net: preserve ifreq parameter when calling generic phy_mii_ioctl().

2010-07-19T02:15:25Z

The phy_mii_ioctl() function unnecessarily throws away the original ifreq. We need access to the ifreq in order to support PHYs that can perform hardware time stamping. Two maverick drivers filter the ioctl commands passed to phy_mii_ioctl(). This is unnecessary since phylib will check the command in any case. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S.

netdev: octeon_mgmt: Fix section mismatch errors.

2010-06-29T06:58:53Z

We started getting: WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.data+0x10f0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable octeon_mgmt_driver to the function .init.text:octeon_mgmt_probe() This fixes it. Signed-off-by: David Daney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s

2010-05-14T07:19:28Z

This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary return; statements that precede the last closing brace of void functions. It does not remove the returns that are immediately preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that. It also does not remove null void functions with return. Done via: $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \ xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }' with some cleanups by hand. Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: trans_start cleanups

2010-05-10T12:01:31Z

Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler. Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: octeon_mgmt: Try not to drop TX packets when stopping the queue.

2010-05-06T04:22:35Z

Stop the queue when we add the packet that will fill it instead of dropping the packet Signed-off-by: David Daney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: octeon_mgmt: Free TX skbufs in a timely manner.

2010-05-06T04:22:34Z

We also reduce the high water mark to 1 so skbufs are not stranded for long periods of time. Since we are cleaning after each packet, no need to do it in the transmit path. Signed-off-by: David Daney Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
