<title>gianfar: Fix crashes on RX path (Was Re: [Bugme-new] [Bug 19692] New: linux-2.6.36-rc5 crash with gianfar ethernet at full line rate traffic)</title>

<content type='text'>
The rx_recycle queue is global per device but can be accesed by many
napi handlers at the same time, so it needs full skb_queue primitives
(with locking). Otherwise, various crashes caused by broken skbs are
possible.

This patch resolves, at least partly, bugzilla bug 19692. (Because of
some doubts that there could be still something around which is hard
to reproduce my proposal is to leave this bug opened for a month.)

Fixes commit: 0fd56bb5be6455d0d42241e65aed057244665e5e ("gianfar: Add
support for skb recycling")

<title>vlan: Don't check for vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present.</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0)

We can avoid setting again skb-&gt;ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers.

Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this
assertion documented in driver sources.

Change most occurrences of :

skb-&gt;ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE;

by :

skb_checksum_none_assert(skb);

This patch removes the abstraction introduced by the union skb_shared_tx in
the shared skb data.

The access of the different union elements at several places led to some
confusion about accessing the shared tx_flags e.g. in skb_orphan_try().

of_device is just an alias for platform_device, so remove it entirely.  Also
replace to_of_device() with to_platform_device() and update comment blocks.

This patch was initially generated from the following semantic patch, and then
