*sonic/natsemi/ns83829: Move the National Semi-conductor drivers

2011-08-11T23:29:21+00:00

Move the National Semi-conductor drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/natsemi/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. Also moved the 8390 (National Semi-conductor) devices as a sub-menu of National Semi-conductor devices. - moved the ibmlana driver as well into this directory since it is a "SONIC" driver CC: Alfred Arnold CC: Thomas Bogendoerfer CC: Harald Welte CC: Tim Hockin CC: CC: Kevin Chea CC: Marc Gauthier CC: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Acked-by: Marc Gauthier

Revert "net: fix section mismatches"

2011-06-01T02:28:32+00:00

This reverts commit e5cb966c0838e4da43a3b0751bdcac7fe719f7b4. It causes new build regressions with gcc-4.2 which is pretty common on non-x86 platforms. Reported-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: fix section mismatches

2011-04-19T05:59:04+00:00

Fix build warnings like the following: WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.data+0x12434): Section mismatch in reference from the variable madgemc_driver to the variable .init.data:madgemc_adapter_ids And add some consts to EISA device ID tables along the way.

drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers

2011-03-31T05:28:14+00:00

The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed. Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the type of entropy source it is. drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced with these add_*_randomness exported functions. Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq mitigation and NAPI. If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

drivers/net: avoid some skb->ip_summed initializations

2010-09-03T02:06:22+00:00

fresh skbs have ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE (0) We can avoid setting again skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE in drivers. Introduce skb_checksum_none_assert() helper so that we keep this assertion documented in driver sources. Change most occurrences of : skb->ip_summed = CHECKSUM_NONE; by : skb_checksum_none_assert(skb); Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
