[NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.

2005-06-28T22:25:31+00:00

Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily. In these situations, the code roughly looks like: dev = dev_alloc_skb(...); [optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...); ... skb->tail ... But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything other than skb->data in these cases. Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed to do instead. Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups, skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Jeff Garzik

[PATCH] net/pcnet32: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep_interruptible()

2005-06-27T03:48:37+00:00

Use msleep_interruptible() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task delays as expected. Signed-off-by: Nishanth Aravamudan Signed-off-by: Maximilian Attems Signed-off-by: Domen Puncer

[PATCH] pcnet32: fix resource leak with loopback test

2005-05-15T22:22:29+00:00

When running the loopback test, resources are not properly released on completion. This patch frees all transmit resources after running the loopback test. Tested on ia32 and ppc64 hardware. Signed-off-by: Don Fry

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
