hostap: pad the skb->cb usage in lieu of a proper fix

2008-11-12T21:54:22+00:00

Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass
information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device
to the physical wireless device.  Unfortunately, that trick no longer
works...

Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack
the best option we have in the short run.  Hopefully someone will
eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected
hardware dies.

(Above text by me.  Johannes officially disavows all knowledge of this
hack. -- JWL)

pcmcia: remove unused argument to pcmcia_parse_tuple()

2008-08-31T13:50:33+00:00

Since we're just parsing the tuple being passed to this function, we don't
need any device-specific information.

Also, remove the call to pcmcia_validate_cis() from pcmciamtd.c, since it
is already called by the PCMCIA core.

pcmcia: deprecate CS_SUCCESS

2008-08-23T00:29:26+00:00

Instead of using own error or success codes, the PCMCIA code should rely on
the generic return values. Therefore, replace all occurrences of CS_SUCCESS
with 0.

pcmcia: pcmcia_config_loop() improvement by passing vcc

2008-08-22T23:22:52+00:00

By passing the current Vcc setting to the pcmcia_config_loop callback
function, we can remove pcmcia_get_configuration_info() calls from many
drivers.

pcmcia: pcmcia_config_loop() default CIS entry handling

2008-08-22T23:22:00+00:00

Many drivers use the default CIS entry within their pcmcia_config_loop()
callback function. Therefore, factor the default CIS entry handling out.

pcmcia: pcmcia_config_loop() ConfigIndex unification

2008-08-22T23:21:29+00:00

Almost all drivers set p_dev->conf.ConfigIndex to cfg->index in
the pcmcia_config_loop() callback function. Therefore, factor it out.

pcmcia: use pcmcia_loop_config in net pcmcia drivers

2008-08-22T23:21:28+00:00

Use the config loop helper in (some) net pcmcia drivers.

netdev: Handle ->addr_list_lock just like ->_xmit_lock for lockdep.

2008-07-22T21:16:42+00:00

The new address list lock needs to handle the same device layering
issues that the _xmit_lock one does.

This integrates work done by Patrick McHardy.

netdev: Allocate multiple queues for TX.

2008-07-18T02:21:00+00:00

alloc_netdev_mq() now allocates an array of netdev_queue
structures for TX, based upon the queue_count argument.

Furthermore, all accesses to the TX queues are now vectored
through the netdev_get_tx_queue() and netdev_for_each_tx_queue()
interfaces.  This makes it easy to grep the tree for all
things that want to get to a TX queue of a net device.

Problem spots which are not really multiqueue aware yet, and
only work with one queue, can easily be spotted by grepping
for all netdev_get_tx_queue() calls that pass in a zero index.

netdev: Move _xmit_lock and xmit_lock_owner into netdev_queue.

2008-07-09T06:13:53+00:00

Accesses are mostly structured such that when there are multiple TX
queues the code transformations will be a little bit simpler.
