netxen: add fw version compatibility check

2011-07-22T04:32:54+00:00

o Minimum fw version supported for P3 chip is 4.0.505
o File Fw > 4.0.554 is not supported if flash fw < 4.0.554.
o In mn firmware case, file fw older than flash fw is allowed.
o Change variable names for readability

drivers/net: Remove casts of void *

2011-06-21T22:48:29+00:00

Unnecessary casts of void * clutter the code.

These are the remainder casts after several specific
patches to remove netdev_priv and dev_priv.

Done via coccinelle script (and a little editing):

$ cat cast_void_pointer.cocci
@@
type T;
T *pt;
void *pv;
@@

- pt = (T *)pv;
+ pt = pv;

netxen: fix race in skb->len access

2011-06-20T20:04:12+00:00

As soon as skb is given to hardware, TX completion can free skb under
us.
Therefore, we should update dev stats before kicking the device.

during lro configuration through ethtool.

ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API

2011-04-29T21:03:01+00:00

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.

Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work

ethtool: Use full 32 bit speed range in ethtool's set_settings

2011-04-29T21:03:00+00:00

This makes sure the ethtool's set_settings() callback of network
drivers don't ignore the 16 most significant bits when ethtool calls
their set_settings().

All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig on x86_64 have been
updated.
