drivers/net: delete old 8bit ISA 3c501 driver.
It was amusing that linux was able to make use of this 1980's
technology on machines long past its intended lifespan, but
it probably should go now.
To set some context, the 3c501 was designed in the 1980's to be
used on 8088 PC-XT 8bit ISA machines. It was built using a large
number of discrete TTL components and truly looks like a relic
of the ancient past before large scale integration was common.
But from a functional point of view, the real issue, as stated
in the (also obsolete) Ethernet-HowTo, is that "...the 3c501 can
only do one thing at a time -- while you are removing one packet
from the single-packet buffer it cannot receive another packet,
nor can it receive a packet while loading a transmit packet."
You know things are not good when the Kconfig help text suggests
you make a cron job doing a ping every minute.
Hardware that old and crippled is simply not going to be used by
anyone in a time where 10 year old 100Mbit PCI cards (that are
still functional) are largely give-away items.

2) ndisc_build_skb() with temporary ICMPv6 header and rather
criptic arguments.
- Calculate total length and allocate sk_buff
- Build IPv6 header.
- copy ICMPv6 header, additional data and ND options.
- Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum.
Here, structures defined for message format was not used
at all, it is difficult to understand what is being sent,
and it was not generic.
3) __ndisc_send()
- Allocate temporary dst.
- Send it.
Several issues:
- We could not defer decision if we should/can send some ND
option.
- It is hard to see the packet format at a glance.
- ICMPv6 header was built as temporary variable, and then
copied to the buffer.
- Some code path for Redirect was not shared.
With these patches, we do:
1) Calculate (or estimate) message length and option length.
2) Allocate skb (via new ndisc_skb_alloc()).
3) Fill-in ICMPv6 message directly using compound literals.
4) Fill-in ICMPv6 checksum
5) Build IPv6 header (including length)
6) Send the packet (via ndisc_send_skb()).
- allocate temporary dst and send it.
- We can defer calculating real length of the packet.
For example, we can give up filling some option at when
filling in.
- Message is built directly without temporary buffer.
- Structures defined for message format is easier to understand
what is being built.
- NS/NA/RS/Redirect share same logic.
- Reduced code/data size:

IEEE DCBx has a mechanism to change the default user priority. In
the normal case the OS can handle this via cgroups, iptables, socket,
options etc.
With SR-IOV and direct assigned VF devices the default priority
needs to be set by the PF device so the inserted VLAN tag is
correct.

enic: change sprintf() to snprintf()
These are copying data into 16 char arrays. They all specify that the
first string can't be more than 11 characters but once you add on the
"-rx-" and the NUL character there isn't space for the %d.
The first string is probably never going to be 11 characters, but if it
is then let's truncate the string instead of corrupting memory.

net: ethernet: davinci_cpdma: Add boundary for rx and tx descriptors
When there is heavy transmission traffic in the CPDMA, then Rx descriptors
memory is also utilized as tx desc memory looses all rx descriptors and the
driver stops working then.
This patch adds boundary for tx and rx descriptors in bd ram dividing the
descriptor memory to ensure that during heavy transmission tx doesn't use
rx descriptors.
This patch is already applied to davinci_emac driver, since CPSW and
davici_dmac shares the same CPDMA, moving the boundry seperation from
Davinci EMAC driver to CPDMA driver which was done in the following
commit
net/davinci: do not use all descriptors for tx packets
The driver uses a shared pool for both rx and tx descriptors.
During open it queues fixed number of 128 descriptors for receive
packets. For each received packet it tries to queue another
descriptor. If this fails the descriptor is lost for rx.
The driver has no limitation on tx descriptors to use, so it
can happen during a nmap / ping -f attack that the driver
allocates all descriptors for tx and looses all rx descriptors.
The driver stops working then.
To fix this limit the number of tx descriptors used to half of
the descriptors available, the rx path uses the other half.
Tested on a custom board using nmap / ping -f to the board from
two different hosts.

====================
This series contains updates to e1000e and igb. Most notably is the
added timestamp support in e1000e and additional software timestamp
support in igb. As well as, the added thermal data support and SR-IOV
configuration support in igb.
v2- dropped the following patches from the previous 14 patch series
because changes were requested from the community:
e1000e: add support for IEEE-1588 PTP
igb: Report L4 Rx hash via skb->l4_rxhash

To prevent a race condition where an skb has been saved to return the Tx

have an skb stored and, if so, free it.
