netlink: fix setsockopt in mmap examples in documentation

2014-03-20T18:11:38Z

The documentation for how to use netlink mmap interface is incorrect. The calls to setsockopt() require an additional argument. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Improve SO_TIMESTAMPING documentation and fix a minor code bug

2014-03-06T21:18:01Z

The original documentation was very unclear. The code fix is presumably related to the formerly unclear documentation: SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE has no effect on __sock_recv_timestamp's behavior, so calling __sock_recv_ts_and_drops from sock_recv_ts_and_drops if only SOCK_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE is set is pointless. This should have no user-observable effect. Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski Acked-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

can: remove CAN FD compatibility for CAN 2.0 sockets

2014-03-03T13:29:52Z

In commit e2d265d3b587 (canfd: add support for CAN FD in CAN_RAW sockets) CAN FD frames with a payload length up to 8 byte are passed to legacy sockets where the CAN FD support was not enabled by the application. After some discussions with developers at a fair this well meant feature leads to confusion as no clean switch for CAN / CAN FD is provided to the application programmer. Additionally a compatibility like this for legacy CAN_RAW sockets requires some compatibility handling for the sending, e.g. make CAN2.0 frames a CAN FD frame with BRS at transmission time (?!?). This will become a mess when people start to develop applications with real CAN FD hardware. This patch reverts the bad compatibility code together with the documentation describing the removed feature.

Documentation/networking: delete orphaned 3c505.txt file.

2014-02-13T22:08:29Z

In the commit 0e245dbaac9fa1c2fd0f4e2af7b9f6d874083a8b ("drivers/net: delete the 3Com 3c505/3c507 intel i825xx support") we clobbered the 3c505 driver (over a year ago) along with other abandoned ISA drivers. However, this orphaned README file escaped detection at that time, and has lived on until today. Get rid of it now. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

2014-01-20T04:02:02Z

The current .init and .exit callbacks requires access to driver private data structures. This is not a good seperation and abstraction. Instead, we add a new .setup callback for allocating private data, and pass the returned pointer to the other callbacks. Signed-off-by: Chen-Yu Tsai Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
