amd-xgbe: Fix DMA API debug warning

2015-07-08T22:57:14+00:00

When running a kernel configured with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y a warning
is issued:
  DMA-API: device driver tries to sync DMA memory it has not allocated

This warning is the result of mapping the full range of the Rx buffer
pages allocated and then performing a dma_sync_single_for_cpu against
a calculated DMA address. The proper thing to do is to use the
dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu with a base DMA address and an offset.

amd-xgbe: Add the __GFP_NOWARN flag to Rx buffer allocation

2015-06-29T16:27:03+00:00

When allocating Rx related buffers, alloc_pages is called using an order
number that is decreased until successful. A system under stress can
experience failures during this allocation process resulting in a warning
being issued. This message can be of concern to end users even though the
failure is not fatal. Since the failure is not fatal and can occur
multiple times, the driver should include the __GFP_NOWARN flag to
suppress the warning message from being issued.

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

amd-xgbe: Unify coherency checking logic with device_dma_is_coherent()

2015-06-15T12:40:49+00:00

Currently, amd-xgbe driver has separate logic to determine device
coherency for DT vs. ACPI. This patch simplifies the code with
a call to device_dma_is_coherent().

amd-xgbe: Use disable_irq_nosync from within timer function

2015-06-07T07:21:12+00:00

Since the Tx timer function runs in softirq context the driver needs
to call disable_irq_nosync instead of a disable_irq.

amd-xgbe: Fix initial mode when auto-negotiation is disabled

2015-05-25T04:13:58+00:00

When the ethtool command is used to set the speed of the device while
the device is down, the check to set the initial mode may fail when
the device is brought up, causing failure to bring the device up.

Update the code to set the initial mode based on the desired speed if
auto-negotiation is disabled.

amd-xgbe: Add setting of a missing hardware feature

2015-05-25T04:13:58+00:00

The device private data structure contains all the defined hardware
features for the device. However one of the features is not set. Even
though the feature is not currently used, set it to avoid future
issues of the feature being checked thinking it has been properly set.
