      [netdrvr] Remove Becker-template 'io_size' member, when invariant · c3d8e682
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Becker-derived drivers often have the 'io_size' member in their chip
      info struct, indicating the minimum required size of the I/O resource
      (usually a PCI BAR).  For many situations, this number is either
      constant or irrelevant (due to pci_iomap convenience behavior).
      
      This change removes the io_size invariant member, and replaces it with a
      compile-time constant.
      
      Drivers updated: fealnx, gt96100eth, winbond-840, yellowfin
      
      Additionally,
      - gt96100eth: unused 'drv_flags' removed from gt96100eth
      - winbond-840: unused struct match_info removed
      - winbond-840: mark pci_id_tbl[] const, __devinitdata

      [netdrvr] Remove Linux-specific changelogs from several Becker template drivers · 03a8c661
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      When in-kernel net drivers branched from Donald Becker's vanilla driver
      set, in the days before BitKeeper and git, a driver changelog was
      maintained in the driver source code.  These days, the kernel's
      changelog is far superior and much more accurate, so the in-driver
      changelogs are removed.
      
      Another relic of the Becker/kernel split was version numbering, using
      "foo-LKx.y.z" notation, resulting in weird version numbers like
      "1.17b-LK1.1.9".  These drivers are for older hardware, and see few
      changes these days, so the version numbers were all bumped to something
      more simple.
      
      Finally, in xircom_tulip_cb specifically, an additional cleanup removes
      the always-enabled CARDBUS cpp macro.

      [netdrvr] Remove long-unused bits from Becker template drivers · 1f1bd5fc
      Jeff Garzik 提交于
      Symbols such as PCI_USES_IO, PCI_ADDR0, etc. originated from Donald
      Becker's net driver template, but have been long unused.  Remove.
      
      In a few drivers, this allows the further eliminate of the pci_flags (or
      just plain flags) member in the template driver probe structure.
      
      Most of this logic is simply open-coded in most drivers, since it never
      changes.
      
      Made a few other cleanups while I was in there, too:
      * constify, __devinitdata several PCI ID tables
      * replace table terminating entries such as "{0,}," and "{NULL},"
        with a more-clean "{ }".

      [NET]: Add netif_tx_lock · 932ff279
      Herbert Xu 提交于
      Various drivers use xmit_lock internally to synchronise with their
      transmission routines.  They do so without setting xmit_lock_owner.
      This is fine as long as netpoll is not in use.
      
      With netpoll it is possible for deadlocks to occur if xmit_lock_owner
      isn't set.  This is because if a printk occurs while xmit_lock is held
      and xmit_lock_owner is not set can cause netpoll to attempt to take
      xmit_lock recursively.
      
      While it is possible to resolve this by getting netpoll to use
      trylock, it is suboptimal because netpoll's sole objective is to
      maximise the chance of getting the printk out on the wire.  So
      delaying or dropping the message is to be avoided as much as possible.
      
      So the only alternative is to always set xmit_lock_owner.  The
      following patch does this by introducing the netif_tx_lock family of
      functions that take care of setting/unsetting xmit_lock_owner.
      
      I renamed xmit_lock to _xmit_lock to indicate that it should not be
      used directly.  I didn't provide irq versions of the netif_tx_lock
      functions since xmit_lock is meant to be a BH-disabling lock.
      
      This is pretty much a straight text substitution except for a small
      bug fix in winbond.  It currently uses
      netif_stop_queue/spin_unlock_wait to stop transmission.  This is
      unsafe as an IRQ can potentially wake up the queue.  So it is safer to
      use netif_tx_disable.
      
      The hamradio bits used spin_lock_irq but it is unnecessary as
      xmit_lock must never be taken in an IRQ handler.

      [netdrvr] add 'uli526x' driver (a tulip clone) · 4689ced9
      Peer Chen 提交于
      We want to extract our LAN card driver from tulip core driver and
      make a new file uli526x.c at tulip folder, because we have added
      some ethtool interface support and non-eprom support in our driver
      and may be other change in the futher.
      
      If our controllers support are still contained in the tulip core
      driver, I think it'll increase the complexity of maintenance, you
      know, tulip core driver include several files and support so many
      other controllers.  Furthermore, I tested the newest kernel 2.6.12
      and I found the tulip driver can not work on our lan controller, and
      I no time to debug it, so I aspired want to make a single uli526x.c
      file just for our controllers.  Could you help us remove the ULi
      m5261/m5263 lan controller support from tulip core driver and add
      the new single uli526x.c file for us?

      [NET]: Remove gratuitous use of skb->tail in network drivers. · 689be439
      David S. Miller 提交于
      Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.
      
      In these situations, the code roughly looks like:
      
      	dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);
      
      	[optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);
      
      	... skb->tail ...
      
      But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
      skb->tail.  So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
      other than skb->data in these cases.
      
      Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
      the skb->data and skb->tail pointers.  It really just wanted
      to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
      to do instead.
      
      Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
      cleanups I have planned simpler to merge.  In those cleanups,
      skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
      replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.
