net: packetengines: remove obsolete yellowfin driver and vendor dir

2026-04-23T21:49:08+00:00

Similar to the hamachi driver, the yellowfin driver supports hardware that is over two decades old and no longer in active use. Since yellowfin was the last remaining driver in the packetengines vendor directory, we can now safely remove the entire directory and drop its associated references from the parent Kconfig and Makefile. This eliminates dead code and reduces the overall maintenance burden on the netdev subsystem.

net: packetengines: remove obsolete hamachi driver

2026-04-23T21:48:07+00:00

The PacketEngine Hamachi driver is for PCI hardware that has been obsolete for over two decades. It recently triggered arithmetic exceptions during automated fuzzing. As suggested by maintainers, remove the driver entirely to eliminate dead code and reduce the maintenance burden.

treewide, timers: Rename from_timer() to timer_container_of()

2025-06-08T07:07:37+00:00

Move this API to the canonical timer_*() namespace. [ tglx: Redone against pre rc1 ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aB2X0jCKQO56WdMt@gmail.com

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

move asm/unaligned.h to linux/unaligned.h

2024-10-02T21:23:23+00:00

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h; might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header. auto-generated by the following: for i in `git grep -l -w asm/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done for i in `git grep -l -w asm-generic/unaligned.h`; do sed -i -e "s/asm-generic\/unaligned.h/linux\/unaligned.h/" $i done git mv include/asm-generic/unaligned.h include/linux/unaligned.h git mv tools/include/asm-generic/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h sed -i -e "/unaligned.h/d" include/asm-generic/Kbuild sed -i -e "s/__ASM_GENERIC/__LINUX/" include/linux/unaligned.h tools/include/linux/unaligned.h

net: ethernet: move from strlcpy with unused retval to strscpy

2022-08-31T21:11:26+00:00

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used. Generated by a coccinelle script.

ethernet: use eth_hw_addr_set() in unmaintained drivers

2021-10-18T12:20:38+00:00

Commit 406f42fa0d3c ("net-next: When a bond have a massive amount of VLANs...") introduced a rbtree for faster Ethernet address look up. To maintain netdev->dev_addr in this tree we need to make all the writes to it got through appropriate helpers. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl

2021-07-27T19:11:45+00:00

Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP. Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands. This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find their way through the implementation.

hamachi: use ndo_siocdevprivate

2021-07-27T19:11:43+00:00

hamachi has one command that overloads the ifreq argument and requires a conversion to ndo_siocdevprivate in order to make compat mode work, so split it from ndo_ioctl. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
