drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: i825xx: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:08Z

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang

i825xx: Call dev_kfree_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb.

2014-03-25T04:19:02Z

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in i596_start_xmit that can be called in hard irq and other contexts, when the skb is dropped. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman"

drivers/net: delete non-required instances of include

2014-01-16T19:53:26Z

None of these files are actually using any __init type directives and hence don't need to include . Most are just a left over from __devinit and __cpuinit removal, or simply due to code getting copied from one driver to the next. This covers everything under drivers/net except for wireless, which has been submitted separately. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net:drivers/net: replace IS_ERR and PTR_ERR with PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO

2013-11-07T08:01:59Z

This patch fixes coccinelle error regarding usage of IS_ERR and PTR_ERR instead of PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO. Signed-off-by: Duan Jiong Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net:drivers/net: Miscellaneous conversions to ETH_ALEN

2013-10-02T21:04:45Z

Convert the memset/memcpy uses of 6 to ETH_ALEN where appropriate. Also convert some struct definitions and u8 array declarations of [6] to ETH_ALEN. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Arend van Spriel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet: Convert mac address uses of 6 to ETH_ALEN

2013-08-02T19:33:54Z

Use the normal #define to help grep find mac addresses and ensure that addresses are aligned. pasemi.h has an unaligned access to mac_addr, unchanged for now. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Olof Johansson # pasemi_mac pieces Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers:net: Remove unnecessary OOM messages after netdev_alloc_skb

2013-03-09T21:09:19Z

Emitting netdev_alloc_skb and netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align OOM messages is unnecessary as there is already a dump_stack after allocation failures. Other trivial changes around these removals: Convert a few comparisons of pointer to 0 to !pointer. Change flow to remove unnecessary label. Remove now unused variable. Hoist assignment from if.

drivers/net: delete Racal Interlan ISA ni52 (i825xx) driver

2013-01-22T15:39:52Z

Like the other drivers that were in the ISA i825xx family, the ni52 was rather rare, not widely used, and hence perhaps not as reliable as the more mainstream ISA drivers that were heavily used. Given that, it is chosen for retirement at this time as well. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker
