Bruce Allan 79d4e9087a e1000e: disable Early Receive DMA on ICH LOMs
Internal stress testing with jumbo frames shows the reliability of ICH9 and
ICH10D devices is improved in certain corner cases by disabling the Early
Receive feature. To reduce the performance impact caused by disabling this
feature, the packet buffer sizes and relevant flow control settings are
modified accordingly.

Bruce Allan 6a92f732f5 e1000e: use default settings for Tx Inter Packet Gap timer
Use the default hardware values for TIPG except for 80003es2lan(*).  The
code that is removed in this patch is either unnecessarily writing the TIPG
register with the hardware default values for some devices (82571/2/3/4) or
writing the wrong value for others (ICH/PCH LOMs).  The only change in
functionality is setting the correct default TIPG for the latter devices.

(*) The correct value for 80003es2lan is already set properly in
e1000_init_hw_80003es2lan() and e1000_cfg_kmrn_{10_100|1000}_80003es2lan(),
and the unused flag FLAG_TIPG_MEDIUM_FOR_80003ESLAN is removed.

Bruce Allan c5083cf6d2 e1000e: convert head, tail and itr_register offsets to __iomem pointers
The Tx/Rx head and tail registers and itr_register are always at known
addresses based on the __iomem address at which the PCI region (from BAR 0)
is mapped and known offsets within the region for each of these registers.
Store and use the full address rather than just the region offset to reduce
unnecessary address calculations.  Also, change current u8 __iomem pointers
to void __iomem pointers.

Jeff Kirsher 09357b0025 e1000e: Avoid wrong check on TX hang
Based on the original patch submitted my Michael Wang
<wangyun@linux.vnet.ibm.com>.
Descriptors may not be write-back while checking TX hang with flag
FLAG2_DMA_BURST on.
So when we detect hang, we just flush the descriptor and detect
again for once.

-v2 change 1 to true and 0 to false and remove extra ()

Bruce Allan a90b412cb8 e1000e: locking bug introduced by commit 67fd4fcb
Commit 67fd4fcb (e1000e: convert to stats64) added the ability to update
statistics more accurately and on-demand through the net_device_ops
.ndo_get_stats64 hook, but introduced a locking bug on 82577/8/9 when
linked at half-duplex (seen on kernels with CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y and
CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING=y).  The commit introduced code paths that caused a
mutex to be locked in atomic contexts, e.g. an rcu_read_lock is held when
irqbalance reads the stats from /sys/class/net/ethX/statistics causing the
mutex to be locked to read the Phy half-duplex statistics registers.

The mutex was originally introduced to prevent concurrent accesses of
resources (the NVM and Phy) shared by the driver, firmware and hardware
a few years back when there was an issue with the NVM getting corrupted.
It was later split into two mutexes - one for the NVM and one for the Phy
when it was determined the NVM, unlike the Phy, should not be protected by
the software/firmware/hardware semaphore (arbitration of which is done in
part with the SWFLAG bit in the EXTCNF_CTRL register).  This latter
semaphore should be sufficient to prevent resource contention of the Phy in
the driver (i.e. the mutex for Phy accesses is not needed), but to be sure
the mutex is replaced with an atomic bit flag which will warn if any
contention is possible.

Also add additional debug output to help determine when the sw/fw/hw
semaphore is owned by the firmware or hardware.

Bruce Allan 5f450212f2 e1000e: convert driver to use extended descriptors
Some features currently not supported by the driver (e.g. RSS) require the
use of extended descriptors, but the driver is setup to only use legacy
descriptors in all modes except for when jumbo frames are enabled on some
parts.  Convert the driver to always use extended descriptors in order to
enable the forthcoming support of these other features.
