net: trans_start cleanups

2010-05-10T12:01:31+00:00

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler. Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: Account for consumed budget in napi poll

2010-05-06T04:24:17+00:00

Repeated calls to nv_rx_process in napi poll routine do not take portion of budget that has been consumed in previous calls. Fix by subtracting the number of packets processed. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: Kill NAPI config options.

2010-05-04T06:33:05+00:00

All distributions enable it, therefore no significant body of users are even testing the driver with it disabled. And making NAPI configurable is heavily discouraged anyways. I left the MSI-X interrupt enabling thing in an "#if 0" block so hopefully someone can debug that and it can get re-enabled. Probably it was just one of the NVIDIA chipset MSI erratas that we work handle these days in the PCI quirks (see drivers/pci/quirks.c and stuff like nvenet_msi_disable()). Signed-off-by: David S.

forcedeth: GRO support

2010-05-04T06:24:19+00:00

Add GRO support to forcedeth. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: Stay in NAPI as long as there's work

2010-04-30T23:15:38+00:00

The following does the same thing without the extra overhead of testing all the registers. It also handles the out of memory case. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Tested-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers: net: use skb_headlen()

2010-04-14T23:11:33+00:00

replaces (skb->len - skb->data_len) occurrences by skb_headlen(skb) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

forcedeth: fix tx limit2 flag check

2010-04-14T01:49:51+00:00

This is a fix for bug 572201 @ bugs.debian.org This patch fixes the TX_LIMIT feature flag. The previous logic check for TX_LIMIT2 also took into account a device that only had TX_LIMIT set.

net: convert multicast list to list_head

2010-04-03T21:22:15+00:00

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list. +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global" variant) instead of a function parameter. +removes dev_mcast.c completely. +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers) Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
