ssb, b43, b43legacy, b44: Rewrite SSB DMA API

2008-06-27T13:09:15Z

This is a rewrite of the DMA API for SSB devices. This is needed, because the old (non-existing) "API" made too many bad assumptions on the API of the host-bus (PCI). This introduces an almost complete SSB-DMA-API that maps to the lowlevel bus-API based on the bustype. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

ssb: Fix usage of struct device used for DMAing

2008-04-15T19:04:35Z

This fixes DMA on architectures where DMA is nontrivial, like PPC64. We must use the host-device's (PCI) struct device for any DMA operation instead of the SSB device. For this we add a new struct device pointer to the SSB device structure that will always point to the right device for DMAing. Without this patch b43 and b44 drivers won't work on complex-DMA architectures, that for example need dev->archdata for DMA operations. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b44: Truncate PHY address

2008-03-26T03:42:07Z

Some ROMs on embedded devices store incorrect values for the PHY address of the ethernet device. It looks like the number is sign-extended. Truncate the value by applying the PHY-address mask to it. The patch was tested on a bcm47xx embedded system (where the bug triggers) and a bcm4400 PCI card. Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik

b44: power down PHY when interface down

2008-01-28T23:09:19Z

This is just this patch (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/1/51) but adapted to the 'b44' ssb driver. Signed-off-by: Miguel Botón Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

b44: Convert to use of the new SPROM structure

2008-01-28T23:04:42Z

The b44 driver is changed to use the new SPROM data structure. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

[netdrvr] Stop using legacy hooks ->self_test_count, ->get_stats_count

2007-10-10T23:51:45Z

These have been superceded by the new ->get_sset_count() hook. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Introduce and use print_mac() and DECLARE_MAC_BUF()

2007-10-10T23:51:42Z

This is nicer than the MAC_FMT stuff. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.

2007-10-10T23:51:13Z

It's been a useless no-op for long enough in 2.6 so I figured it's time to remove it. The number of people that could object because they're maintaining unified 2.4 and 2.6 drivers is probably rather small.

[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.

2007-10-10T23:47:45Z

Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device. With lots of help and suggestions from Rusty Russell, Roland Dreier, Michael Chan, Jeff Garzik, and Jamal Hadi Salim. Bug fixes from Thomas Graf, Roland Dreier, Peter Zijlstra, Joseph Fannin, Scott Wood, Hans J. Koch, and Michael Chan. [ Ported to current tree and all drivers converted. Integrated Stephen's follow-on kerneldoc additions, and restored poll_list handling to the old style to fix mutual exclusion issues. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
