cf9f6e21c1 3c509: Add missing EISA IDs
Several EISA device IDs for 3c509 family network cards are missing from 
the driver, making the cards unusable in their EISA mode.  Here's a fix to 
add them based on the EISA configuration files distributed by 3Com and our 
eisa.ids database.

We should not be stopping the subqueues in cpmac_end_xmit

netif_subqueue_stop by __netif_subqueue_stopped. This

d1a277c584 can: sja1000: generic OF platform bus driver
This patch adds a generic driver for SJA1000 chips on the OpenFirmware
platform bus found on embedded PowerPC systems. You need a SJA1000 node
definition in your flattened device tree source (DTS) file similar to:

  can@3,100 {
  	compatible = "nxp,sja1000";
  	reg = <3 0x100 0x80>;
  	interrupts = <2 0>;
  	interrupt-parent = <&mpic>;
  	nxp,external-clock-frequency = <16000000>;
  };

255a915431 can: sja1000: stop misusing member base_addr of struct net_device
As discussed on the netdev mailing list, the member "base_addr" of
"struct net_device" should not be (mis)used to store the virtual
address to the SJA1000 register area. According to David Miller,
it's only use is to allow ISA and similar primitive bus devices to
have their I/O ports changed via ifconfig. The virtual address is
now stored in the private data structure of the SJA1000 device and
the callback functions use "struct sja1000_priv" instead of the
unneeded "struct net_device".

ccffad25b5 net: convert unicast addr list
This patch converts unicast address list to standard list_head using
previously introduced struct netdev_hw_addr. It also relaxes the
locking. Original spinlock (still used for multicast addresses) is not
needed and is no longer used for a protection of this list. All
reading and writing takes place under rtnl (with no changes).

I also removed a possibility to specify the length of the address
while adding or deleting unicast address. It's always dev->addr_len.

The convertion touched especially e1000 and ixgbe codes when the
change is not so trivial.

805a8ab3ce netdev: bfin_mac: fix malformed UDP packet transmission when polling with KGDB
Writes to the DMA descriptors may sit in the internal Blackfin data buffers
and not actually be available when the DMA engine goes to fetch them.  This
does not typically happen, but when dealing with short/fast packets such as
UDP and polling KGDB, this occurs much more frequently.  Same goes for
heavy loads as seen by netperf tests or large scp transfers.  So force the
buffers to drain with SSYNC otherwise we get random malformed packets.

2df9001edc tcp: fix loop in ofo handling code and reduce its complexity
Somewhat luckily, I was looking into these parts with very fine
comb because I've made somewhat similar changes on the same
area (conflicts that arose weren't that lucky though). The loop
was very much overengineered recently in commit 915219441d
(tcp: Use SKB queue and list helpers instead of doing it
by-hand), while it basically just wants to know if there are
skbs after 'skb'.

Also it got broken because skb1 = skb->next got translated into
skb1 = skb1->next (though abstracted) improperly. Note that
'skb1' is pointing to previous sk_buff than skb or NULL if at
head. Two things went wrong:
- We'll kfree 'skb' on the first iteration instead of the
  skbuff following 'skb' (it would require required SACK reneging
  to recover I think).
- The list head case where 'skb1' is NULL is checked too early
  and the loop won't execute whereas it previously did.

Conclusion, mostly revert the recent changes which makes the
cset very messy looking but using proper accessor in the
previous-like version.

The effective changes against the original can be viewed with:
  git-diff 915219441d566f1da0caa0e262be49b666159e17^ \

Commit 5e68b772e6
  cxgb3: map entire Rx page, feed map+offset to Rx ring.

introduced a regression on platforms defining DECLARE_PCI_UNMAP_ADDR()
and related macros as no-ops.

Rx descriptors are fed with the a page buffer bus address + page chunk offset.
The page buffer bus address is set and retrieved through
pci_unamp_addr_set(), pci_unmap_addr().
These functions being meaningless on x86 (if CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG is not set).
The HW ends up with a bogus bus address.

This patch saves the page buffer bus address for all plaftorms.

5d4e039b2c bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3
[PATCH net-next] bonding: allow bond in mode balance-alb to work properly in bridge -try4.3

(updated)
changes v4.2 -> v4.3
- memcpy the address always, not just in case it differs from master->dev_addr
- compare_ether_addr_64bits() is not used so there is no direct need to make new
  header file (I think it would be good to have bond stuff in separate file
  anyway).

changes v4.1 -> v4.2
- use skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST compare rather then comparing skb dest addr
  against skb->dev->dev_addr

The problem is described in following bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487763

Basically here's what's going on. In every mode, bonding interface uses the same
mac address for all enslaved devices (except fail_over_mac). Only balance-alb
will simultaneously use multiple MAC addresses across different slaves. When you
put this kind of bond device into a bridge it will only add one of mac adresses
into a hash list of mac addresses, say X. This mac address is marked as local.
But this bonding interface also has mac address Y. Now then packet arrives with
destination address Y, this address is not marked as local and the packed looks
like it needs to be forwarded. This packet is then lost which is wrong.

Notice that interfaces can be added and removed from bond while it is in bridge.

***
When the multiple addresses for bridge port approach failed to solve this issue
due to STP I started to think other way to solve this. I returned to previous
solution but tweaked one.

This patch solves the situation in the bonding without touching bridge code.
For every incoming frame to bonding the destination address is compared to
current address of the slave device from which tha packet came. If these two
match destination address is replaced by mac address of the master. This address
is known by bridge so it is delivered properly. Note that the comparsion is not
made directly, it's used skb->pkt_type == PACKET_HOST instead. This is "set"
previously in eth_type_trans().

I experimentally tried that this works as good as searching through the slave
list (v4 of this patch).

(net: tx scalability works : trans_start)
(net: txq_trans_update() helper)

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Multi queue drivers can
avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit()
handler.

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers (vxge & tehuti)

dfe9a83798 llc: Kill outdated and incorrect comment.
This comment suggested storing two pieces of state in the
LLC skb control block, and in fact we do.  Someone did
the implementation but never killed this todo comment :-)

7481806dcf wimax: a new API call was added, increment minor protocol version number
As the 'state_get' API call was added, we need to increase the minor
protocol version number so applications that depend on the can check
it's presence.

2618ab774e wimax/i2400m: usb: fix device reset on autosuspend while not yet idle
When the i2400m is connected to a network, the host interface (USB)
cannot be suspended. For that to happen, the device has to have
negotiated with the basestation to put the link on IDLE state.

If the host tries to put the device in standby while it is connected
but not idle, the device resets, as the driver should not do that.

To avoid triggering that, when the USB susbsytem requires the driver
to autosuspend the device, the driver checks if the device is not yet
idle. If it is not, the request is requested (will be retried again
later on after the autosuspend timeout). At some point the device will
enter idle and the request will succeed (unless of course, there is
network traffic, but at that point, there is no idle neither in the
link or the host interface).

7f0333eb2f wimax: Add netlink interface to get device state
wimax connection manager / daemon has to know what is current
state of the device. Previously it was only possible to get
notification whet state has changed.

Note:

 By mistake, the new generic netlink's number for
 WIMAX_GNL_OP_STATE_GET was declared inserting into the existing list
 of API calls, not appending; thus, it'd break existing API.

 Fixed by Inaky Perez-Gonzalez <inaky@linux.intel.com> by moving to
 the tail, where we add to the interface, not modify the interface.

 Thanks to Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com> for catching this.
