workqueue: deprecate flush[_delayed]_work_sync()

2012-08-20T21:51:24Z

flush[_delayed]_work_sync() are now spurious. Mark them deprecated and convert all users to flush[_delayed]_work(). If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are non-reentrant and the regular flushes guarantee that the work item is not pending or running on any CPU on return, so there's no reason to use the sync flushes at all and they're going away. This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

dsa: Convert compare_ether_addr to ether_addr_equal

2012-05-10T00:49:19Z

Use the new bool function ether_addr_equal to add some clarity and reduce the likelihood for misuse of compare_ether_addr for sorting.

dsa: Move switch drivers to new directory drivers/net/dsa

dsa: Move all definitions needed by drivers into

2011-11-29T05:21:36Z

Any headers included by drivers should be under include/, and any definitions they use are not really private to the core as the name "dsa_priv.h" suggests. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: Lennert Buytenhek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dsa: Remove unnecessary exports

I mistakenly exported functions from slave.c that are only called from dsa.c, part of the same module. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: Lennert Buytenhek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dsa: Allow core and drivers to be built as modules

2011-11-26T19:48:16Z

Change the kconfig types to tristate and adjust the condition for declaring net_device::dsa_ptr to allow for this. Adjust the makefile so that if NET_DSA_MV88E6123_61_65=y and NET_DSA_MV88E6131=m or vice versa then both drivers are built-in. We could leave these options as bool and make NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX a user-selected option, but that would break existing configurations. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

These drivers share a lot of code, so if we make them modular they should be built into the same module. Therefore, link them together and merge their respective module init and exit functions. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
