* [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfixMark Brown2006-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | As documented in National application note 1287 the RX state machine on the natsemi chip can lock up under some conditions (mostly related to heavy load). When this happens a series of bogus packets are reported by the chip including some oversized frames prior to the final lockup. This patch implements the fix from the application note: when an oversized packet is reported it resets the RX state machine, dropping any currently pending packets.

* [PATCH] natsemi: NAPI and a bugfixMark Brown2006-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts the natsemi driver to use NAPI. It was originally based on one written by Harald Welte, though it has since been modified quite a bit, most extensively in order to remove the ability to disable NAPI since none of the other drivers seem to provide that functionality any more.

* [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers.David S. Miller2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

This has finally prompted me to do something about it :) Turns out that somebody wasn't following the documentation. We were doing 16-bit writes to 32-bit registers which led to some addresses working and others not so lucky. This patch should fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

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!
