While reworking the r8169 driver a few months ago to perform the
smallest amount of work in the irq handler, I took care of avoiding
any irq mask register operation in the slow work dedicated user
context thread. The slow work thread scheduled an extra round of NAPI
work which would ultimately set the irq mask register as required,
thus keeping such irq mask operations in the NAPI handler.
It would eventually race with the irq handler and delay NAPI execution
for - assuming no further irq - a whole ksoftirqd period. Mildly a
problem for rare link changes or corner case PCI events.
The race was always lost after the last bh disabling lock had been
removed from the work thread and people started wondering where those
pesky "NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 08" messages came from.
Actually the irq mask register _can_ be set up directly in the slow
work thread.

when register_netdev fails, the init'ed NAPIs by netif_napi_add must be
deleted with netif_napi_del, and also when driver unloads, it should
delete the NAPI before unregistering netdevice using unregister_netdev.

Currently, we terminate the eeprom access through clearing the CS by:
RTL_W8 (Cfg9346, ~EE_CS); or writeb (~EE_CS, ee_addr);
This would left the eeprom into "Config. Register Write Enable:"
state which is not expcted as the highest two bits were set to
0x11 ( expected is the "Normal" mode (0x00)). Solving this by write
0x0 instead of ~EE_CS when terminating the eeprom access.

Currently, we enable the receiver before setting the ring address which could
lead the card DMA into unexpected areas. Solving this by set the ring address
before enabling the receiver.
btw. I find and test this in qemu as I didn't have a 8139cp card in hand. please
review it carefully.

The r8169 may get stuck or show bad behaviour after activating TSO :
the net_device is not stopped when it has no more TX descriptors.
This problem comes from TX_BUFS_AVAIL which may reach -1 when all
transmit descriptors are in use. The patch simply tries to keep positive
values.
Tested with 8111d(onboard) on a D510MO, and with 8111e(onboard) on a
Zotac 890GXITX.

We set intr mask before its handler is registered, this does not work well when
8139cp is sharing irq line with other devices. As the irq could be enabled by
the device before 8139cp's hander is registered which may lead unhandled
irq. Fix this by introducing an helper cp_irq_enable() and call it after
request_irq().

With runtime PM, if the ethernet cable is disconnected, the device is
transitioned to D3 state to conserve energy. If the system is shutdown
in this state, any register accesses in rtl_shutdown are dropped on
the floor. As the device was programmed by .runtime_suspend() to wake
on link changes, it is thus brought back up as soon as the link recovers.
Resuming every suspended device through the driver core would slow things
down and it is not clear how many devices really need it now.
Original report and D0 transition patch by Sameer Nanda. Patch has been
changed to comply with advices by Rafael J. Wysocki and the PM folks.

Nothing fancy:
- sent bytes count is notified in the start_xmit path right before
updating the owner bit in the hardware Tx descriptor (E. Dumazet)
- avoid useless tp->dev dereferencing in start_xmit (E. Dumazet)
Use of netdev_reset_queue is favored over proper accounting in
rtl8169_tx_clear_range since the latter would need more work for the
same result (nb: said accounting degenerates to nothing in xmit_frags).
