In order for the network device ops get_stats call to be immutable, the handling of the default internal network device stats block has to be changed.

2008-11-16virtio_net: VIRTIO_NET_F_MSG_RXBUF (imprive rcv buffer allocation)Mark McLoughlin
If segmentation offload is enabled by the host, we currently allocate maximum sized packet buffers and pass them to the host. This uses up 20 ring entries, allowing us to supply only 20 packet buffers to the host with a 256 entry ring. This is a huge overhead when receiving small packets, and is most keenly felt when receiving MTU sized packets from off-host. The VIRTIO_NET_F_MRG_RXBUF feature flag is set by hosts which support using receive buffers which are smaller than the maximum packet size. In order to transfer large packets to the guest, the host merges together multiple receive buffers to form a larger logical buffer. The number of merged buffers is returned to the guest via a field in the virtio_net_hdr. Make use of this support by supplying single page receive buffers to the host. On receive, we extract the virtio_net_hdr, copy 128 bytes of the payload to the skb's linear data buffer and adjust the fragment offset to point to the remaining data. This ensures proper alignment and allows us to not use any paged data for small packets. If the payload occupies multiple pages, we simply append those pages as fragments and free the associated skbs. This scheme allows us to be efficient in our use of ring entries while still supporting large packets. Benchmarking using netperf from an external machine to a guest over a 10Gb/s network shows a 100% improvement from ~1Gb/s to ~2Gb/s. With a local host->guest benchmark with GSO disabled on the host side, throughput was seen to increase from 700Mb/s to 1.7Gb/s. Based on a patch from Herbert Xu.

2008-11-16virtio_net: Recycle some more rx buffer pagesMark McLoughlin
Each time we re-fill the recv queue with buffers, we allocate one too many skbs and free it again when adding fails. We should recycle the pages allocated in this case. A previous version of this patch made trim_pages() trim trailing unused pages from skbs with some paged data, but this actually caused a barely measurable slowdown.

make mdio-gpio work with non OpenFirmware gpio implementation.

Changes since v2: - more #ifdefs reduction - platform driver will be registered on OF platforms also - unified platform and OF bus_id to phy%i Changes since v1: - removed NO_IRQ - reduced #idefs Laurent, please test this driver under OF.
