[patch 10/21] driver/net/skge.c: restart the interface when it's options or pauseparam is set

[akpm]

From: "Xiaoming.Zhang" <Xiaoming.Zhang@resilience.com>

We have an issue of the skge driver: The card won't work when it's options
are changed.  Here's the hardware info:

# lspci -v
05:04.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 13)
        Subsystem: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Marvell RDK-8001
        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 16
        Memory at d042c000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
        I/O ports at d000 [size=256]
        [virtual] Expansion ROM at 20400000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data

The happens in both Linux-2.6.26(skge version 1.23) and RHEL5.2(skge
version 1.6).

For example, at first it is set to "speed 1000 duplex full auto-neg on" and
it works, then run

       ethtool -s <ethx> autoneg off
or     ethtool -s <ethx> speed 100 duplex full autoneg off

Then it will stop working. After that if we restart the interface:

	ifconifg <ethx> down
	ifconfig <ethx> up

It will work again. And `ethtool -A' has the same issue.

So we think after setting the options, the interface should be restarted.

Looks correct, don't have time or hardware setup right now to verify further.

Since skge_up can fail because of out of memory, this code needs to
check the return value. And then if it fails the "limbo state" needs
to be handled in skge_down.

How about like this? It is tested.

Thank you.
