65d916d953 r8169: correct phy parameters for the 8110SC
The phys of the 8110SC (RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_{05/06}) act abnormally in
gigabit mode if they are applied the parameters in rtl8169_hw_phy_config
which actually aim the 8110S/SB.

It is ok to return early from rtl8169_hw_phy_config as it does not
apply to the 8101 and 8168 families.

d9cc20484e [NET] skbuff: Add skb_cow_head
This patch adds an optimised version of skb_cow that avoids the copy if
the header can be modified even if the rest of the payload is cloned.

This can be used in encapsulating paths where we only need to modify the
header.  As it is, this can be used in PPPOE and bridging.

db7bf6d97c [PPP] pppoe: Fix data clobbering in __pppoe_xmit and return value
The function __pppoe_xmit modifies the skb data and therefore it needs
to copy and skb data if it's cloned.

In fact, it currently allocates a new skb so that it can return 0 in
case of error without freeing the original skb.  This is totally wrong
because returning zero is meant to indicate congestion whereupon pppoe
is supposed to wake up the upper layer once the congestion subsides.

This makes sense for ppp_async and ppp_sync but is out-of-place for
pppoe.  This patch makes it always return 1 and free the skb.

3f7086978f [PATCH] bcm43xx: Fix cancellation of work queue crashes
A crash upon booting that is caused by bcm43xx has been reported [1] and
found to be due to a work queue being reinitialized while work on that
queue is still pending. This fix modifies the shutdown of work queues and
prevents periodic work from being requeued during shutdown. With this patch,
no more crashes on reboot were observed by the original reporter. I do not
get that particular failure on my system; however, when running a large
number of ifdown/ifup sequences, my system would kernel panic with the
'caps lock' light blinking at roughly a 1 Hz rate. In addition, there were
infrequent failures in the firmware that resulted in 'IRQ READY TIMEOUT'
errors. With this patch, no more of the first type of failure occur, and
incidence of the second type is greatly reduced.

a041fe2e8d spidernet: fix interrupt reason recognition
This patch solves a problem that the spidernet driver sometimes fails
to handle IRQ.

The problem happens because,
- In Cell architecture, interrupts may arrive at an interrupt
  controller, even if they are masked by the setting on registers of
  devices. It happens when interrupt packets are sent just before
  the interrupts are masked.
- spidernet interrupt handler compares interrupt reasons with
  interrupt masks, so when such interrupts occurs, spidernet interrupt
  handler returns IRQ_NONE.
- When all of interrupt handler return IRQ_NONE, linux kernel disables
  the IRQ and it no longer delivers interrupts to the interrupt handlers.

spidernet doesn't work after above sequence, because it can't receive
interrupts.

This patch changes spidernet interrupt handler that it compares
interrupt reason with SPIDER_NET_INTX_MASK_VALUE.

2fbe43f6f6 [TG3]: Workaround MSI bug on 5714/5780.
A hardware bug was revealed after a recent PCI MSI patch was made to
always disable legacy INTX when enabling MSI.  The 5714/5780 chips
will not generate MSI when INTX is disabled, causing MSI failure
messages to be reported, and another patch was made to workaround the
problem by disabling MSI on ServerWorks HT1000 bridge chips commonly
found with the 5714.

We workaround this chip bug by enabling INTX after we enable MSI and
after we resume from suspend.

Update version to 3.81.

This problem was discovered by David Miller.

f350339cbd sky2: don't clear phy power bits
There are special PHY settings available on Yukon EC-U chip that
should not get cleared. This should solve mysterious errors on some
motherboards (like Gigabyte DS-3).

1a2b73302a fix random hang in forcedeth driver when using netconsole
If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it
assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ.  It works around the
problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while
holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have
netconsole on the same nic.

This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area.

Without this patch the machine hangs hard.  With this patch everything
still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while
using the nic.
