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

macb: allow reception of large (>1518 bytes) frames

2010-04-08T04:53:41+00:00

Enable BIG bit in the network configuration register, so the MAC doesn't reject big frames (E.G. when vlans are used). Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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. Miller

net: convert multiple drivers to use netdev_for_each_mc_addr, part5 V2

2010-02-26T10:07:30+00:00

removed some needless checks and also corrected bug in lp486e (dmi was passed instead of dmi->dmi_addr) Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macb: straighten out macb_mii_probe function

2010-02-12T19:38:58+00:00

Use "phy_find_first" instead of manual lookup. Also use "phy_connect_direct" instead of "phy_connect" since we already have phy_device pointer here. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use netdev_mc_count and netdev_mc_empty when appropriate

2010-02-12T19:38:58+00:00

This patch replaces dev->mc_count in all drivers (hopefully I didn't miss anything). Used spatch and did small tweaks and conding style changes when it was suitable. Jirka Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

trivial: fix typos "man[ae]g?ment" -> "management"

netdev: drivers should make ethtool_ops const

2009-09-02T08:03:33+00:00

No need to put ethtool_ops in data, they should be const. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.
