net: moxa: Fix module autoload for OF platform driver

2015-09-21T23:09:02Z

This platform driver has a OF device ID table but the OF module alias information is not created so module autoloading won't work. Signed-off-by: Luis de Bethencourt Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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: batch of last_rx update avoidance in ethernet drivers.

2015-05-14T21:38:17Z

None of those drivers uses last_rx for its own needs. See 4dc89133f49b8cfd77ba7e83f5960aed63aaa99e ("net: add a comment on netdev->last_rx") for reference.

ethernet: codespell comment spelling fixes

2015-03-09T02:54:22Z

To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against drivers/net/ethernet/. $ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \ while read file ; do \ codespell -w $file; \ done I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: moxa: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:21:10Z

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

net: ethernet: Remove superfluous ether_setup after alloc_etherdev

2014-10-03T22:31:40Z

There is no need to call ether_setup after alloc_ethdev since it was already called there. Follow commits c706471b2601 ("net: axienet: remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and 3c87dcbfb36c ("net: ll_temac: Remove unnecessary ether_setup after alloc_etherdev") and fix the pattern in all remaining ethernet drivers.

net: moxa: continue loop on skb allocation failure

2014-08-26T00:25:39Z

If netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() fails, subsequent code will try to dereference an invalid pointer. Continue to next descriptor on error. While we're at it, 1. eliminate the chance of an endless loop, replace the main loop with while(rx < budget) 2. use napi_complete() and remove the explicit napi_gro_flush() Signed-off-by: Jonas Jensen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: moxa: synchronize DMA memory

2014-08-26T00:25:39Z

DMA memory should be synchronized before data is passed to/from controller. Add dma_sync_single_for_cpu(.., DMA_FROM_DEVICE) to RX path and dma_sync_single_for_device(.., DMA_TO_DEVICE) to TX path. Signed-off-by: Jonas Jensen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: moxa: replace build_skb() with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() / memcpy()

2014-08-26T00:25:39Z

build_skb() is used to make skbs out of existing RX ring memory which is bad because the RX ring is allocated only once, on probe. Memory corruption occur because said memory is reclaimed, i.e. __kfree_skb() (and eventually put_page()). Replace build_skb() with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() and use memcpy(). Remove SKB_DATA_ALIGN() from RX buffer size while we're at it. Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69041 Signed-off-by: Jonas Jensen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: moxa: clear DESC1 on ndo_start_xmit()

2014-08-26T00:25:38Z

TX buffer length is not cleared on ndo_start_xmit(). Failing to do so can bug/hang the controller and cause TX interrupts to stop altogether. Remove the readl() and compute a new value for DESC1.
