amd: Move AMD (Lance) chipset drivers

2011-08-11T02:54:11+00:00

Moves the drivers for the AMD chipsets into drivers/net/ethernet/amd/
and the necessary Kconfig and Makfile changes.

The au1000 (Alchemy) driver was also moved into the same directory
even though it is not a "Lance" driver.

drivers/net: Omit check for multicast bit in netdev_for_each_mc_addr

2011-07-08T16:03:20+00:00

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.

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;

drivers/net: Remove address use from assignments of function pointers

2010-08-25T22:35:43+00:00

"foo = &function" is more commonly written "foo = function"

Done with coccinelle script:

// 
@r@
identifier f;
@@

f(...) { ... }

@@
identifier r.f;
@@

- &f
+ f
// 

drivers/net/tehuti.c used a function and struct with the
same name, the function was renamed.

Compile tested x86 only.

NET: declance: Fix section mismatches

2010-07-26T18:08:14+00:00

WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.data+0x24): Section mismatch in reference from
the variable dec_lance_tc_driver to the function .init.text:dec_lance_tc_probe()
The variable dec_lance_tc_driver references
the function __init dec_lance_tc_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

Fixing this one results in a new mismatch:

WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.devinit.text+0x14): Section mismatch in reference from the function dec_lance_tc_probe() to the function .init.text:dec_lance_probe()
The function __devinit dec_lance_tc_probe() references
a function __init dec_lance_probe().
If dec_lance_probe is only used by dec_lance_tc_probe then
annotate dec_lance_probe with a matching annotation.

drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-14T07:19:28+00:00

This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

with some cleanups by hand.

Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

net: trans_start cleanups

2010-05-10T12:01:31+00:00

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
(on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.

Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

net: convert multicast list to list_head

2010-04-03T21:22:15+00:00

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list.

+uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global"
 variant) instead of a function parameter.
+removes dev_mcast.c completely.
+exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for
 manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers)

net: use netdev_mc_count and netdev_mc_empty when appropriate

2010-02-12T19:38:58+00:00

This patch replaces dev->mc_count in all drivers (hopefully I didn't miss
anything). Used spatch and did small tweaks and conding style changes when
it was suitable.
