e1000e_config_collision_dist() sets tctl, but subsequently tctl is overwritten. It seems to me that as things stand the call to e1000e_config_collision_dist() has no effect and should either be removed or moved down a little bit. This kernel patch takes the latter option.

2009-06-09e1000e: Fixes possible phy corrupton on 82571 designs.Dave Graham
Phy corruption has been observed on 2-port 82571 adapters, and is root-caused to lack of synchronization between the 2 driver instances, which conflict when attempting to access the phy via the single MDIC register. A semaphore exists for this purpose, and is now used on these designs. Because PXE &/or EFI boot code (which we cannot expect to be built with this fix) may leave the inter-instance semaphore in an invalid initial state when the driver first loads, this fix also includes a one-time (per driver load) fix-up of the semaphore initial state.

2009-06-08net: skb_shared_info optimizationEric Dumazet
skb_dma_unmap() is quite expensive for small packets, because we use two different cache lines from skb_shared_info. One to access nr_frags, one to access dma_maps[0] Instead of dma_maps being an array of MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1 elements, let dma_head alone in a new dma_head field, close to nr_frags, to reduce cache lines misses.

This patch provides support for the next generation Intel desktop and mobile gigabit ethernet LOM adapters. These adapters are the follow-on parts to the LOMs tied to the prior ICH chipsets and are comprised of a MAC in the PCH chipset and an external PHY (82577 for mobile and 82578 for desktop versions).

after the recent changes to wired drivers to use only netif_carrier_off the driver can have outstanding tx work to complete that will never complete once link is down. Since the intel hardware will hold this tx work forever, the driver notices a tx timeout condition internally and might try to instigate printk and reset of the part with a netif_stop_queue, which doesn't work because link is down.

2009-04-20e1000e: indicate link down at loadJesse Brandeburg
As reported by Andrew Lutomirski <amluto@gmail.com> All the intel wired ethernet drivers were calling netif_carrier_off and netif_stop_queue (or variants) before calling register_netdevice This is incorrect behavior as was pointed out by davem, and causes ifconfig and friends to report a strange state before first link after the driver was loaded, since without a netif_carrier_off, the stack assumes carrier_on, but before register_netdev, netlink messages are not sent out telling link state. This apparently confused *some* versions of networkmanager.

2009-03-26e1000e: fix loss of multicast packetsJesse Brandeburg
e1000e (and e1000, igb, ixgbe, ixgb) all do a series of operations each time a multicast address is added. The flow goes something like 1) stack adds one multicast address 2) stack passes whole current list of unicast and multicast addresses to driver 3) driver clears entire list in hardware 4) driver programs each multicast address using iomem in a loop This was causing multicast packets to be lost during the reprogramming process. reference with test program: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2009/3/14/5160514/thread Thanks to Dave Boutcher for his report and test program. This driver fix prepares an array all at once in memory and programs it in one shot to the hardware, not requiring an "erase" cycle.

As with igb, when the e1000e driver is fed 802.1q packets with hardware checksum on, it chokes with an error of the form: checksum_partial proto=81! As the logic there was not smart enough to look into the vlan header to pick out the encapsulated protocol. There are times when we'd like to send these packets out without having to configure a vlan on the interface. Here we check for the vlan tag and allow the packet to go out wiht the correct hardware checksum. Thanks to Kand Ly <kand@riverbed.com> for discovering the issue and the coming up with a solution.

2009-01-07resource: allow MMIO exclusivity for device driversArjan van de Ven
Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device. As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings. This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned. NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set. In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field, drivers issues from userspace.
