      ====================
      add hisilicon hip04 ethernet driver
      
      v13:
      - Fix the problem of alignment parameters for function and checkpatch warming.
      
      v12:
      - According Alex's suggestion, modify the changelog and add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE
        for hip04 ethernet.
      
      v11:
      - Add ethtool support for tx coalecse getting and setting, the xmit_more
        is not supported for this patch, but I think it could work for hip04,
        will support it later after some tests for performance better.
      
        Here are some performance test results by ping and iperf(add tx_coalesce_frames/users),
        it looks that the performance and latency is more better by tx_coalesce_frames/usecs.
      
        - Before:
          $ ping 192.168.1.1 ...
          === 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ===
          24 packets transmitted, 24 received, 0% packet loss, time 22999ms
          rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.180/0.202/0.403/0.043 ms
      
          $ iperf -c 192.168.1.1 ...
          [ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
          [  3]  0.0- 1.0 sec   115 MBytes   945 Mbits/sec
      
        - After:
          $ ping 192.168.1.1 ...
          === 192.168.1.1 ping statistics ===
          24 packets transmitted, 24 received, 0% packet loss, time 22999ms
          rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.178/0.190/0.380/0.041 ms
      
          $ iperf -c 192.168.1.1 ...
          [ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
          [  3]  0.0- 1.0 sec   115 MBytes   965 Mbits/sec
      
      v10:
      - According Arnd's suggestion, remove the skb_orphan and use the hrtimer
        for the cleanup of the TX queue and add some modification for the hip04
        drivers.
        1) drop the broken skb_orphan call
        2) drop the workqueue
        3) batch cleanup based on tx_coalesce_frames/usecs for better throughput
        4) use a reasonable default tx timeout (200us, could be shorted
           based on measurements) with a range timer
        5) fix napi poll function return value
        6) use a lockless queue for cleanup
      
      v9:
      - There is no tx completion interrupts to free DMAd Tx packets, it means taht
        we rely on new tx packets arriving to run the destructors of completed packets,
        which open up space in their sockets's send queues. Sometimes we don't get such
        new packets causing Tx to stall, a single UDP transmitter is a good example of
        this situation, so we need a clean up workqueue to reclaims completed packets,
        the workqueue will only free the last packets which is already stay for several jiffies.
        Also fix some format cleanups.
      
      v8:
      - Use poll to reclaim xmitted buffer as workaround since no tx done interrupt
      
      v7:
      - Remove select NET_CORE in 0002
      
      v6:
      - Suggest by Russell: Use netdev_sent_queue & netdev_completed_queue to solve latency issue
        Also shorten the period of timer, which is used to wakeup the queue since no
        tx completed interrupt.
      
      v5:
      - no big change, fix typo
      
      v4:
      - Modify accoringly to the suggetion from Arnd, Florian, Eric, David
        Use of_parse_phandle_with_fixed_args & syscon_node_to_regmap get ppe info
        Add skb_orphan() and tx_timer for reclaim since no tx_finished interrupt
        Update timeout, and move of_phy_connect to probe to reuse open/stop
      
      v3:
      - Suggest from Arnd, use syscon & regmap_write/read to replace static void __iomem *ppebase.
        Modify hisilicon-hip04-net.txt accrordingly to suggestion from Florian and Sergei.
      
      v2:
      - Got many suggestions from Russell, Arnd, Florian, Mark and Sergei
        Remove memcpy, use dma_map/unmap_single, use dma_alloc_coherent rather than dma_pool, etc.
        Refer property in ethernet.txt, change ppe description, etc.

      net/macb: improved ethtool statistics support · 3ff13f1c
      Xander Huff authored
      Currently `ethtool -S` simply returns "no stats available". It
      would be more useful to see what the various ethtool statistics
      registers' values are. This change implements get_ethtool_stats,
      get_strings, and get_sset_count functions to accomplish this.
      
      Read all GEM statistics registers and sum them into
      macb.ethtool_stats. Add the necessary infrastructure to make this
      accessible via `ethtool -S`.
      
      Update gem_update_stats to utilize ethtool_stats.

      xen-netfront: refactor making Tx requests
      
      As netfront as evolved to handle different sorts of skbs the code to
      fill a Tx requests has been copy and pasted several times.  The series
      refactors this and a few other areas.
      
      The first patch is to a Xen header but this can be merged via
      net-next.

      xen-netfront: refactor making Tx requests · a55e8bb8
      David Vrabel authored
      Eliminate all the duplicate code for making Tx requests by
      consolidating them into a single xennet_make_one_txreq() function.
      
      xennet_make_one_txreq() and xennet_make_txreqs() work with pages and
      offsets so it will be easier to make netfront handle highmem frags in
      the future.

      rhashtable: Lower/upper bucket may map to same lock while shrinking · 80ca8c3a
      Thomas Graf authored
      Each per bucket lock covers a configurable number of buckets. While
      shrinking, two buckets in the old table contain entries for a single
      bucket in the new table. We need to lock down both while linking.
      Check if they are protected by different locks to avoid a recursive
      lock.
