Receiving small packet(s) in a fast pace leads to not receiving any
packets at all after some time.
After ethernet packet(s) arrived the receive descriptor is incremented
by the number of frames processed. If another packet arrives while
processing, this is processed in another call of ep93xx_rx. This
second call leads that too many receive descriptors getting released.
This fix increments, even in these case, the right number of processed
receive descriptors.

Use correct bit positions in DM_SHARED_CTRL register for writes.
Michael Planes recently encountered a 'KY-RS9600 USB-LAN converter', which
came with a driver CD containing a Linux driver. This driver turns out to
be a copy of dm9601.c with symbols renamed and my copyright stripped.
That aside, it did contain 1 functional change in dm_write_shared_word(),
and after checking the datasheet the original value was indeed wrong
(read versus write bits).
On Michaels HW, this change bumps receive speed from ~30KB/s to ~900KB/s.
On other devices the difference is less spectacular, but still significant
(~30%).

Frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU greater than 1500,
the skb is likely to be non-linear. If the skb needs to be passed to
pppd then the skb data must be read correctly.
The previous commit fixes an issue with accidentally sending skbs
to pppd based on an invalid read of the protocol type. When that
error occurred pppd was reading invalid skb data too.

In ppp_input(), PPP_PROTO(skb) may refer to invalid data in the skb.
If this happens and (proto >= 0xc000 || proto == PPP_CCPFRAG) then
the packet is passed directly to pppd.
This occurs frequently when using PPPoE with an interface MTU
greater than 1500 because the skb is more likely to be non-linear.
The next 2 bytes need to be pulled in ppp_input(). The pull of 2
bytes in ppp_receive_frame() has been removed as it is no longer
required.

In case a reset is performed, rtl8169_rx_interrupt() is called from

Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community.
Summary of the changes:
1. Improved error handling.
2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg().
The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra
Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs).
This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports
blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces
claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts
(i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic.
The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is
available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is
also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31.
This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3
like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0
(for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later.
This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown
above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating
incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface.
Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c.
A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by
usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission
of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making
a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging
traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface.
Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the
USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.

The bonding driver calls ndo_vlan_rx_register() while holding bond->lock.
The bnx2 driver calls bnx2_netif_stop() to stop the rx handling while
changing the vlgrp. The call also stops the cnic driver which sleeps
while the bond->lock is held and cause the warning.
This code path only needs to stop the NAPI rx handling while we are
changing the vlgrp. Since no reset is going to occur, there is no need
to stop cnic in this case. By adding a parameter to bnx2_netif_stop()
to skip stopping cnic, we can avoid the warning.

It has been reported that under certain heavy traffic conditions in MSI-X
mode, the driver can lose an MSI-X vector causing all packets in the
associated rx/tx ring pair to be dropped. The problem is caused by
the chip dropping the write to unmask the MSI-X vector by the kernel
(when migrating the IRQ for example).
This can be prevented by increasing the GRC timeout value for these
register read and write operations.
Thanks to Dell for helping us debug this problem.

Prompted by a previous patch submitted by Matthew Garret <mjg@redhat.com>,
further digging into errata documentation reveals the current enabling or
disabling of ASPM L0s and L1 states for certain parts supported by this
driver are incorrect. 82571 and 82572 should always disable L1. For
standard frames, 82573/82574/82583 can enable L1 but L0s must be disabled,
and for jumbo frames 82573/82574 must disable L1. This allows for some
parts to enable L1 in certain configurations leading to better power
savings.
Also according to the same errata, Early Receive (ERT) should be disabled
on 82573 when using jumbo frames.

This attribute must be taken into account and restored before

When an internal scan is started, nothing protects the
is_internal_short_scan variable which can cause crashes,
cf. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15667.
Fix this by making the short scan request use the mutex
for locking, which requires making the request go to a
work struct so that it can sleep.

The following situation was observed in the field:
tap1 sends packets, tap2 does not consume them, as a result
tap1 can not be closed. This happens because
tun/tap devices can hang on to skbs undefinitely.
As noted by Herbert, possible solutions include a timeout followed by a
copy/change of ownership of the skb, or always copying/changing
ownership if we're going into a hostile device.
This patch implements the second approach.
Note: one issue still remaining is that since skbs
keep reference to tun socket and tun socket has a
reference to tun device, we won't flush backlog,
instead simply waiting for all skbs to get transmitted.
At least this is not user-triggerable, and
this was not reported in practice, my assumption is
other devices besides tap complete an skb
within finite time after it has been queued.
A possible solution for the second issue
would not to have socket reference the device,
instead, implement dev->destructor for tun, and
wait for all skbs to complete there, but this
needs some thought, probably too risky for 2.6.34.

This is a fix for bug 572201 @ bugs.debian.org
This patch fixes the TX_LIMIT feature flag. The previous logic check
for TX_LIMIT2 also took into account a device that only had TX_LIMIT
set.
