net: don't clear IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE in ether_setup

2011-09-15T18:49:44+00:00

d88733150 introduced the IFF_SKB_TX_SHARING flag, which I unilaterally set in
ether_setup.  In doing this I didn't realize that other flags (such as
IFF_XMIT_DST_RELEASE) might be set prior to calling the ether_setup routine.
This patch changes ether_setup to or in SKB_TX_SHARING so as not to
inadvertently clear other existing flags.  Thanks to Pekka Riikonen for pointing
out my error

net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flags

2011-07-28T05:39:30+00:00

Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by
some drivers as they keep state information in skbs.  This patch adds a flag
marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path.  Drivers
are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this
flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can
handle shared skbs.  A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the
flag is set properly

net: Add alloc_netdev_mqs function

2011-01-11T00:05:30+00:00

Added alloc_netdev_mqs function which allows the number of transmit and
receive queues to be specified independenty.  alloc_netdev_mq was
changed to a macro to call the new function.  Also added
alloc_etherdev_mqs with same purpose.

net: use scnprintf() to avoid potential buffer overflow

2010-08-26T21:11:49+00:00

strlcpy() returns the total length of the string they tried to create, so
we should not use its return value without any check. scnprintf() returns
the number of characters written into @buf not including the trailing '\0',
so use it instead here.

net-next: remove useless union keyword

2010-06-11T06:31:35+00:00

remove useless union keyword in rtable, rt6_info and dn_route.

Since there is only one member in a union, the union keyword isn't useful.
