[NET]: Restore sanity wrt. print_mac().

2008-02-24T04:09:11+00:00

MAC_FMT had only one user and we tried to get rid of
that, but this created more problems than it solved.

As a result, this reverts three commits:

235365f3aaaa10b7056293877c0ead50425f25c7 ("net/8021q/vlan_dev.c: Use
print_mac."), fea5fa875eb235dc186b1f5184eb36abc63e26cc ("[NET]: Remove
MAC_FMT"), and 8f789c48448aed74fe1c07af76de8f04adacec7d ("[NET]:
Elminate spurious print_mac() calls.")

[NET]: Elminate spurious print_mac() calls.

2008-02-19T00:50:22+00:00

Patrick McHardy notes that print_mac() can get invoked
even if the result it unused (f.e. as an argument to
pr_debug() when DEBUG is not defined).

Mark this function as "__pure" to eliminate this problem.

[NET]: Remove MAC_FMT

[ETHER]: Bring back MAC_FMT

2008-01-28T23:08:27+00:00

The print_mac function is not very suitable for debugging printks
in performance critical paths since without ifdefs it will always
get called. MAC_FMT can be used with pr_debug without any overhead
when debugging is disabled.

[ETH]: Combine format_addr() with print_mac().

2008-01-28T23:00:05+00:00

print_mac() used many most net drivers and format_addr() used by
net-sysfs.c are very similar and they can be intergrated.

format_addr() is also identically redefined in the qla4xxx iscsi
driver.

Export a new function sysfs_format_mac() to be used by net-sysfs,
qla4xxx and others in the future.  Both print_mac() and
sysfs_format_mac() call _format_mac_addr() to do the formatting.

Changed print_mac() to use unsigned char * to be consistent with
net_device struct's dev_addr.  Added buffer length overrun checking
as suggested by Joe Perches.

[CAN]: Allocate protocol numbers for PF_CAN

2008-01-28T22:54:09+00:00

This patch adds a protocol/address family number, ARP hardware type,
ethernet packet type, and a line discipline number for the SocketCAN
implementation.

[NET]: Move hardware header operations out of netdevice.

2007-10-10T23:52:52+00:00

Since hardware header operations are part of the protocol class
not the device instance, make them into a separate object and
save memory.

Add constant for FCS/CRC length (frame check sequence)

2007-05-21T23:41:19+00:00

About a dozen drivers that have some form of crc checksumming or offloading
use this constant, warranting a global define for it.

[BRIDGE]: drop PAUSE frames

2007-04-26T05:30:01+00:00

Pause frames should never make it out of the network device into
the stack. But if a device was misconfigured, it might happen.
So drop pause frames in bridge.
