linux-toradex.git/drivers/net/cnic_if.h, branch v2.6.32.22 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules cnic: Fix NETDEV_UP event processing. 2009-10-02T18:03:28+00:00 Michael Chan mchan@broadcom.com 2009-10-02T18:03:28+00:00 6053bbf7bbdbb2c94547f830ad07636c17d7024e This fixes the problem of not handling the NETDEV_UP event properly during hot-plug or modprobe of bnx2 after cnic. The handling was skipped by mistakenly using "else if" to check for the event. Also update version to 2.0.1.

cnic: Fix locking in init/exit calls. 2009-08-16T01:50:47+00:00 Michael Chan mchan@broadcom.com 2009-08-14T15:49:47+00:00 7fc1ece40704b150477e548a7a98d285cc418790 The slow path ulp_init and ulp_exit calls to the bnx2i driver are sleepable calls and therefore should not be protected using rcu_read_lock. Fix it by using mutex and refcount during these calls. cnic_unregister_driver() will now wait for the refcount to go to zero before completing the call.

[SCSI] cnic: Add new Broadcom CNIC driver. 2009-06-09T15:22:42+00:00 Michael Chan mchan@broadcom.com 2009-06-09T01:14:43+00:00 a463696039f7097ce87c21db3cf5c16cdcb3850d The CNIC driver controls BNX2 hardware rings and resources used by iSCSI. Most hardware resources for iSCSI are separate from those used for ethernet networking. iSCSI uses a separate MAC address and IP address. The CNIC driver creates a UIO interface to handle the non-offloaded packets such as ARP, etc in userspace. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> Acked-by: David S.
