2008-10-08net: remove LLTX in atl2 driverKevin Hao
When NETIF_F_LLTX is set, the atlx driver will use a private lock. But in recent kernels this implementation seems redundant and can cause problems where AF_PACKET sees things twice. Since NETIF_F_LLTX is marked as deprecated and shouldn't be used in new driver, this patch removes NETIF_F_LLTX and adds a mmiowb before sending packet. I have tested this driver on a Eee PC. It works well. Signed-off-by: Kevin Hao <kexin.hao@windriver.com> Acked-by: Jay Cliburn <jacliburn@bellsouth.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2008-10-08PHY: Avoid unnecessary aneg restartsTrent Piepho
The PHY's aneg is configured and restarted whenever the link is brought up, e.g. when DHCP is started after the kernel has booted. This can take the link down for several seconds while auto-negotiation is redone. If the advertised features haven't changed, then it shouldn't be necessary to bring down the link and start auto-negotiation over again. genphy_config_advert() is enhanced to return 0 when the advertised features haven't been changed and >0 when they have been. genphy_config_aneg() then uses this information to not call genphy_restart_aneg() if there has been no change.

2008-10-03e1000e: Fix incorrect debug warningLinus Torvalds
Doing 'WARN_ON(preempt_count())' was horribly horribly wrong, and would cause tons of warnings at bootup if PREEMPT was enabled because the initcalls currently run with the kernel lock, which increments the preempt count. At the same time, the warning was also insufficient, since it didn't check that interrupts were enabled. The proper debug function to use for something that can sleep and wants a warning if it's called in the wrong context is 'might_sleep()'.
