On a busy network, the macb driver could get stuck in the interrupt
handler, quickly triggering the watchdog, due to a confluence of
factors:
1. macb_poll re-enables interrupts unconditionally, even when it will
be called again because it exhausted its rx budget
2. macb_interrupt only disables interrupts after scheduling
macb_poll, but scheduling fails when macb_poll is already scheduled
because it didn't call napi_complete
3. macb_interrupt loops until the interrupt status register is clear,
which will never happen in this case if the driver doesn't disable
the RX interrupt
Since macb_interrupt runs in interrupt context, this effectively locks
up the machine, triggering the hardware watchdog.
This issue was readily reproducible on a flooded network with a
modified 2.6.27.48 kernel. The same problem appears to still be in the
2.6.36-rc8 driver code, so I am submitting this patch against that
version. I have not tested this version of the patch except to make
sure the kernel compiles.

fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0)
We can avoid setting again skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers.
Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this
assertion documented in driver sources.
Change most occurrences of :
skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE;
by :
skb_checksum_none_assert(skb);

The phy_mii_ioctl() function unnecessarily throws away the original ifreq.
We need access to the ifreq in order to support PHYs that can perform
hardware time stamping.
Two maverick drivers filter the ioctl commands passed to phy_mii_ioctl().
This is unnecessary since phylib will check the command in any case.

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API
callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel
instability.
The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from
getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().
A functions set:
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
B functions set:
local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore()
spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()
spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()

Suppose that we receive lots of frames, start processing them, but
exhaust our budget so that we return before we had a chance to look
at all of them.
Then, when the network layer calls us again, we will only continue
processing the buffers if the REC bit was set in the mean time, which it
might not be if there was a brief pause in the flow of packets. If this
happens, we'll simply display a warning and call netif_rx_complete()
with potentially lots of unprocessed packets in the RX ring...
Fix this by scanning the ring no matter what flags are set in the
interrupt status register.

In rare cases when an underrun occur, all macb buffers where consumed
and the netif_queue was stopped infinitely. This happens then the TGO
(transfer ongoing) bit in the TSR is set (and UND). It seems like
clening up after the underrun makes the driver and the macb hardware
end up in an inconsistent state. The result of this is that in the
following calls to macb_tx no TX buffers are released -> the
netif_queue was stopped, and never woken up again.
The solution is to disable the transmitter, if TGO is set, before
clening up after the underrun, and re-enable the transmitter when the
cleaning up is done.

The drivers were touching net queue before it has been started, so
without this patch, the drivers will potentially WARN at
net/core/dev.c:1328.
I don't have the hardware for the drivers below, so this patch is
untested, and thus should be carefully peer reviewed.
tc35815.c
au1000_eth.c
bfin_mac.c
macb.c
^ The four drivers are using phylib, they're calling netif_start_queue()
in open() callback. So trivially remove netif_tx_schedule_all().
Phylib will handle netif_carrier_*().
cpmac.c
fec_mpc52xx.c
fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c
sh_eth.c
^ The same as above, but these were also needlessly calling
netif_carrier_*() functions. So removed queue calls and also remove
carrier calls, since phylib will handle it. fs_enet-main.c also didn't
call netif_start_queue() at open(), this is fixed now.

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:". Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable network
platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.
NOTE: didn't change drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c "old binding" support.
That looks problematic in the first place (it even uses the ancient "struct
device_driver" binding scheme for platform_bus!) and I suspect it will vanish
soonish when arch/powerpc rules the world. Also, drivers/net/ne.c would have
needed more thought to sort out.

macb devices are only found integrated on SoCs, so they can't be
hotplugged. Thus, the probe() and exit() functions can be __init and
__exit, respectively. By using platform_driver_probe() instead of
platform_driver_register(), there won't be any references to the
discarded probe() function after the driver has loaded.
This also fixes a section mismatch due to macb_probe(), defined as
__devinit, calling macb_get_hwaddr, defined as __init.

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.

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)
Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.
