My patch from a few weeks back (now in mainline), called "Cleanup skbs to
prevent unregister_netdevice() hanging", can cause our TX timeout code to
fire on machines with lots of VLANs (because it takes > 2 seconds between
when we stop the queues and when we're finished stopping the connections).
When that happens the TX timeout code freaks out and does a WARN_ON()
because as far as it's concerned there shouldn't be a TX timeout happening,
which is fair enough.
I have a "proper" fix for this, which is to a) do refcounting on
connections and b) implement a proper ack timer so we don't keep unacked
skbs lying around for ever. But for 2.6.12 I propose just supressing the
WARN_ON(). Users will still see the "NETDEV WATCHDOG" warning, but that's
not nearly as bad as a WARN_ON() which users interpret as an Oops.

MSI functionality is broken on the GC_LE x86 chipset that Serverworks
developed and that is being used in various platforms today. Broadcom is
going to push out to the kernel MSI enabled Gigabit drivers (in the very
near future), and we would like to make sure that MSI does not get
enabled on any platforms using the GC_LE chipset (device id 0x17).
Following the AMD 8131 example, I am including a patch to disable MSI
functionality when a GCNB_LE is detected. Please let me know if there
are any issues with this. This is a permanent fix for this chipset, as
the hardware will not be updated.

ftdi_sio: Avoid losing bytes at tty-ldisc.
This patch was originally developed by Daniel Smertnig. I
(Ian Abbott) made a few changes. It has been tested by both
Daniel and I, at least for raw, non-canonical receive data
processing.
Here is Daniel's original description of the patch:
===
During a project in which I was using a FTDI 232BM to
transmit data at relative high speeds (625kBit/s), I
noticed a problem where data was lost even if flow
control was enabled: The FTDI-Driver receives 512 Bytes
of data over USB at a time, which consists of 8 64-Byte
packets. Subtracting the 2 bytes of status information
included in each packet this gives 496 "real" data
bytes per read.
This data is passed (indirectly, via the flip buffers)
to the tty line discipline which takes care of
throttling when there the free buffer space reaches
TTY_THRESHOLD_THROTTLE (128). Because the FTDI driver
processes up to 496 bytes at a time, throttling won't
happen in time and the line discipline will discard the
remaining bytes.
To avoid this the patch passes data in 62-byte blocks
to the tty layer and checks the available space in the
ldisc-buffers. If there isn't enough free space,
processing the rest of the data is delayed using a
workqueue.
Note: The original problem should be easily
reproducible with a userspace program which does slow &
small reads.

This smoothes two imperfections:
- Increase number of LUNs per device from 4 to 9. The best solution
would be to remove this limit altogether, but that has to wait until
the time when more than 26 hosts are allowed.
- Replace mdelay with msleep in a probing routine.

Problem:
Incorrect md5sum when using ATAPI PIO mode to verify a distro CD.
Root cause: sg traverse problem.
In __atapi_pio_bytes(), if qc->cursg++ is increased and "goto
next_page" is executed, then sg is not updated to the new qc->cursg
and the old sg is overwritten with the new data.
Changes:
- Replace "goto next_page" with "goto next_sg" to make sg updated.

[AGPGART] Replace check_bridge_mode() with (bridge->mode & AGSTAT_MODE_3_0).
As mentioned earlier, the current check_bridge_mode() code assumes
that AGP bridges are PCI devices. This isn't always true. Definitely
not for HP zx1 chipset and the same seems to be the case for SGI's AGP
bridge.
The patch below fixes the problem by picking up the AGP_MODE_3_0 bit
from bridge->mode. I feel like I may be missing something, since I
can't see any reason why check_bridge_mode() wasn't doing that in the
first place. According to the AGP 3.0 specs, the AGP_MODE_3_0 bit is
determined during the hardware reset and cannot be changed, so it
seems to me it should be safe to pick it up from bridge->mode.
With the patch applied, I can definitely use AGP acceleration both
with AGP 2.0 and AGP 3.0 (one with an Nvidia card, the other with an
ATI FireGL card).
Unless someone spots a problem, please apply this patch so 3d
acceleration can work on zx1 boxes again.
This makes AGP work again on machines with an AGP bridge that isn't a
PCI device.

When Linux is running on the Xen virtual machine monitor, physical
addresses are virtualised and cannot be directly referenced by the AGP
GART. This patch fixes the GART driver for Xen by adding a layer of
abstraction between physical addresses and 'GART addresses'.
Architecture-specific functions are also defined for allocating and freeing
the GATT. Xen requires this to ensure that table really is contiguous from
the point of view of the GART.
These extra interface functions are defined as 'no-ops' for all existing
architectures that use the GART driver.

On some 5701 devices with older bootcode, the LED configuration bits in
SRAM may be invalid with value zero. The fix is to check for invalid
bits (0) and default to PHY 1 mode. Incorrect LED mode will lead to
error in programming the PHY.
Thanks to Grant Grundler for debugging the problem.
>From Grant:
| In May, 2004, tg3 v3.4 changed how MAC_LED_CTRL (0x40c) was getting
| programmed and how to determine what to program into LED_CTRL. The new
| code trusted NIC_SRAM_DATA_CFG (0x00000b58) to indicate what to write
| to LED_CTRL and MII EXT_CTRL registers. On "IOX Core Lan", SRAM was
| saying MODE_MAC (0x0) and that doesn't work.
