* [PATCH] via-rhine: add option avoid_D3 (work around broken BIOSes)Roger Luethi2006-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It looks like broken BIOSes controlling Rhine chips will remain in use in significant numbers; such systems fail to come up via PXE after they have been put into D3 (power-saving) mode. This patch adds a module option for disabling the call that puts the chip to sleep.

* [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template driversJeff Garzik2006-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was maintained in the driver source code. These days, the kernel's changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver changelogs are removed. Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using "foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like "1.17b-LK1.1.9". These drivers are for older hardware, and see few changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something more simple. Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

* [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] via-rhine: zero pad short packets on Rhine I ethernet cardsCraig Brind2006-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes Rhine I cards disclosing fragments of previously transmitted frames in new transmissions. Before transmission, any socket buffer (skb) shorter than the ethernet minimum length of 60 bytes was zero-padded. On Rhine I cards the data can later be copied into an aligned transmission buffer without copying this padding. This resulted in the transmission of the frame with the extra bytes beyond the provided content leaking the previous contents of this buffer on to the network. Now zero-padding is repeated in the local aligned buffer if one is used. Following a suggestion from the via-rhine maintainer, no attempt is made here to avoid the duplicated effort of padding the skb if it is known that an aligned buffer will definitely be used. This is to make the change "obviously correct" and allow it to be applied to a stable kernel if necessary. There is no change to the flow of control and the changes are only to the Rhine I code path. The patch has run on an in-service Rhine-I host without incident. Frames shorter than 60 bytes are now correctly zero-padded when captured on a separate host. I see no unusual stats reported by ifconfig, and no unusual log messages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Problems with link state detection have been reported several times in the past months. Denis Vlasenko did all the work tracking it down. Jeff Garzik suggested the proper place for the fix. When using the mii library, the driver needs to check mii->force_media and set dev->state accordingly.

* [PATCH] via-rhine: change mdelay to msleep and remove from ISR pathJohn W. Linville2005-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the mdelay call in rhine_disable_linkmon. The function is called from the via-rhine versions of mdio_read and mdio_write. Those functions are indirectly called from rhine_check_media and rhine_tx_timeout, both of which can be called in interrupt context. So, create tx_timeout_task and check_media_task as instances of struct work_struct inside of rhine_private. Then, change rhine_tx_timeout to invoke schedule_work for tx_timeout_task (i.e. rhine_tx_timeout_task), moving the work to process context. Also, change rhine_error (invoked from rhine_interrupt) to invoke schedule_work for check_media_task (i.e. rhine_check_media_task), which simply calls rhine_check media in process context. Finally, add a call to flush_scheduled_work in rhine_close to avoid any resource conflicts with pending work items. Signed-off-by: John W.

| * [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.

* 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!
