françois romieu bca03d5f32 r8169: remove the firmware of RTL8111D.
The binary file of the firmware is moved to linux-firmware repository.
The firmwares are rtl_nic/rtl8168d-1.fw and rtl_nic/rtl8168d-2.fw.
The driver goes along if the firmware couldn't be found. However, it
is suggested to be done with the suitable firmware.

Some wrong PHY parameters are directly corrected in the driver.

Simple firmware checking added per Ben Hutchings suggestion.

Tejun Heo 23f333a2bf drivers/net: don't use flush_scheduled_work()
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.

Rafael J. Wysocki e4fbce740f r8169: Fix runtime power management
I noticed that one of the post-2.6.36 patches broke runtime PM of the
r8169 on my MSI Wind test machine in such a way that the link was not
brought up after reconnecting the network cable.

In the process of debugging the issue I realized that we only should
invoke the runtime PM functions in rtl8169_check_link_status() when
link change is reported and if we do so, the problem goes away.
Moreover, this allows rtl8169_runtime_idle() to be simplified quite
a bit.

Shan Wei d5d3ebe3be r8169: fix checksum broken
If r8196 received packets with invalid sctp/igmp(not tcp, udp) checksum, r8196 set skb->ip_summed
wit CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This cause that upper protocol don't check checksum field.

I am not family with r8196 driver. I try to guess the meaning of RxProtoIP and IPFail.
RxProtoIP stands for received IPv4 packet that upper protocol is not tcp and udp.
!(opts1 & IPFail) is true means that driver correctly to check checksum in IPv4 header.

If it's right, I think we should not set ip_summed wit CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for my sctp packets
with invalid checksum.

If it's not right, please tell me.

Jesse Gross eab6d18d20 vlan: Don't check for vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present.
Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb.  There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances.  However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.

Eric Dumazet 6f0333b8fd r8169: use 50% less ram for RX ring
Using standard skb allocations in r8169 leads to order-3 allocations (if
PAGE_SIZE=4096), because NIC needs 16383 bytes, and skb overhead makes
this bigger than 16384 -> 32768 bytes per "skb"

Using kmalloc() permits to reduce memory requirements of one r8169 nic
by 4Mbytes. (256 frames * 16Kbytes). This is fine since a hardware bug
requires us to copy incoming frames, so we build real skb when doing
this copy.

Matthew Garrett 801e147cde r8169: Handle rxfifo errors on 8168 chips
The Thinkpad X100e seems to have some odd behaviour when the display is
powered off - the onboard r8169 starts generating rxfifo overflow errors.
The root cause of this has not yet been identified and may well be a
hardware design bug on the platform, but r8169 should be more resiliant to
this. This patch enables the rxfifo interrupt on 8168 devices and removes
the MAC version check in the interrupt handler, and the machine no longer
crashes when under network load while the screen turns off.

Eric Dumazet adea1ac7ef r8169: fix rx checksum offload
While porting GRO to r8169, I found this driver has a bug in its rx
path.

All skbs given to network stack had their ip_summed set to
CHECKSUM_NONE, while hardware said they had correct TCP/UDP checksums.

The reason is driver sets skb->ip_summed on the original skb before the
copy eventually done by copybreak. The fresh skb gets the ip_summed =
CHECKSUM_NONE value, forcing network stack to recompute checksum, and
preventing my GRO patch to work.

Fix is to make the ip_summed setting after skb copy.

Note : rx_copybreak current value is 16383, so all frames are copied...

Alan Stern f3ec4f87d6 PCI: change device runtime PM settings for probe and remove
This patch (as1388) changes the way the PCI core handles runtime PM
settings when probing or unbinding drivers.  Now the core will make
sure the device is enabled for runtime PM, with a usage count >= 1,
when a driver is probed.  It does the same when calling a driver's
remove method.

If the driver wants to use runtime PM, all it has to do is call
pm_runtime_pu_noidle() near the end of its probe routine (to cancel
the core's usage increment) and pm_runtime_get_noresume() near the
start of its remove routine (to restore the usage count).  It does not
need to mess around with setting the runtime state to enabled,
disabled, active, or suspended.

The patch updates e1000e and r8169, the only PCI drivers that already
use the existing runtime PM interface.

Timo Teräs 024a07bacf r8169: fix random mdio_write failures
Some configurations need delay between the "write completed" indication
and new write to work reliably.

Realtek driver seems to use longer delay when polling the "write complete"
bit, so it waits long enough between writes with high probability (but
could probably break too). This patch adds a new udelay to make sure we
wait unconditionally some time after the write complete indication.

This caused a regression with XID 18000000 boards when the board specific
phy configuration writing many mdio registers was added in commit
2e955856ff (r8169: phy init for the 8169scd). Some of the configration
mdio writes would almost always fail, and depending on failure might leave
the PHY in non-working state.

Based on this initial thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1
This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169
driver.  As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance
hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating
the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was
for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any).

Summary:

    A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper
allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too
much data.  This was done in commit fdd7b4c330.  A
long time prior to that however, Francois posted
126fa4b9ca, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize
setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong
frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver.  This was mentioned in a
security conference recently:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html

It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly
noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing
corruption.  As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which
is ready to handle a maximally sized receive.

This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this
patch does two things:

1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force
appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k
buffer.

2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC
open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation
to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous).

Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can
otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure
is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu
such that performance is restored easily.

Francois Romieu 78f1cd0245 r8169: fix broken register writes
This is quite similar to b39fe41f48
though said registers are not even documented as 64-bit registers
- as opposed to the initial TxDescStartAddress ones - but as single
bytes which must be combined into 32 bits at the MMIO read/write
level before being merged into a 64 bit logical entity.

Credits go to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> for the MAR
registers (aka "multicast is broken for ages on ARM) and to
Timo Teräs <timo.teras@iki.fi> for the MAC registers.

David S. Miller 4300e8c7f6 Revert "r8169: enable 64-bit DMA by default for PCI Express devices (v2)"
This reverts commit 3531768883.

People are reporting problems due to this change and there
is no anticipation that the cause will be tracked down
any time soon.

We can try next time to selectively re-enable this based upon chip
type, or have a black list of some sort.

Rafael J. Wysocki e175944115 r8169 / PCI / PM: Add simplified runtime PM support (rev. 3)
Use the PCI runtime power management framework to add basic PCI
runtime PM support to the r8169 driver.  Namely, make the driver
suspend the device when the link is not present and set it up for
generating a wakeup event after the link has been detected again.
[This feature is disabled until the user space enables it with the
help of the /sys/devices/.../power/contol device attribute.]

David Dillow 4c020a961a r8169: use correct barrier between cacheable and non-cacheable memory
r8169 needs certain writes to be visible to other CPUs or the NIC before
touching the hardware, but was using smp_wmb() which is only required to
order cacheable memory access. Switch to wmb() which is required to
order both cacheable and non-cacheable memory.

Noticed by Catalin Marinas and Paul Mackerras.

Robert Hancock 3531768883 r8169: enable 64-bit DMA by default for PCI Express devices (v2)
Currently use of 64-bit DMA is disabled in r8169 unless the user passes the
use_dac module option. This is reasonable for conventional PCI devices where
broken chipsets may not handle dual-address-cycle transfers properly for
32-bit slots and so this may not be safe. However, PCI Express should not have
this problem and not using 64-bit DMA results in DMA transfers needlessly using
the IOMMU or SWIOTLB. Set the use_dac module parameter to a new default value of
-1 which results in 64-bit DMA being enabled by default for PCI Express devices
only.
