The git commit 7c5026aa ("tg3: Add link state reporting to UMP firmware") introduced code that waits for previous firmware events to be serviced before attempting to submit a new event. Unfortunately that patch contained a bug that cause the driver to wait 2.5 seconds, rather than 2.5 milliseconds as intended. This patch fixes that bug. This bug revealed that not all firmware versions service driver events though. Since we do not know which versions of the firmware do and don't service these events, the driver needs some way to minimize the effects of the delay. This patch solves the problem by recording a jiffies timestamp when it submits an event to the hardware. If the jiffies counter shows that 2.5 milliseconds have already passed, a wait is not needed and the driver can proceed to submit a new event.

The ENABLE_ASF flag is set when DASH is enabled on the NIC, but DASH does not run on the RX CPU. Instead it runs on the APE. Consequently, the driver does not need to send "driver alive" updates to the RX CPU when the APE is present.

Broadcom's DASH (Desktop and mobile Architecture for System Hardware) implementation requires that the driver preserve particular register settings. If the driver does not preserve them, communication with the DASH firmware will be lost.

Recently, more status bits have been added to the APE status register. This patch refines the status register check so that the driver can send more events than it would have otherwise.

If the driver resets the chip while the APE is performing a register access, that register access will never complete and the APE will hang indefinitely. To prevent this race condition, the driver must acquire an APE mutex before resetting the chip. The APE will not attempt a register access until it acquires this lock.

Let me first state that disabling the route cache hash rebuild should not be done without extensive analysis on the risk profile and careful deliberation. However, there are times when this can be done safely or for testing. For example, when you have mechanisms for ensuring that offending parties do not exist in your network. This patch lets the user disable the rebuild if the interval is set to zero. This also incidentally fixes a divide-by-zero error with name-spaces. In addition, this patch makes the effect of an interval change immediate rather than it taking effect at the next rebuild as is currently the case.

In certain cases when ASF or other management firmware is running, the chip may be configured to always strip out the VLAN tag even when VLAN acceleration is not enabled. This causes some VLAN tagged packets to be received by the host stack without any knowledge that the original packet was VLAN tagged. We fix this by re-inserting the VLAN tag into the packet when necessary.

There doesn't seem to be a compelling reason why atl1e_setup_mac_ctrl() is marked as "inline": It's not used in any place where speed would matter much, and as long as it has only one caller non-ancient gcc versions anyway inline it automatically. This patch fixes the following compile error with gcc 3.4: <-- snip --> ...

On my test box with the Asus M3A32-MVP main board there is a regression from 2.6.26 related to suspend, hibernation and shutdown. Namely, if Wake-on-LAN is enabled with 'ethtool -s eth0 wol g', the box hangs solid during all of these operations, while executing either sky2_suspend(), or sky2_shutdown().
