Eric Dumazet c82b9d7fe7 netxen: fix race in skb->len access
As soon as skb is given to hardware, TX completion can free skb under
us.
Therefore, we should update dev stats before kicking the device.

amit salecha c968bdf691 netxen: limit skb frags for non tso packet
Machines are getting deadlock in four node cluster environment.
All nodes are accessing (find /gfs2 -depth -print|cpio -ocv > /dev/null)
200 GB storage on a GFS2 filesystem.
This result in memory fragmentation and driver receives 18 frags for
1448 byte packets.
For non tso packet, fw drops the tx request, if it has >14 frags.

Fixing it by pulling extra frags.

Javier Martinez Canillas ab392d2d6d drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers
The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed.

Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the
type of entropy source it is.

drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for
devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced
with these add_*_randomness exported functions.

Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of
entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can
be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the
entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq
mitigation and NAPI.

If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false
sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good
sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or
feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy
such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

Rajesh Borundia 5a6f95e653 netxen: avoid using reset_devices as it may become obsolete
In kdump environment do not depend on reset_devices
parameter to reset the device as the parameter may become obsolete.
Instead use an adapter specific mechanism to determine if the device
needs a reset.

Driver maintains a count of number of pci functions probed
and decrements the count when remove handler of that pci function
is called. If the first probe, probe of function 0,
detects the count as non zero then reset the device.

Joe Perches a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Amit Kumar Salecha 8f9b3f6994 netxen: fix failure cases for fw hang recovery
Handle few corner cases in firmware hang detection and recovery:

o Don't mark device state as READY, till handshake with
  firmware is done.
o During probe, if start_firmware fails, restore reference
  count.
o Don't increment refernce count, if start_firmware fails
  during firmware reset.
o Clear __NX_RESETTING bit, incase of fatal error or tempeature
  reaches critical limit so that pci remove() doesn't poll on
  this bit.

Narender Kumar 5d09e534bb netxen : fix BOND_MODE_TLB/ALB mode.
o Along with netdev->perm_addr, mac address will be
  maintained in device private structure.

o Device limitation: We need to set mac address when ever
  interface comes up.

In ALB/TAL mode, bonding driver calls set_mac for all slave with bond mac address.
But bonding driver set netdev->dev_addr field to its original value,
after enslaving interfaces.

When ever active slave changes, it swap dev_addr of inactive slave with active.
Yet it doesn't notify driver about change in netdev->dev_addr.

As netxen driver need to set mac addr when ever interface comes up,
it can't rely on netdev->dev_addr field. Specially in case of bonding mode ALB/TLB.
