Official patch to fix the r8169 frame length check error.
Based on this initial thread:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=126202972828626&w=1
This is the official patch to fix the frame length problems in the r8169
driver. As noted in the previous thread, while this patch incurs a performance
hit on the driver, its possible to improve performance dynamically by updating
the mtu and rx_copybreak values at runtime to return performance to what it was
for those NICS which are unaffected by the ideosyncracy (if there are any).
Summary:
A while back Eric submitted a patch for r8169 in which the proper
allocated frame size was written to RXMaxSize to prevent the NIC from dmaing too
much data. This was done in commit fdd7b4c330. A
long time prior to that however, Francois posted
126fa4b9ca, which expiclitly disabled the MaxSize
setting due to the fact that the hardware behaved in odd ways when overlong
frames were received on NIC's supported by this driver. This was mentioned in a
security conference recently:
http://events.ccc.de/congress/2009/Fahrplan//events/3596.en.html
It seems that if we can't enable frame size filtering, then, as Eric correctly
noticed, we can find ourselves DMA-ing too much data to a buffer, causing
corruption. As a result is seems that we are forced to allocate a frame which
is ready to handle a maximally sized receive.
This obviously has performance issues with it, so to mitigate that issue, this
patch does two things:
1) Raises the copybreak value to the frame allocation size, which should force
appropriately sized packets to get allocated on rx, rather than a full new 16k
buffer.
2) This patch only disables frame filtering initially (i.e., during the NIC
open), changing the MTU results in ring buffer allocation of a size in relation
to the new mtu (along with a warning indicating that this is dangerous).
Because of item (2), individuals who can't cope with the performance hit (or can
otherwise filter frames to prevent the bug), or who have hardware they are sure
is unaffected by this issue, can manually lower the copybreak and reset the mtu
such that performance is restored easily.

When using VT6410/6415/6330 chips on some VIA's platforms, the HDD
connection to VT6410/6415/6330 cannot be detected.
It is because the driver detects wrong via_isa_bridge ID, and then
causes this issue to happen.

This is quite similar to b39fe41f48
though said registers are not even documented as 64-bit registers
- as opposed to the initial TxDescStartAddress ones - but as single
bytes which must be combined into 32 bits at the MMIO read/write
level before being merged into a 64 bit logical entity.
Credits go to Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> for the MAR
registers (aka "multicast is broken for ages on ARM) and to

Round-robin (mode 0) does nothing to ensure that any multicast traffic
originally destined for the host will continue to arrive at the host when
the link that sent the IGMP join or membership report goes down. One of
the benefits of absolute round-robin transmit.
Keeping track of subscribed multicast groups for each slave did not seem
like a good use of resources, so I decided to simply send on the
curr_active slave of the bond (typically the first enslaved device that
is up). This makes failover management simple as IGMP membership
reports only need to be sent when the curr_active_slave changes. I
tested this patch and it appears to work as expected.

Previously the driver tweaked txqueuelen to avoid false Tx hang reports
seen at half duplex. This had the effect of overriding user set values
on link change/reset. Testing shows that adjusting only the timeout
factor is sufficient to prevent Tx hang reports at half duplex.
This patch removes all instances of tx_queue_len in the driver.

When running the offline diagnostic tests check to see if any VFs are
online. If so then only run the link test. This is necessary because
the VFs running in guest VMs aren't aware of when the PF is taken
offline for a diagnostic test. Also put a message to the system log
telling the system administrator to take the VFs offline manually if
(s)he wants to run a full diagnostic. Return 1 on each of the tests
not run to alert the user of the condition.
