networking: make skb_put & friends return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:39Z

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions (skb_put, __skb_put and pskb_put) return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_put, __skb_put }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) which actually doesn't cover pskb_put since there are only three users overall. A handful of stragglers were converted manually, notably a macro in drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_bsdcomp.c and, oddly enough, one of the many instances in net/bluetooth/hci_sock.c. In the former file, I also had to fix one whitespace problem spatch introduced. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers: net: generalize napi_complete_done()

2017-01-30T20:10:42Z

napi_complete_done() allows to opt-in for gro_flush_timeout, added back in linux-3.19, commit 3b47d30396ba ("net: gro: add a per device gro flush timer") This allows for more efficient GRO aggregation without sacrifying latencies. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: deprecate eth_change_mtu, remove usage

2016-10-13T13:36:57Z

With centralized MTU checking, there's nothing productive done by eth_change_mtu that isn't already done in dev_set_mtu, so mark it as deprecated and remove all usage of it in the kernel. All callers have been audited for calls to alloc_etherdev* or ether_setup directly, which means they all have a valid dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu. Now eth_change_mtu prints out a netdev_warn about being deprecated, for the benefit of out-of-tree drivers that might be utilizing it. Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using eth_change_mtu, meaning that if you ever tried changing it's mtu, you couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set to 4096 to remedy that. v2: fix up lantiq_etop, missed breakage due to drive not compiling on x86 CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ethernet: dnet: use phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings

2016-06-28T09:10:26Z

There are two generics functions phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings, so we can use them instead of defining the same code in the driver. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: dnet: use phydev from struct net_device

2016-06-28T09:10:26Z

The private structure contain a pointer to phydev, but the structure net_device already contain such pointer. So we can remove the pointer phydev in the private structure, and update the driver to use the one contained in struct net_device. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mdio: Move allocation of interrupts into core

2016-01-07T19:31:26Z

Have mdio_alloc() create the array of interrupt numbers, and initialize it to POLLING. This is what most MDIO drivers want, so allowing code to be removed from the drivers. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

phy: Centralise print about attached phy

2016-01-07T19:31:25Z

Many Ethernet drivers contain the same netdev_info() print statement about the attached phy. Move it into the phy device code. Additionally add a varargs function which can be used to append additional information. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: dnet: fix dnet_poll()

2015-01-12T02:44:55Z

A NAPI poll() handler is supposed to return exactly the budget when/if napi_complete() has not been called. It is also supposed to return number of frames that were received, so that netdev_budget can have a meaning. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
