Some drivers are using skb_transport_offset(skb) instead of skb->csum_start
for NETIF_F_HW_CSUM offload. This does not matter now, but if someone
implements checksumming of encapsulated packets then this will break silently.
TSO output paths are left as they are, since they are for IP+TCP only
(might be worth converting though).

flush_scheduled_work() is on its way out. This patch contains simple
conversions to replace flush_scheduled_work() usage with direct
cancels and flushes.
Directly cancel the used works on driver detach and flush them in
other cases.
The conversions are mostly straight forward and the only dangers are,
* Forgetting to cancel/flush one or more used works.
* Cancelling when a work should be flushed (ie. the work must be
executed once scheduled whether the driver is detaching or not).
I've gone over the changes multiple times but it would be much
appreciated if you can review with the above points in mind.

During init, reading the 2 PHY ID registers back-to-back in the default
fast mode could return invalid data (all F's) and in slow mode could
return data to the second read the data from the first read. To resolve
the issue in fast mode, set to slow mode before any PHY accesses; to
resolve the issue in slow mode, put in a delay for every 82579 PHY access.
Since this PHY is currently only paired with the pch2lan MAC and the PHY
type is not known before the first PHY access which can fail this way,
check for this based on MAC-type.

Most e1000e parts support batching writebacks. The problem with this is
that when some of the TADV or TIDV timers are not set, Tx can sit forever.
This is solved in this patch with write flushes using the Flush Partial

This improves bus utilization and removes partial writes on e1000e,
particularly from 82571 parts in S5500 chipset based machines.
Only ES2LAN and 82571/2 parts are included in this optimization, to reduce

For non-managed versions of 82579, set the bit that prevents the hardware
from automatically configuring the PHY after resets only when the driver
performs a reset, clear the bit after resets. This is so the hardware can
configure the PHY automatically when the part is reset in a manner that is
not controlled by the driver (e.g. in a virtual environment via PCI FLR)
otherwise the PHY will be mis-configured causing issues such as failing to
link at 1000Mbps.
For managed versions of 82579, keep the previous behavior since the
manageability firmware will handle the PHY configuration.

The alternate MAC address feature is only supported by 80003ES2LAN and
82571 LOMs as well as a couple 82571 mezzanine cards. Checking for an
alternate MAC address on other parts can fail leading to the driver not
able to load. This patch limits the check for an alternate MAC address
to be done only for parts that support the feature.
This issue has been around since support for the feature was introduced
to the e1000e driver in 2.6.34.

Based on patches from Sonny Rao and Milton Miller...
Combined the patches to fix up clean_tx_irq and clean_rx_irq.
The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes
to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier.
In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data.
With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a
stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it.
The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header
and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order
we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use
hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it
all the way to the application.
This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has
been shown to fix it. The bug can manifest as a data integrity issue
(bad payload data) or as a BUG in skb_pull().
This was a nasty bug to hunt down, if people agree with the fix I think
it's a candidate for stable.
Previously Submitted to e1000-devel only for ixgbe
http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=126593062701537&w=3
We've now seen this problem hit with other device drivers (e1000e mostly)

similar issues.
