qeth: CCL-sequence numbers required for protocol ETH_P_802_2 only
Symptom: slow CCL response time
Problem: non-ETH_P_802_2 packets are not delivered to NDH for
CCL. But CCL detects missing sequence numbers, which
cause a serious performance problem with CCL.
Solution: assign sequence numbers only to 802.2 packets.

qeth: set lan_online flag after a received STARTLAN
Problem: A STARTLAN command from the adapter may arrive while a
qeth recovery is currently running with a failed qeth
STARTLAN. Usually qeth schedules a recovery when
receiving a STARTLAN command from the adapter. But
another recovery scheduled while a recovery is already
running never starts. Thus the qeth-administered
lan_online flag remains zero in this scenario, even
though the adapter-STARTLAN has happened.
Solution: Set lan_online flag for a received STARTLAN from the
adapter in case scheduled recovery does not start.

1. ip_list handling after deregister failure of multicast address:
If error code "MC Address not found" is returned do not re-add
multicast address to ip_list.
For other error codes readd multicast address at the end of
function qeth_delete_all_mc.
2. ip_list handling after deregister failure or normal ip address:
If error code "IP Address not found" is returned do not re-add
multicast address to ip list.
This is especially important in IP address takeover scenarios,

[netdrvr] tulip/winbond-840: don't let tulip.h symbol stomp ours
winbond-840 shares tulip.h with the tulip driver, because they share

This is useful for the register definitions, but not helpful when it

Thus, PKT_BUF_SZ is a symbol internal to tulip, but it was intruding

This patch revises the logging for link informations of spidernet.
- The link down message is too verbose because auto-negotiation timeout
occurs periodically while an ethernet cable is not connected.
- We want to see the link result, and we think it should be displayed.
In addition to the value of GHIINT0STS, spidernet interrupt handler
should check the values of GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers at the
beginning of spider_net_interrupt() so as not to drop error
interrupts.
GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers indicates some of erroneous conditions
in spidernet, and a few bits of GHIINT0STS register reflects these
conditions. But GHIINT0MSK masks these bits, so you should check these
conditions by reading GHIINT1STS/GHIINT2STS registers directly.
- unmask GDAINVAINT. There is an operation to do by spidernet
interrupt handler.
- mask some interrupts. There are no operations in the interrupt handler.
In error and warning printks, always report the netdevice name
instead of the port index (the latter has no meaning when there
are multiple mv643xx_eth silicon blocks in the system.)
mv643xx_eth: identify ports by struct mv643xx_private *
Instead of identifying individual mv643xx ethernet ports by only
their port number, identify them by their struct mv643xx_private *,
as just a port number has no meaning when there are multiple

- Remove unused MV643XX_DEFAULT_[RT]X_QUEUE_SIZE definitions.
- Remove ETH_TARGET enum -- it isn't used anywhere in the driver,
and isn't even valid for non-mv643xx chip models, as those use
different MBUS target IDs.
- Clean up comment and control flow in mv643xx_eth_change_mtu().
- Use mp->dev instead of mp->mii.dev in mv643xx_eth_tx_timeout_task().

The access rules are simple:
1. register the ops with register_pernet_gen_device to get

2. call net_assign_generic() to put the private data on the
struct net (most preferably this should be done in the

3. do not store any private reference on the net_generic array;
4. do not change this pointer while the net is alive;

When adding a new pointer, I copy the old array, replace it
with a new one and schedule the old for kfree after an RCU
grace period.
Since the net_generic explores the net->gen array inside rcu
read section and once set the net->gen->ptr[x] pointer never
changes, this grants us a safe access to generic pointers.
