f4e8ab7cc4 smsc95xx: generate random MAC address once, not every ifup
The smsc95xx driver currently generates a new random MAC address
every time the interface is brought up. This makes it impossible to
override using the standard `ifconfig hw ether` approach.

Past patches tried to make the MAC address a module parameter or
base it off the die ID, but it seems to me much simpler (and
hopefully less controversial) to stick with the current random
generation scheme, but allow the user to change the address.

This patch does exactly that - it moves the random address
generation from smsc95xx_reset() into smsc95xx_bind(), so that it is
done once on module load, not on every ifup. The user can then
override this using the standard mechanisms.

Applies against 2.6.35 and linux-2.6 head.

eab6d18d20 vlan: Don't check for vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present.
Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb.  There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances.  However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.

 ---[ end trace 1395ad691cea24d1 ]---

It occurs because of my recent netpoll blocking patches, which I added to avoid
recursive deadlock in the bonding driver.  It relies on some per cpu bits, but
the shutdown path forces some rescheduling as we cancel workqueues for the
driver and wait for some device refcounts.  If after the forced reschedule, we
wind up on a different cpu we trigger the bughalt in unblock_netpoll_tx.

The fix is to remove the netpoll block/unblock calls from bond_release_all.
This is safe to do because bond_uninit, which is called via ndo_uninit in
rollback_registered_many, doesn't occur until we send a NETDEV_UNREGISTER event,
which triggers netconsole to remove us as a netpoll client, so we are guaranteed
not to recurse into our own tx path here.

__netpoll_cleanup interior function instead, and fixing up the additional

e843fa5088 bonding: Fix deadlock in bonding driver resulting from internal locking when using netpoll
The monitoring paths in the bonding driver take write locks that are shared by
the tx path.  If netconsole is in use, these paths can call printk which puts us
in the netpoll tx path, which, if netconsole is attached to the bonding driver,
result in deadlock (the xmit_lock guards are useless in netpoll_send_skb, as the
monitor paths in the bonding driver don't claim the xmit_lock, nor should they).
The solution is to use a per cpu flag internal to the driver to indicate when a
cpu is holding the lock in a path that might recusrse into the tx path for the
driver via netconsole.  By checking this flag on transmit, we can defer the
sending of the netconsole frames until a later time using the retransmit feature
of netpoll_send_skb that is triggered on the return code NETDEV_TX_BUSY.  I've
tested this and am able to transmit via netconsole while causing failover
conditions on the bond slave links.

c2355e1ab9 bonding: Fix bonding drivers improper modification of netpoll structure
The bonding driver currently modifies the netpoll structure in its xmit path
while sending frames from netpoll.  This is racy, as other cpus can access the
netpoll structure in parallel. Since the bonding driver points np->dev to a
slave device, other cpus can inadvertently attempt to send data directly to
slave devices, leading to improper locking with the bonding master, lost frames,
and deadlocks.  This patch fixes that up.

This patch also removes the real_dev pointer from the netpoll structure as that
data is really only used by bonding in the poll_controller, and we can emulate
its behavior by check each slave for IS_UP.

c6ce3854f0 e1000e: Fix for offline diag test failure at first call
Move link test call to later in the offline sequence, move the
restore settings block to afterwards and add another reset to ensure
the hardware is in a known state afterwards.

12dcd86b75 igb: fix stats handling
There are currently some problems with igb.

- On 32bit arches, maintaining 64bit counters without proper
synchronization between writers and readers.

- Stats updated every two seconds, as reported by Jesper.
   (Jesper provided a patch for this)

- Potential problem between worker thread and ethtool -S

This patch uses u64_stats_sync, and convert everything to be 64bit safe,
SMP safe, even on 32bit arches. It integrates Jesper idea of providing
accurate stats at the time user reads them.

7a9905e642 netxen: fix race in tx stop queue
There is race between netif_stop_queue and netif_stopped_queue
check.So check once again if buffers are available to avoid race.
With above logic we can also get rid of tx lock in process_cmd_ring.
