net: qca_spi: fix transmit queue timeout handling

2016-01-23T04:55:45Z

[ Upstream commit ed7d42e24effbd3681e909711a7a2119a85e9217 ] In case of a tx queue timeout every transmit is blocked until the QCA7000 resets himself and triggers a sync which makes the driver flushs the tx ring. So avoid this blocking situation by triggering the sync immediately after the timeout. Waking the queue doesn't make sense in this situation.

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

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net

2015-05-13T18:31:43Z

Four minor merge conflicts: 1) qca_spi.c renamed the local variable used for the SPI device from spi_device to spi, meanwhile the spi_set_drvdata() call got moved further up in the probe function. 2) Two changes were both adding new members to codel params structure, and thus we had overlapping changes to the initializer function. 3) 'net' was making a fix to sk_release_kernel() which is completely removed in 'net-next'. 4) In net_namespace.c, the rtnl_net_fill() call for GET operations had the command value fixed, meanwhile 'net-next' adjusted the argument signature a bit. This also matches example merge resolutions posted by Stephen Rothwell over the past two days. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: qca_spi: Fix possible race during probe

2015-05-11T15:01:20Z

Registering the netdev before setting the priv data is unsafe. So fix this possible race by setting the priv data first. Signed-off-by: Stefan Wahren Cc: # v3.18+ Fixes: 291ab06e (net: qualcomm: new Ethernet over SPI driver for QCA7000) Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet: qualcomm: use spi instead of spi_device

2015-05-10T21:52:54Z

All spi based drivers have an instance of struct spi_device as spi. This patch renames spi_device to spi to synchronize with all the drivers. Signed-off-by: Varka Bhadram Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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.
