qlge: Move drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qlge/ to drivers/staging/qlge/
The hardware has been declared EOL by the vendor more than 5 years ago. What's more relevant to the Linux kernel is that the quality of this driver is not on par with many other mainline drivers.

* reception stalls permanently (until admin intervention) if the rx buffer
|
||||||
|
queues become empty because of allocation failures (ex. under memory
|
||||||
|
pressure)
|
||||||
|
* commit 7c734359d350 ("qlge: Size RX buffers based on MTU.", v2.6.33-rc1)
|
||||||
|
introduced dead code in the receive routines, which should be rewritten
|
||||||
|
anyways by the admission of the author himself, see the comment above
|
||||||
|
ql_build_rx_skb(). That function is now used exclusively to handle packets
|
||||||
|
that underwent header splitting but it still contains code to handle non
|
||||||
|
split cases.
|
||||||
|
* truesize accounting is incorrect (ex: a 9000B frame has skb->truesize 10280
|
||||||
|
while containing two frags of order-1 allocations, ie. >16K)
|
||||||
|
* while in that area, using two 8k buffers to store one 9k frame is a poor
|
||||||
|
choice of buffer size.
|
||||||
|
* in the "chain of large buffers" case, the driver uses an skb allocated with
|
||||||
|
head room but only puts data in the frags.
|
||||||
|
* rename "rx" queues to "completion" queues. Calling tx completion queues "rx
|
||||||
|
queues" is confusing.
|
||||||
|
* struct rx_ring is used for rx and tx completions, with some members relevant
|
||||||
|
to one case only
|
||||||
|
* there is an inordinate amount of disparate debugging code, most of which is
|
||||||
|
of questionable value. In particular, qlge_dbg.c has hundreds of lines of
|
||||||
|
code bitrotting away in ifdef land (doesn't compile since commit
|
||||||
|
18c49b91777c ("qlge: do vlan cleanup", v3.1-rc1), 8 years ago).
|
||||||
|
* triggering an ethtool regdump will hexdump a 176k struct to dmesg depending
|
||||||
|
on some module parameters.
|
||||||
|
* the flow control implementation in firmware is buggy (sends a flood of pause
|
||||||
|
frames, resets the link, device and driver buffer queues become
|
||||||
|
desynchronized), disable it by default
|
||||||
|
* some structures are initialized redundantly (ex. memset 0 after
|
||||||
|
alloc_etherdev())
|
||||||
|
* the driver has a habit of using runtime checks where compile time checks are
|
||||||
|
possible (ex. ql_free_rx_buffers(), ql_alloc_rx_buffers())
|
||||||
|
* reorder struct members to avoid holes if it doesn't impact performance
|
||||||
|
* in terms of namespace, the driver uses either qlge_, ql_ (used by
|
||||||
|
other qlogic drivers, with clashes, ex: ql_sem_spinlock) or nothing (with
|
||||||
|
clashes, ex: struct ob_mac_iocb_req). Rename everything to use the "qlge_"
|
||||||
|
prefix.
|
||||||
|
* avoid legacy/deprecated apis (ex. replace pci_dma_*, replace pci_enable_msi,
|
||||||
|
use pci_iomap)
|
||||||
|
* some "while" loops could be rewritten with simple "for", ex.
|
||||||
|
ql_wait_reg_rdy(), ql_start_rx_ring())
|
||||||
|
* remove duplicate and useless comments
|
||||||
|
* fix weird line wrapping (all over, ex. the ql_set_routing_reg() calls in
|
||||||
|
qlge_set_multicast_list()).
|
||||||
|
* fix weird indentation (all over, ex. the for loops in qlge_get_stats())
|
||||||
|
* fix checkpatch issues
