net: Do txq_trans_update() in netdev_start_xmit()

2014-09-02T00:39:55+00:00

That way we don't have to audit every call site to make sure it is
doing this properly.

net: set name_assign_type in alloc_netdev()

2014-07-15T23:12:48+00:00

Extend alloc_netdev{,_mq{,s}}() to take name_assign_type as argument, and convert
all users to pass NET_NAME_UNKNOWN.

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c
	drivers/net/ethernet/renesas/sh_eth.c
	net/ipv4/gre.c

The GRE conflict is between a bug fix (kfree_skb --> kfree_skb_list)
and the splitting of the gre.c code into seperate files.

The FEC conflict was two sets of changes adding ethtool support code
in an "!CONFIG_M5272" CPP protected block.

Finally the sh_eth.c conflict was between one commit add bits set
in the .eesr_err_check mask whilst another commit removed the
.tx_error_check member and assignments.

dlci: validate the net device in dlci_del()

We triggered an oops while running trinity with 3.4 kernel:

It's because the net device is not a dlci device.

net: pass info struct via netdevice notifier

2013-05-28T20:11:01+00:00

So far, only net_device * could be passed along with netdevice notifier
event. This patch provides a possibility to pass custom structure
able to provide info that event listener needs to know.
