2009-07-08igb: set lan id prior to configuring phyAlexander Duyck
The igb driver was defaulting to using the lock for pci-e function 0 for all of the phys due to the fact that the lan id was not being set prior to initialization. This change makes it so that the function id is set prior to checking for the phy id.

2009-06-08net: skb_shared_info optimizationEric Dumazet
skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets, because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info. One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0] Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements, let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags, to reduce cache lines misses.

2009-05-26igb: Record host memory receive overflow in net_statsJesper Dangaard Brouer
Based on previous patch from Jesper Dangaard Brouer. The RNBC (Receive No Buffers Count) register for the 82576, indicate that frames were received when there were no available buffers in host memory to store those frames (receive descriptor head and tail pointers were equal). The packet is still received by the NIC if there is space in the FIFO on the NIC. As the RNBC value is not a packet drop, the driver stores this value in net_stats.rx_fifo_errors to indicate that there were no system buffers available for the incoming packet. Actual dropped packets are counted in the MPC value. Saving the stats in dev->net_stats makes it visible via /proc/net/dev as "fifo", and thus viewable to ifconfig as "overruns" and 'netstat -i' as "RX-OVR". The Receive No Buffers Count (RNBC) can already be queried by ethtool -S as "rx_no_buffer_count".

2009-05-26igb: Implement reading of reg RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count)Jesper Dangaard Brouer
Based on the previous patches from Jesper Dangaard Brouer <hawk@comx.dk> Implement reading the per queue drop stats register RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count). It counts the number of packets dropped by a queue due to lack of descriptors available. Notice RQDPC (Receive Queue Drop Packet Count) stats only gets incremented, if the DROP_EN bit it set (in the SRRCTL register for that queue). If DROP_EN bit is NOT set, then the some what equivalent count is stored in RNBC (not per queue basis). The RQDPC register is only 12 bit, thus the precision might suffer due to overrun in-netween the watchdog polling interval.

Originally from: Vlad Yasevich <vladislav.yasevich@hp.com> This patch, both the driver portion and the sctp code was modified by Jesse Brandeburg and is Copyright(c) 2009 Intel Corporation. Thanks go to Vlad for starting this work. Intel 82576 chipset supports SCTP checksum offloading. This patch enables this functionality in the driver. A new NETIF feature is introduced for SCTP checksum offload. If the driver supports CRC32c checksum, it can set this feature flag. The hardware can offload both transmit and receive.
