net: Use netif_threaded_enable instead of netif_set_threaded in drivers

2025-07-25T01:34:55Z

Prepare for adding an enum type for NAPI threaded states by adding netif_threaded_enable API. De-export the existing netif_set_threaded API and only use it internally. Update existing drivers to use netif_threaded_enable instead of the de-exported netif_set_threaded. Note that dev_set_threaded used by mt76 debugfs file is unchanged.

Commit cc34acd577f1 ("docs: net: document new locking reality") introduced netif_ vs dev_ function semantics: the former expects locked netdev, the latter takes care of the locking. We don't strictly follow this semantics on either side, but there are more dev_xxx handlers now that don't fit. Rename them to netif_xxx where appropriate. Note that one dev_set_threaded call still remains in mt76 for debugfs file.

ethernet: atl1: Add missing DMA mapping error checks and count errors

2025-06-27T23:59:57Z

The `dma_map_XXX()` functions can fail and must be checked using `dma_mapping_error()`. This patch adds proper error handling for all DMA mapping calls. In `atl1_alloc_rx_buffers()`, if DMA mapping fails, the buffer is deallocated and marked accordingly. In `atl1_tx_map()`, previously mapped buffers are unmapped and the packet is dropped on failure. If `atl1_xmit_frame()` drops the packet, increment the tx_error counter. Fixes: f3cc28c79760 ("Add Attansic L1 ethernet driver.")

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

net: ag71xx: move assignment into main loop

2024-10-04T15:56:27Z

Effectively what's going on here is there's a main loop and an identical one below with a single assignment. Simpler to move it up. Signed-off-by: Rosen Penev Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240930181823.288892-6-rosenp@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski
