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.

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: use symbolic values for ndo_start_xmit() return codes

2009-06-13T08:18:50+00:00

Convert magic values 1 and -1 to NETDEV_TX_BUSY and NETDEV_TX_LOCKED respectively. 0 (NETDEV_TX_OK) is not changed to keep the noise down, except in very few cases where its in direct proximity to one of the other values. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macb: Add support of the netpoll API

2009-05-04T18:08:41+00:00

With this patch in place, I'm successfully able to use the netconsole mechanism with the Calao USB-A9263 board, which uses the AT91SAM9263 CPU, which in terms of Ethernet controller is supported by the macb driver.

macb: process the RX ring regardless of interrupt status

2009-04-17T08:30:34+00:00

Suppose that we receive lots of frames, start processing them, but exhaust our budget so that we return before we had a chance to look at all of them. Then, when the network layer calls us again, we will only continue processing the buffers if the REC bit was set in the mean time, which it might not be if there was a brief pause in the flow of packets. If this happens, we'll simply display a warning and call netif_rx_complete() with potentially lots of unprocessed packets in the RX ring... Fix this by scanning the ring no matter what flags are set in the interrupt status register. Signed-off-by: Erik Waling Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

macb: Handle Retry Limit Exceeded errors

2009-04-17T08:30:33+00:00

When transfering large amounts of data we sometimes experienced that the Retry Limit Exceeded (RLE) bit got set in TSR during transmission attempts. When this happened the driver would stall in a state that prevented any more data from being sent. Signed-off-by: Erik Waling Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
