vxge: make functions local and remove dead code

2010-10-24T22:07:12+00:00

Use results of make namespacecheck to make functions local and
remove code that is not used.

Also rename initialize_ethtool_ops to vxge_initialize_ethtool_ops.

Compile tested only.

vlan: Don't check for vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present.

2010-10-21T08:26:52+00:00

Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb.  There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances.  However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.

vlan: Rename VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN to VLAN_N_VID.

2010-10-21T08:26:50+00:00

VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
actual purpose.

drivers/net: avoid some skb->ip_summed initializations

2010-09-03T02:06:22+00:00

fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0)

We can avoid setting again skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers.

Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this
assertion documented in driver sources.

Change most occurrences of :

skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE;

by :

skb_checksum_none_assert(skb);

vxge: Implement 64bit stats

2010-08-19T07:16:51+00:00

vxge_get_stats() is racy, since it clears a block of memory (net_stats)
possibly still used by other cpus.

We can update this driver to full 64bit stats, since ndo_get_stats64()
provides a private block to store results, and driver maintains 64bit
counters already.

We also remove net_stats field from struct vxge_sw_stats

drivers/net: Convert unbounded kzalloc calls to kcalloc

2010-08-18T00:45:14+00:00

These changes may be slightly safer in some instances.

There are other kzalloc calls with a multiply, but those
calls are typically "small fixed #" * sizeof(some pointer)"
and those are not converted.

vxge: NETIF_F_LLTX removal

2010-07-16T03:46:22+00:00

NETIF_F_LLTX and it's usage of local transmit locks are depricated in
favor of using the netdev queue's transmit lock.  Remove the local
lock and all references to it, and use the netdev queue transmit lock
in the transmit completion handler.
