662a96bd6f tc35815: Remove a wrong netif_wake_queue() call which triggers BUG_ON
The netif_wake_queue() is called correctly (i.e. only on !txfull
condition) from txdone routine.  So Unconditional call to the
netif_wake_queue() here is wrong.  This might cause calling of
start_xmit routine on txfull state and trigger BUG_ON.

This bug does not happen when NAPI disabled.  After txdone there
must be at least one free tx slot.  But with NAPI, this is not
true anymore and the BUG_ON can hits on heavy load.

In this driver NAPI was enabled on 2.6.33-rc1 so this is
regression from 2.6.32 kernel.

Check the frame control for ieee80211_is_data_qos() is true before
counting the number of tfds can be free, the tfds_in_queue only

242cc0547f sfc: SFE4002/SFN4112F: Widen temperature and voltage tolerances
The temperature and voltage limits currently set on these boards are
too conservative and will cause the driver to stop the net device
erroneously in some systems.

Based on a review of the chip datasheets and advice from the designer
of these boards:

- Raise the maximum board temperatures to the specified maximum ambient
  temperatures for their PHYs plus the expected temperature bias of the
  board
- Raise the maximum controller temperature to 90 degrees
- Lower the minimum temperatures to 0 degrees
- Widen the voltage tolerances to at least +/- 10%

5e2f75b899 iwlwifi: set HT flags after channel in rxon
The HT extension channel settings require priv->staging_rxon.channel to be
accurate. However, iwl_set_rxon_ht was being called before iwl_set_rxon_channel
and thus HT40 could be broken unless another call to iwl_mac_config came in.

This problem was recently introduced by "iwlwifi: Fix to set correct ht
configuration"

The particular setting in which I noticed this was monitor mode:

	iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor
	ifconfig wlan0 up
	./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40-
	#./iw wlan0 set channel 64 HT40-
	tcpdump -i wlan0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO

would only catch HT40 packets if I issued the IW command twice.

From visual inspection, iwl_set_rxon_channel does not depend on
iwl_set_rxon_ht, so simply swapping them should be safe and fixes this problem.

5e2a911cec sfc: Fix SFE4002 initialisation
From: Steve Hodgson <shodgson@solarflare.com>

Commit 357d46a17e "sfc: QT202x: Remove
unreliable MMD check at initialisation" broke initialisation of the
SFE4002.  efx_mdio_reset_mmd() returns a positive value rather than 0
on success.  The above commit causes this value to be propagated up
by qt202x_reset_phy(), which is treated as a failure by its callers.
Change qt202x_reset_phy() to return 0 if successful.

The PCI layer treats >0 as "fail, but please call remove() anyway",
which means that unloading the driver would cause a crash.  Add a
WARN_ON() on the failure path of efx_pci_probe() to provide early
warning if there are any other cases where we do this.

3f2e8d9f13 via-velocity: Fix races on shared interrupts
This patch fixes two potential races in the velocity driver:

* Move the ACK and error handler to the interrupt handler. This fixes a
  potential race with shared interrupts when the other device interrupts
  before the NAPI poll handler has finished. As the velocity driver hasn't
  acked it's own interrupt, it will then steal the interrupt from the
  other device.

* Use spin_lock_irqsave in velocity_poll. In the current code, the
  interrupt handler will deadlock if e.g., the NAPI poll handler is
  executing when an interrupt (for another device) comes in since it
  tries to take the already held lock.

  Also unlock the spinlock only after enabling the interrupt in
  velocity_poll.

The error path is moved to the interrupt handler since this is where the
ISR is checked now.

feeb2721a7 igb: make certain to reassign legacy interrupt vectors after reset
This change corrects an issue that will cause false hangs when using either
82575 or 82580 in legacy interrupt mode.  The issue is caused when there is
a slow traffic flow and an "ethtool -r" is executed while using legacy or
MSI interrupts.  MSI-X is not affected by this issue due to the fact that
we were already reconfiguring the vectors after reset.

If possible it would be best to push this for net-2.6 since it is resolving
a bug but if that is not possible then net-next-2.6 will be fine.

b6c3f5be7c b43: Fix throughput regression
Commit c7ab5ef9bc entitled "b43: implement
short slot and basic rate handling" reduced the transmit throughput for
my BCM4311 device from 18 Mb/s to 0.7 Mb/s. The basic rate handling
portion is OK, the problem is in the short slot handling.

Prior to this change, the short slot enable/disable routines were never
called. Experimentation showed that the critical part was changing the
value at offset 0x0010 in the shared memory. This is supposed to contain
the 802.11 Slot Time in usec, but if it is changed from its initial value
of zero, performance is destroyed. On the other hand, changing the value
in the MMIO register corresponding to the Interframe Slot Time increased
performance from 18 to 22 Mb/s. A BCM4306/3 also shows dramatic
improvement of the transmit rate from 5.3 to 19.0 Mb/s.

Other changes in the patch include removal of the magic number for the
MMIO register, and allowing the slot time to be set for any PHY operating
in the 2.4 GHz band. Previously, the routine was executed only for G PHYs.

c928febf4b starfire: clean up properly if firmware loading fails
netdev_open() will return without cleaning up net device or hardware state
if firmware loading fails.  This results in a BUG() on a second attempt to
bring the interface up, reported in
<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15091>, and probably has even
worse effects if the driver is removed afterwards.

Call netdev_close() to clean up on failure.

39d3215774 virtio_net: Make delayed refill more reliable
I have seen RX stalls on a machine that experienced a suspected
OOM.  After the stall, the RX buffer is empty on the guest side
and there are exactly 16 entries available on the host side.  As
the number of entries is less than that required by a maximal
skb, the host cannot proceed.

The guest did not have a refill job scheduled.

My diagnosis is that an OOM had occured, with the delayed refill
job scheduled.  The job was able to allocate at least one skb, but
not enough to overcome the minimum required by the host to proceed.

As the refill job would only reschedule itself if it failed completely
to allocate any skbs, this would lead to an RX stall.

The following patch removes this stall possibility by always
rescheduling the refill job until the ring is totally refilled.

Testing has shown that the RX stall no longer occurs whereas
previously it would occur within a day.

5a27e86bab sfc: Use fixed-size buffers for MCDI NVRAM requests
The low-level MCDI code always uses 32-bit MMIO operations, and
callers must pad input and output buffers to multiples of 4 bytes.
The MCDI NVRAM functions are not doing this.  Also, their buffers are
declared as variable-length arrays with no explicit maximum length.

Switch to a fixed buffer size based on the chunk size used by the
MTD driver (which is a multiple of 4).

8704a2c8e9 sfc: Add workspace for GMAC bug workaround to MCDI MAC_STATS buffer
Due to a hardware bug in the SFC9000 family, the firmware must
transfer raw GMAC statistics to host memory before aggregating them
into the cooked (speed-independent) MAC statistics.  Extend the stats
buffer to support this.

The length of the buffer is explicit in the MAC_STATS command, so this
change is backward-compatible on both sides.

4f9a91c812 qlge: Only free resources if they were allocated
Currently qlge tries to release regions even if they were not allocated.
This causes messages like the following in the kernel log

Trying to free nonexistent resource <00000000006af400-00000000006af4ff>
Trying to free nonexistent resource <00003c04ff9f4000-00003c04ff9f7fff>
Trying to free nonexistent resource <00003c04ffc00000-00003c04ffcfffff>

This patch fixes the goto logic in order to not release the resources
if they were not allocated.

aa8bc9ef18 ath9k: fix eeprom INI values override for 2GHz-only cards
Among other changes, this commit:

   commit 06d0f0663e
   Author: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com>
   Date:   Thu Feb 12 10:06:45 2009 +0530

   ath9k: Enable Fractional N mode

changed the hw attach code to fix up initialization values only for
dual band devices, however the commit message did not give a reason as
to why this would be useful or necessary.

According to tests by Jorge Boncompte, this breaks at least some
2GHz-only cards, so the code should be changed back to the
unconditional INI fixup.

a40ccc6868 sky2: revert config space change
Obviously, this register had some other impact that is causing
the regression.  Either it is masking some other access or needs
to be reset in some path.

Either, way it is best to just revert the change for 2.6.33

This reverts commit 166a0fd4c7.
