Andy Gospodarek d5b20697ca [PATCH] Remove more unnecessary driver printk's
As I promised last week, here is the first pass at removing all
unnecessary printk's that exist in network device drivers currently in
promiscuous mode.  The duplicate messages are not needed so they have
been removed.  Some of these drivers are quite old and might not need an
update, but I did them all anyway.

I am currently auditing the remaining conditional printk's and will send
out a patch for those soon.

Roger Luethi b933b4d938 [PATCH] via-rhine: add option avoid_D3 (work around broken BIOSes)
It looks like broken BIOSes controlling Rhine chips will remain in use in
significant numbers; such systems fail to come up via PXE after they have
been put into D3 (power-saving) mode.

This patch adds a module option for disabling the call that puts the chip
to sleep.

Jeff Garzik 03a8c6611a [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers
When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver
set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was
maintained in the driver source code.  These days, the kernel's
changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver
changelogs are removed.

Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using
"foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like
"1.17b-LK1.1.9".  These drivers are for older hardware, and see few
changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something
more simple.

Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes
the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro.

Herbert Xu 5b057c6b1a [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_pad
First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since
the existing one is not shared.  More importantly, our hard_start_xmit
interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks
requeueing.

This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize
it if needed.  Actually, someone should sift through every instance of
skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was
originally created.

Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump,
TCP, etc.).  As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb.  Because
of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still
it's best if we don't do it.

Craig Brind 3e0d167a6b [PATCH] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cards
Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames
in new transmissions.

Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet
minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded.  On Rhine I cards the data can
later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this
padding.  This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra
bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this
buffer on to the network.

Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used.

Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made
here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that
an aligned buffer will definitely be used.  This is to make the change
"obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if
necessary.  There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are
only to the Rhine I code path.

The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident.  Frames
shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a
separate host.  I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual
log messages.

Roger Luethi 00b428c2ab [PATCH] via-rhine: link state fix
Problems with link state detection have been reported several times in the
past months.

Denis Vlasenko did all the work tracking it down. Jeff Garzik suggested the
proper place for the fix.

When using the mii library, the driver needs to check mii->force_media
and set dev->state accordingly.

John W. Linville 6ba98d311d [PATCH] via-rhine: change mdelay to msleep and remove from ISR path
Get rid of the mdelay call in rhine_disable_linkmon.  The function
is called from the via-rhine versions of mdio_read and mdio_write.
Those functions are indirectly called from rhine_check_media and
rhine_tx_timeout, both of which can be called in interrupt context.

So, create tx_timeout_task and check_media_task as instances of struct
work_struct inside of rhine_private.  Then, change rhine_tx_timeout to
invoke schedule_work for tx_timeout_task (i.e. rhine_tx_timeout_task),
moving the work to process context.  Also, change rhine_error (invoked
from rhine_interrupt) to invoke schedule_work for check_media_task
(i.e. rhine_check_media_task), which simply calls rhine_check media
in process context.  Finally, add a call to flush_scheduled_work in
rhine_close to avoid any resource conflicts with pending work items.

David S. Miller 689be43945 [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.
Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

	... skb->tail ...

But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
other than skb->data in these cases.

Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
to do instead.

Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
