This patch clears the irqstatus register with the exact same events it
has read from it. Since the read-write operation is not atomic, a new
irqstatus bit could have been set in between these operations and would
then be cleared accidentally.
Secondly, we now don't need any spin lock protection when
scheduling/completing napi poll as the isr will not execute anymore (as
we turn off all interrupts now).

This patch modifies the throughput mode poll settings to reduce the
number of interrupts. This is only used by older hardware that need a
timer irq in throughput mode.
Secondly, this patch increases the default rx ring from 128 to 512. This
drastically improves bandwidth utilization for small packets sizes i.e
512 bytes.

This patch adds the logic to moderate the interrupts by changing the
mode between throughput and poll. If there has been a large amount of
time without any burst of network load, the code will transition to pure
throughput mode (where each tx/rx/other will cause an interrupt). If
bursts of network load occurs, it will transition to poll based mode to
help reduce cpu utilization (it will not interrupt on each packet) while
maintaining the optimum network bandwidth utilization.

A new optimization mode called Dynamic has been added. This will be mode
where interrupt moderation logic will dynamically switch between pure
throughput mode and poll based (called 'cpu') mode.
Also, for newer chipsets, the timer irq is not needed for throughput
mode. Secondly, since we are modifying the irqmask to change between
modes, msix is not supported.

The napi poll routine has been modified to handle all interrupt events

This patch removes unnecessary overhead code. Firstly, there is no nead

This patch removes support for msix running in conjunction with napi.
There has been reported issues regarding the behaviour of irqmask and
generation of interrupts by the HW when in MSIX mode. When running napi,
the driver is constantly turning off/on the irqmask. For the time being,
I am going to disable it until I can root cause the issue.

Commit f55c21fd9a92a444e55ad1ca4e4732d56661bf2e ("forcedeth: call
restore mac addr in nv_shutdown path"), which was introduced to fix
the regression tracked at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11358 causes the
wake-on-lan mac to be reversed in the shutdown path. Apparently the
forcedeth situation is rather messy in that the mac we need to
writeback for a subsequent modprobe to work is exactly the reverse of
what is needed for proper wake-on-lan.
The following patch explains the situation in the comments and
makes the call to nv_restore_mac_addr() conditional (only called if
we are not really going for poweroff).

This is the last shoot of this series.
After I removing all directly reference of netdev->priv, I am killing
"priv" of "struct net_device" and fixing relative comments/docs.
Anyone will not be allowed to reference netdev->priv directly.
If you want to reference the memory of private data, use netdev_priv()
instead.
If the private data is not allocted when alloc_netdev(), use
netdev->ml_priv to point that memory after you creating that private
data.

Bring the physical link down when the interface is down by placing the PHY
in power-down state, unless WOL is enabled. This mirrors the behavior of
other drivers including e1000 and tg3.
Without the patch, ifconfig down leaves the physical link up, which confuses
datacenter users who expect the link lights both on the NIC and the switch to
go out when they bring an interface down.
Furthermore, even though the phy is powered on, autonegotiation stops working,
so a normally gigabit link might suddenly become 100 Mbit half-duplex when the
interface goes down, and become gigabit when it comes up again.
Ayaz said:
I would not include this patch until further testing is performed. NVIDIA
MCP chips use 3rd party PHY vendors. By powering down the phy, it could
have adverse affects on certain phys.

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

This eliminates the following often-generated warning from my 64 bit
Opteron SMP test stand:
eth0: too many iterations (6) in nv_nic_irq
According to the web, the problem is that the forcedeth driver has a
too-low value for max_interrupt_work. Grepping the kernel I see that
forcedeth has the second lowest value of all ethernet drivers (ie, 6).
Most are in the 20-40 range. So this patch increases this a bit, from 6
to 15 (at 15 forcedeth becomes the driver with third-lowest
max_interrupt_work value).
My test stand, which used to print out the above warnings repetitively
whenever it was under heavy net load, no longer does so.

Fix regression tracked as http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11361
and caused by commit f735a2a1a4f2a0f5cd823ce323e82675990469e2 ("[netdrvr]
forcedeth: setup wake-on-lan before shutting down") that makes network
adapters integrated into the NVidia MCP55 chipsets fail to work in kexeced
kernels. The problem appears to be that if the adapter is put into D3_hot
during ->shutdown(), it cannot be brought back into D0 after kexec (ref.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=121900062814967&w=4). Therefore, only
put forcedeth into D3 during ->shutdown() if the system is to be powered
off.

Fix the checksum feature advertised in device flags. The hardware support
TCP/UDP over IPv4 and TCP/UDP over IPv6 (without IPv6 extension headers).
However, the kernel feature flags do not distinguish IPv6 with/without
extension headers.
Therefore, the driver needs to use NETIF_F_IP_CSUM instead of
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM since the latter includes all IPv6 packets.
A future patch can be created to check for extension headers and perform
software checksum calculation.
