Fix a subtle race condition between bnx2_start_xmit() and bnx2_tx_int()
similar to the one in tg3 discovered by Herbert Xu:
CPU0 CPU1
bnx2_start_xmit()
if (tx_ring_full) {
tx_lock
bnx2_tx()
if (!netif_queue_stopped)
netif_stop_queue()
if (!tx_ring_full)
update_tx_ring
netif_wake_queue()
tx_unlock
}
Even though tx_ring is updated before the if statement in bnx2_tx_int() in
program order, it can be re-ordered by the CPU as shown above. This
scenario can cause the tx queue to be stopped forever if bnx2_tx_int() has
just freed up the entire tx_ring. The possibility of this happening
should be very rare though.
The following changes are made, very much identical to the tg3 fix:
1. Add memory barrier to fix the above race condition.
2. Eliminate the private tx_lock altogether and rely solely on
netif_tx_lock. This eliminates one spinlock in bnx2_start_xmit()
when the ring is full.
3. Because of 2, use netif_tx_lock in bnx2_tx_int() before calling
netif_wake_queue().
4. Add memory barrier to bnx2_tx_avail().
5. Add bp->tx_wake_thresh which is set to half the tx ring size.
6. Check for the full wake queue condition before getting
netif_tx_lock in tg3_tx(). This reduces the number of unnecessary
spinlocks when the tx ring is full in a steady-state condition.

Use CPU native page size to determine various ring sizes. This allows
order-0 memory allocations on all systems.
Added check to limit the page size to 16K since that's the maximum rx
ring size that will be used. This will prevent using unnecessarily
large page sizes on some architectures with large page sizes.

Add functions to decompress firmware before loading to the internal

Added file name length sanity check in the gzip header to prevent
going past the end of buffer [suggested by DaveM].

Combine two small (56 byte and 320 byte) pci consistent memory
allocations into one allocation. Jeff Garzik suggested to store
the combined size in the bp structure for later use when freeing
the memory.
Use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() + memset().

Fix some link-related problems by doing a coalesce_now after link
change interrupt to flush out the transient link status.
To facilitate this, the host coalesce cmd register value is cached in

Increase maximum receive ring size from 255 to 1020 by supporting
up to 4 linked pages of receive descriptors. To accomodate the
higher memory usage, each physical descriptor page is allocated
separately and the software ring that keeps track of the SKBs and the
DMA addresses is allocated using vmalloc.
Some of the receive-related fields in the bp structure are re-
organized a bit for better locality of reference.
The max. was reduced to 1020 from 4080 after discussion with David
Miller.
This patch contains ring init code changes only. This next patch
contains rx data path code changes.

Fix TCP/UDP checksum verification. Use status bits in the buffer
descriptor instead of the checksum value to verify rx checksum.
Using the checksum value will be incorrect if the UDP packet has
zero in the UDP checksum field.

Refine bnx2_poll() logic to write back the most up-to-date status tag
when all work has been processed. This eliminates some occasional
extra interrupts when a older status tag is written even though all
work has been processed.
The idea is to read the status tag just before exiting bnx2_poll() and
then check again for any new work. If no new work is pending, the
status tag written back will not generate any extra interrupt. This
logic is similar to the changes David Miller did to tg3_poll().

Fix bug in bnx2_interrupt() that caused an unnecessary register read.
The BNX2_PCICFG_MISC_STATUS should only be read when the status tag
has not changed.
Add prefetch of the status block in bnx2_msi() similar to tg3_msi().
The status block is not touched in bnx2_msi() and prefetching it will
speed up bnx2_poll() that will run on the same CPU that received the
MSI.
Update version.

Remove atomic operations in the fast tx path. Expensive atomic
operations were used to keep track of the number of available tx
descriptors. The new code uses the difference between the consumer
and producer index to determine the number of free tx descriptors.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the name of the inline function is
changed to all lower case.

This speeds up link-up time on 5706 SerDes if the link partner does
not autoneg, a rather common scenario in blade servers. Some blade
servers use IPMI for keyboard input and it's important to minimize
link disruptions.
The speedup is achieved by shortening the timer to (HZ / 3) during
the transient period right after initiating a SerDes autoneg. If
autoneg does not complete, parallel detect can be done sooner. After
the transient period is over, the timer goes back to its normal HZ
interval.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the timer initialization is moved to
bnx2_init_board() from bnx2_open().
An eeprom bit is also added to allow default forced SerDes speed for
even faster link-up time.

This fixes an rtnl deadlock problem when flush_scheduled_work() is
called from bnx2_close(). In rare cases, linkwatch_event() may be on
the workqueue from a previous close of a different device and it will
try to get the rtnl lock which is already held by dev_close().
The fix is to set a flag if we are in the reset task which is run
from the workqueue. bnx2_close() will loop until the flag is cleared.
As suggested by Jeff Garzik, the loop is changed to call msleep(1)
instead of yield() in the original patch.
flush_scheduled_work() is also moved to bnx2_remove_one() before the
netdev is freed.
