved from buffer_info->skb. The problem has been addressed for the e1000e driver, but not for the e1000. Since the two drivers share similar code in the affected area, a port of the following e1000e driver commit solves the issue for the e1000 driver: commit 9ed318d5 Author: Tom Herbert <therbert@google.com> Date: Wed May 5 14:02:27 2010 +0000 e1000e: save skb counts in TX to avoid cache misses In e1000_tx_map, precompute number of segements and bytecounts which are derived from fields in skb; these are stored in buffer_info. When cleaning tx in e1000_clean_tx_irq use the values in the associated buffer_info for statistics counting, this eliminates cache misses on skb fields.

Patch series 109f6e39..7361c36c back in 2.6.36 added functionality to allow credentials to work across pid namespaces for packets sent via UNIX sockets. However, the atomic reference counts on pid and credentials caused plenty of cache bouncing when there are numerous threads of the same pid sharing a UNIX socket. This patch mitigates the problem by eliminating extraneous reference counts on pid and credentials on both send and receive path of UNIX sockets. I found a 2x improvement in hackbench's threaded case. On the receive path in unix_dgram_recvmsg, currently there is an increment of reference count on pid and credentials in scm_set_cred. Then there are two decrement of the reference counts. Once in scm_recv and once when skb_free_datagram call skb->destructor function unix_destruct_scm. One pair of increment and decrement of ref count on pid and credentials can be eliminated from the receive path. Until we destroy the skb, we already set a reference when we created the skb on the send side. On the send path, there are two increments of ref count on pid and credentials, once in scm_send and once in unix_scm_to_skb. Then there is a decrement of the reference counts in scm_destroy's call to scm_destroy_cred at the end of unix_dgram_sendmsg functions. One pair of increment and decrement of the reference counts can be removed so we only need to increment the ref counts once. By incorporating these changes, for hackbench running on a 4 socket NHM-EX machine with 40 cores, the execution of hackbench on 50 groups of 20 threads sped up by factor of 2.
