288379f050 net: Remove redundant NAPI functions
Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from
the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are
exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
therefore redundant.

908a7a16b8 net: Remove unused netdev arg from some NAPI interfaces.
When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter.  This patch cleans up that api by
properly removing it..

babcda74e9 drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.
The generic packet receive code takes care of setting
netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the
bonding ARP monitor.

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers
were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves.

703bb99ca7 natsemi: fix MMIO for PPC 44x platforms
The driver stores the PCI resource address into 'unsigned long' variable before
calling ioremap()  on it. This warrants a kernel oops when the registers are
accessed on PPC 44x platforms which (being 32-bit) have PCI memory space mapped
beyond 4 GB.

The arch/ppc/ kernel has a fixup in ioremap() that creates an illusion of the
PCI memory resources are mapped below 4 GB, but arch/powerpc/ code got rid of
this trick, having instead CONFIG_RESOURCES_64BIT enabled.

the NULL dereference is here:

 (gdb) list *0xffffffff804a9504
 0xffffffff804a9504 is in natsemi_poll (drivers/net/natsemi.c:717).
 712             return count;
 713     }
 714
 715     static inline void __iomem *ns_ioaddr(struct net_device *dev)
 716     {
 717             return (void __iomem *) dev->base_addr;
 718     }
 719

which is this code from natsemi.c:

 2227            struct net_device *dev = np->dev;
 2228            void __iomem * ioaddr = ns_ioaddr(dev);
 2229            int work_done = 0;

seems like the NAPI changes in -rc1 added an np->dev field but forgot to
initialize it ...

does the patch below fix the oops for you?

bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net
device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several
queues.

In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the
structure representing the poll is independant from the net
device itself.

The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from:

	int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget)

to

	int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)

The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or
the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get
abstract).  The callee no longer messes around bumping
dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the
caller upon return.

The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data
structures.

Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI
instances in it's ->stop() device close handler.  Since the
napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures,
only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances
it may have per-device.

With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier,
Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

1a14780960 Subject: natsemi: Allow users to disable workaround for DspCfg reset
The natsemi driver contains a workaround for broken hardware which can
partially reset the chip at unpredictable times, detected by checking for
spontaneous changes in the DspCfg register.  The effects of the hardware
bug appear to be variable and can range from minor problems like small
numbers of corrupted packets to major ones such as the chip becoming
non-functional.  In the case of minor problems the chip reconfiguration
required to work around the hardware can cause more problems than the bug
itself.

Since we have no way of automatically determining how badly the problem
manifests on any given system provide an option in sysfs allowing users to
disable the workaround at runtime and provides a module option to set the
default.

069f825636 natsemi: Fix NAPI for interrupt sharing
The interrupt status register for the natsemi chips is clear on read and
was read unconditionally from both the interrupt and from the NAPI poll
routine, meaning that if the interrupt service routine was called (for
example, due to a shared interrupt) while a NAPI poll was scheduled
interrupts could be missed.  This patch fixes that by ensuring that the
interrupt status register is only read by the interrupt handler when
interrupts are enabled from the chip.

It also reverts a workaround for this problem from the netpoll hook and
improves the trace for interrupt events.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send
out a patch for those soon.

03a8c6611a [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers
When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver
set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was
maintained in the driver source code.  These days, the kernel's
changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver
changelogs are removed.

Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using
"foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like
"1.17b-LK1.1.9".  These drivers are for older hardware, and see few
changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something
more simple.

Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes
the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro.

932ff279a4 [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock
Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.

With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
xmit_lock recursively.

While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.

So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.

I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.

This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
use netif_tx_disable.

The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.
