net drivers: fix platform driver hotplug/coldplug

2008-04-25T06:08:54+00:00

Since 43cc71eed1250755986da4c0f9898f9a635cb3bf, the platform modalias is
prefixed with "platform:".  Add MODULE_ALIAS() to the hotpluggable network
platform drivers, to re-enable auto loading.

NOTE: didn't change drivers/net/fs_enet/fs_enet-main.c "old binding" support.
That looks problematic in the first place (it even uses the ancient "struct
device_driver" binding scheme for platform_bus!) and I suspect it will vanish
soonish when arch/powerpc rules the world.  Also, drivers/net/ne.c would have
needed more thought to sort out.

phy: Change mii_bus id field to a string

2008-04-17T00:09:35+00:00

Having the id field be an int was making more complex bus topologies
excessively difficult.  For now, just convert it to a string, and
change all instances of "bus->id = val" to
snprintf(id, MII_BUS_ID_LEN, "%x", val).

macb: Use semicolon instead of comma for statement

2008-04-12T07:01:44+00:00

It seems no good reason to use comma here.

macb: Call phy_disconnect on removing

2008-04-12T07:01:42+00:00

Call phy_disconnect() on remove routine.  Otherwise the phy timer
causes a kernel crash when unloading.

macb: Fix speed setting

Fix NCFGR.SPD setting on 10Mbps.  This bug was introduced by
conversion to generic PHY layer in kernel 2.6.23.

macb: Fix section mismatch and shrink runtime footprint

2008-02-03T12:26:00+00:00

macb devices are only found integrated on SoCs, so they can't be
hotplugged. Thus, the probe() and exit() functions can be __init and
__exit, respectively. By using platform_driver_probe() instead of
platform_driver_register(), there won't be any references to the
discarded probe() function after the driver has loaded.

This also fixes a section mismatch due to macb_probe(), defined as
__devinit, calling macb_get_hwaddr, defined as __init.

MACB: clear transmit buffers properly on transmit underrun

2007-12-23T04:26:51+00:00

Initially transmit buffer pointers were only reset. But buffer
descriptors were possibly still set as ready, and buffer in upper
layer was not freed. This caused driver hang under big load.  Now
reset clean properly the buffer descriptor and freed upper layer.

[NET]: Nuke SET_MODULE_OWNER macro.

2007-10-10T23:51:13+00:00

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.

2007-10-10T23:47:45+00:00

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.
