net: convert multiple drivers to use netdev_for_each_mc_addr, part5 V2

2010-02-26T10:07:30+00:00

removed some needless checks and also corrected bug in lp486e (dmi was passed
instead of dmi->dmi_addr)

macb: straighten out macb_mii_probe function

2010-02-12T19:38:58+00:00

Use "phy_find_first" instead of manual lookup. Also use "phy_connect_direct"
instead of "phy_connect" since we already have phy_device pointer here.

net: use netdev_mc_count and netdev_mc_empty when appropriate

2010-02-12T19:38:58+00:00

This patch replaces dev->mc_count in all drivers (hopefully I didn't miss
anything). Used spatch and did small tweaks and conding style changes when
it was suitable.

netdev: drivers should make ethtool_ops const

2009-09-02T08:03:33+00:00

No need to put ethtool_ops in data, they should be const.

drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()

2009-08-24T02:51:03+00:00

The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API
callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel
instability.

The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from
getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

A functions set:
local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable()
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()
spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq()

B functions set:
local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore()
spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()
spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore()

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: use symbolic values for ndo_start_xmit() return codes

2009-06-13T08:18:50+00:00

Convert magic values 1 and -1 to NETDEV_TX_BUSY and NETDEV_TX_LOCKED respectively.

0 (NETDEV_TX_OK) is not changed to keep the noise down, except in very few cases
where its in direct proximity to one of the other values.

macb: Add support of the netpoll API

2009-05-04T18:08:41+00:00

With this patch in place, I'm successfully able to use the netconsole
mechanism with the Calao USB-A9263 board, which uses the AT91SAM9263
CPU, which in terms of Ethernet controller is supported by the macb
driver.
