fdd7b4c330 r8169: fix crash when large packets are received
Michael Tokarev reported receiving a large packet could crash
a machine with RTL8169 NIC.
( original thread at http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/6/8/192 )

Problem is this driver tells that NIC frames up to 16383 bytes
can be received but provides skb to rx ring allocated with
smaller sizes (1536 bytes in case standard 1500 bytes MTU is used)

When a frame larger than what was allocated by driver is received,
dma transfert can occurs past the end of buffer and corrupt
kernel memory.

Fix is to tell to NIC what is the maximum size a frame can be.

This bug is very old, (before git introduction, linux-2.6.10), and 
should be backported to stable versions.

f11a377b3f r8169: avoid losing MSI interrupts
The 8169 chip only generates MSI interrupts when all enabled event
sources are quiescent and one or more sources transition to active. If
not all of the active events are acknowledged, or a new event becomes
active while the existing ones are cleared in the handler, we will not
see a new interrupt.

The current interrupt handler masks off the Rx and Tx events once the
NAPI handler has been scheduled, which opens a race window in which we
can get another Rx or Tx event and never ACK'ing it, stopping all
activity until the link is reset (ifconfig down/up). Fix this by always
ACK'ing all event sources, and loop in the handler until we have all
sources quiescent.

d78ad8cbfe r8169: reset IntrStatus after chip reset
Original comment (Karsten):
On a MSI MS-6702E mainboard, when in rtl8169_init_one() for the first time
after BIOS has run, IntrStatus reads 5 after chip has been reset.
IntrStatus should equal 0 there, so patch changes IntrStatus reset to happen
after chip reset instead of before.

Remark (Francois):
Assuming that the loglevel of the driver is increased above NETIF_MSG_INTR,
the bug reveals itself with a typical "interrupt 0025 in poll" message
at startup. In retrospect, the message should had been read as an hint of
an unexpected hardware state several months ago :o(

ea8dbdd170 r8169: revert "r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)"
It fails on the following systems:
- RTL8169sc/8110sc (XID 18000000)
  reported by Tim Durack <tdurack@gmail.com> (x86)
- RTL8169sb/8110sb (XID 10000000)
  reported by Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@it.uu.se> (ARM)

The patch appeared to work on x86 for the following systems:
RTL8169sb/8110sb 10000000 PCI   (EXT)
RTL8110s         04000000 PCI   (EXT)
RTL8102e         24a00000 PCI-E (LOM)
RTL8168c/8111c   3c2000c0 PCI-E (LOM)
RTL8168b/8111b   38000000 PCI-E (LOM)
RTL8168b/8111b   38000000 PCI-E (EXT)

The patch exposes two problems:
1) while not completely wrong, mac addresses are not read correctly
   from the EEPROM
2) the MAC address registers are not correctly set

6709fe9a27 r8169: read MAC address from EEPROM on init (2nd attempt)
This is 2nd attempt to implement the initialization/reading of MAC address
from EEPROM. The first used PCI's VPD and there were some problems, some
devices are not able to read EEPROM content by VPD. The 2nd one uses direct
access to EEPROM through bit-banging interface and my testing results seem
to be much better.

I tested 5 systems each with different Realtek NICs and I didn't find any
problem. AFAIK Francois's NICs also works fine.

Original description:
This fixes the problem when MAC address is set by ifconfig or by
ip link commands and this address is stored in the device after
reboot. The power-off is needed to get right MAC address.
This is problem when Xen daemon is running because it renames the device
name from ethX to pethX and sets its MAC address to FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.
After reboot the device is still using FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF.

355423d084 r8169: Don't update statistics counters when interface is down
Some Realtek chips (RTL8169sb/8110sb in my case) are unable to retrieve
ethtool statistics when the interface is down. The process stays in
endless loop in rtl8169_get_ethtool_stats. This is because these chips
need to have receiver enabled (CmdRxEnb bit in ChipCmd register) that is
cleared when the interface is going down. It's better to update statistics
only when the interface is up and otherwise return copy of statistics
grabbed when the interface was up (in rtl8169_close).

It is interesting that PCI-E NICs (like 8168b/8111b...) are not affected.

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting

Drivers need not do it any more.

Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers

e383d56487 r8169: revert "read MAC address from EEPROM on init"
This reverts commit 7bf6bf4803.

The code has both a short existence and an increasing track of failures
despite some work to amend it for -rc1.  It is not just a matter of
reading the eeprom: sometimes the eeprom is read correctly, then the mac
address is not written correctly back into the mac registers.

Some chipsets seem to work reliably but it is not clear at this point if
the code can simply be made to work on a per-chipset basis and post -rc1
is not the place where I want to experiment these things.

b836390159 r8169: shuffle some registers handling around (8168 operation only)
I can not argue strongly for (or against) a specific ordering
on a purely technical ground but the patch avoids to swallow
Realtek's changes in one big, hard-to-read gulp.

Let aside the way the RxConfig register is written (see
rtl_set_rx_tx_config_registers / RxConfig / rtl_set_rx_mode),
this change brings the registers write ordering closer with
Realtek's driver one (version 8.006.00) for the 8168 chipsets.

More 8168 specific code which touches the Configx registers will
be added in the section covered by Cfg9346_UnLock / Cfg9346_Lock.

This code should not be the cause of regression for 810x and
8110 users.

dacf815434 r8169: add hw start helpers for the 8168 and the 8101
This commit triggers three 'defined but not used' warnings but
I prefer avoiding to tie these helpers to a specific change in
the hw start sequences of the 8168 or of the 8101.

77332894c2 r8169: avoid thrashing PCI conf space above RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_06
The magic write to register 0x82 will often cause PCI config space on
my 8168 (PCI ID 10ec:8168, revision 2. mounted in an LG P300 laptop)
to be filled with ones during driver load, and thus breaking NIC
operation until reboot. If it does not happen on first driver load it
can easily be reproduced by unloading and loading the driver a few
times.

The magic write was added long ago by this commit:

Author: François Romieu <romieu@fr.zoreil.com>

     [netdrvr r8169] Merge of changes done by Realtek to rtl8169_init_one():
     - phy capability settings allows lower or equal capability as suggested
       in Realtek's changes;
     - I/O voodoo;
     - no need to s/mdio_write/RTL8169_WRITE_GMII_REG/;
     - s/rtl8169_hw_PHY_config/rtl8169_hw_phy_config/;
     - rtl8169_hw_phy_config(): ad-hoc struct "phy_magic" to limit duplication
       of code (yep, the u16 -> int conversions should work as expected);
     - variable renames and whitepace changes ignored.

As the 8168 wasn't supported by that version this patch simply removes
the bogus write from mac versions <= RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_06.

[The change above makes sense for the 8101/8102 too -- Ueimor]
