2009-01-15b44: GFP_DMA skb should not escape from driverEric Dumazet
b44 chip has some hardware limitations, that need GFP_DMA bounce buffers in some situations. In order to not deplete DMA zone, we should keep allocated GFP_DMA skb only for driver use. At rx time, we copy such skb to newly allocated skb, reusing existing copybreak infrastructure. On machines with low amount of memory, all skb meet the hardware limitation, so no copy is needed. We detect this situation using a new device flag, set to one if one GFP_DMA skb was ever allocated by b44_alloc_rx_skb(). Previously allocated skb, even outside from DMA zone will then be recycled, to have minimal impact on DMA zone use.

2009-01-15korina: do not use IRQF_SHARED with IRQF_DISABLEDPhil Sutter

2009-01-15korina: fix handling tx_chain_tailPhil Sutter
Originally this must have been a rewrite error when introducing 'chain_index'. But the original driver did not use the previous chain item everywhere: when altering the address tx_chain_tail points to, it should move forward, not backwards. Also this is not an "index" but rather the penultimate element in the chain, so rename it accordingly.

2009-01-15korina: do tx at the right positionPhil Sutter

The new value is the one used in the external patch before and allows at least a standard MTU of 1500 to be handled correctly.

2009-01-14sis900: generate fake MAC address if the hardware doesn't have oneDaniele Venzano
The attached patch modifies the sis900 driver when the MAC address read from the hardware is invalid. As suggested, the patch now generates a random address so that the user can go on and use the hardware. In any case a message is also shown to warn on the unexpected condition. This seems to happen with newer HW implementation of the sis900 chipset, since this never came up before. Patch is against vanilla 2.6.28 (but the driver doesn't change so often, so it will probably apply to older/newer versions too). See bugzilla ID 10201 and 11649 and ignore the previous patch.

2009-01-13tcp: splice as many packets as possible at onceWilly Tarreau
As spotted by Willy Tarreau, current splice() from tcp socket to pipe is not optimal. It processes at most one segment per call. This results in low performance and very high overhead due to syscall rate when splicing from interfaces which do not support LRO. Willy provided a patch inside tcp_splice_read(), but a better fix is to let tcp_read_sock() process as many segments as possible, so that tcp_rcv_space_adjust() and tcp_cleanup_rbuf() are called less often. With this change, splice() behaves like tcp_recvmsg(), being able to consume many skbs in one system call. With typical 1460 bytes of payload per frame, that means splice(SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) can return 16*1460 = 23360 bytes.
