net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functions

2009-07-06T02:16:04+00:00

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK. Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be handled in a seperate patch. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

declance: Restore tx descriptor ring locking

2009-06-08T09:42:35+00:00

A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct all the time. This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip -- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral hardware as well as software. Either way this piece of code is buggy. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-2

2008-11-13T07:38:14+00:00

We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev). Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read. But it is too big to be sent in one mail. I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes, which is max size allowed by vger.

drivers/net: Kill now superfluous ->last_rx stores.

2008-11-04T05:11:17+00:00

The generic packet receive code takes care of setting netdev->last_rx when necessary, for the sake of the bonding ARP monitor. Drivers need not do it any more. Some cases had to be skipped over because the drivers were making use of the ->last_rx value themselves. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: convert print_mac to %pM

2008-10-28T00:06:18+00:00

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for now, no harm done. I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[netdrvr] irq handler minor cleanups in several drivers

2008-01-28T23:03:40+00:00

* use irq_handler_t where appropriate * no need to use 'irq' function arg, its already stored in a data struct * rename irq handler 'irq' argument to 'dummy', where the function has been analyzed and proven not to use its first argument. * remove always-false "dev_id == NULL" test from irq handlers * remove pointless casts from void* * declance: irq argument is not const * add KERN_xxx printk prefix * fix minor whitespace weirdness Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik
