2009-11-13igb: check for packets on all tx rings when link is downAlexander Duyck
We were previously only checking the first tx ring to see if it had any packets in it when the link when down. However we should be checking all of the rings so this patch makes it so that all of the rings are now being checked.

2009-11-13igb: Rework how netdev->stats is handledAlexander Duyck
This patch does some refactoring work that I felt was needed after reviewing the changes recently submitted relating to the replacement of net_stats with netdev->stats. This patch essentially creates two different collections of stats. The first handles the adapter specific states and is stored in gstring_stats, and the second is for netdev specific stats and is stored in gstring_net_stats.

This patch makes it so that nics such as 82576 and newer can support more hardware queues when there are more than 4 cpus by combining a tx/rx queue pair onto one interrupt so that 8 queue pairs can be supported and thus allow for more queues.

2009-11-13r8169: Fix receive buffer length when MTU is between 1515 and 1536Raimonds Cicans
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 Signed-off-by: Raimonds Cicans <ray@apollo.lv> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-11-13can: Fix driver Kconfig structureOliver Hartkopp
In 2.6.32-rc the new EMS USB CAN driver was contributed and added the Kconfig entry right behind an entry of the same *vendor*. This teared the SJA1000 based driver selection into pieces. This fix cleans up the 2.6.32-rc Kconfig files for the CAN drivers and moves the SJA1000 and USB Kconfig portions into the belonging directories. As there are many new CAN drivers in the queue getting this cleanup into 2.6.32-rc would massively reduce the problems for the upcoming drivers.

Add support for Wake on LAN (WOL) reception and waking the device up from this signal via the ethtool interface. Currently we are only supporting the magic-packet variant of wakeup. WOL is enabled by specifying a second interrupt resource to the driver which indicates where the interrupt for the WOL is being signalled. This then enables the necessary ethtool calls to leave the device in a state to receive WOL frames when going into suspend.

2009-11-11gianfar: Revive SKB recyclingAnton Vorontsov
Before calling gfar_clean_tx_ring() the driver grabs an irqsave spinlock, and then tries to recycle skbs. But since skb_recycle_check() returns 0 with IRQs disabled, we'll never recycle any skbs. It appears that gfar_clean_tx_ring() and gfar_start_xmit() are mostly idependent and can work in parallel, except when they modify num_txbdfree. So we can drop the lock from most sections and thus fix the skb recycling.

2009-11-11ath9k_common: clarify and correct jumbogram processingLuis R. Rodriguez
Jumbograms are frames put together linked together through more than one descriptor. For example ath9k_htc will use this to send from the target a large frame split up into 2 or more segments. The driver then would be in charge of putting the frame back together. When jumbograms are constructed the rx_stats->rs_more will bet set and rx_stats->rs_status will not have any valid content as the actual status will only be avialable at the end of the chained descriptors.

They only differ in that ath9k_htc works with a target CPU and ath9k works directly with the hardware. ath9k_htc will do *some* things in the firmware, but a lot of others on the host. The common 802.11n hardware code is already shared through the ath9k_hw module. Common helpers amongst all Atheros drivers can use the ath module, this includes ath5k and ar9170 as users. But there is some common driver specific helpers which are not exactly hardware code which ath9k and ath9k_htc can share. We'll be using ath9k_common for this to avoid bloating the ath module and the common 802.11n hardware module ath9k_hw. We start by sharing skb pre and post processing in preparation for a hand off to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
