sunvnet: Invoke SET_NETDEV_DEV() to set up the vdev in vnet_new()

2015-09-21T23:28:36Z

`ls /sys/devices/channel-devices/vnet-port-0-0/net' is missing without this change, and applications like NetworkManager are looking in sysfs for the information. Signed-off-by: Sowmini Varadhan 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

sungem, sunhme, sunvnet: Update drivers to use dma_wmb/rmb

2015-04-08T16:15:14Z

This patch goes through and replaces wmb/rmb with dma_wmb/dma_rmb in cases where the barrier is being used to order writes or reads to just memory and doesn't involve any programmed I/O. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

niu: fix error handling in niu_class_to_ethflow()

2015-02-28T17:58:25Z

There is a discrepancy here because the niu_class_to_ethflow() returns zero on failure and one on success but the caller expected zero on success and negative on failure. The problem means that we allow the user to pass classes and flow_types which we don't want. I've looked at it a bit and I don't see it as a very serious bug.

sunvnet: failed trigger should not cause BUG_ON()

2015-02-20T22:44:24Z

An error return from __vnet_tx_trigger() sets the TX descriptor to VIO_DESC_FREE while leaving port->tx_bufs[txi].skb set. This leads to a BUG_ON() the next time this descriptor is used. This patch frees the pending skb when getting a trigger error to match the VIO_DESC_FREE state. Signed-off-by: David L Stevens Acked-by: Sowmini Varadhan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
