Joakim Tjernlund 9030b3dd67 Fix ethernet multicast for ucc_geth.
hw_add_addr_in_hash() already swaps byte
order, don't do it in ucc_geth_set_multi() too.

Jan-Bernd Themann 2a6f4e4983 ehea: add kexec support
eHEA resources that are allocated via H_CALLs have a unique identifier each.
These identifiers are necessary to free the resources. A reboot notifier
is used to free all eHEA resources before the indentifiers get lost, i.e
before kexec starts a new kernel.

Auke Kok 140a748028 e1000e: Re-enable SECRC - crc stripping
This workaround code performed software stripping instead of the
hardware which can do it much faster. None of the e1000e target
hardware has issues with this feature and should work fine. This
gives us some performance back on receive, and removes some
kludging stripping the 4 bytes.

Auke Kok df762464ad e1000e: Fix PBA calculation for jumbo frame packets
Upon inspection the rx FIFO size calculation code was found to have
2 significant flaws: A superfluous minus sign resulting in the
wrong size to be used for jumbo frames on 82573 and ich9, as well
as that this code rewrote the read-only adapter->pba variable
resulting in different values at each run.

Without this patch jumbo's will work but performance will be
awkward since the TX size is not adequate for two whole frames.

Auke Kok 47f44e40a3 e1000e: Fix jumbo frame receive code.
Fix allocation and freeing of jumbo frames where several bugs
were recently introduced by cleanups after we forked this code
from e1000. This moves ps_pages to buffer_info where it really
belongs and makes it a dynamically allocated array. The penalty
is not that high since it's allocated outside of the buffer_info
struct anyway.

Without this patch all jumbo frames are completely broken and the
driver panics.

Eric W. Biederman 2b008b0a8e [NET]: Marking struct pernet_operations __net_initdata was inappropriate
It is not safe to to place struct pernet_operations in a special section.
We need struct pernet_operations to last until we call unregister_pernet_subsys.
Which doesn't happen until module unload.

So marking struct pernet_operations is a disaster for modules in two ways.
- We discard it before we call the exit method it points to.
- Because I keep struct pernet_operations on a linked list discarding
  it for compiled in code removes elements in the middle of a linked
  list and does horrible things for linked insert.

So this looks safe assuming __exit_refok is not discarded
for modules.

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?

Jay Vosburgh 059fe7a578 bonding: Convert locks to _bh, rework alb locking for new locking
Convert locking-related activity to new & improved system.
Convert some lock acquisitions to _bh and rework parts of ALB mode, both
to avoid deadlocks with workqueue activity.

Jay Vosburgh 0b0eef6641 bonding: Convert miimon to new locking
Convert mii (link state) monitor to acquire correct locks for
failover events.  In particular, failovers generally require RTNL at a low
level (when manipulating device MAC addresses, for example) and no other
locks.  The high level monitor is responsible for acquiring a known set
of locks, RTNL, the bond->lock for read and the slave_lock for write, and
the low level failover processing can then release appropriate locks as
needed.  This patch provides the high level portion.

	As it is undesirable to acquire RTNL for every monitor pass (which
may occur as often as every 10 ms), the miimon has been converted to
do conditional locking.  A first pass inspects all slaves to determine
if any action is required, and if so, a second pass (after acquring RTNL)
is done to perform any actions (doing a complete rescan, as the situation
may have changed when all locks were released).

Jay Vosburgh cf5f904493 bonding: Convert balance-rr transmit to new locking
Change locking in balance-rr transmit processing to use a free
running counter to determine which slave to transmit on.  Instead, a
free-running counter is maintained, and modulo arithmetic used to select
a slave for transmit.

	This removes lock operations from the TX path, and eliminates
a deadlock introduced by the conversion to work queues.

Jay Vosburgh 1b76b31693 Convert bonding timers to workqueues
Convert bonding timers to workqueues.  This converts the various
monitor functions to run in periodic work queues instead of timers.  This
patch introduces the framework and convers the calls, but does not resolve
various locking issues, and does not stand alone.
