netpoll: fix incorrect access to skb data in __netpoll_rx

2011-08-26T16:49:04+00:00

__netpoll_rx() doesnt properly handle skbs with small header

pskb_may_pull() or pskb_trim_rcsum() can change skb->data, we must
reload it.

netpoll: Remove unused EXPORT_SYMBOLs of netpoll_poll and netpoll_poll_dev

2011-07-04T03:02:07+00:00

Unused symbols waste space.

Commit 0e34e93177fb
"(netpoll: add generic support for bridge and bonding devices)"
added the symbol more than a year ago with the promise of "future use".

Because it is so far unused, remove it for now.
It can be easily readded if or when it actually needs to be used.

netpoll: prevent netpoll setup on slave devices

2011-06-09T07:28:13+00:00

In commit 8d8fc29d02a33e4bd5f4fa47823c1fd386346093
(netpoll: disable netpoll when enslave a device), we automatically
disable netpoll when the underlying device is being enslaved,
we also need to prevent people from setuping netpoll on
devices that are already enslaved.

net: add mac_pton() for parsing MAC address

2011-05-09T19:10:49+00:00

mac_pton() parses MAC address in form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX and only in that form.

mac_pton() doesn't dirty result until it's sure string representation is valid.

mac_pton() doesn't care about characters _after_ last octet,
it's up to caller to deal with it.

mac_pton() diverges from 0/-E return value convention.
Target usage:

	if (!mac_pton(str, whatever->mac))
		return -EINVAL;
	/* ->mac being u8 [ETH_ALEN] is filled at this point. */
	/* optionally check str[3 * ETH_ALEN - 1] for termination */

Use mac_pton() in pktgen and netconsole for start.

we need to move the arp queue to their bond device.
