staging: fix build failure in bcm driver

2011-01-18T01:39:39+00:00

While building latest Linus git, I hit the following:

    CC [M]  drivers/staging/bcm/Qos.o
  drivers/staging/bcm/Qos.c: In function ‘PruneQueue’:
  drivers/staging/bcm/Qos.c:367: error: ‘struct netdev_queue’ has no member named ‘tx_dropped’
  drivers/staging/bcm/Qos.c: In function ‘flush_all_queues’:
  drivers/staging/bcm/Qos.c:416: error: ‘struct netdev_queue’ has no member named ‘tx_dropped’
  make[5]: *** [drivers/staging/bcm/Qos.o] Error 1
  make[4]: *** [drivers/staging/bcm] Error 2
  make[3]: *** [drivers/staging] Error 2

As well as:

    CC [M]  drivers/staging/bcm/Transmit.o
  drivers/staging/bcm/Transmit.c: In function ‘SetupNextSend’:
  drivers/staging/bcm/Transmit.c:163: error: ‘struct netdev_queue’ has no member named ‘tx_bytes’
  drivers/staging/bcm/Transmit.c:164: error: ‘struct netdev_queue’ has no member named ‘tx_packets’
  make[2]: *** [drivers/staging/bcm/Transmit.o] Error 1

tx_dropped/tx_bytes_tx_packets were removed in commit 1ac9ad13.  This patch
converts bcm to use net_device_stats instead of netdev_queue.

beceem: dump control packet information

Add control packet information is useful for debugging.

beceem: eliminate unused bcm_jiffies

2010-11-01T17:57:35+00:00

Unused, unneeded, and bogus.

beceem: statistics and transmit queue changes

2010-11-01T17:53:30+00:00

Use standard network statistics variables and routines.
Transmit counters are per queue, and skb mapping is already in
skb and does not need to be recomputed. Move SearchVcId to only
place it is used.

beceem: transmit code cleanup

2010-11-01T16:20:09+00:00

Eliminate global variable in transmit path
The Leader can be on the stack, and get rid of unnecessary timeval.

beceem: support multiple queues

2010-11-01T13:54:39+00:00

Current kernels have multi-queue support which can be used by
this device. This has the advantage that a single type of traffic
will not block other types.

beceem: remove ARP spoofing

2010-11-01T13:53:58+00:00

Linux support NOARP flag, so the whole Arp spoofing routines
are not needed.

beceem: make transmit thread interruptible

2010-11-01T13:49:30+00:00

Kernel complains loudly if thread does long uninterruptible sleep.
Also, dont wake up every 10ms even if no data present (wastes power).

beceem: remove OS wrapper library

2010-11-01T13:35:21+00:00

Use native kernel functions for kmalloc/kfree directly

beceem: get rid of OS dependent data structure

2010-10-30T03:45:01+00:00

The only part of this structure still used was the network
device stats, and in recent kernel these are available in
network device itself.
