The scatter-gather feature will allow to enable the Generic Segmentation Offload.
Generic Segmentation Offload can be enabled/disabled using ethtool -K DEVNAME gso on|off.

e.g:
ethtool -K eth0 gso off

When enabled, the driver may be provided with socket buffers splitted into many fragments.
These fragments need to be queued into the TX ring in reverse order, starting from to the
last one down to the first one, to avoid a race condition with the MAC.
Especially the 'TX_USED' bit in word 1 of the transmit buffer descriptor of the
first fragment should be cleared at the very final step of the queueing algorithm.
This will tell the hardware that fragments are ready to be sent.

Also since the MAC only update the status word of the first buffer descriptor of the
ethernet frame, the queueing algorithm can no longer expect a 'TX_USED' bit to be set by
the MAC into the buffer descriptor following the one for last fragment of the skb.
This is why the driver sets the 'TX_USED' bit before queueing any fragment, so the end of
queue position is well defined for the MAC.

Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2014-07-24

This series contains updates to igb, ixgbe, i40e and i40evf.

Mark fixes a possible attempt to dereference a NULL pointer in ixgbe_probe().
Also changes some uses of strncpy to strlcpy when clearing is not needed to
prevent information leakage.

Jacob fixes a bug in the misuse of the list_for_each macro to loop over
every entry in the bus_list.  Instead of attempting to loop over the list
from a random entry point, go up to the bus and use the real list_head
entry point.  This prevents the possible read or write of unallocated or
incorrectly addressed memory.  Then provides a patch to prevent the
display of the minimum link qualification check if we might be in a
virtual machine.  This check is incorrect and misleading in this case,
since we actually do not really know what the available bandwidth is.
To do so, we simply check whether each function on the bus matches our
device id.

Carolyn adds a check and prints the error cause register value when the
hardware detects a malformed packet to assist the user.

Toralf Förster fixes a format mismatch in i40e which was found using
cppcheck.

Shannon adds nvmupdate support by implementing a state machine intended
to support the userland tool for updating the device eeprom.

Jesse fixes the extension header checksum logic for IPv6 in i40e and
i40evf.

Mitch reduces a delay in the i40evf driver where we do not need to
delay an entire millisecond to get into our critical section.

Kamil fixes an issue where access to the NVM was being blocked until
a driver reset where a check for NVM related admin queue commands
would not recognize that such a command was received and would not clear
nvm_busy flag.

The sample action is rather generic, allowing arbitrary actions to be
executed based on a probability. However its use, within the Open
vSwitch
code-base is limited: only a single user-space action is ever nested.

A consequence of the current implementation of sample actions is that
depending on weather the sample action executed (due to its probability)
any side-effects of nested actions may or may not be present before
executing subsequent actions.  This has the potential to complicate
verification of valid actions by the (kernel) datapath. And indeed
adding support for push and pop MPLS actions inside sample actions
is one case where such case.

In order to allow all supported actions to be continue to be nested
inside sample actions without the potential need for complex
verification code this patch changes the implementation of the sample
action in the kernel datapath so that sample actions are more like
a function call and any side effects of nested actions are not
present when executing subsequent actions.

With the above in mind the motivation for this change is twofold:

* To contain side-effects the sample action in the hope of making it
  easier to deal with in the future and;
* To avoid some rather complex verification code introduced in the MPLS
  datapath patch.

Give link a little more time to come back up after setting flow control
before resetting. In the new NVMs it is taking longer for link to come back.
This causes the driver to attempt to reset the link, which then errors
because the firmware was already in the middle of a reset. Also, initialize
err to 0.

This implements a state machine intended to support the userland tool for
updating the device eeprom. The state machine implements one-shot reads,
writes, multi-step write sessions, and checksum requests. If we're in the middle
of a multi-step write session, no one should fire off other writes, however, one
shot reads are valid. The userland tool is expected to keep track of its session
status, arrange the placement and ordering of the writes, and deal with the
checksum requirement.

This patch also adds nvmupdate support to ethtool callbacks.
The get_eeprom() and set_eeprom() services in ethtool are used here to
facilitate the userland NVMUpdate tool.  The 'magic' value in the get and
set commands is used to pass additional control information for managing
the read and write steps.

The read operation works both as normally expected in the standard ethtool
method, as well as with the extra NVM controls.  The write operation
works only for the expanded NVM functions - the normal ethtool method is
not allowed because of the NVM semaphore management needed for multipart
writes, as well as the checksum requirement.
