eth: remove neterion/vxge

2022-07-05T22:26:31Z

The last meaningful change to this driver was made by Jon in 2011. As much as we'd like to believe that this is because the code is perfect the chances are nobody is using this hardware. Because of the size of this driver there is a nontrivial maintenance cost to keeping this code around, in the last 2 years we're averaging more than 1 change a month. Some of which require nontrivial review effort, see commit 877fe9d49b74 ("Revert "drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge: Fix a use-after-free bug in vxge-main.c"") for example. Let's try to remove this driver. In general, IMHO, we need to establish a clear path for shedding dead code. It will be hard to unless we have some experience trying to delete stuff.

net: vxge: Remove unnecessary synchronize_irq() before free_irq()

2022-05-17T11:03:14Z

Calling synchronize_irq() right before free_irq() is quite useless. On one hand the IRQ can easily fire again before free_irq() is entered, on the other hand free_irq() itself calls synchronize_irq() internally (in a race condition free way), before any state associated with the IRQ is freed.

eth: switch to netif_napi_add_weight()

Switch all Ethernet drivers which use custom napi weights to the new API. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

eth: vxge: remove a copy of the NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT define

2022-04-29T10:56:42Z

Defining local versions of NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT with the same values in the drivers just makes refactoring harder. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: vxge: Use dma_set_mask_and_coherent() and simplify code

2022-01-03T10:42:58Z

Use dma_set_mask_and_coherent() instead of unrolling it with some dma_set_mask()+dma_set_coherent_mask(). Moreover, as stated in [1], dma_set_mask() with a 64-bit mask will never fail if dev->dma_mask is non-NULL. So, if it fails, the 32 bits case will also fail for the same reason. That said, 'high_dma' can only be 1 after a successful dma_set_mask_and_coherent(). Simplify code and remove some dead code accordingly, including a now useless parameter to vxge_device_register().

net_tstamp: add new flag HWTSTAMP_FLAG_BONDED_PHC_INDEX

2021-12-14T12:28:24Z

Since commit 94dd016ae538 ("bond: pass get_ts_info and SIOC[SG]HWTSTAMP ioctl to active device") the user could get bond active interface's PHC index directly. But when there is a failover, the bond active interface will change, thus the PHC index is also changed. This may break the user's program if they did not update the PHC timely. This patch adds a new hwtstamp_config flag HWTSTAMP_FLAG_BONDED_PHC_INDEX. When the user wants to get the bond active interface's PHC, they need to add this flag and be aware the PHC index may be changed. With the new flag. All flag checks in current drivers are removed. Only the checking in net_hwtstamp_validate() is kept. Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet: use eth_hw_addr_set() for dev->addr_len cases

Build failure in drivers/net/wwan/mhi_wwan_mbim.c: add missing parameter (0, assuming we don't want buffer pre-alloc). Conflict in drivers/net/dsa/sja1105/sja1105_main.c between: 589918df9322 ("net: dsa: sja1105: be stateless with FDB entries on SJA1105P/Q/R/S/SJA1110 too") 0fac6aa098ed ("net: dsa: sja1105: delete the best_effort_vlan_filtering mode") Follow the instructions from the commit message of the former commit - removed the if conditions. When looking at commit 589918df9322 ("net: dsa: sja1105: be stateless with FDB entries on SJA1105P/Q/R/S/SJA1110 too") note that the mask_iotag fields get removed by the following patch.
