Tobias Klauser 8c2ef1978f net: ibmveth: Remove unused stats member from struct ibmveth_adapter
The ibmveth driver keeps its statistics in net_device->stats, so the
stats member in struct ibmveth_adapter is unused. Remove it.

Thomas Falcon 7b5967389f ibmveth: set correct gso_size and gso_type
This patch is based on an earlier one submitted
by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message:

"We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the
same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was
enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the
one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly.

We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size
which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is
used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large,
it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer
was completely empty."

We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries
environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum
field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum
offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS.

Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer.
This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

Thomas Falcon 07e6a97da1 ibmveth: add support for TSO6
This patch adds support for a new method of signalling the firmware
that TSO packets are being sent. The new method removes the need to
alter the ip and tcp checksums and allows TSO6 support.

Thomas Falcon 9c7e8bc584 ibmveth: Add support for Large Receive Offload
Enables receiving large packets from other LPARs. These packets
have a -1 IP header checksum, so we must recalculate to have
a valid checksum.

Thomas Falcon 8641dd8579 ibmveth: Add support for TSO
Add support for TSO.  TSO is turned off by default and
must be enabled and configured by the user.  The driver
version number is increased so that users can be sure
that they are using ibmveth with TSO support.

Thomas Falcon cd7c7ec368 ibmveth: change rx buffer default allocation for CMO
This patch enables 64k rx buffer pools by default.  If Cooperative
Memory Overcommitment (CMO) is enabled, the number of 64k buffers
is reduced to save memory.

Anton Blanchard d746ca9561 ibmveth: Fix endian issues with MAC addresses
The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the
hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian.

Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr
which does the right thing in both big and little endian.

We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter.
It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the
driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.

Jeff Kirsher 0ab75ae81d ethernet: Fix FSF address in file headers
Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation
in the file header comment.  Resolve by replacing the address with
the URL <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/> so that we do not have to keep
updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

Jeff Kirsher 9aa3283595 ehea/ibm*: Move the IBM drivers
Move the IBM drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ and make the
necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.

- Renamed ibm_new_emac to emac
- Cleaned up Makefile and Kconfig options which referred to
  IBM_NEW_EMAC to IBM_EMAC
- ibmlana driver is a National Semiconductor SONIC driver so
  it was not moved
