Manfred Spraul a7475906bc forcedeth msi bugfix
pci_enable_msi() replaces the INTx irq number in pci_dev->irq with the
new MSI irq number.
The forcedeth driver did not update the copy in netdevice->irq and
parts of the driver used the stale copy.
See bugzilla.kernel.org, bug 9047.

The patch
- updates netdevice->irq
- replaces all accesses to netdevice->irq with pci_dev->irq.

The patch is against 2.6.23.1. IMHO suitable for both 2.6.23 and 2.6.24

Jeff Garzik 3f88ce495b [netdrvr] forcedeth: improved probe info; dev_printk() cleanups
main change:
* greatly improve per-NIC probe diagnostic output.  Similar to other
  net drivers, print out MAC address, PHY info, and various hardware and
  software flags that may be relevant.

other changes:
* similar to other net drivers, only print the initial version message
  when we have found at least one board.

* don't bother to print error message when pci_enable_device() fails,
  it will do so for us.

* use dev_printk() rather than printk() in nv_probe().  This gives
  use a standardized output similar to the rest of the kernel, and
  eliminates the need to manually print out PCI bus id.

* use DRV_NAME constant where appropriate

* clean struct pci_driver indentation

Jeff Garzik 88d3aafdae [ETHTOOL] Provide default behaviors for a few ethtool sub-ioctls
For the operations
	get-tx-csum
	get-sg
	get-tso
	get-ufo
the default ethtool_op_xxx behavior is fine for all drivers, so we
permit op==NULL to imply the default behavior.

This provides a more uniform behavior across all drivers, eliminating
ethtool(8) "ioctl not supported" errors on older drivers that had
not been updated for the latest sub-ioctls.

The ethtool_op_xxx() functions are left exported, in case anyone
wishes to call them directly from a driver-private implementation --
a not-uncommon case.  Should an ethtool_op_xxx() helper remain unused
for a while, except by net/core/ethtool.c, we can un-export it at a
later date.

Stephen Hemminger bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

Timo Jantunen 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.

Auke Kok 44c10138fd PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revision
Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.

This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.

In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

Arjan van de Ven 1d39ed565c remove NETIF_F_TSO ifdefery
Remove the NETIF_F_TSO #ifdef-ery in drivers/net; this was
for old-old-2.4 compat (even current 2.4 has NETIF_F_TSO)
but it's time to get rid of it by now.

Francois Romieu d15e9c4d9a netpoll: drivers must not enable IRQ unconditionally in their NAPI handler
net/core/netpoll.c::netpoll_send_skb() calls the poll handler when
it is available. As netconsole can be used from almost any context,
IRQ must not be enabled blindly in the NAPI handler of a driver which
supports netpoll.

b57bd06655 fixed the issue for the
8139too.c driver.
