Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h

2012-03-28T17:30:03Z

Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h preparatory to splitting and killing it. Performed with the following command: perl -p -i -e 's!^#\s*include\s*.*\n!!' `grep -Irl '^#\s*include\s*' *` Signed-off-by: David Howells

drivers/net: Remove IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag from network drivers

2011-03-31T05:28:14Z

The IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM flag is marked as deprecated and will be removed. Every input point to the kernel's entropy pool have to better document the type of entropy source it is. drivers/char/random.c now implements a set of interfaces that can be used for devices to collect enviromental noise. IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM will be replaced with these add_*_randomness exported functions. Network drivers are not a good source of entropy. They use as a source of entropy essentially a remote host. Which means that the source of entropy can be potentially controlled by an attacker. Also, with heavy workloads the entropy decreases due to less hardware interrupts happening thanks to irq mitigation and NAPI. If a system relies in its network interface as a entropy source it has a false sense of security. Systems that don't have devices whose drivers are good sources of entropy, should either use a hardware random number generator or feed the kernel's entropy pool from userspace using other sources of entropy such as EGD, video_entropyd, timer_entropyd and audio-entropyd.

net: cris/eth_v10: Use net_device_stats from struct net_device_stats

2010-12-06T21:24:47Z

struct net_device has its own struct net_device_stats member, so use this one instead of a private copy in struct net_local. Note: This patch was not even compile tested. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

eth_v10: Removing dead ETRAX_NETWORK_RED_ON_NO_CONNECTION

2010-07-14T20:41:53Z

ETRAX_NETWORK_RED_ON_NO_CONNECTION doesn't exist in Kconfig, therefore removing all references for it from the source code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Egger 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.
