net: ethernet: ixp4xx_eth: fix spelling mistake in debug message

Trivial fix to spelling mistake "successed" to "succeeded" in debug message. Also unwrap multi-line literal string. Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: deprecate eth_change_mtu, remove usage

2016-10-13T13:36:57Z

With centralized MTU checking, there's nothing productive done by eth_change_mtu that isn't already done in dev_set_mtu, so mark it as deprecated and remove all usage of it in the kernel. All callers have been audited for calls to alloc_etherdev* or ether_setup directly, which means they all have a valid dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu. Now eth_change_mtu prints out a netdev_warn about being deprecated, for the benefit of out-of-tree drivers that might be utilizing it. Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using eth_change_mtu, meaning that if you ever tried changing it's mtu, you couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set to 4096 to remedy that. v2: fix up lantiq_etop, missed breakage due to drive not compiling on x86 CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ethernet: ixp4xx_eth: use phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings

2016-07-04T22:59:52Z

There are two generics functions phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings, so we can use them instead of defining the same code in the driver. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: ixp4xx_eth: use phydev from struct net_device

2016-07-04T22:59:52Z

The private structure contain a pointer to phydev, but the structure net_device already contain such pointer. So we can remove the pointer phy in the private structure, and update the driver to use the one contained in struct net_device. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes 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

Conflicts: drivers/net/ethernet/rocker/rocker.c The rocker commit was two overlapping changes, one to rename the ->vport member to ->pport, and another making the bitmask expression use '1ULL' instead of plain '1'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet/ixp4xx: prevent allmulti from clobbering promisc

2015-02-20T20:49:07Z

If both promisc and allmulti are set, promisc should trump allmulti and disable the MAC filter; otherwise, the interface is not really promisc. Previously, this code checked IFF_ALLMULTI prior to and without regard for IFF_PROMISC; if both were set, only multicast and direct unicast traffic would make it through the filter.
