staging: et131x: Remove et131x driver from drivers/staging

2014-10-03T20:55:14Z

The current version of the et131x driver has been accepted into the main tree at /drivers/net/ethernet, so it can now be removed from staging. The MAINTAINERS entry has not been touched here, as the patch to add the driver to drivers/net modifies it correctly. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: et131x: Remove 'reduce number of spinlocks' TODO item

2014-09-19T23:02:12Z

The number of spinlocks has been halved, from 8 to 4 since this comment was made, let's see if this is enough. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: et131x: Simplify code in nic_rx_pkts() for multicast_pkts_rcvd

2014-09-19T23:02:12Z

In nic_rx_pkts(), we check that a multicast packet received (when using a multicast list) is one that was requested - despite setting the list up with the hardware. We shouldn't expect to get a mc packet we didn't ask for, so remove these extra checks. This also means that the surrounding code can be tiedied up a little. Tested somewhat with omping, with no adverse effects seen. Also remove this item from the TODO list. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: et131x: In et131x_tx(), don't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY, just drop the packet

2014-09-19T23:02:12Z

Memory allocation errors do not denote NETDEV_TX_BUSY, simply drop the packet silently with kfree_skb() and return NETDEV_TX_OK. Also remove this item from the TODO list. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: et131x: Implement NAPI support

2014-08-30T20:35:37Z

This implements NAPI support for et131x by: -adding a napi_struct to the private adapter struct -changing netfif_rx_skb() call to netif_receive_skb() -changing et131x_handle_recv_interrupt() to et131x_handle_recv_pkts() and taking a budget allocation. -changing et131x_handle_send_interrupt() to et131x_handle_send_pkts() -replacing bottom half workqueue with poll function which handles send & receive of skbs. -adding various other necessary standard napi calls. Also remove this item from the README TODO list. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Adding some trivial formatting suggestions made by Dan Carpenter to the TODO. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

staging: et131x: Remove frame error TODO item

2013-08-21T17:02:28Z

After prolonged testing for a few days of normal use with new et131x hardware, I've concluded that this was a hardware issue with the older hardware I had. Removing this item from the TODO. Signed-off-by: Mark Einon Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
