[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}

2007-04-26T05:28:29+00:00

To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a
overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes.

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->end to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:29+00:00

Now to convert the last one, skb->data, that will allow many simplifications
and removal of some of the offset helpers.

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:28+00:00

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes
on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the
layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4
64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN...
:-)

Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network,
mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being
meaningful as offsets or pointers.

[ETH]: Make eth_type_trans set skb->dev like the other *_type_trans

2007-04-26T05:24:30+00:00

One less thing for drivers writers to worry about.

macb: Remove inappropriate spinlocks around mii calls

2007-02-17T20:30:48+00:00

Remove spin_lock_irqsave() around mii_ethtool_gset, mii_ethtool_sset
and generic_mii_ioctl. These are unnecessary and harmful because
the mii calls may call back into the mdio functions, which may sleep.

Pointed out by David Brownell.

AT91: MACB support

2007-02-07T23:50:53+00:00

The Atmel MACB Ethernet peripheral is also integrated in the AT91SAM9260
and AT91SAM9263 processors.  The differences from the AVR32 version are:
      * Single peripheral clock.
      * MII/RMII selection bit is inverted.
      * Clock enable bit.

Original patch from Patrice Vilchez.
