The work can submit URBs and the URBs can schedule the work.
This cycle needs to be broken, when a device is to be stopped.
Use a flag to do so.
This is a design issue as old as the driver.

Similarly to a recent include/net/ cleanup, this patch adds
missing includes to networking headers under include/linux.
All these problems are currently masked by the existing users
including the missing dependency before the broken header.

Commit bfe9b9d2df66 ("cdc_ether: Improve ZTE MF823/831/910 handling")
introduces a workaround for certain ZTE modems reporting invalid MAC
addresses over CDC-ECM.
The same issue was present on their RNDIS interface,which was fixed in
commit a5a18bdf7453 ("rndis_host: Set valid random MAC on buggy devices").

However, internal modem of ZTE MF286R router, on its RNDIS interface, also
exhibits a second issue fixed already in CDC-ECM, of the device not
respecting configured random MAC address. In order to share the fixup for
this with rndis_host driver, export the workaround function, which will
be re-used in the following commit in rndis_host.

<title>usbnet: add method for reporting speed without MII</title>

<id>956baa99571bbaf88f3e91190dfb498c685b0e21</id>
<content type='text'>
The old method for reporting link speed assumed a driver uses the
generic phy (mii) MDIO read/write functions. CDC devices don't
expose the phy.

Add a primitive internal version reporting back directly what
the CDC notification/status operations recorded.

v2: rebased on upstream
v3: changed names and made clear which units are used
v4: moved hunks to correct patch; rewrote commmit messages

The generic functions assumed devices provided an MDIO interface (accessed
via older mii code, not phylib). This is true only for genuine ethernet.

Devices with a higher level of abstraction or based on different
technologies do not have MDIO. To support this case, first rename
the existing functions with _mii suffix.

v2: rebased on changed upstream
v3: changed names to clearly say that this does NOT use phylib
v4: moved hunks to correct patch; reworded commmit messages

This is also an extra 180 MB/day in /var/logs (or 1GB per week) rendering
the majority of those logs useless too.

This is about 2KB per second and will overwrite all contents of a 1MB
dmesg buffer in under 10 minutes rendering them useless for debugging
many kernel problems.

This is also an extra 180 MB/day in /var/logs (or 1GB per week) rendering
the majority of those logs useless too.

When the link is up (expected state), spew amount is &gt;2x higher:

Chrome OS cannot support RTL8156 until this is fixed.

Use netdev-&gt;tstats instead of a member of usbnet for storing a pointer
to the per-cpu counters. This allows us to use core functionality for
statistics handling.
