a5ad24be72 gro: Optimise IPv4 packet reception
As this function can be called more than half a million times for
10GbE, it's important to optimise it as much as we can.

This patch does some obvious changes to use 2-byte and 4-byte
operations instead of byte-oriented ones where possible.  Bit
ops are also used to replace logical ops to reduce branching.

aa4b9f533e gro: Optimise Ethernet header comparison
This patch optimises the Ethernet header comparison to use 2-byte
and 4-byte xors instead of memcmp.  In order to facilitate this,
the actual comparison is now carried out by the callers of the
shared dev_gro_receive function.

This has a significant impact when receiving 1500B packets through
10GbE.

4ae5544f9a gro: Remember number of held packets instead of counting every time
This patch prepares for the move of the same_flow checks out of
dev_gro_receive.  As such we need to remember the number of held
packets since doing a loop just to count them every time is silly.

d6301d3dd1 net: Increase default NET_SKB_PAD to 32.
Several devices need to insert some "pre headers" in front of the
main packet data when they transmit a packet.

Currently we allocate only 16 bytes of pad room and this ends up not
being enough for some types of hardware (NIU, usb-net, s390 qeth,
etc.)

So increase this to 32.

Note that drivers still need to check in their transmit routine
whether enough headroom exists, and if not use skb_realloc_headroom().
Tunneling, IPSEC, and other encapsulation methods can cause the
padding area to be used up.

265de40908 igb: fix two minor items found during code review
This patch addresses two minor items I found while cleaning up the igb
driver for our sourceforge version.

The first clears the context index if we don't flag that we need it.

The second item is that eims_other should be used instead of bit defines
when setting all of the EICS bits prior to reset.

04fe63583d igb: update stats before doing reset in igb_down
It was seen with repeated interface up/down testing that there was a large
stray between the stats reported by the queues and the stats reported by the
HW.  It was found to be an issue in that hw stats were being reset without
first being recorded.  This change records the stats before wiping them from
the system via the reset.

stopped using hibernation (as it did not work with my new IT8212 RAID
controller).

Now I fixed it and noticed that 3c509 does not wake up properly
anymore (in 2.6.28) - neither in PnP nor in ISA modes. ifconfig
down/up makes the card work again in PnP mode. However, in ISA mode,
ifconfig up ends with "No such device" error.

Comparing the 3c509 driver between 2.6.25 and 2.6.28, there's only
some statistics-related change. So the cause of the problem must be
somewhere else.

This patch makes the resume work in PnP mode, but it's still not
enough for ISA mode.

71822faa3b sungem: Soft lockup in sungem on Netra AC200 when switching interface up
From: Ilkka Virta <itvirta@iki.fi>

In the lockup situation the driver seems to go off in an eternal storm
of interrupts right after calling request_irq(). It doesn't actually
do anything interesting in the interrupt handler. Since connecting the link
afterwards works, something later in initialization must fix this.

Looking at gem_do_start() and gem_open(), it seems that the only thing
done while opening the device after the request_irq(), is a call to
napi_enable().

I don't know what the ordering requirements are for the
initialization, but I boldly tried to move the napi_enable() call
inside gem_do_start() before the link state is checked and interrupts
subsequently enabled, and it seems to work for me. Doesn't even break
anything too obvious...

355423d084 r8169: Don't update statistics counters when interface is down
Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve
ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in
endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips
need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is
cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics
only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics
grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close).

It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected.

12207e498b ixgbe: Defeature Tx Head writeback
Tx Head writeback is causing multi-microsecond stalls on PCIe chipsets, due
to partial cacheline writebacks.  Removing this feature removes these
