forcedeth boot delay fix

2007-12-14T17:50:54+00:00

patch 9e555930bd873d238f5f7b9d76d3bf31e6e3ce93 in mainline.

Fix a long boot delay in the forcedeth driver.  During initialization, the
timeout for the handshake between mgmt unit and driver can be very long.
The patch reduces the timeout by eliminating a extra loop around the
timeout logic.

forcedeth msi bugfix

2007-11-16T17:25:35+00:00

patch a7475906bc496456ded9e4b062f94067fb93057a in mainline.

pci_enable_msi() replaces the INTx irq number in pci_dev->irq with the
new MSI irq number.
The forcedeth driver did not update the copy in netdevice->irq and
parts of the driver used the stale copy.
See bugzilla.kernel.org, bug 9047.

The patch
- updates netdevice->irq
- replaces all accesses to netdevice->irq with pci_dev->irq.

The patch is against 2.6.23.1. IMHO suitable for both 2.6.23 and 2.6.24

fix realtek phy id in forcedeth

2007-08-25T06:30:57+00:00

As noticed by Chuck Ebbert, commit c5e3ae8823693b260ce1f217adca8add1bc0b3de
introduced a copy-paste typo, as realtek phy is 0x732 and not 0x1c1. Obvious
fix below suggested by Ayaz Abdulla.

fix random hang in forcedeth driver when using netconsole

2007-08-18T16:58:51+00:00

If the forcedeth driver receives too much work in an interrupt, it
assumes it has a broken hardware with stuck IRQ.  It works around the
problem by disabling interrupts on the nic but makes a printk while
holding device spinlog - which isn't smart thing to do if you have
netconsole on the same nic.

This patch moves the printk's out of the spinlock protected area.

Without this patch the machine hangs hard.  With this patch everything
still works even when there is significant increase on CPU usage while
using the nic.

[NET]: ethtool_perm_addr only has one implementation

2007-07-31T21:00:29+00:00

All drivers implement ethtool get_perm_addr the same way -- by calling
the generic function.  So we can inline the generic function into the
caller and avoid going through the drivers.

forcedeth: mac address correct

2007-07-30T19:50:17+00:00

In older chipsets, the mac address was stored in reversed order.
However, in newer chipsets, the mac address is in correct order. This
patch takes those newer chipsets into account and does not rely on a
special bit setup by BIOS'.
