      ucc_geth: Fix TX watchdog timeout handling · 1762a29a
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      The timeout handling code is currently broken in several ways:

- It calls stop() (which frees all the memory and IRQ), and then
  calls startup() (which won't re-request IRQ, neither it will
  re-init the Fast UCC structure).
- It calls these routines from the softirq context, which is wrong,
  since stop() calls free_irq() (which might sleep) and startup()
  allocates things with GFP_KERNEL.
- It won't soft-reset the PHY. We need the PHY reset for at least
  MPC8360E-MDS boards with Marvell 88E1111 PHY, the PHY won't recover
  from timeouts w/o the reset.

So the patch fixes these problems by implementing the workqueue for the
timeout handling, and there we fully re-open the device via close() and
open() calls. The close/open paths do the right things, and I can see
that the driver actually survive the timeouts.

      ucc_geth: Fix endless loop in stop_{tx,rx} routines · b3431c64
      Anton Vorontsov authored 
      Currently the routines wait for the various bits w/o an assumption that
bits may never get set. When timeouts happen I see that these bits never
get set and so the routines hang the kernel.

With this patch we'll wait the graceful stop for 100 ms, and then will
simply exit. There is nothing* we can do about that, but it's OK since
we'll do full reset later.

* Well, actually, there is also not-graceful variant for the TX stop,
  but specs says that we never should use it.

      Optimize the lightly loaded case, by only synchronizing discards stats
when qlen > 10 indicate potential for drops.

Notice Robert Olsson might disagree with this patch.

      NIU: Implement discard counters · b8a606b8
      Jesper Dangaard Brouer authored 
      Implementing discard counters for the NIU driver turned out to be more
complicated than first assumed.

The discard counters for the NIU neptune chip are only 16-bit (even
though this is a 64-bit chip).  These 16-bit counters can overflow
quickly, especially considering this is a 10Gbit/s ethernet card.

The overflow indication bit is, unfortunatly, not usable as the
counter value does not wrap, but remains at max value 0xFFFF.
Resulting in lost counts until the counter is reset.

The read and reset scheme also poses a problem. Both in theory and in
practice counters can be lost in between reading nr64() and clearing
the counter nw64().  For this reason, the number of counter clearings
nw64() is limited/reduced.  On the fast-path the counters are only
syncronized once it exceeds 0x7FFF.  When read by userspace, its
syncronized fully.

      enc28j60: reduce the number of spi transfers in enc28j60_set_bank() · 5664dd55
      Baruch Siach authored 
      A major source of overhead in the enc28j60 driver is the SPI transfers. Each
SPI transfer entails two kernel thread context switches. One major source of
SPI transfers is the enc28j60_set_bank() functions which runs before every
register access. This patch reduces the number of SPI transfers that
enc28j60_set_bank() performs in two ways:

  1. removes unnecessary bank switch for the registers that are present in all
	 banks

  2. when switching from banks 0 or 3 to banks 1 or 2 (i.e. only one bit
	 changes) enc28j60_set_bank() does only one SPI transfer instead of two

According to my tests these changes reduce the number of SPI transfers in
about 25%.

      netdevice zd1201: Use after free · b88a2a22
      Wang Chen authored 
      | commit 3d29b0c3

|     netdevice zd1201: Convert directly reference of netdev->priv to netdev_priv()
|
|     We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv:
|     1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv().
|     2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously
|        netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv.
|     But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it
|     directly.
|
|     OK, becasue Dave S. Miller said, "every direct netdev->priv usage is a bug",
|     and I want to kill netdev->priv later, I decided to convert all the direct
|     reference of netdev->priv first.
|
|     (Original patch posted by Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> w/ above
|     changelog but using dev->ml_priv.  That doesn't seem appropriate
|     to me for this driver, so I've revamped it to use netdev_priv()
|     instead. -- JWL)

This commit changed the allocation of netdev, but didn't change
the free method of it.
This causes "zd" be used after the memory, which is pointed by "zd", being
freed by free_netdev().
