net: add IFF_SKB_TX_SHARED flag to priv_flags

2011-08-16T01:31:38Z

[ Upstream commit d8873315065f1f527c7c380402cf59b1e1d0ae36 ] Pktgen attempts to transmit shared skbs to net devices, which can't be used by some drivers as they keep state information in skbs. This patch adds a flag marking drivers as being able to handle shared skbs in their tx path. Drivers are defaulted to being unable to do so, but calling ether_setup enables this flag, as 90% of the drivers calling ether_setup touch real hardware and can handle shared skbs. A subsequent patch will audit drivers to ensure that the flag is set properly Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Reported-by: Jiri Pirko CC: Robert Olsson CC: Eric Dumazet CC: Alexey Dobriyan CC: David S.

net: Add alloc_netdev_mqs function

2011-01-11T00:05:30Z

Added alloc_netdev_mqs function which allows the number of transmit and receive queues to be specified independenty. alloc_netdev_mq was changed to a macro to call the new function. Also added alloc_etherdev_mqs with same purpose. Signed-off-by: Tom Herbert Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: return operator cleanup

2010-09-23T21:33:39Z

Change "return (EXPR);" to "return EXPR;" return is not a function, parentheses are not required. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: use scnprintf() to avoid potential buffer overflow

2010-08-26T21:11:49Z

strlcpy() returns the total length of the string they tried to create, so we should not use its return value without any check. scnprintf() returns the number of characters written into @buf not including the trailing '\0', so use it instead here.

Net: ethernet: pe2.c: fix EXPORT_SYMBOL macro code style issue

2010-07-15T01:27:09Z

This patch fix a code style issue, if a function is exported, the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro for it should follow immediately after the closing function brace line. Signed-off-by: Chihau Chau Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-next: remove useless union keyword

2010-06-11T06:31:35Z

remove useless union keyword in rtable, rt6_info and dn_route. Since there is only one member in a union, the union keyword isn't useful. Signed-off-by: Changli Gao Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Inline skb_pull() in eth_type_trans().

2010-05-02T09:21:44Z

In commit 6be8ac2f ("[NET]: uninline skb_pull, de-bloats a lot") we uninlined skb_pull. But in some critical paths it makes sense to inline this thing and it helps performance significantly. Create an skb_pull_inline() so that we can do this in a way that serves also as annotation. Based upon a patch by Eric Dumazet. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethernet: print protocol in host byte order

2010-04-22T05:57:19Z

Eric's recent patch added __force, but this place would seem to require actually doing a byte order conversion so the printk is consistent across architectures. Cc: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Fix various endianness glitches

2010-04-21T02:06:52Z

Sparse can help us find endianness bugs, but we need to make some cleanups to be able to more easily spot real bugs. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
