2011-07-08drivers/net: Omit check for multicast bit in netdev_for_each_mc_addrTobias Klauser
There is no need to check for the address being a multicast address in the netdev_for_each_mc_addr loop, so remove it. This patch covers all remaining network drivers still containing such a check.

2011-04-29ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed APIDavid Decotigny
This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-11-29NET: smc91x: Fix irq flagsRussell King - ARM Linux
smc91x.h defines SMC_IRQ_FLAGS to be -1 when it wants the interrupt flags to be taken from the resource structure. However, d280ead changed this to checking for non-zero resource flags. Unfortunately, this means that on some platforms, we end up passing '-1' to request_irq rather than the desired result. Combine the two conditions into one so that the IRQ flags are taken from the resource if either SMC_IRQ_FLAGS is -1 or the resource flags specify an interrupt trigger.

2008-07-12[NET] smc91x: remove "irq_flags" from "struct smc91x_platdata"Eric Miao
IRQ trigger type can be specified in the IRQ resource definition by IORESOURCE_IRQ_*, we need only one way to specify this. This also fixes the following small issue: To allow dynamic support for multiple platforms, when those relevant macros are not defined for one specific platform, the default case will be: - SMC_DYNAMIC_BUS_CONFIG defined - and SMC_IRQ_FLAGS = IRQF_TRIGGER_RISING While if "irq_flags" is missing when defining the smc91x_platdata, usually as follows: static struct smc91x_platdata xxxx_smc91x_data = { .flags = SMC91X_USE_XXBIT, }; The lp->cfg.irq_flags will always be overriden by the above structure (due to a memcpy), thus rendering lp->cfg.irq_flags to be "0" always. (regardless of the default SMC_IRQ_FLAGS or IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags) Fixes this by forcing to use IORESOURCE_IRQ_* flags if present, and make the only user of smc91x_platdata.irq_flags (renesas/migor) to use IORESOURCE_IRQ_*.

2008-06-12net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.David S. Miller
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could deadlock. One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries to grab the RTNL semaphore. The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods. The simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses. This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so forth. And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the chip off and reset it anways. So if we cancel a pending work event, that's fine here. Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep() polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.
