When LRO is enabled, the received packet and byte counters represent the
LRO'd packets, not the packets/bytes on the wire. The Intel 82599 NIC has
registers that keep count of the physical packets. Add these counters to
the ethtool stats. The byte counters are 36-bit, but the high 4 bits were
being ignored in the 2.6.31 ixgbe driver: Read those as well to allow
longer time between polling the stats to detect wraps.

Backplane flow control autonegotiation is currently broken for

82599 has a different register offset for the Tx DCA control registers.
We disable relaxed ordering of the descriptor writebacks for Tx head
writeback, but didn't disable it properly for 82599. However, this
shouldn't be a visible issue, since ixgbe doesn't use Tx head writeback.
This patch just makes sure we're not doing blind writes to offsets we
don't expect.

This provides safety against negative optlen at the type
level instead of depending upon (sometimes non-trivial)
checks against this sprinkled all over the the place, in
each and every implementation.
Based upon work done by Arjan van de Ven and feedback
from Linus Torvalds.

This patch fixes a embarrassing bug which was introduced by:
"[PATCH] ar9170: implement frequency calibration for one-stage/openfw"
The phy_data variable initialization has to done outside the for-loop
scope. This is because the for-loop uses u32 phy_data variable more
like a 4-byte field. But in each run only a single byte is calculated.
Therefore phy_data content needs to stay the same for at least 3 more
iterations, before the complete set can be uploaded.

mac80211_hwsim does not start transmitting Beacon frames when hostapd
is started for the first time and restarting hostapd fixes this. The
issue is caused by the config() handler not being able to start
beacon_timer when beacon interval is not yet known and
bss_info_changed() handler not starting the timer. This can be fixed by
making the bss_info_changed() update the timer.

When hardware or uCode problem occurs driver captures significant
information from device to enable debugging. The format of this information
is different between 3945 and 4965 and later devices, yet currently the
3945 uses the 4965 and later format. Fix this by adding a new library call
that is initialized to the correct formatting routine based on device.
This moves the iwlagn event and error log handling back to iwl-agn.c to
make it part of iwlagn module.
Also remove the 3945 sysfs file that triggers dump of event log - there is
already a debugfs file that can do it for all drivers.

We keep track of where to write into a buffer by keeping a count of how
much has been written so far. When writing to the buffer we thus take the
buffer pointer and adding the count of what has been written so far.
Keeping track of what has been written so far is done by incrementing
this number every time something is written to the buffer with how much has
been written at that time.
Currently this number is incremented incorrectly when using the
"hex_dump_to_buffer" call to add data to the buffer. Fix this by only
adding what has been added to the buffer in that call instead of what has
been added since beginning of buffer.
Issue was discovered and discussed during testing of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=464598 .

This is because the driver manages interrupts without checking for
netif_running().
Though, there are few other issues with suspend/resume in this driver.
The intention of calling free_irq() in suspend() was to avoid any
possible spurious interrupts (see commit 5b039e681b8c5f30aac9cc04385
"3c59x PM fixes"). But,
- On resume, the driver was requesting IRQ just after pci_set_master(),
but before vortex_up() (which actually resets 3c59x chips).
- Issuing free_irq() on a shared IRQ doesn't guarantee that a buggy
HW won't trigger spurious interrupts in another driver that
requested the same interrupt. So, if we want to protect from
unexpected interrupts, then on suspend we should issue disable_irq(),
not free_irq().

Now we can tell the theoretical capacity remaining in the output
queue, virtio_net can waste entries by stopping the queue early.
It doesn't work in the case of indirect buffers and kmalloc failure,
but that's rare (we could drop the packet in that case, but other
drivers return TX_BUSY for similar reasons).
For the record, I think this patch reflects poorly on the linux
network API.

We put the virtio_net_hdr into the skb's cb region; turn this into a
union to clean up the code slightly and allow future expansion.

The virtio_net driver is complicated by the two methods of freeing old
xmit buffers (in addition to freeing old ones at the start of the xmit
path).
The original code used a 1/10 second timer attached to xmit_free(),
reset on every xmit. Before we orphaned skbs on xmit, the
transmitting userspace could block with a full socket until the timer
fired, the skb destructor was called, and they were re-woken.
So we added the VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY feature: supporting devices
send an interrupt (even if normally suppressed) on an empty xmit ring
which makes us schedule xmit_tasklet(). This was a benchmark win.
Unfortunately, VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY makes quite a lot of work: a
host which is faster than the guest will fire the interrupt every xmit
packet (slowing the guest down further). Attempting mitigation in the
host adds overhead of userspace timers (possibly with the additional
pain of signals), and risks increasing latency anyway if you get it
wrong.
In practice, this effect was masked by benchmarks which take advantage
of GSO (with its inherent transmit batching), but it's still there.
Now we orphan xmitted skbs, the pressure is off: remove both paths and
no longer request VIRTIO_F_NOTIFY_ON_EMPTY. Note that the current
QEMU will notify us even if we don't negotiate this feature (legal,
but suboptimal); a patch is outstanding to improve that.
Move the skb_orphan/nf_reset to after we've done the send and notified
the other end, for a slight optimization.

This effectively reverts 99ffc696d10b28580fe93441d627cf290ac4484c
"virtio: wean net driver off NETDEV_TX_BUSY".
The complexity of queuing an skb (setting a tasklet to re-xmit) is
questionable, especially once we get rid of the other reason for the
tasklet in the next patch.
If the skb won't fit in the tx queue, just return NETDEV_TX_BUSY.
This is frowned upon, so a followup patch uses a more complex solution.

The complex transmit free logic was introduced to avoid hangs on
removing the ip_conntrack module and also because drivers aren't
generally supposed to keep stale skbs for unbounded times.
After some debate, it was decided that while doing skb_orphan()
generally is a rat's nest, we can do it in this driver. Following
patches take advantage of this.
