drivers/net: Omit check for multicast bit in netdev_for_each_mc_addr

2011-07-08T16:03:20Z

There is no need to check for the address being a multicast address in the netdev_for_each_mc_addr loop, so remove it. This patch covers all remaining network drivers still containing such a check. Cc: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: Remove casts of void *

2011-06-21T22:48:29Z

Unnecessary casts of void * clutter the code. These are the remainder casts after several specific patches to remove netdev_priv and dev_priv. Done via coccinelle script (and a little editing): $ cat cast_void_pointer.cocci @@ type T; T *pt; void *pv; @@ - pt = (T *)pv; + pt = pv; Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Acked-by: Sjur Brændeland Acked-By: Chris Snook Acked-by: Jon Mason Acked-by: Geert Uytterhoeven Acked-by: David Dillow Signed-off-by: David S.

drivers/net: Remove address use from assignments of function pointers

2010-08-25T22:35:43Z

"foo = &function" is more commonly written "foo = function" Done with coccinelle script: // @r@ identifier f; @@ f(...) { ... } @@ identifier r.f; @@ - &f + f // drivers/net/tehuti.c used a function and struct with the same name, the function was renamed.

NET: declance: Fix section mismatches

2010-07-26T18:08:14Z

WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.data+0x24): Section mismatch in reference from the variable dec_lance_tc_driver to the function .init.text:dec_lance_tc_probe() The variable dec_lance_tc_driver references the function __init dec_lance_tc_probe() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console, Fixing this one results in a new mismatch: WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.devinit.text+0x14): Section mismatch in reference from the function dec_lance_tc_probe() to the function .init.text:dec_lance_probe() The function __devinit dec_lance_tc_probe() references a function __init dec_lance_probe(). If dec_lance_probe is only used by dec_lance_tc_probe then annotate dec_lance_probe with a matching annotation. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle

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

net: convert multicast list to list_head

2010-04-03T21:22:15Z

Converts the list and the core manipulating with it to be the same as uc_list. +uses two functions for adding/removing mc address (normal and "global" variant) instead of a function parameter. +removes dev_mcast.c completely. +exposes netdev_hw_addr_list_* macros along with __hw_addr_* functions for manipulation with lists on a sandbox (used in bonding and 80211 drivers) Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

net: use netdev_mc_count and netdev_mc_empty when appropriate

2010-02-12T19:38:58Z

This patch replaces dev->mc_count in all drivers (hopefully I didn't miss anything). Used spatch and did small tweaks and conding style changes when it was suitable. Jirka Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
