net: Fix IXP 2000 network driver building.

2009-10-13T07:03:11+00:00

The IXP 2000 network driver was failing to build as it has its own statistics gathering which was not compatible with the recent network device operations changes. This patch fixes the driver in the obvious way and has been compile tested. I have been unable to get the ixp2000 maintainer to comment or test this fix.

drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()

2009-08-24T02:51:03+00:00

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel instability. The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb(). A functions set: local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() B functions set: local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng Acked-by: Matt Mackall Signed-off-by: David S.

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

net: Remove redundant NAPI functions

2009-01-21T22:33:50+00:00

Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from the NAPI functions named *netif_rx_* in commit 908a7a1, they are exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are therefore redundant.

net: Remove unused netdev arg from some NAPI interfaces.

2008-12-23T04:43:12+00:00

When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now vestigual net_device structure parameter. This patch cleans up that api by properly removing it.. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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

[ARM] Move include/asm-arm/arch-* to arch/arm/*/include/mach

This just leaves include/asm-arm/plat-* to deal with. Signed-off-by: Russell King

[ARM] Remove asm/hardware.h, use asm/arch/hardware.h instead

2008-08-07T08:40:08+00:00

Remove includes of asm/hardware.h in addition to asm/arch/hardware.h. Then, since asm/hardware.h only exists to include asm/arch/hardware.h, update everything to directly include asm/arch/hardware.h and remove asm/hardware.h. Signed-off-by: Russell King
