lwn.git/drivers/usb/net/asix.c, branch v3.1.4

Move USB network drivers to drivers/net/usb.

2007-05-10T01:31:55+00:00

It is preferable to group drivers by usage (net, scsi, ATA, ...) than by bus. When reviewing drivers, the [PCI|USB|PCMCIA|...] maintainer is probably less qualified on networking issues than a networking maintainer. Also, from a practical standpoint, chips often appear on multiple buses, which is why we do not put drivers into drivers/pci/net. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_copy_to_linear_data{_offset}

2007-04-26T05:28:29+00:00

To clearly state the intent of copying to linear sk_buffs, _offset being a overly long variant but interesting for the sake of saving some bytes. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

[SK_BUFF]: Convert skb->tail to sk_buff_data_t

2007-04-26T05:26:28+00:00

So that it is also an offset from skb->head, reduces its size from 8 to 4 bytes on 64bit architectures, allowing us to combine the 4 bytes hole left by the layer headers conversion, reducing struct sk_buff size to 256 bytes, i.e. 4 64byte cachelines, and since the sk_buff slab cache is SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN... :-) Many calculations that previously required that skb->{transport,network, mac}_header be first converted to a pointer now can be done directly, being meaningful as offsets or pointers.

USB: asix.c - Add JVC-PRX1 ids

2007-02-23T23:03:45+00:00

Add device IDs for the JVC-PRX1 port replicator. Additionally cleans up the tabs on a few of other IDs in the list. Reported by: Reuben Thomas Signed-off-by: David Hollis Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: asix - Fix endian issues in asix_tx_fixup()

2007-02-16T23:32:19+00:00

The attached patch fixes endian issues in asix_tx_fixup() that prevented AX88772 and AX88178 devices from working on big-endian systems. With the attached patch, all three chips are reported to work on big endian. Signed-off-by: David Hollis Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54+00:00

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

USB: asix: Detect internal PHY and enable/use accordingly

2007-01-22T19:46:55+00:00

Different AX88772 dongles use different PHYs; the chip is capable of using both a primary and secondary PHY, and supports an internal and external PHY. It appears that some DUB-E100 devices use the internal PHY, so trying to use an external one will not work (note that this is different across revisions, as well; the "A" and "B" revs of the DUB-E100 use different PHYs!). The data sheet for the AX88772 chip specifies that the internal PHY id will be 0x10, so if that's read from the EEPROM, we should use that rather than attempting to use an external PHY. Thanks to Mitch Bradley for pointing this out! Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon Cc: David Hollis Cc: Chris Ball Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

USB: asix: Fix AX88772 device PHY selection

2007-01-05T20:19:10+00:00

A small typo in ax88772_bind() prevents the device from selecting the proper PHY, leaving the device useless. The attached patch fixes this. If this patch can be added to the 2.6.19.x series as well, that would be helpful for end-users. Signed-off-by: David Hollis Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
