2017-01-30	drivers: net: generalize napi_complete_done()	Eric Dumazet	1	-1/+1
	napi_complete_done() allows to opt-in for gro_flush_timeout, added back in linux-3.19, commit 3b47d30396ba ("net: gro: add a per device gro flush timer") This allows for more efficient GRO aggregation without sacrifying latencies.

2016-12-16	net: ethernet: hisi_femac: Call SET_NETDEV_DEV()	Dongpo Li	1	-1/+1
	The hisi_femac driver calls into PHYLIB which now checks for net_device->dev.parent, so make sure we do set it before calling into any MDIO/PHYLIB related function. Fixes: ec988ad78ed6 ("phy: Don't increment MDIO bus refcount unless it's a different owner") Signed-off-by: Dongpo Li <lidongpo@hisilicon.com> Reviewed-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-10-13	net: deprecate eth_change_mtu, remove usage	Jarod Wilson	1	-1/+0
	With centralized MTU checking, there's nothing productive done by eth_change_mtu that isn't already done in dev_set_mtu, so mark it as deprecated and remove all usage of it in the kernel. All callers have been audited for calls to alloc_etherdev* or ether_setup directly, which means they all have a valid dev->min_mtu and dev->max_mtu. Now eth_change_mtu prints out a netdev_warn about being deprecated, for the benefit of out-of-tree drivers that might be utilizing it. Of note, dvb_net.c actually had dev->mtu = 4096, while using eth_change_mtu, meaning that if you ever tried changing it's mtu, you couldn't set it above 1500 anymore. It's now getting dev->max_mtu also set to 4096 to remedy that. v2: fix up lantiq_etop, missed breakage due to drive not compiling on x86 CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jarod Wilson <jarod@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-09-26	net: hisilicon: mark symbols static where possible	Baoyou Xie	1	-3/+3
	We get 2 warnings when building kernel with W=1: drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hisi_femac.c:943:5: warning: no previous prototype for 'hisi_femac_drv_suspend' [-Wmissing-prototypes] drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hisi_femac.c:960:5: warning: no previous prototype for 'hisi_femac_drv_resume' [-Wmissing-prototypes] In fact, these two functions are only used in the file in which they are declared and don't need a declaration, but can be made static. so this patch marks these functions with 'static'.

2016-08-31	net: hisilicon: constify ethtool_ops structures	Julia Lawall	1	-1/+1
	Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops. These contexts are declared const, so ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const also. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r disable optional_qualifier@ identifier i; position p; @@ static struct ethtool_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok1@ identifier r.i; struct net_device e; position p; @@ e.ethtool_ops = &i@p; @ok2@ identifier r.i; expression e; position p; @@ netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops(e, &i@p) @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok1.p,ok2.p}; identifier r.i; @@ i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct ethtool_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@lip6.fr> Signed-off-by: David S.
