Joe Perches 7837e58ce3 e1000: Fix message logging defect
commit 675ad47375
removed the capability to use ethtool.set_msglevel to
control the types of messages emitted by the driver.

That commit should probably be reverted.

If not, then this patch fixes a message logging defect
introduced by converting a printk without KERN_<level>
to e_info.

This also reduces text by about 200 bytes.

Joe Perches 57bf6eef2f ixgb and e1000: Use new function for copybreak tests
There appears to be an off-by-1 defect in the maximum packet size
copied when copybreak is speified in these modules.

The copybreak module params are specified as:
"Maximum size of packet that is copied to a new buffer on receive"

The tests are changed from "< copybreak" to "<= copybreak"
and moved into new static functions for readability.

Jesse Brandeburg 2a2ec45dde e1000: fix WARN_ON with mac-vlan
When adding more than 14 mac-vlan adapters on e1000 the driver
would fire a WARN_ON when adding the 15th.  The WARN_ON in this
case is completely un-necessary, as the code below the WARN_ON is
directly handling the value the WARN_ON triggered on.

Joe Perches a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

with some cleanups by hand.

Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

Jesse Brandeburg eab2abf582 e1000/e1000e: implement a simple interrupt moderation
Back before e1000-7.3.20, the e1000 driver had a simple algorithm that
managed interrupt moderation.  The driver was updated in 7.3.20 to
have the new "adaptive" interrupt moderation but we have customer
requests to redeploy the old way as an option.  This patch adds the
old functionality back.  The new functionality can be enabled via
module parameter or at runtime via ethtool.
Module parameter: (InterruptThrottleRate=4) to use this new
moderation method.
Ethtool method: ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs 4

Emil Tantilov 675ad47375 e1000: Use netdev_<level>, pr_<level> and dev_<level>
This patch is an alternative to similar patch provided by Joe Perches.

Substitute DPRINTK macro for e_<level> that uses netdev_<level> and dev_<level>
similar to e1000e.
- Convert printk to pr_<level> where applicable.
- Use common #define pr_fmt for the driver.
- Use dev_<level> for displaying text in parts of the driver where the interface
  name is not assigned (like e1000_param.c).
- Better align test with the new macros.

Emil Tantilov 39ca5f033b e1000: do not modify tx_queue_len on link speed change
Previously the driver tweaked txqueuelen to avoid false Tx hang reports
seen at half duplex.  This had the effect of overriding user set values
on link change/reset. Testing shows that adjusting only the timeout
factor is sufficient to prevent Tx hang reports at half duplex.

This patch removes all instances of tx_queue_len in the driver.

Jesse Brandeburg 9926146b15 e1000/e1000e: don't use small hardware rx buffers
When testing the "e1000: enhance frame fragment detection" (and e1000e)
patches we found some bugs with reducing the MTU size.  The 1024 byte
descriptor used with the 1000 mtu test also (re) introduced the
(originally) reported bug, and causes us to need the e1000_clean_tx_irq
"enhance frame fragment detection" fix.

So what has occured here is that 2.6.32 is only vulnerable for mtu <
1500 due to the jumbo specific routines in both e1000 and e1000e.
So, 2.6.32 needs the 2kB buffer len fix for those smaller MTUs, but
is not vulnerable to the original issue reported.  It has been pointed
out that this vulnerability needs to be patched in older kernels that
don't have the e1000 jumbo routine.  Without the jumbo routines, we
need the "enhance frame fragment detection" fix the e1000, old
e1000e is only vulnerable for < 1500 mtu, and needs a similar
fix.  We split the patches up to provide easy backport paths.

There is only a slight bit of extra code when this fix and the
original "enhance frame fragment detection" fixes are applied, so
please apply both, even though it is a bit of overkill.

Jesse Brandeburg 40a14deaf4 e1000: enhance frame fragment detection
Originally From: Neil Horman <nhorman@tuxdriver.com>
Modified by: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>

Hey all-
	A security discussion was recently given:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html
And a patch that I submitted awhile back was brought up.  Apparently some of
their testing revealed that they were able to force a buffer fragment in e1000
in which the trailing fragment was greater than 4 bytes.  As a result the
fragment check I introduced failed to detect the fragement and a partial
invalid frame was passed up into the network stack.  I've written this patch
to correct it.  I'm in the process of testing it now, but it makes good
logical sense to me.  Effectively it maintains a per-adapter state variable
which detects a non-EOP frame, and discards it and subsequent non-EOP frames
leading up to _and_ _including_ the next positive-EOP frame (as it is by
definition the last fragment).  This should prevent any and all partial frames
from entering the network stack from e1000.

Graham, David fd38d7a0a0 e1000: Fix for e1000 kills IPMI on a tagged vlan.
Enabling VLAN filters (VFE) when the primary interface is brought up
(per commit 78ed11a) has caused problems for some users who manage
their systems using IPMI over a VLAN. This is because when the driver
enables the VLAN filter, this same filter table is enabled for the
management channel, and the table is initially empty, which means that
the IPMI/VLAN packets are filtered out and not received by the BMC.
This is a problem only on e1000 class adapters, as it is only
on e1000 that the filter table is common to the management and host
streams.

With this change, filtering is only enabled when one or more host VLANs
exist, and is disabled when the last host VLAN is removed. VLAN filtering
is always disabled when the primary interface is in promiscuous mode,
and will be (re)enabled if VLANs exist when the interface exits
promiscuous mode.

Note that this does not completely resolve the issue for those using VLAN
management, because if the host adds a VLAN, then the above problem
occurs when that VLAN is enabled. However, it does mean the there is no
problem for configurations where management is on a VLAN and the host is
not.

A complete solution to this issue would require further driver changes.
The driver would need to discover if (and which) management VLANs are
active before enabling VLAN filtering, so that it could ensure that the
managed VLANs are included in the VLAN filter table. This discovery
requires that the BMC identifies its VLAN in registers accessible
to the driver, and at least on Dell PE2850 systems the BMC does not
identify its VLAN to allow such discovery. Intel is pursuing this issue
with the BMC vendor.
