Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-12-05
This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Alex provides a couple of patches to cleanup ixgbe. First cleans up the
page reuse code getting it into a state where all the workarounds needed
are in place as well as cleaning up a few minor oversights such as using
__free_pages instead of put_page to drop a locally allocated page. Then
cleans up the tail writes for the ixgbe descriptor queues.
Mark Peterson adds support to lookup MAC addresses in Open Firmware or
IDPROM.
Emil provides patches for ixgbe and ixgbevf to fix an issue on rmmod and
to add support for X550 in the VF driver. First removes the read/write
operations to the CIAA/D registers since it can block access to the PCI
config space and make use of standard kernel functions for accessing the
PCI config space. Then fixes an issue where the driver has logic to free
up used data in case any of the checks in ixgbe_probe() fail, however
there is a similar set of cleanups that can occur on driver unload in
ixgbe_remove() which can cause the rmmod command to crash.
Don provides the remaining patches in the series to complete the addition
of X550 support into the ixgbe driver.
