cc098dc705 r8169: restore mac addr in rtl8169_remove_one and rtl_shutdown
The newer chipsets (all PCI-E) are known that they need full power cycle
(AC or battery removal) to reset MAC address to a  hardwired one. Previous
patch to address this problem loads the original MAC address from EEPROM.
But it brought other problem for which it is necessary to introduce a new
module parameter.
However, it might suffice to restore the initial MAC address before
shutdown/reboot/kexec and when removing the module.

8812304cf1 r8169: Fix receive buffer length when MTU is between 1515 and 1536
In r8169 driver MTU is used to calculate receive buffer size.
Receive buffer size is used to configure hardware incoming packet filter.

For jumbo frames:
Receive buffer size = Max frame size = MTU + 14 (ethernet header) + 4
(vlan header) + 4 (ethernet checksum) = MTU + 22

Bug:
driver for all MTU up to 1536 use receive buffer size 1536

As you can see from formula, this mean all IP packets > 1536 - 22
(for vlan tagged, 1536 - 18 for not tagged) are dropped by hardware
filter.

Example:

host_good>  ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536
host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536
host_good>  ping host_r8169
Ok
host_good>  ping -s 1500 host_r8169
Fail
host_good>  ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000
host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000
host_good>  ping -s 1500 host_r8169
Ok

Bonus: got rid of magic number 8

05af2142d0 r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d
The 8110SC rev d chip on our board shows a regression which the 8110SB chip
did not have. When inbound traffic is overflowing the receive descriptor queue,
"holes" in the ring buffer may occur which lead to a hangup until the buffer
is filled again. The packets are than completely processed, but the ring
remains porous and no packets are processed until the next overflow. Setting
the interface down and up can fix the problem temporary from userspace.

For some reason we don't know, this behaviour is not occuring if the RxVlan
bit for hardware VLAN untagging is set. There is another "Work around for
AMD plateform" in the current code which checks the VLAN status
word in receive descriptors, but does never come to effect when hardware
VLAN support is enabled. We assume that this is a bug in the chip.

The following patch fixes the problem. Without the patch we could reproduce
the hang within minutes (given other devices also generating lots of
interrupts), without we couldn't reproduce within a few days of long term
testing.

This version contains minor style adjustments and is sent with mutt which
will hopefully not destroy the formatting again.

ca52efd549 r8169: WakeOnLan fix for the 8168
More stuff for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9512

Some 8168 are unable to WoL when receiving is not enabled (plain
old 8169 do not seem to care).

It is not exactly pretty to leave the receiver enabled but we
should now enable DMA late enough for it to be safe. Some late
stage boot failure due to pxe and friends may benefit from the
delayed enabling of bus-mastering as well.

fdd7b4c330 r8169: fix crash when large packets are received
Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )

Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)

When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.

Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.

This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and 
should be backported to stable versions.

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it

f21b75e9d6 r8169: Use a different default for each family
The r8169 driver supports 3 different families of network chips
(RTL8169, RTL8168 and RTL8101). When an unknown version is found, the
driver currently always defaults to the RTL8169 variant. This has very
little chance to ever work for chips of the other families. So better
define a per-family default.

f11a377b3f r8169: avoid losing MSI interrupts
The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event
sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If
not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes
active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not
see a new interrupt.

The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the
NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we
can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all
activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always
ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all
sources quiescent.

3577aa1bd7 r8169: allow true forced mode setting
Due to mostly historic reasons, including a lack of reliability
of the link handling (especially with the older 8169), the
current r8169 driver emulates forced mode setting by limiting
the advertised modes.

With this change the driver allows real 10/100 forced mode
settings on the 8169 and 8101/8102.

Original idea by Vincent Steenhoute. The RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_03
tweak was extracted from Realtek's r8169 v6.010.00 driver.

861ab44059 NET/r8169: Rework suspend and resume
The recent changes of the PCI PM core allow us to simplify the
suspend and resume handling in a number of device drivers, since they
don't need to carry out the general PCI PM operations, such as
changing the power state of the device, during suspend and resume any
more.

Simplify the suspend and resume callbacks of r8169 using the
observation that the PCI PM core can take care of some operations
carried out by the driver.

Additionally, make the shutdown callback of r8169 only put the device
into a low power state if the system is going to be powered off
(kexec is known to have problems with network adapters that are put
into low power states on shutdown).

This patch has been tested on MSI Wind U100.

d78ad8cbfe r8169: reset IntrStatus after chip reset
Original comment (Karsten):
On a MSI MS-6702E mainboard, when in rtl8169_init_one() for the first time
after BIOS has run, IntrStatus reads 5 after chip has been reset.
IntrStatus should equal 0 there, so patch changes IntrStatus reset to happen
after chip reset instead of before.

Remark (Francois):
Assuming that the loglevel of the driver is increased above NETIF_MSG_INTR,
the bug reveals itself with a typical "interrupt 0025 in poll" message
at startup. In retrospect, the message should had been read as an hint of
an unexpected hardware state several months ago :o(

6709fe9a27 r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)
This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.

I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.

Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

355423d084 r8169: Don't update statistics counters when interface is down
Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve
ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in
endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips
need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is
cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics
only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics
grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close).

It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected.

288379f050 net: Remove redundant NAPI functions
Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from
the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are
exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
therefore redundant.

908a7a16b8 net: Remove unused netdev arg from some NAPI interfaces.
When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by
properly removing it..

008298231a netdev: add more functions to netdevice ops
This patch moves neigh_setup and hard_start_xmit into the network device ops
structure. For bisection, fix all the previously converted drivers as well.
Bonding driver took the biggest hit on this.

Added a prefetch of the hard_start_xmit in the fast path to try and reduce
any impact this would have.

babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

e383d56487 r8169: revert "read MAC address from EEPROM on init"
This reverts commit 7bf6bf4803.

The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures
despite some work to amend it for -rc1.  It is not just a matter of
reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac
address is not written correctly back into the mac registers.

Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if
the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1
is not the place where I want to experiment these things.
