The netlink connector uses its own workqueue to relay the datas sent
from userspace to the appropriate callback. If you launch the test
from Documentation/connector and change it a bit to send a high flow
of data, you will see thousands of events coming to the "cqueue"
workqueue by looking at the workqueue tracer.
This flow of events can be sent very quickly. So, to not encumber the
kevent workqueue and delay other jobs, the "cqueue" workqueue should
remain.
But this workqueue is pointless most of the time, it will always be
created (assuming you have built it of course) although only
developpers with specific needs will use it.
So avoid this "most of the time useless task", this patch proposes to
create this workqueue only when needed once. The first jobs to be
sent to connector callbacks will be sent to kevent while the "cqueue"
thread creation will be scheduled to kevent too.
The following jobs will continue to be scheduled to keventd until the
cqueue workqueue is created, and then the rest of the jobs will
continue to perform as usual, through this dedicated workqueue.
Each time I tested this patch, only the first event was sent to
keventd, the rest has been sent to cqueue which have been created
quickly.
Also, this patch fixes some trailing whitespaces on the connector files.

The commit 89a1b249edcf9be884e71f92df84d48355c576aa (gro: Avoid
copying headers of unmerged packets) only worked for packets
which are either completely linear, completely non-linear, or
packets which exactly split at the boundary between headers and
payload.
Anything else would cause bits in the header to go missing if
the packet is held by GRO.
This may have broken drivers such as ixgbe.
This patch fixes the places that assumed or only worked with
the above cases.

In most cases (e.g. PCI drivers) MDIO and MAC controllers are
represented by the same device. But for SOC ethernets we have
separate devices. So, in SOC case, checking whether MDIO
controller may wakeup is not only makes little sense, but also
prevents us from doing per-netdevice wakeup management.
This patch reworks suspend/resume code so that now it checks
for net device's wakeup flags, not MDIO controller's ones.
Each netdevice should manage its wakeup flags, and phylib will
decide whether suspend an attached PHY or not.

Some platforms (for example pcm037) do not have an EEPROM fitted,
instead storing their mac address somewhere else. The bootloader
fetches this and configures the ethernet adapter before the kernel is
started.
This patch allows a platform to indicate to the driver via the
SMSC911X_SAVE_MAC_ADDRESS flag that the mac address has already been
configured via such a mechanism, and should be saved before resetting
the chip.

On LAN9115/LAN9117/LAN9215/LAN9217, external phys are supported. These
are usually indicated by a hardware strap which sets an "external PHY
detected" bit in the HW_CFG register.
In some cases it is desirable to override this hardware strap and force
use of either the internal phy or an external PHY. This patch adds
SMSC911X_FORCE_INTERNAL_PHY and SMSC911X_FORCE_EXTERNAL_PHY flags so a
platform can indicate this preference via its platform_data.

As the mmap handler gets called under mmap_sem, and we may grab
mmap_sem elsewhere under the socket lock to access user data, we
should avoid grabbing the socket lock in the mmap handler.
Since the only thing we care about in the mmap handler is for
pg_vec* to be invariant, i.e., to exclude packet_set_ring, we
can achieve this by simply using a new mutex.

Early versions of the SFX7101 firmware could complete link training in
a state where it would not adequately cancel noise (Solarflare bug
10750). We previously worked around this by resetting the PHY after

takes no account of the interval between errors; it also appears to
be unnecessary with production firmware. Therefore remove it.

commit 0f0ca340e57bd7446855fefd07a64249acf81223 ("phy: power
management support") caused a regression in the gianfar driver.
Now phylib turns off PHY power during suspend, and thus WOL
doesn't work anymore.
This patch workarounds the issue by enabling wakeup in the MDIO
device, i.e. just restores the old behaviour for the gianfar
driver. Note that this way all PHYs on a given MDIO bus won't
be turned off during suspend, which isn't good from the power
saving point of view.
A proper, per netdevice wakeup management support will need
a bit reworked phylib suspend/resume logic.
