If register_netdev() fails now, then we call mutex_unlock(&bnad->conf_mutex);
on the error path, but it's already unlocked. So we acquire the lock in error
path which will be later unlocked after the cleanup.

ce43aa6c14 macmace, macsonic: cleanup
We check ether_type before registering the platform device in
arch/m68k/mac/config.c. Doing the same test again in the driver is
redundant so remove it.

Multiple probes should not happen since the conversion to platform devices,
so lose that test too.

Then macmace.c need not include macintosh.h, so remove that and irq.h and
include linux/interrupt.h explicitly.

Tested on PowerBook 520, Quadra 660av, LC 630.

f26cd41ae5 net/smsc911x: Correctly configure 16-bit register access from DT
The SMSC911X_USE_16BIT needs to be set when using 16-bit register
access.  However, currently no flag is set if the device tree
doesn't specify 32-bit access, resulting in a BUG() and a non-
working driver when 16-bit register access is configured for
smsc911x in the DT.

This patch should set the SMSC911X_USE_16BIT flag in a manner
consistent with the documented DT bindings.

b811ce9104 ixgbe: fix possible null buffer error
It seems that at least one PPC machine would occasionally give a (valid) 0 as
the return value from dma_map, this caused the ixgbe code to not work
correctly.  A fix is pending in the PPC tree to not return 0 from dma map, but
we can also fix the driver to make sure we don't mess up in other arches as
well.

This patch is applicable to all current stable kernels.

5c1e688388 tg3: fix VLAN tagging regression
commit 92cd3a17ce
    tg3: Simplify tx bd assignments

broke VLAN tagging on outbound packets.
It ifdef'ed BCM_KERNEL_SUPPORTS_8021Q, but this
is not set anywhere. So vlan never gets set, and
all packets are sent with vlan=0.

v2: We can just remove the test. vlan_tx_tag_present
is valid regardless of whether the 802.1q module
is built.

Tested on BCM5721 rev 11.

After commit c5f5c4db39 ("staging: zcache: fix crash on high memory
swap") cleancache crashes on the first successful get.  This was caused
by a remaining virt_to_page() call in zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free()
that only gets run in the cleancache path.

The patch converts the virt_to_page() to struct page casting like was
done for other instances in c5f5c4db39.

Commit 88491d8(drivers/net: Kconfig & Makefile cleanup) causes a
regression that netconsole does not work if netconsole and network
device driver are build into kernel, because netconsole is linked

Fixes it by switching init_netconsole() to late_initcall.

22e83a2926 ppp_generic: fix multilink fragment MTU calculation (again)
When using MLPPP, the maximum size of a fragment is incorrectly
calculated with an offset of -2.
This patch reverses the changes in the patch found here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=123541324010539&w=2

The value of hdrlen includes the size of both the 2-byte PPP protocol
field and the 2- or 4-byte multilink header (2+4=6 for long sequence
numbers, 2+2=4 for short sequence numbers). Section 2 of RFC1661 says
that the MRU that is negotiated (i.e., the MTU of the sending system)
includes only the PPP payload but not the protocol field, thus the
correct MTU should be the link's MTU minus the multilink header (mtu -
(hdrlen-2)).

The incorrect calculation causes Linux to fragment packets to a size two
bytes smaller than the allowed MTU. While not technically illegal, this
behaviour confounds MRU-tuning to avoid PPP-layer fragmentation.

cd392f5ca9 igb: drop the "adv" off function names relating to descriptors
Many of the function names in the hot path are carrying an extra "_adv"
suffix on the end of them to represent the fact that they are using
advanced descriptors instead of legacy descriptors.  However since all igb
uses are advanced descriptors adding the extra suffix doesn't really add
any additional data.  Since this is the case it is easiest to just drop the
suffix and save us from having to store the extra characters.

16eb8815c2 igb: Refactor clean_rx_irq to reduce overhead and improve performance
This change is meant to be a general cleanup and performance improvement
for clean_rx_irq.  The previous patch should have updated the allocation so
that the rings can be treated as read-only within the clean_rx_irq
function.  In addition I am re-ordering the operations such that several
goals are accomplished including reducing the overhead for packet
accounting, reducing the number of items on the stack, and improving
overall performance.

238ac817fd igb: update ring and adapter structure to improve performance
This change is meant to improve performance by splitting the Tx and Rx
rings into 3 sections.  The first is primarily a read only section
containing basic things like the indexes, a pointer to the dev and netdev
structures, and basic information.  The second section contains the stats
and next_to_use and next_to_clean values.  The third section is primarily
unused values that can just be placed at the end of the ring and are not
used in the hot path.

The adapter structure has several sections that are read in the hot path.
In order to improve performance there I am combining the frequent read
hot path items into a single cache line.

c023cd8898 igb: streamline Rx buffer allocation and cleanup
This change is meant to streamline the Rx buffer allocation and cleanup.
This is accomplished by reducing the number of writes by only having the Rx
descriptor ring written by software during allocation, and it will only be
read during cleanup.

44390ca6cb igb: drop support for single buffer mode
This change removes support for single buffer mode from igb and makes the
driver function in packet split always.  The advantage to doing this is
that we can reduce total memory allocation overhead significantly as we
will only need to allocate one 1K slab per packet and then make use of a
reusable half page instead of allocating a 2K slab per packet.
