ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API

2011-04-29T21:03:01+00:00

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by: David Decotigny Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Use full 32 bit speed range in ethtool's set_settings

2011-04-29T21:03:00+00:00

This makes sure the ethtool's set_settings() callback of network drivers don't ignore the 16 most significant bits when ethtool calls their set_settings(). All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig on x86_64 have been updated. Signed-off-by: David Decotigny Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

b44: fix workarround for wap54g10

2010-12-01T19:11:31+00:00

The code for the b44_wap54g10_workaround was never included, because the config option was wrong. The nvram_get function was never in mainline kernel, only in external OpenWrt patches. The code should be compiled in when CONFIG_BCM47XX is selected and not when CONFIG_SSB_DRIVER_MIPS is selected, because nvram_getenv is only available on bcm47xx platforms and now in the mainline kernel code. Using an include is better than a second function declaration, to fix this when the function signature changes. Signed-off-by: Hauke Mehrtens Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

b44: fix resume, request_irq after hw reset

2010-10-21T11:25:50+00:00

On resume, call request_irq() after resetting the hardware rather than before. It's a shared interrupt so the handler could be called immediately if another device on the same irq interrupts (and will be called immediately if CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ=y), but unless the hardware is reinitialised with b44_init_hw() the read of the interrupt status register will hang the system.

b44: fix carrier detection on bind

2010-10-11T22:45:35+00:00

For carrier detection to work properly when binding the driver with a cable unplugged, netif_carrier_off() should be called after register_netdev(), not before. Signed-off-by: Paul Fertser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: avoid some skb->ip_summed initializations

2010-09-03T02:06:22+00:00

fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0) We can avoid setting again skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers. Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this assertion documented in driver sources. Change most occurrences of : skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE; by : skb_checksum_none_assert(skb); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
