* [NET]: Avoid allocating skb in skb_padHerbert Xu2006-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First of all it is unnecessary to allocate a new skb in skb_pad since the existing one is not shared. More importantly, our hard_start_xmit interface does not allow a new skb to be allocated since that breaks requeueing. This patch uses pskb_expand_head to expand the existing skb and linearize it if needed. Actually, someone should sift through every instance of skb_pad on a non-linear skb as they do not fit the reasons why this was originally created. Incidentally, this fixes a minor bug when the skb is cloned (tcpdump, TCP, etc.). As it is skb_pad will simply write over a cloned skb. Because of the position of the write it is unlikely to cause problems but still it's best if we don't do it. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S.

* [PATCH] macsonic/jazzsonic network drivers updateFinn Thain2005-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this patch: - Adopt the DMA API (jazzsonic, macsonic & core driver). - Adopt the driver model (macsonic). This part was cribbed from jazzsonic. As a consequence, macsonic once again works as a module. Driver model is also used by the DMA calls. - Support 16 bit cards (macsonic & core driver, also affects jazzsonic) This code was adapted from the mac68k linux 2.2 kernel, where it has languished for a long time. - Support more 32-bit mac cards (macsonic) Also from mac68k repo. - Zero-copy buffer handling (core driver) Provides a nice performance improvement. The new algorithm incidentally helped to replace the old Jazz DMA code. The patch was tested on a variety of macs (several 32-bit quadra built-in NICs, a 16-bit LC PDS NIC and a 16-bit comm-slot NIC), and also on MIPS Jazz.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
