4478a9cdf0 igb: drop support for UDP hashing w/ RSS
This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing.  The
reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a
network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for
non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.

58eba97d07 virtio_net: fix oom handling on tx
virtio net will never try to overflow the TX ring, so the only reason
add_buf may fail is out of memory. Thus, we can not stop the

4a49043223 s2io: resolve statistics issues
This patch resolves a number of issues in the statistics gathering of
the s2io driver.

On Xframe adapters, the received multicast statistics counter includes
pause frames which are not indicated to the driver.  This can cause
issues where the multicast packet count is higher than what has actually
been received, possibly higher than the number of packets received.

The driver software counters are replaced with the adapter hardware
statistics for rx_packets, rx_bytes, and tx_bytes.  It also uses the
overflow registers to determine if the statistics wrapped the 32bit
register (removing the window of having a statistic value less than the
previous call).  rx_length_errors statistic now includes undersized
packets in addition to oversized packets in its counting.  Finally,
rx_crc_errors are now being counted.

f0796d5c73 net: decreasing real_num_tx_queues needs to flush qdisc
Reducing real_num_queues needs to flush the qdisc otherwise
skbs with queue_mappings greater then real_num_tx_queues can
be sent to the underlying driver.

The flow for this is,

dev_queue_xmit()
	dev_pick_tx()
		skb_tx_hash()  => hash using real_num_tx_queues
		skb_set_queue_mapping()
	...
	qdisc_enqueue_root() => enqueue skb on txq from hash
...
dev->real_num_tx_queues -= n
...
sch_direct_xmit()
	dev_hard_start_xmit()
		ndo_start_xmit(skb,dev) => skb queue set with old hash

skbs are enqueued on the qdisc with skb->queue_mapping set
0 < queue_mappings < real_num_tx_queues.  When the driver
decreases real_num_tx_queues skb's may be dequeued from the
qdisc with a queue_mapping greater then real_num_tx_queues.

This fixes a case in ixgbe where this was occurring with DCB
and FCoE. Because the driver is using queue_mapping to map
skbs to tx descriptor rings we can potentially map skbs to
rings that no longer exist.

When receive tx complete with status is TX_STATUS_FAIL_RFKILL_FLUSH,
issue REPLY_TXFIFO_FLUSH command to uCode to flush out all the tx frames
in queues.

In this condition, since mac80211 has no knowledge of "flush" operation,
driver need to stop all the tx queues and wait for the operation
completed before wake up the queues for frames transmission.

control back to mac80211
2. drop = false: wait for either all the frames in tx fifo queues been
transmitted, or timeout; then return the control back to mac80211

If the flush request coming from mac80211, mac80211 will make sure there
are no additional frames push down to driver before flush operation is
completed.

firmware error and reload the firmware even fw_restart=0. In this case,
driver should not reload the firmware, it is important to help debugging
uCode error.

The only case we can ignore the module parameter is when user request
firmware reload from debugfs, which can bypass the checking and perform
firmware reload all the time.

e4c064728c iwlwifi: remove key information during device restart
When there is a firmware error or the firmware is reloaded for some other
reason we currently clear all station information, including keys
associated with them. A problem is that we do not clear some other
information regarding keys that are not stored in the station structs.

The consequence of this is that when the device is reconfigured after the
firmware reload we can, among other things, run out of key indices.

1437ce3983 ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flags
ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has
no way of doing so.  This means it is not suitable for use as a
default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags.

Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
change all current callers to pass this parameter.

Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to
call ethtool_op_set_flags().

Use correct shift factor for extracting the SGE DMA Ingress Padding
Boundary.  Was accidentally using the register field's shift which was
close enough (4 instead of the propper value of 5) that it actually
sort of worked for various packet sizes ...

42d782ac1b bonding: check if clients MAC addr has changed
When two systems using bonding devices in adaptive load
balancing (ALB) communicates with each other, an endless
ping-pong of ARP replies starts between these two systems.

What happens? In the ALB mode, bonding driver keeps track
of each client connected in a hash table, so it can do the
receive load balancing (RLB). This hash table is updated
when an ARP reply is received, then it scans for the client
entry, updates its MAC address and flag it to be announced
later. Therefore, two seconds later, the alb monitor runs
and send for each updated client entry two ARP replies
updating this specific client. The same process happens on
the receiving system, causing the endless ping-pong of arp
replies.

See more information including the relevant functions below:

   System 1                          System 2
    bond0                             bond0

+-------           <-------------- send ARP reply
                   <-------------- send ARP reply

Besides the unneeded networking traffic, this loop breaks
a cluster because a backup system can't take over the IP
address. There is always one system sending an ARP reply
poisoning the network.

This patch fixes the problem adding a check for the MAC
address before updating it. Thus, if the MAC address didn't
change, there is no need to update neither to announce it later.

f3eb62d2cc be2net: memory barrier fixes on IBM p7 platform
The ibm p7 architecure seems to reorder memory accesses more
aggressively than previous ppc64 architectures. This requires memory
barriers to ensure that rx/tx doorbells are pressed only after
memory to be DMAed is written.
