Cover letter [PATCH net-next #3 0/8] via-rhine rework
The series applies against davem-next as of 9dd3c797496affd699805c8a9d8429ad318c892f ("drivers: net: xgene: fix kbuild warnings").
Patches #1..#4 avoid holes in the receive ring.
Patch #5 is a small leftover cleanup for #1..#4.
Patches #6 and #7 are fairly simple barrier stuff.
Patch #8 closes some SMP transmit races - not that anyone really complained about these but it's a bit hard to handwave that they can be safely ignored. Some testing, especially SMP testing of course, would be welcome.
. Changes since #2:
- added dma_rmb barrier in vlan related patch 6.
- s/wmb/dma_wmb/ in (*new*) patch 7 of 8.
- added explicit SMP barriers in (*new*) patch 8 of 8.
. Changes since #1:
- turned wmb() into dma_wmb() as suggested by davem and Alexander Duyck in patch 1 of 6.
- forgot to reset rx_head_desc in rhine_reset_rbufs in patch 4 of 6.
- removed rx_head_desc altogether in (*new*) patch 5 of 6
- remoed some vlan receive uglyness in (*new*) patch 6 of 6.
