Trying to build with CONFIG_NE2000=m fails with: scripts/mod/modpost -o /tmp/tmp/linux-2.6.27-rc1/Module.symvers -S -s ERROR: "NS8390_init" [drivers/net/ne.ko] undefined! This is because the split of 8390 into pausing and non-pausing versions was incompletely propagated to ne.c. This fixes it.

Breno Leitao authored
On s2io driver, when you change the interface MTU, it invokes a card reset, which flush some statistics. This patch solves this problem, and also set the net_device->stats as the default statistics structure, instead of s2io_nic->stats. To do that, s2io_nic->stats turned into a staging area, where is saved statistics of the last hardware statistics query. So, the difference between the current hardware statistics and s2io_nic->stats, is the value that should be summed up, in order to get the correct statistics value, even after a reset.

David Brownell authored
Recent changes to the IRQ framework have made passing the wrong trigger type to request_irq() become a fatal error. In the case of the enc28j60 driver, it stopped working in my test harness. (Specifically: the signal detects "pin change" events, both edges, not just falling edges. Similarly, other boards might route it through an inverter. Trigger type are board-specific.) This fixes that problem by the usual fix of expecting board setup code to have set up the correct IRQ trigger type. The best known example of that being x86 setup.

Piss-poor sysctl registration API strikes again, film at 11... What we really need is _pathname_ required to be present in already registered table, so that kernel could warn about bad order. That's the next target for sysctl stuff (and generally saner and more explicit order of initialization of ipv[46] internals wouldn't hurt either). For the time being, here are full fixups required by ..._rotable() stuff; we make per-net sysctl sets descendents of "ro" one and make sure that sufficient skeleton is there before we start registering per-net sysctls.

The last_sector_bug flag was added to work around a bug in certain usb cardreaders, where they would crash if a multiple sector read included the last sector. The original implementation avoids this by e.g. splitting an 8 sector read which includes the last sector into a 7 sector read, and a single sector read for the last sector. The flag is enabled for all USB devices. This revealed a second bug in other usb cardreaders, which crash when they get a multiple sector read which stops 1 sector short of the last sector. Affected hardware includes the Kingston "MobileLite" external USB cardreader and the internal USB cardreader on the Asus EeePC. Extend the last_sector_bug workaround to ensure that any access which touches the last 8 hardware sectors of the device is a single sector long. Requests are shrunk as necessary to meet this constraint. This gives us a safety margin against potential unknown or future bugs affecting multi-sector access to the end of the device. The two known bugs only affect the last 2 sectors. However, they suggest that these devices are prone to fencepost errors and that multi-sector access to the end of the device is not well tested. Popular OS's use multi-sector accesses, but they rarely read the last few sectors. Linux (with udev & vol_id) automatically reads sectors from the end of the device on insertion. It is assumed that single sector accesses are more thoroughly tested during development.

Minor cleanups for the MMC/SD support on avr32: - Make at32_add_device_mci() properly initialize "missing" platform data ... so boards like STK1002 won't try GPIO 0. - Switch over to gpio_is_valid() instead of testing for only one designated value. - Provide STK1002 platform data for the unlikely case that switches are set so first Ethernet controller isn't in use. (That's the only way to get card detect and writeprotect switch sensing on the STK1000.) And get rid of one "unused variable" warning.

Piss-poor sysctl registration API strikes again, film at 11... What we really need is _pathname_ required to be present in already registered table, so that kernel could warn about bad order. That's the next target for sysctl stuff (and generally saner and more explicit order of initialization of ipv[46] internals wouldn't hurt either). For the time being, here are full fixups required by ..._rotable() stuff; we make per-net sysctl sets descendents of "ro" one and make sure that sufficient skeleton is there before we start registering per-net sysctls.
