Alexander Duyck 8675737a9c igb: remove disable_av variable from mac_info struct
The disable_av variable is never used by the driver and provides no value as
it is likely a leftover debugging variable.  I have removed it and replaced
the one spot that checked for it with a check for a valid address.

Alexander Duyck fa4dfae0ce igb: change pba size determination from if to switch statement
As additional hardware is added to the igb driver it is easier to support
the expansion via switch statements instead of using nested ifs.  For
this reason I am changing this to a switch statement.

Ondrej Zary 152abd139c 3c509: Fix resume from hibernation for PnP mode.
From: Ondrej Zary <linux@rainbow-software.org>

last year, I posted a patch which fixed hibernation on 3c509
cards. That was back in 2.6.24. It worked fine in 2.6.25. But then I
stopped using hibernation (as it did not work with my new IT8212 RAID
controller).

Now I fixed it and noticed that 3c509 does not wake up properly
anymore (in 2.6.28) - neither in PnP nor in ISA modes. ifconfig
down/up makes the card work again in PnP mode. However, in ISA mode,
ifconfig up ends with "No such device" error.

Comparing the 3c509 driver between 2.6.25 and 2.6.28, there's only
some statistics-related change. So the cause of the problem must be
somewhere else.

This patch makes the resume work in PnP mode, but it's still not
enough for ISA mode.

Ilkka Virta 71822faa3b sungem: Soft lockup in sungem on Netra AC200 when switching interface up
From: Ilkka Virta <itvirta@iki.fi>

In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm
of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually
do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link
afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this.

Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing
done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to
napi_enable().

I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the
initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call
inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts
subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break
anything too obvious...

Ivan Vecera 355423d084 r8169: Don't update statistics counters when interface is down
Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve
ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in
endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips
need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is
cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics
only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics
grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close).

It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected.

for msix, we still need that flag to enable irq respectively

Gautam Kachroo efc683fc2a neigh: some entries can be skipped during dumping
neightbl_dump_info and neigh_dump_table  can skip entries if the
*fill*info functions return an error. This results in an incomplete
dump ((invoked by netlink requests for RTM_GETNEIGHTBL or
RTM_GETNEIGH)

nidx and idx should not be incremented if the current entry was not
placed in the output buffer

Pablo Neira Ayuso ff491a7334 netlink: change return-value logic of netlink_broadcast()
Currently, netlink_broadcast() reports errors to the caller if no
messages at all were delivered:

1) If, at least, one message has been delivered correctly, returns 0.
2) Otherwise, if no messages at all were delivered due to skb_clone()
   failure, return -ENOBUFS.
3) Otherwise, if there are no listeners, return -ESRCH.

With this patch, the caller knows if the delivery of any of the
messages to the listeners have failed:

1) If it fails to deliver any message (for whatever reason), return
   -ENOBUFS.
2) Otherwise, if all messages were delivered OK, returns 0.
3) Otherwise, if no listeners, return -ESRCH.

In the current ctnetlink code and in Netfilter in general, we can add
reliable logging and connection tracking event delivery by dropping the
packets whose events were not successfully delivered over Netlink. Of
course, this option would be settable via /proc as this approach reduces
performance (in terms of filtered connections per seconds by a stateful
firewall) but providing reliable logging and event delivery (for
conntrackd) in return.

This patch also changes some clients of netlink_broadcast() that
may report ENOBUFS errors via printk. This error handling is not
of any help. Instead, the userspace daemons that are listening to
those netlink messages should resync themselves with the kernel-side
if they hit ENOBUFS.

BTW, netlink_broadcast() clients include those that call
cn_netlink_send(), nlmsg_multicast() and genlmsg_multicast() since they
internally call netlink_broadcast() and return its error value.
