7bd656d121 [PATCH] sky2: revert pci express extensions
The pci express error handling extensions don't work unless PCI access is via
mmconfig. Otherwise, all accesses to pci config registers greater than 256 fail.
Since the sky2 driver has other ways of getting to PCI config space, it works
around this short coming, but the pci_find_ext_capablity doesn't work.

This backs out commit 91aeb3edbc
Go back to hardcoding, since we know where the error registers are anyway.

a664ccf430 [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet reduce DMA kicking
The current code attempts to start the TX dma every time a packet
is queued. This is too conservative, and wastes CPU time. This
patch changes behaviour to call the kick-dma function less often,
only when the tx queue is at risk of emptying.

This reduces cpu usage, improves performance.

9cc7bf7edf [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet refine locking
The transmit side of the spider ethernet driver currently
places locks around some very large chunks of code. This
results in a fair amount of lock contention is some cases.
This patch makes the locks much more fine-grained, protecting
only the cirtical sections. One lock is used to protect
three locations: the queue head and tail pointers, and the
queue low-watermark location.

204e5fa17c [PATCH] powerpc/cell spidernet low watermark patch.
Implement basic low-watermark support for the transmit queue.
Hardware low-watermarks allow a properly configured kernel
to continously stream data to a device and not have to handle
any interrupts at all in doing so. Correct zero-interrupt
operation can be actually observed for this driver, when the
socket buffer is made large enough.

The basic idea of a low-watermark interrupt is as follows.
The device driver queues up a bunch of packets for the hardware
to transmit, and then kicks the hardware to get it started.
As the hardware drains the queue of pending, untransmitted
packets, the device driver will want to know when the queue
is almost empty, so that it can queue some more packets.

If the queue drains down to the low waterark, then an interrupt
will be generated. However, if the kernel/driver continues
to add enough packets to keep the queue partially filled,
no interrupt will actually be generated, and the hardware
can continue streaming packets indefinitely in this mode.

The impelmentation is done by setting the DESCR_TXDESFLG flag
in one of the packets. When the hardware sees this flag, it will
interrupt the device driver. Because this flag is on a fixed
packet, rather than at  fixed location in the queue, the
code below needs to move the flag as more packets are
queued up. This implementation attempts to keep the flag
at about 1/4 from "empty".

6f62768344 [PATCH] b44: fix eeprom endianess issue
This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures.

readw returns the data in CPU order.  With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little
endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray.  See the cast above.  A
byte array is little endian.

The bug is:

Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing
this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array.  The correct fix is to swap the
CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is
little endian.

This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44
code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.

7d12e780e0 IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

	set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

 (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
     the input_dev struct.

 (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
     something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
     pointer or not.

 (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
     irq_handler_t.

2f614fe04f [netdrvr] b44: handle excessive multicast groups
If there are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups in the dev->mc_list,
it will only listen to the first B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE that it sees.

This change makes the driver go into RXCONFIG_ALLMULTI mode if there
are more than B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE groups being subscribed to, similar
to other network drivers.

39984a9fad [PATCH] bonding: fix deadlock on high loads in bond_alb_monitor()
In bond_alb_monitor the bond->curr_slave_lock write lock is taken
and then dev_set_promiscuity maybe called which can take some time,
depending on the network HW. If a network IRQ for this card come in
the softirq handler maybe try to deliver more packets which end up in
a request to the read lock of bond->curr_slave_lock -> deadlock.
This issue was found by a test lab during network stress tests, this patch
disable the softirq handler for this case and solved the issue.
