<title>skge: use unique IRQ name</title>

Most network drivers request their IRQ when the interface is activated.
skge does it in -&gt;probe() instead, because it can work with two-port
cards where the two net_devices use the same IRQ. This works fine most
of the time, except in some situations when the interface gets renamed.
Consider this example:

1. modprobe skge
   The card is detected as eth0 and requests IRQ 17. Directory
   /proc/irq/17/eth0 is created.
2. There is an udev rule which says this interface should be called
   eth1, so udev renames eth0 -&gt; eth1.
3. modprobe 8139too
   The Realtek card is detected as eth0. It will be using IRQ 17 too.
4. ip link set eth0 up
   Now 8139too requests IRQ 17.

The result is:
WARNING: at fs/proc/generic.c:590 proc_register ...
proc_dir_entry '17/eth0' already registered
...
And "ls /proc/irq/17" shows two subdirectories, both called eth0.

Fix it by using a unique name for skge's IRQ, based on the PCI address.
The naming from the example then looks like this:
$ grep skge /proc/interrupts
 17:        169   IO-APIC-fasteoi   skge@pci:0000:00:0a.0, eth0

irqbalance daemon will have to be taught to recognize "skge@" as an
Ethernet interrupt. This will be a one-liner addition in classify.c. I
will send a patch to irqbalance if this change is accepted.

If allocation of the second ports fails, make sure that hw-&gt;ports
 is not 2 otherwise we'll crash trying to access the second port.

This fix is copied from a similar fix in the sky2 driver (ca519274...),
but is untested, as I don't have a skge card.

If skge hardware is capable of waking up the system from sleep,
enable magic packet WoL during driver initialisation.

This makes WoL work without calling 'ethtool -s ethX wol g'
for each adapter.

Second round of drivers for Gb cards (and NIU one I forgot in the 10GB round)

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

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

<title>skge: fix occasional BUG during MTU change</title>

<id>d119b3927994e3d620d6adb0dd1ea6bf24427875</id>
<content type='text'>
The BUG_ON(skge-&gt;tx_ring.to_use != skge-&gt;tx_ring.to_clean) in skge_up()
was sometimes observed when setting MTU.

skge_down() disables the TX queue, but then reenables it by mistake via
skge_tx_clean().
Fix it by moving the waking of the queue from skge_tx_clean() to the
other caller. And to make sure start_xmit is not in progress on another
CPU, skge_down() should call netif_tx_disable().

The bug was reported to me by Jiri Jilek whose Debian system sometimes
failed to boot. He tested the patch and the bug did not happen anymore.
