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: pasemi: Use setup_timer and mod_timer

2015-03-01T18:40:23Z

Use timer API functions setup_timer and mod_timer instead of structure assignments as they are standard way to set the timer and to update the expire field of an active timer respectively. This is done using Coccinelle and semantic patch used for this is as follows: // @@ expression x,y,z,a,b; @@ -init_timer (&x); +setup_timer (&x, y, z); +mod_timer (&a, b); -x.function = y; -x.data = z; -x.expires = b; -add_timer(&a); // Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar Signed-off-by: David S.

net-PA Semi: Deletion of unnecessary checks before the function call "pci_dev_put"

2014-12-06T05:14:20Z

The pci_dev_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

PCI: Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use

2014-08-12T18:15:14Z

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to meet kernel coding style guidelines. This issue was reported by checkpatch. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @@ identifier i; declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE; initializer z; @@ - DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i) + const struct pci_device_id i[] = z; // [bhelgaas: add semantic patch] Signed-off-by: Benoit Taine Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

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

ethernet: Fix FSF address in file headers

2013-12-06T17:37:55Z

Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

net: pasemi: remove unnecessary pci_set_drvdata()

2013-10-22T06:11:51Z

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or on probe failure. Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Acked-by: Olof Johansson Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: pasemi: remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED

2013-09-16T02:01:06Z

This patch proposes to remove the IRQF_DISABLED flag from drivers/net/ethernet/pasemi/pasemi_mac.c It's a NOOP since 2.6.35 and it will be removed one day. Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers:net: Convert dma_alloc_coherent(...__GFP_ZERO) to dma_zalloc_coherent

2013-08-30T01:55:23Z

__GFP_ZERO is an uncommon flag and perhaps is better not used. static inline dma_zalloc_coherent exists so convert the uses of dma_alloc_coherent with __GFP_ZERO to the more common kernel style with zalloc. Remove memset from the static inline dma_zalloc_coherent and add just one use of __GFP_ZERO instead. Trivially reduces the size of the existing uses of dma_zalloc_coherent. Realign arguments as appropriate. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Neil Horman Acked-by: Jesse Brandeburg Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher 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
