VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
actual purpose.

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);

<title>e100/e1000*/igb*/ixgb*: Add missing read memory barrier</title>

<id>2d0bb1c1f4524befe9f0fcf0d0cd3081a451223f</id>
<content type='text'>
Based on patches from Sonny Rao and Milton Miller...

Combined the patches to fix up clean_tx_irq and clean_rx_irq.

The PowerPC architecture does not require loads to independent bytes
to be ordered without adding an explicit barrier.

In ixgbe_clean_rx_irq we load the status bit then load the packet data.
With packet split disabled if these loads go out of order we get a
stale packet, but we will notice the bad sequence numbers and drop it.

The problem occurs with packet split enabled where the TCP/IP header
and data are in different descriptors. If the reads go out of order
we may have data that doesn't match the TCP/IP header. Since we use
hardware checksumming this bad data is never verified and it makes it
all the way to the application.

This bug was found during stress testing and adding this barrier has
been shown to fix it.  The bug can manifest as a data integrity issue
(bad payload data) or as a BUG in skb_pull().

This was a nasty bug to hunt down, if people agree with the fix I think
it's a candidate for stable.

Previously Submitted to e1000-devel only for ixgbe

http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&amp;m=126593062701537&amp;w=3

We've now seen this problem hit with other device drivers (e1000e mostly)
So I'm resubmitting with fixes for other Intel Device Drivers with
similar issues.

Both igbvf and ixgbevf should set addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_RANDOM
so udev creates persistent net rules by matching the device path.
Do this by using the dev_hw_addr_random helper function.

All current users of pm_qos_add_request() have the ability to supply
the memory required by the pm_qos routines, so make them do this and
eliminate the kmalloc() with pm_qos_add_request().  This has the
double benefit of making the call never fail and allowing it to be
called from atomic context.
