<content type='text'>
If NET_SKB_PAD is not a multiple of the cache line size, mv643xx_eth
allocates a couple of extra bytes at the start of each receive buffer
to make the data payload end up on a cache line boundary.

These extra bytes are skb_reserve()'d before DMA mapping, so they
should not be included in the DMA map byte count (as the mapping is
done starting at skb-&gt;data), nor should they be included in the
receive descriptor buffer size field, or the hardware can end up
DMAing beyond the end of the buffer, which can happen if someone
sends us a larger-than-MTU sized packet.

This problem was introduced in commit 7fd96ce47ff ("mv643xx_eth:
rework receive skb cache alignment", May 6 2009), but hasn't appeared
to be problematic so far, probably as the main users of mv643xx_eth
all have NET_SKB_PAD == L1_CACHE_BYTES.

<title>mv643xx_eth: fix unicast filter programming in promiscuous mode</title>

<content type='text'>
The Unicast Promiscious Mode (UPM) bit in the mv643xx_eth port
configuration register doesn't do exactly what its name would suggest:
setting this bit merely enables reception of all unicast frames with a
destination address that differs from our local MAC address in bits
[47:4].  In particular, it doesn't have any effect on unicast frames
with a destination address that matches our MAC address in bits [47:4]
-- these will still be tested against the 16-entry unicast address
filter table.

Therefore, if the interface is set to promiscuous mode, just setting
the unicast promiscuous bit isn't enough -- we need to set all filter
bits in the unicast filter table to 1 as well.

<title>net: group address list and its count</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch is inspired by patch recently posted by Johannes Berg. Basically what
my patch does is to group list and a count of addresses into newly introduced
structure netdev_hw_addr_list. This brings us two benefits:
1) struct net_device becames a bit nicer.
2) in the future there will be a possibility to operate with lists independently
   on netdevices (with exporting right functions).
I wanted to introduce this patch before I'll post a multicast lists conversion.

<id>ccffad25b5136958d4769ed6de5e87992dd9c65c</id>
<content type='text'>
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-&gt;addr_len.

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

After 2.6.29, PPC no more admits passing NULL to the dev parameter of
the DMA API. The result is a BUG followed by solid lock-up when the 
mv643xx_eth driver brings an interface up. The following patch makes 
the driver work on my Pegasos again; it is mostly a search and replace 
of NULL by mp-&gt;dev-&gt;dev.parent in dma allocation/freeing/mapping/unmapping
functions.

<title>mv643xx_eth: only unmask RX and TX_END interrupts for available queues</title>

It is not a good idea to blindly unmask the RX and TX_END interrupts
for all eight queues on all mv643xx_eth hardware, since some variations
of the hardware have less than eight transmit/receive queues, and the
RX/TX_END interrupts for the queues they don't have can be in use by
other interrupt sources.
