      [PATCH] tulip: make tulip_stop_rxtx() wait for DMA to fully stop · 9011b4ee

      From: "John W. Linville" <linville@tuxdriver.com>
      
      tulip_stop_rxtx() doesn't wait for DMA to fully stop like the function
      call name implies.
      
      This was submitted through my employer -- I am not the original author of this
      patch.  However, I passed it by Jeff Garizk and he expressed interest in
      having it upstream.

      [PATCH] e100: early reset fix · 139292f2
      Andrew Morton authored
      Gents, what do we think of the below fix?
      
      Thanks.
      
      My IBM A21P laptop is getting an IRQ storm at boot.
      
      IRQ #11 is shared between USB and e100, and USB is getting in there first.
      Consequently, when e100 initialises the hardware, that interrupt line is ready
      to go.  As soon as e100.c runs pci_set_master(), the interrupt hits the CPU.
      But of course the e100 driver isn't ready to handle the interrupt yet, so the
      system disables IRQ #11.
      
      This only happens on warm boots (/sbin/reboot).  Things work OK from power-on.
       So I assume that the BIOS is failing to fully reset the NIC and that some
      sort of interrupt is internally pending.
      
      The patch rearranges e100_probe() so that we issue e100_hw_reset() prior to
      running pci_set_master(), and fixes the problem.
      
      Note that e100_probe() is now running e100_hw_reset() twice - I didn't remove
      the later call for general paranoia reasons.
      
      eepro100.c has the same lockup, and needs a similar fix.
