net: fix tokenring license

2009-03-04T07:48:50+00:00

Currently, modular tokenring ("tr") lacks a license and fails to load:

tr: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
tr: Unknown symbol proc_net_fops_create

Beacuse of this, no tokenring driver can load if it depends on modular 
tr. Fix this by adding GPL module license as it is in the kernel.

With this fix, tr module loads fine and tms380 driver also loads. Well, 
it does'nt work but that's a different bug.

fddi: convert to new network device ops

Similar to ethernet. Convert infrastructure and the one lone FDDI
driver (for the one lone user of that hardware??). Compile tested only.

net: '&' redux

2008-11-04T02:21:05+00:00

I want to compile out proc_* and sysctl_* handlers totally and
stub them to NULL depending on config options, however usage of &
will prevent this, since taking adress of NULL pointer will break
compilation.

So, drop & in front of every ->proc_handler and every ->strategy
handler, it was never needed in fact.

net: convert print_mac to %pM

2008-10-28T00:06:18+00:00

This converts pretty much everything to print_mac. There were
a few things that had conflicts which I have just dropped for
now, no harm done.

I've built an allyesconfig with this and looked at the files
that weren't built very carefully, but it's a huge patch.

net: Rationalise email address: Network Specific Parts

2008-10-14T02:01:08+00:00

Clean up the various different email addresses of mine listed in the code
to a single current and valid address. As Dave says his network merges
for 2.6.28 are now done this seems a good point to send them in where
they won't risk disrupting real changes.

list_for_each_rcu must die: networking

2008-07-25T17:53:27+00:00

All uses of list_for_each_rcu() can be profitably replaced by the
easier-to-use list_for_each_entry_rcu().  This patch makes this change for
networking, in preparation for removing the list_for_each_rcu() API
entirely.
