Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing it. Performed with the following command: perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*' *` Signed-off-by: David Howells

3com/typhoon: reuse eth_mac_addr()

2012-02-22T19:46:37+00:00

Use eth_mac_addr() for .ndo_set_mac_address, remove typhoon_set_mac_address() since it do currently the same as eth_mac_addr(). Additional advantage: eth_mac_addr() already checks if the given address is valid. Signed-off-by: Danny Kukawka Acked-by: Dave Dillow Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2012-02-19T21:03:15+00:00

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_stats.c Small minor conflict in bnx2x, wherein one commit changed how statistics were stored in software, and another commit fixed endianness bugs wrt. reading the values provided by the chip in memory. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

3c59x: shorten timer period for slave devices

2012-02-14T21:28:23+00:00

Jean Delvare reported bonding on top of 3c59x adapters was not detecting network cable removal fast enough. 3c59x indeed uses a 60 seconds timer to check link status if carrier is on, and 5 seconds if carrier is off. This patch reduces timer period to 5 seconds if device is a bonding slave.

netdev: ethernet dev_alloc_skb to netdev_alloc_skb

2012-02-08T23:46:38+00:00

Replaced deprecating dev_alloc_skb with netdev_alloc_skb in drivers/net/ethernet - Removed extra skb->dev = dev after netdev_alloc_skb Signed-off-by: Pradeep A Dalvi Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: Remove alloc_etherdev error messages

2012-01-31T21:20:48+00:00

alloc_etherdev has a generic OOM/unable to alloc message. Remove the duplicative messages after alloc_etherdev calls. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: fix up stale paths from driver reorg

2012-01-30T17:54:40+00:00

The reorganization of the driver layout in drivers/net left behind some stale paths in comments and in Kconfig help text. Bring them up to date. No actual change to any code takes place here. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker CC: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

sweep the floors and convert some .get_drvinfo routines to strlcpy

2011-11-08T20:11:57+00:00

Per the mention made by Ben Hutchings that strlcpy is now the preferred string copy routine for a .get_drvinfo routine, do a bit of floor sweeping and convert some of the as-yet unconverted ethernet drivers to it. Signed-off-by: Rick Jones Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: add skb frag size accessors

2011-10-19T07:10:46+00:00

To ease skb->truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize all references to skb frags size. Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
