Currently the ->ndo_hard_start_xmit() callbacks are only permitted to return one of the NETDEV_TX codes. This prevents any kind of error propagation for virtual devices, like queue congestion of the underlying device in case of layered devices, or unreachability in case of tunnels. This patches changes the NET_XMIT codes to avoid clashes with the NETDEV_TX codes and changes the two callers of dev_hard_start_xmit() to expect either errno codes, NET_XMIT codes or NETDEV_TX codes as return value. In case of qdisc_restart(), all non NETDEV_TX codes are mapped to NETDEV_TX_OK since no error propagation is possible when using qdiscs. In case of dev_queue_xmit(), the error is propagated upwards.

We have two implementations of the compat_ioctl handling for ATM, the one that we have had for ages in fs/compat_ioctl.c and the one added to net/atm/ioctl.c by David Woodhouse. Unfortunately, both versions are incomplete, and in practice we use a very confusing combination of the two. For ioctl numbers that have the same identifier on 32 and 64 bit systems, we go directly through the compat_ioctl socket operation, for those that differ, we do a conversion in fs/compat_ioctl.c. This patch moves both variants into the vcc_compat_ioctl() function, while preserving the current behaviour. It also kills off the COMPATIBLE_IOCTL definitions that we never use here. Doing it this way is clearly not a good solution, but I hope it is a step into the right direction, so that someone is able to clean up this mess for real.

Handling for SIOCSHWTSTAMP is broken on architectures with a split user/kernel address space like s390, because it passes a real user pointer while using set_fs(KERNEL_DS). A similar problem might arise the next time somebody adds code to dev_ifsioc. Split up dev_ifsioc into three separate functions for SIOCSHWTSTAMP, SIOC*IFMAP and all other numbers so we can get rid of set_fs in all potentially affected cases.

Add support for Wake on LAN (WOL) reception and waking the device up from this signal via the ethtool interface. Currently we are only supporting the magic-packet variant of wakeup. WOL is enabled by specifying a second interrupt resource to the driver which indicates where the interrupt for the WOL is being signalled. This then enables the necessary ethtool calls to leave the device in a state to receive WOL frames when going into suspend.

The full_name_hash function does not produce well distributed values in the lower bits, so most code uses hash_32() to fold it. This is really a bug introduced when name hashing was added, back in 2.5 when I added name hashing. hash_32 is all that is needed since full_name_hash returns unsigned int which is only 32 bits on 64 bit platforms. Also, there is no point in using hash_32 on ifindex, because the is naturally sequential and usually well distributed.

Before calling gfar_clean_tx_ring() the driver grabs an irqsave spinlock, and then tries to recycle skbs. But since skb_recycle_check() returns 0 with IRQs disabled, we'll never recycle any skbs. It appears that gfar_clean_tx_ring() and gfar_start_xmit() are mostly idependent and can work in parallel, except when they modify num_txbdfree. So we can drop the lock from most sections and thus fix the skb recycling.

NAPI drivers try to recycle SKBs in their polling routine, but we generally don't know the context in which the polling will be called, and the skb recycling itself may require IRQs to be enabled. This patch adds irqs_disabled() test to the skb_recycle_check() routine, so that we'll not let the drivers hit the skb recycling path with IRQs disabled. As a side effect, this patch actually disables skb recycling for some [broken] drivers. E.g. gianfar driver grabs an irqsave spinlock during TX ring processing, and then tries to recycle an skb, and that caused the following badness: nf_conntrack version 0.5.0 (1008 buckets, 4032 max) ------------[ cut here ]------------ Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143 NIP: c003e3c4 LR: c423a528 CTR: c003e344 ...

This patch rearranges the SIT DF bit handling using the new IPIP DF code. The only externally visible effect should be the case where PMTU is enabled and the MTU is exactly 1280 bytes. In this case the previous code would send packets out with DF off while the new code would set the DF bit. This is inline with RFC 4213.
