dummy: Add ndo_uninit().

2012-04-17T03:56:36+00:00

In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later
some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called.
So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method
to free percpu stats for this case.
And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when
device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from
being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().

net: use eth_hw_addr_random() and reset addr_assign_type

2012-02-15T20:34:17+00:00

Use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr()
to set addr_assign_type correctly to NET_ADDR_RANDOM.

Reset the state to NET_ADDR_PERM as soon as the MAC get
changed via .ndo_set_mac_address.

v2: adapt to renamed eth_hw_addr_random()

net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit

2011-11-16T22:43:12+00:00

Only distinct use is checking if NETIF_F_NOCACHE_COPY should be
enabled by default. The check heuristics is altered a bit here,
so it hits other people than before. The default shouldn't be
trusted for performance-critical cases anyway.

For all other uses NETIF_F_NO_CSUM is equivalent to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice

2011-05-05T17:57:45+00:00

Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by
dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit
dev_alloc_name() calls.

The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains.

This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by

dummy: percpu stats and lockless xmit

2010-09-29T20:23:30+00:00

Converts dummy network device driver to :

- percpu stats

- 64bit stats

- lockless xmit (NETIF_F_LLTX)

- performance features added (NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST |
NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA)

net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functions

2009-07-06T02:16:04+00:00

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert
all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK.

Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be
handled in a seperate patch.

[NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.

2007-10-10T23:51:13+00:00

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to
remove it.  The number of people that could object because they're
maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.
