net/faraday: Use ncsi_stop_dev()

2015-11-25T04:25:51+00:00

We're using ncsi_suspend_dev() to tear down NCSI device when bringing down the network interface. In ncsi_suspend_dev(), NCSI packets might be sent over NCSI link to stop the interface physically. However, the NCSI packets might not be sent successfully when the NCSI interface is down. In that case, we potentially release the buffers and their ring for twice exceptionally, which eventually leads to kernel crash. To resolve the above problem, this calls ncsi_stop_dev() to tear down the NCSI interface without sending NCSI packets over the link. At the same time, a flag (priv->enabled) introduced to avoid releasing the buffers and their rings for twice. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley

net/ncsi: Rename ncsi_stop_dev() to ncsi_suspend_dev()

2015-11-25T04:25:49+00:00

This renames ncsi_stop_dev() to ncsi_suspend_dev(). The NCSI device state ncsi_dev_state_stop_* are renamed to ncsi_dev_state_suspend_* accordingly. No logical changes introduced. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley

net/faraday: Enable offload checksum according to device-tree

2015-11-18T04:14:20+00:00

This enables IP/UDP/TCP offload checksum according to information passed on from bootloader through device-tree. The offload doesn't working properly when the interface works in NCSI mode. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan

net/faraday: Enable NCSI interface

2015-11-18T04:14:20+00:00

The NIC has the possibility to connect to NCSI package and channel. This supports NCSI enabled interface. When the network device is registered, the accompanying NCSI device is registered. When the interface is to be brought up, the NCSI device is started to probe NCSI topology and choose one active channel automatically. On the other handle, when the interface is to be brought down, the interface will be shuted down when the NCSI device is teared down. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: faraday: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:07+00:00

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS

2014-05-13T21:43:20+00:00

net: get rid of SET_ETHTOOL_OPS Dave Miller mentioned he'd like to see SET_ETHTOOL_OPS gone. This does that. Mostly done via coccinelle script: @@ struct ethtool_ops *ops; struct net_device *dev; @@ - SET_ETHTOOL_OPS(dev, ops); + dev->ethtool_ops = ops; Compile tested only, but I'd seriously wonder if this broke anything.

net: ftgmac100: remove empty MDIO bus reset function

2014-03-28T05:38:02+00:00

ftgmac100_mdiobus_reset() does nothing useful and is optional for the MDIO bus code, so let's just remove it. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ftgmac100: use kfree_skb() where appropriate

2014-01-18T02:54:13+00:00

In order to get correct drop monitor notifications for dropped packets, we should call kfree_skb() instead of dev_kfree_skb() Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26+00:00

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which has been submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
