greth: Move the Aeroflex Gaisler driver

2011-08-13T06:47:03+00:00

Move the Aeroflex Gaisler driver into drivers/net/ethernet/aeroflex/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. CC: Kristoffer Glembo Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

greth: greth_set_mac_add would corrupt the MAC address.

2011-07-05T04:39:10+00:00

The MAC address was set using the signed char sockaddr->sa_addr field and thus the address could be corrupted through sign extension. Signed-off-by: Kristoffer Glembo Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h

2011-06-22T02:17:20+00:00

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually). To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction" definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h". Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier. Hope people are OK with tiny include file. Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove interrupt.h inclusion from netdevice.h

2011-06-07T05:55:11+00:00

* remove interrupt.g inclusion from netdevice.h -- not needed * fixup fallout, add interrupt.h and hardirq.h back where needed. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: greth: convert to hw_features

2011-04-18T00:47:36+00:00

Note: Driver modifies its struct net_device_ops. This will break if used for multiple devices that are not all the same (if that HW config is possible). Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dt/net: Eliminate users of of_platform_{,un}register_driver

2011-02-28T20:22:44+00:00

Get rid of users of of_platform_driver in drivers/net. The of_platform_{,un}register_driver functions are going away, so the users need to be converted to using the platform_bus_type directly. Signed-off-by: Grant Likely

GRETH: resolve SMP issues and other problems

2011-01-14T20:45:55+00:00

Fixes the following: 1. POLL should not enable IRQ when work is not completed 2. No locking between TX descriptor cleaning and XMIT descriptor handling 3. No locking between RX POLL and XMIT modifying control register 4. Since TX cleaning (called from POLL) is running in parallel with XMIT unnecessary locking is needed. 5. IRQ handler looks at RX frame status solely, this is wrong when IRQ is temporarily disabled (in POLL), and when IRQ is shared. 6. IRQ handler clears IRQ status, which is unnecessary 7. TX queue was stopped in preventing cause when not MAX_SKB_FRAGS+1 descriptors were available after a SKB been scheduled by XMIT. Instead the TX queue is stopped first when not enough descriptors are available upon entering XMIT. It was hard to split up this patch in smaller pieces since all are tied together somehow. Note the RX flag used in the interrupt handler does not signal that interrupt was asserted, but that a frame was received. Same goes for TX. Also, IRQ is not asserted when the RX flag is set before enabling IRQ enable until a new frame is received. So extra care must be taken to avoid enabling IRQ and all descriptors are already used, hence dead lock will upon us. See new POLL implementation that enableds IRQ then look at the RX flag to determine if one or more IRQs may have been missed. TX/RX flags are cleared before handling previously enabled descriptors, this ensures that the RX/TX flags are valid when determining if IRQ should be turned on again. By moving TX cleaning from POLL to XMIT in the standard case, removes some locking trouble. Enabling TX cleaning from poll only when not enough TX descriptors are available is safe because the TX queue is at the same time stopped, thus XMIT will not be called. The TX queue is woken up again when enough descriptrs are available. TX Frames are always enabled with IRQ, however the TX IRQ Enable flag will not be enabled until XMIT must wait for free descriptors. Locking RX and XMIT parts of the driver from each other is needed because the RX/TX enable bits share the same register. Signed-off-by: Daniel Hellstrom Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

GRETH: handle frame error interrupts

2011-01-14T20:45:54+00:00

Frame error interrupts must also be handled since the RX flag only indicates successful reception, it is unlikely but the old code may lead to dead lock if 128 error frames are recieved in a row. Signed-off-by: Daniel Hellstrom Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
