ewrk3/tulip: Move the DEC - Tulip drivers

2011-08-12T07:21:25+00:00

Move the DEC - Tulip driver into drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. The Digital Equioment (DEC) driver ewrk3 was moved into drivers/net/ethernet/dec/ and the remaining drivers (Tulip) were moved into drivers/net/ethernet/dec/tulip/ CC: Tobias Ringstrom CC: Grant Grundler CC: David Davies Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Acked-by: Grant Grundler

drivers/net: Omit check for multicast bit in netdev_for_each_mc_addr

2011-07-08T16:03:20+00:00

There is no need to check for the address being a multicast address in the netdev_for_each_mc_addr loop, so remove it. This patch covers all remaining network drivers still containing such a check. Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API

2011-04-29T21:03:01+00:00

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by: David Decotigny Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identification

2011-04-15T04:15:49+00:00

When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation, it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states. Some drivers may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals. This patch changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for identifying an adapter. The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id. Compile tested only. Also fixes a compiler warning in sfc. v2: drivers do not return -EINVAL for ETHOOL_ID_ACTIVE v3: fold patchset into single patch and cleanup per Ben's feedback Signed-off-by: Bruce Allan Cc: Ben Hutchings Cc: Sathya Perla Cc: Subbu Seetharaman Cc: Ajit Khaparde Cc: Michael Chan Cc: Eilon Greenstein Cc: Divy Le Ray Cc: Don Fry Cc: Jon Mason Cc: Solarflare linux maintainers Cc: Steve Hodgson Cc: Stephen Hemminger Cc: Matt Carlson Acked-by: Jon Mason Acked-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.

drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-14T07:19:28+00:00

This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. It also does not remove null void functions with return. Done via: $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \ xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }' with some cleanups by hand. Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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

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.
