neterion: s2io: Use module_pci_driver

2015-07-09T07:19:00Z

Use module_pci_driver for drivers whose init and exit functions only register and unregister, respectively. A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch that performs this transformation is as follows: @a@ identifier f, x; @@ -static f(...) { return pci_register_driver(&x); } @b depends on a@ identifier e, a.x; statement S; @@ -static e(...) { -pci_unregister_driver(&x); -DBG_PRINT(INIT_DBG,"S"); - } @c depends on a && b@ identifier a.f; declarer name module_init; @@ -module_init(f); @d depends on a && b && c@ identifier b.e, a.x; declarer name module_exit; declarer name module_pci_driver; @@ -module_exit(e); +module_pci_driver(x); Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Signed-off-by: David S.

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

s2io: Update driver to use dma_wmb

2015-04-08T16:15:14Z

This change updates several spots where a wmb was being used to instead use a dma_wmb to flush out writes before updating the control portion of the descriptor. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

s2io: use snprintf() as a safety feature

2015-01-20T00:42:21Z

"sp->desc[i]" has 25 characters. "dev->name" has 15 characters. If we used all 15 characters then the sprintf() would overflow. I changed the "sprintf(sp->name, "%s Neterion %s"" to snprintf(), as well, even though it can't overflow just to be consistent. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
