Leonardo Potenza 6c04a51508 drivers/net/tlan.c: compilation warning fix
Add a check for the pci_register_driver() return value.  Removed unused
variable pad_allocated.

The aim of this patch is to remove the following warning messages:
drivers/net/tlan.c: In function 'tlan_probe':
drivers/net/tlan.c:486: warning: ignoring return value of 'pci_register_driver', declared with attribute warn_unused_result

Byron Bradley 324ff2c179 mv643xx_eth: fix byte order when checksum offload is enabled
The Marvell Orion system on chips have an integrated mv643xx MAC.  On these
little endian ARM devices mv643xx will oops when checksum offload is
enabled.  Swapping the byte order of the protocol and checksum solves this
problem.

Stephen Hemminger 39dbd9587b sky2: fix for Yukon FE (regression in 2.6.25)
The Yukon FE chip has a ram buffer therefore it needs the alignment
restriction and hang check workarounds.

Therefore:
  * Autodetect the prescence/absence of ram buffer
  * Rename the flag value to reflect this
  * Use it consistently (ie don't reread register)

Rusty Russell 6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
A reset function solves three problems:

1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
   guest driver without rebooting the guest.

2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
   we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and

3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.

So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.

We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

Rusty Russell 34a48579e4 virtio: Tweak virtio_net defines
1) Turn GSO on virtio net into an all-or-nothing (keep checksumming
   separate).  Having multiple bits is a pain: if you can't support something
   you should handle it in software, which is still a performance win.

2) Make VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_ECN a flag in the header, so it can apply to
   IPv6 or v4.

3) Rename VIRTIO_NET_F_NO_CSUM to VIRTIO_NET_F_CSUM (ie. means we do
   checksumming).

4) Add csum and gso params to virtio_net to allow more testing.

Rusty Russell 18445c4d50 virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.
It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.

Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.

The driver should inform the stack when checksum has been performed by
the HW when both IP and TCP (or UDP) checksum flags are indicated by HW.

Previously, it would also inform the stack when only IP checksum flag
was indicated by HW. This can cause data corruption when IP fragments
are used. The IP Identification field can wrap around and cause data
from new fragments to fill into older fragment slots with same IP Id.
The stack would then not perform TCP/UDP checksum (after re-assembly of
all fragments) since driver falsely stated it was already calculated.

Andy Gospodarek 2439f9ebd4 bonding: fix race that causes invalid statistics
I've seen reports of invalid stats in /proc/net/dev for bonding
interfaces, and found it's a pretty easy problem to reproduce.  Since
the current code zeros the bonding stats when a read is requested and a
pointer to that data is returned to the caller we cannot guarantee that
the caller has completely accessed the data before a successive call to
request the stats zeroes the stats again.

This patch creates a new stack variable to keep track of the updated
stats and copies the data from that variable into the bonding stats
structure.  This ensures that the value for any of the bonding stats
should not incorrectly return zero for any of the bonding statistics.
This does use more stack space and require an extra memcpy, but it seems
like a fair trade-off for consistently correct bonding statistics.

Jay Vosburgh 4fe4763cd8 bonding: fix NULL pointer deref in startup processing
Fix the "are we creating a duplicate" check to not compare
the name if the name is NULL (meaning that the system should select
a name).  Bug reported by Benny Amorsen <benny+usenet@amorsen.dk>.

Jay Vosburgh 80ee5ad231 bonding: fix set_multicast_list locking
This patch eliminates a problem (reported by lockdep) in the
bond_set_multicast_list function.  It first reduces the locking on
bond->lock to a simple read_lock, and second, adds netif_tx locking
around the bonding mc_list manipulations that occur outside of the
set_multicast_list function.

	The original problem was related to IPv6 addrconf activity.
