Ayaz wrote an update to the error handling for forcedeth (which I
modified heavily, thus all bugs are mine):
The ERROR4 bit is not a fatal error, it just indicates a mismatch
between the actual packet len and the len according to the 802.3 header.
The patch adds proper handling.
The patch also removes the code that drops all packets with RX_ERROR &
(!RX_FRAMINGERR): ERROR4 errors are also not fatal.
Hi Andrew, Jeff,
The iseries_veth driver is badly behaved in that it will keep TX packets
hanging around forever if they're not ACK'ed and the queue never fills up.
This causes the unregister_netdevice code to wait forever when we try to take
the device down, because there's still skbs around with references to our
struct net_device.
There's already code to cleanup any un-ACK'ed packets in veth_stop_connection()
but it's being called after we unregister the net_device, which is too late.
The fix is to rearrange the module exit function so that we cleanup any
outstanding skbs and then unregister the driver.

Hi Andrew, Jeff,
Under some strange circumstances the iseries_veth driver can leak skbs.
Fix is simply to call dev_kfree_skb() in the right place.
Fix up the comment as well.

Hi Andrew, Jeff,
The iseries_veth driver doesn't set dev->trans_start in it's TX path. This
will cause the net device watchdog timer to fire earlier than we want it to,
which causes the driver to needlessly reset its connections to other LPARs.

Hi Andrew, Jeff,
The iseries_veth driver has a logic bug which means it will erroneously
send packets to LPARs for which we don't have a connection.
This usually isn't a big problem because the Hypervisor call fails
gracefully and we return, but if packets are TX'ed during the negotiation
of the connection bad things might happen.
Regardless, the right thing is to bail early if we know there's no
connection.

[patch 10/10] s390: qeth bug fixes.
From: Frank Pavlic <pavlic@de.ibm.com>
qeth network driver related changes:
- due to OSA hardware changes in TCP Segmentation Offload
support we are able now to pack TSO packets too.
This fits perfectly in design of qeth buffer handling and
sending data respectively.
- remove skb_realloc_headroom from the sending path since
hard_header_len value provides enough headroom now.
- device recovery behaviour improvement
- bug fixed in Enhanced Device Driver Packing functionality

[patch 8/10] s390: fakell for high speed token ring.
From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com>
Implement fake-link-layer for high speed token ring. Without it
token ring packages get leading ethernet headers, which confuses

[patch 7/10] s390: qeth bug fixes.
From: Frank Pavlic <pavlic@de.ibm.com>
qeth network driver changes:
- Removed redundant code, use the same qeth_fill_buffer_frag
for TSO path either
- Using skb->frags solely is not correct since skb->data still
points to the beginning of the whole data, even when it is
a small portion we have to fill the qdio buffer with it.

[patch 3/10] s390: set online race in the lcs driver.
From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com>
There is a race between lcs_stopcard() and lcs_open_device() which
can lead to the error 'lcs: Error in starting channel, rc=-16'.
lcs_open_device() is invoked when 'ifconfig up' is called due to a
hotplug event, which is caused by register_netdev(). In parallel
lcs_stopcard() is executed. Both functions are sending lcs commands.
The second invocation fails with -EBUSY (-16) as return value.
Move invocation of register_netdev() after invocation of lcs_stopcard
to avoid the race.

[patch 2/10] s390: multicast address registration in lcs.
From: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com>
When setting lcs devices online you can run into an endless loop,
