qla3xxx: remove an extra semi-colon

2011-08-08T05:07:39+00:00

The define is only used one place, and it's at the end of a line so the semi-colon doesn't affect anything. But let's clean it up anyway. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: Remove casts of void *

2011-06-21T22:48:29+00:00

Unnecessary casts of void * clutter the code. These are the remainder casts after several specific patches to remove netdev_priv and dev_priv.

Add appropriate include for prefetch users

2011-05-23T04:41:57+00:00

After discovering that wide use of prefetch on modern CPUs could be a net loss instead of a win, net drivers which were relying on the implicit inclusion of prefetch.h via the list headers showed up in the resulting cleanup fallout. Give them an explicit include via the following $0.02 script. ========================================= #!/bin/bash MANUAL="" for i in `git grep -l 'prefetch(.*)' .` ; do grep -q '' $i if [ $? = 0 ] ; then continue fi ( echo '?^#include ' echo . echo w echo q ) | ed -s $i > /dev/null 2>&1 if [ $? != 0 ]; then echo $i needs manual fixup MANUAL="$i $MANUAL" fi done echo ------------------- 8\<---------------------- echo vi $MANUAL ========================================= Signed-off-by: Paul [ Fixed up some incorrect #include placements, and added some non-network drivers and the fib_trie.c case - Linus ] Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

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

drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers

2011-03-31T05:28:14+00:00

The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed. Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the type of entropy source it is. drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced with these add_*_randomness exported functions. Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq mitigation and NAPI. If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.
