Timo Teräs 81a95f0499 r8169: fix mdio_read and update mdio_write according to hw specs
Realtek confirmed that a 20us delay is needed after mdio_read and
mdio_write operations. Reduce the delay in mdio_write, and add it
to mdio_read too. Also add a comment that the 20us is from hw specs.

Timo Teräs 024a07bacf r8169: fix random mdio_write failures
Some configurations need delay between the "write completed" indication
and new write to work reliably.

Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete"
bit, so it waits long enough between writes with high probability (but
could probably break too). This patch adds a new udelay to make sure we
wait unconditionally some time after the write complete indication.

This caused a regression with XID 18000000 boards when the board specific
phy configuration writing many mdio registers was added in commit
2e955856ff (r8169: phy init for the 8169scd). Some of the configration
mdio writes would almost always fail, and depending on failure might leave
the PHY in non-working state.

Neil Horman c0cd884af0 r8169: offical fix for CVE-2009-4537 (overlength frame DMAs)
Official patch to fix the r8169 frame length check error.

Based on this initial thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1
This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169
driver.  As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance
hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating
the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was
for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any).

Summary:

    A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper
allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too
much data.  This was done in commit fdd7b4c330.  A
long time prior to that however, Francois posted
126fa4b9ca, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize
setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong
frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver.  This was mentioned in a
security conference recently:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html

It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly
noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing
corruption.  As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which
is ready to handle a maximally sized receive.

This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this
patch does two things:

1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force
appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k
buffer.

2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC
open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation
to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous).

Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can
otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure
is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu
such that performance is restored easily.

Robert Hancock 3531768883 r8169: enable 64-bit DMA by default for PCI Express devices (v2)
Currently use of 64-bit DMA is disabled in r8169 unless the user passes the
use_dac module option. This is reasonable for conventional PCI devices where
broken chipsets may not handle dual-address-cycle transfers properly for
32-bit slots and so this may not be safe. However, PCI Express should not have
this problem and not using 64-bit DMA results in DMA transfers needlessly using
the IOMMU or SWIOTLB. Set the use_dac module parameter to a new default value of
-1 which results in 64-bit DMA being enabled by default for PCI Express devices
only.

patch to address this problem loads the original MAC address from EEPROM.
But it brought other problem for which it is necessary to introduce a new

However, it might suffice to restore the initial MAC address before
shutdown/reboot/kexec and when removing the module.

Raimonds Cicans 8812304cf1 r8169: Fix receive buffer length when MTU is between 1515 and 1536
In r8169 driver MTU is used to calculate receive buffer size.
Receive buffer size is used to configure hardware incoming packet filter.

For jumbo frames:
Receive buffer size = Max frame size = MTU + 14 (ethernet header) + 4
(vlan header) + 4 (ethernet checksum) = MTU + 22

Bug:
driver for all MTU up to 1536 use receive buffer size 1536

As you can see from formula, this mean all IP packets > 1536 - 22
(for vlan tagged, 1536 - 18 for not tagged) are dropped by hardware
filter.

Example:

host_good>  ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536
host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 1536
host_good>  ping host_r8169
Ok
host_good>  ping -s 1500 host_r8169
Fail
host_good>  ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000
host_r8169> ifconfig eth0 mtu 7000
host_good>  ping -s 1500 host_r8169
Ok

Bonus: got rid of magic number 8

Simon Wunderlich 05af2142d0 r8169: fix Ethernet Hangup for RTL8110SC rev d
The 8110SC rev d chip on our board shows a regression which the 8110SB chip
did not have. When inbound traffic is overflowing the receive descriptor queue,
"holes" in the ring buffer may occur which lead to a hangup until the buffer
is filled again. The packets are than completely processed, but the ring
remains porous and no packets are processed until the next overflow. Setting
the interface down and up can fix the problem temporary from userspace.

For some reason we don't know, this behaviour is not occuring if the RxVlan
bit for hardware VLAN untagging is set. There is another "Work around for
AMD plateform" in the current code which checks the VLAN status
word in receive descriptors, but does never come to effect when hardware
VLAN support is enabled. We assume that this is a bug in the chip.

The following patch fixes the problem. Without the patch we could reproduce
the hang within minutes (given other devices also generating lots of
interrupts), without we couldn't reproduce within a few days of long term
testing.

This version contains minor style adjustments and is sent with mutt which
will hopefully not destroy the formatting again.

françois romieu 4bb3f52207 r8169: do not bring device down when suspending
Stopping all activity through ChipCmd and blindly acking the irqs
is neither nice nor completely needed: the transition to low-power
mode does enough work and it apparently keeps the device in a sane
state.

Patch suggested by a fix for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9512

The rtl_shutdown path is kept unchanged so far.

Eric Dumazet 87433bfc75 r8169: use dev_kfree_skb() instead of dev_kfree_skb_irq()
rtl8169_tx_interrupt() is used from NAPI context, it can
directly free skbs. dev_kfree_skb_irq() is a leftover from
pre-NAPI times of this driver.

Eric Dumazet fdd7b4c330 r8169: fix crash when large packets are received
Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )

Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)

When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.

Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.

This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and 
should be backported to stable versions.
