Eric Dumazet a58c891a53 b44: GFP_DMA skb should not escape from driver
b44 chip has some hardware limitations, that need GFP_DMA bounce
buffers in some situations.

In order to not deplete DMA zone, we should keep allocated GFP_DMA skb
only for driver use. At rx time, we copy such skb to newly allocated
skb, reusing existing copybreak infrastructure.

On machines with low amount of memory, all skb meet the hardware limitation,
so no copy is needed. We detect this situation using a new device flag, set
to one if one GFP_DMA skb was ever allocated by b44_alloc_rx_skb().

Previously allocated skb, even outside from DMA zone will then be recycled,
to have minimal impact on DMA zone use.

Stephen Hemminger bea3348eef [NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.
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.

Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra,
Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan.

[ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted.  Integrated
  Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list
  handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues.  -DaveM ]

John W. Linville 9f38c636ab [PATCH] b44: alternate allocation option for DMA descriptors
This is a (final?) hack to support the odd DMA allocation requirements
of the b44 hardware.  The b44 hardware has a 30-bit DMA mask.  On x86,
anything less than a 32-bit DMA mask forces allocations into the 16MB
GFP_DMA range.  The memory there is somewhat limited, often resulting
in an inability to initialize the b44 driver.

This hack uses streaming DMA allocation APIs in order to provide an
alternative in case the GFP_DMA allocation fails.  It is somewhat ugly,
but not much worse than the similar existing hacks to support SKB
allocations in the same driver.  FWIW, I have received positive
feedback on this from several Fedora users.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
