[TG3]: Fix link problem on Dell's onboard 5906.

2007-06-04T01:08:41Z

The bug is caused by code that always set (TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT | TG3_FLAG_USE_LINKCHG_REG) on all Dell's onboard devices. With these 2 flags set, the link status is polled by tg3_timer() and will only work when the PHY is set up to interrupt the MAC on link changes. This breaks 5906 because the 5906 PHY does not support TG3_FLAG_USE_MI_INTERRUPT the same as other PHYs. For correctness, only Dell's onboard 5701 needs these 2 flags to be set. This change will fix the 5906 problem and will change other Dell devices except 5700 and 5701 to use the more efficient interrupt-driven link changes. Update version to 3.77.

network drivers: eliminate unneeded kill_vid code

2007-06-03T15:44:20Z

Many drivers had code that did kill_vid, but they weren't doing vlan filtering. With new API the stub is unneeded unless device sets NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Bad habit: I couldn't resist fixing a couple of nearby style things in acenic, and forcedeth. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

unify flush_work/flush_work_keventd and rename it to cancel_work_sync

2007-05-09T19:30:53Z

flush_work(wq, work) doesn't need the first parameter, we can use cwq->wq (this was possible from the very beginnig, I missed this). So we can unify flush_work_keventd and flush_work. Also, rename flush_work() to cancel_work_sync() and fix all callers. Perhaps this is not the best name, but "flush_work" is really bad. (akpm: this is why the earlier patches bypassed maintainers) Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Jeff Garzik Cc: "David S.

tg3: use flush_work_keventd()

2007-05-09T19:30:51Z

Convert tg3 over to flush_work_keventd(). Remove nasty now-unneeded deadlock avoidance logic. (akpm: bypassed maintainers, sorry. There are other patches which depend on this) Cc: "Maciej W.

[TG3]: Eliminate spurious interrupts.

2007-05-07T07:26:15Z

Spurious interrupts are often encountered especially on systems using the 8259 PIC mode. This is because the I/O write to deassert the interrupt is posted and won't get to the chip immediately. As a result, the IRQ may remain asserted after the IRQ handler exits, causing spurious interrupts. Flush the interrupt mailbox in non-MSI handlers to de-assert the IRQ immediately. This seems to be the most straight forward approach after discussion with Jeff Garzik and David Miller. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TG3]: Add ASPM workaround.

2007-05-07T07:25:49Z

This patch adds workaround to fix performance problems caused by slow PCIE L1->L0 transitions on ICH8 platforms. Changed all magic numbers to constants as suggested by Jeff Garzik. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TG3]: Add TG3_FLAG_SUPPORT_MSI flag.

2007-05-05T20:08:32Z

And fix up the code to always allow MSI on 5714 A2. Call tg3_find_peer() earlier because we need that information before we can determine whether we can set TG3_FLAG_SUPPORT_MSI or not. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[TG3]: Eliminate the TG3_FLAG_5701_REG_WRITE_BUG flag.

2007-05-05T19:47:25Z

This patch removes the use of the TG3_FLAG_5701_REG_WRITE_BUG flag. It's logic is only used to set a function pointer and thus the logic can be collapsed and the flag removed. [ Comment tidy by Christoph Hellwig. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: Michael Chan

[TG3]: Eliminate the TG3_FLAG_GOT_SERDES_FLOWCTL flag.

2007-05-05T19:11:21Z

This flag does not do anything useful. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
