[METH]: Fix MAC address handling.

2008-01-09T07:30:00+00:00

meth didn't set a valid mac address during probing, but later during
open. Newer kernel refuse to open device with 00:00:00:00:00:00 as mac
address -> dead ethernet. This patch sets the mac address in the probe
function and uses only the mac address from the netdevice struct when
setting up the hardware.

cleanup asm/scatterlist.h includes

2007-11-02T07:47:06+00:00

Not architecture specific code should not #include .

This patch therefore either replaces them with
#include  or simply removes them if they were
unused.

[NET]: Introduce and use print_mac() and DECLARE_MAC_BUF()

This is nicer than the MAC_FMT stuff.

[NET] drivers/net: statistics cleanup #1 -- save memory and shrink code

2007-10-10T23:51:16+00:00

We now have struct net_device_stats embedded in struct net_device,
and the default ->get_stats() hook does the obvious thing for us.

Run through drivers/net/* and remove the driver-local storage of
statistics, and driver-local ->get_stats() hook where applicable.

This was just the low-hanging fruit in drivers/net; plenty more drivers
remain to be updated.

Don't use GFP_DMA for zone allocation.

2007-08-25T06:30:59+00:00

IP32 doesn't even have a ZONE_DMA so no point in using GFP_DMA in any
IP32-specific device driver.

meth driver renovation

2007-05-24T21:20:49+00:00

The meth ethernet driver for the SGI IP32 aka O2 is so far still an old
style driver which does not use the device driver model.  This is now
causing issues with some udev based gadgetry in debian-stable.  Fixed by
converting the meth driver to a platform device.

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_from_linear_data{_offset}

2007-04-26T05:28:23+00:00

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

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54+00:00

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).
