net: fix up a few missing hashtable.h conflict resolutions

2016-08-13T21:51:02+00:00

There are a couple of leftover symbol conflicts caused by hashtable.h
being included by netdevice.h; those were not caught as build failure
(they're "only" a warning, but in fact real bugs). Fix those up.

treewide: replace dev->trans_start update with helper

2016-05-04T18:16:49+00:00

Replace all trans_start updates with netif_trans_update helper.
change was done via spatch:

struct net_device *d;
@@
- d->trans_start = jiffies
+ netif_trans_update(d)

Compile tested only.

drivers: net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of NETDEV_TX_LOCKED

2016-04-26T19:53:05+00:00

These drivers already call netif_stop_queue() so we should not be called
unless tx space is available.  Just free the skb and return TX_OK.

Followup patch will remove NETDEV_TX_LOCKED from the kernel.

net: tulip: Use setup_timer()

2016-02-25T21:51:04+00:00

Convert a call to init_timer and accompanying intializations of
the timer's data and function fields to a call to setup_timer.

The Coccinelle semantic patch that fixes this problem is
as follows:

// 
@@
expression t,f,d;
@@

-init_timer(&t);
+setup_timer(&t,f,d);
-t.data = d;
-t.function = f;
//

net: tulip: turn compile-time warning into dev_warn()

2015-11-20T16:02:48+00:00

The tulip driver causes annoying build-time warnings for allmodconfig
builds for all recent architectures:

dec/tulip/winbond-840.c:910:2: warning: #warning Processor architecture undefined
dec/tulip/tulip_core.c:101:2: warning: #warning Processor architecture undefined!

This is the last remaining warning for arm64, and I'd like to get rid of
it. We don't really know the cache line size, architecturally it would
be at least 16 bytes, but all implementations I found have 64 or 128
bytes. Configuring tulip for 32-byte lines as we do on ARM32 seems to
be the safe but slow default, and nobody who cares about performance these
days would use a tulip chip anyway, so we can just use that.

To save the next person the job of trying to find out what this is for
and picking a default for their architecture just to kill off the warning,
I'm now removing the preprocessor #warning and turning it into a pr_warn
or dev_warn that prints the equivalent information when the driver gets
loaded.

drivers/net: get rid of unnecessary initializations in .get_drvinfo()

2015-10-16T07:24:10+00:00

Many drivers initialize uselessly n_priv_flags, n_stats, testinfo_len,
eedump_len & regdump_len fields in their .get_drvinfo() ethtool op.
It's not necessary as these fields is filled in ethtool_get_drvinfo().

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.
