15c052fc7f qlge: Add watchdog timer.
Add periodic heartbeat register read to trigger the eeh
recovery process.
We see cases where an eeh error was injected and the slot was
suspended.  An asic access attempt is required to flush the recovery process,
but without interrupts the process can stall.
Adding this periodic register read causes the recovery process to begin.

6683ece36e net: use helpers to access mc list V2
This patch introduces the similar helpers as those already done for uc list.
However multicast lists are no list_head lists but "mademanually". The three
macros added by this patch will make the transition of mc_list to list_head
smooth in two steps:

1) convert all drivers to use these macros (with the original iterator of type
   "struct dev_mc_list")
2) once all drivers are converted, convert list type and iterators to "struct
   netdev_hw_addr" in one patch.

>From now on, drivers can (and should) use "netdev_for_each_mc_addr" to iterate
over the addresses with iterator of type "struct netdev_hw_addr". Also macros
"netdev_mc_count" and "netdev_mc_empty" to read list's length. This is the state
which should be reached in all drivers.

3fbd9187d0 sky2: hand receive DMA mapping failures
If receive buffer mapping failed, then it was possible to get
stuck with unmapped receive buffer in DMA ring.

This would be an extremely rare condition because the driver had just
released the map for the last receive so it should be able to get
another map again (in soft-irq).

bf66f3736a can: mcp251x: Move to threaded interrupts instead of workqueues.
This patch addresses concerns about efficiency of handling incoming
packets. Handling of interrupts is done in a threaded interrupt handler
which has a smaller latency than workqueues. This change needed a rework
of the locking scheme that was much simplified. Some other (more or less
longstanding) bugs are fixed: utilization of just half of the RX
buffers, useless wait for interrupt on open, more reliable reset
sequence. The MERR interrupt is not used anymore: it overloads the CPU
in error-passive state without any additional information. One shot mode
is disabled because it's not clear if it can be handled efficiently on
this CAN controller.

20d29d7a91 net: macvtap driver
In order to use macvlan with qemu and other tools that require
a tap file descriptor, the macvtap driver adds a small backend
with a character device with the same interface as the tun
driver, with a minimum set of features.

Macvtap interfaces are created in the same way as macvlan
interfaces using ip link, but the netif is just used as a
handle for configuration and accounting, while the data
goes through the chardev. Each macvtap interface has its
own character device, simplifying permission management
significantly over the generic tun/tap driver.

1a6c14a2c7 ixgbe: Allocate driver resources per NUMA node
The default policy for the current driver is to do all its memory
allocation on whatever processor is running insmod/modprobe.  This
is less than optimal.

This driver's default mode of operation will be to use each node for each
subsequent transmit/receive queue.  The most efficient allocation will be
to then have the interrupts bound in such a way as to match up the
interrupt of the queue to the cpu where its memory was allocated.

10eec95569 ixgbe: only process one ixgbe_watchdog_task at a time.
Processing multiple ixgbe_watchdog_task calls may cause
the link_up variable and IXGBE_FLAG_NEED_LINK_UPDATE flag
to be set incorrectly.  In the worse case this is causing
the netif_carrier_off to be called inappropriately which
results in an interface that can't be brought up.

Although schedule_work() will only schedule the task if
it is not already on the work queue the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
bits are cleared just before calling the work function.
This allows WORK_STRUCT_PENDING to be cleared, the work
function to start and meanwhile schedule another task.

This patch adds a mutex to the watchdog task. This bug is
actualized by changing DCB settings or doing extended
cable pull or reset tests.

f6815077e7 sky2: fix transmit DMA map leakage
The book keeping structure for transmit always had the flags value
cleared so transmit DMA maps were never released correctly.

ace2a4d0fb MCS7830 USB-Ether: resume _with_ working link, via .reset_resume support
ChangeLog:
Implement .reset_resume support to retain a live network connection
during suspend despite USB power loss.
- rework operation to reference cached data in mcs7830_data and
  netdev->dev_addr
- update netdev->dev_addr only in case new MAC was set successfully
. Tests done:
  . ethtool -d pre-/post-suspend: register values match
  . running ssh session suspend, resume: works
  . ifdown device, suspend, resume: works
  . ifup, suspend, unplug, resume: WORKS (eth1 is removed, re-ifup of eth1
    after card replug works)
  . verified identical MAC in ifconfig post-resume
    (ok, should be verified on network side to be fully certain...)

Keywords: suspend resume network connection dead interface down
