Commit 71c6c837 (drivers/net: fix tasklet misuse issue) introduced a
build failure in the xilinx driver. axienet_dma_err_handler isn't
declared before its use in axienet_open.
This patch provides the prototype before axienet_open.

The chip ready check added by the commit 3ac3546e [Always wait for
the chip to be ready] does not work when the register read/write
is word swapped. This check has been added before the WORD_SWAP
register is programmed, so we need to check for swapped register
value as well.
Bit 16 is marked as RESERVED in SMSC datasheet, Steve Glendinning
<steve@shawell.net> checked with SMSC and wrote:
The chip architects have concluded we should be reading PMT_CTRL
until we see any of bits 0, 8, 16 or 24 set. Then we should read
BYTE_TEST to check the byte order is correct (as we already do).
The rationale behind this is that some of the chip variants have
word order swapping features too, so the READY bit could actually
be in any of the 4 possible locations. The architects have confirmed
that if any of these 4 positions is set the chip is ready. The other
3 locations will either never be set or can only go high after READY
does (so also indicate the device is ready).
This change will check for the READY bit at the 16th position. We do
not check the other two cases (bit 8 and 24) since the driver does not
support byte-swapped register read/write.

In commit 175c0dff, drivers uses tasklet_kill to avoid put disabled tasklet
on the tasklet vec. But some of the drivers uses tasklet_init & tasklet_disable
in the driver init code, then tasklet_enable when it is opened. This makes
tasklet_enable on a killed tasklet and make ksoftirqd crazy then. Normally,
drivers should use tasklet_init/tasklet_kill on device open/remove, and use
tasklet_disable/tasklet_enable on device suspend/resume.

If a gianfar ethernet device is down prior to hibernating a
system, it will no longer be present upon system restore.
For example:
~# ifconfig eth0 down
~# echo disk > /sys/power/state
<trigger a restore from hibernation>
~# ifconfig eth0 up
SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
This happens because the restore function bails out early upon
finding devices that were not up at hibernation. In doing so,
it never gets to the netif_device_attach call at the end of
the restore function. Adding the netif_device_attach as done
here also makes the gfar_restore code consistent with what is
done in the gfar_resume code.

Some driver uses tasklet_disable in device remove/close process,
tasklet_disable will inc tasklet->count and return. If the tasklet
is not handled yet because some softirq pressure, the tasklet will
placed on the tasklet_vec, never have a chance to excute. This might
lead to ksoftirqd heavy loaded, wakeup with pending_softirq, but
tasklet is disabled. tasklet_kill should be used in this case.

Investigating the source of the message leads one to the

Since the type of the device resource requested in this function

Currently, when FIFO_ERR happens, we stop the dma, wait for it to become
idle and then reset the whole MAC_RX logic (and after that we must re-set
multicast addresses and also re-enable MAC_RX when we're finally ready to
accept new packets). This leads to CRC errors on high number of incoming
packets and is not needed according to the datasheet.
This patch fixes it by the following steps:
1) remove this reset in pch_gbe_stop_receive(), which causes some functions
to not be used anywhere
2) remove already unused functions pch_gbe_wait_clr_bit_irq() and
pch_gbe_mac_reset_rx() to correctly build
3) move pch_gbe_enable_mac_rx() out of pch_gbe_start_receive() to
pch_gbe_up() where it's only needed after we've removed the MAC_RX reset
4) rename pch_gbe_start/stop_receive() to pch_gbe_enable/disable_dma_rx()
to more precisely reflect what the functions are now doing.
After these changes we already don't see the CRC errors and gain some
increase in RX processing speed.

If we were in RX_FIFO_ERR state and entered pch_gbe_napi_poll(), we'll
anyway clean some rx space and thus can continue to receive more packets.
Currently, we re-set the RX_FIFO_ERR in situations when we've exhausted our
budget for RX cleaning or cleaned some TX packets. Removing it gives us
+20%-40% speed increase and a lot less of RX_FIFO_ERRors reported.

This patch originated from Hiroaki SHIMODA but has been modified
by Intel with some minor cleanups and additional commit log text.
Denys Fedoryshchenko and others reported Tx stalls on e1000e with
BQL enabled. Issue was root caused to hardware delays. They were
introduced because some of the e1000e hardware with transmit
writeback bursting enabled, waits until the driver does an
explict flush OR there are WTHRESH descriptors to write back.
Sometimes the delays in question were on the order of seconds,
causing visible lag for ssh sessions and unacceptable tx
completion latency, especially for BQL enabled kernels.
To avoid possible Tx stalls, change WTHRESH back to 1.
The current plan is to investigate a method for re-enabling
WTHRESH while not harming BQL, but those patches will be later
for net-next if they work.

On certain platforms, BE hardware could falsely indicate UE.
For BE family of NICs, do not set hw_error based on the UE bits.
If there was a real fatal error, the corresponding h/w block will
automatically go offline and stop traffic.

Fengguang reported a kernel build failure as following:
drivers/built-in.o: In function `pch_gbe_ioctl':
pch_gbe_main.c:(.text+0x510370): undefined reference to `pch_ch_control_write'
pch_gbe_main.c:(.text+0x510393): undefined reference to `pch_ch_control_write'
pch_gbe_main.c:(.text+0x5103b3): undefined reference to `pch_ch_control_write'
...
It's a regression by commit da1586461. The root cause is that
the CONFIG_PPS is not set there, consequently CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK
can not be set anyway, which finally causes ptp_pch and pch_gbe_main
build failures.
As David prefers to use *select* to fix such module co-dependency issues,
this patch explicitly selects all the possible dependencies of PCH_PTP.

Pulled mainline in order to get the UAPI infrastructure already
merged before I pull in David Howells's UAPI trees for networking.
