Michał Mirosław ac52caa31e igb: convert to ndo_fix_features
Private rx_csum flags are now duplicate of netdev->features & NETIF_F_RXCSUM.
Removing this needs deeper surgery.

Things noticed:
 - HW VLAN acceleration probably can be toggled, but it's left as is
 - the resets on RX csum offload change can probably be avoided
 - there is A LOT of copy-and-pasted code here

Linus Torvalds 5629937872 Linux 3.0-rc4 2011-06-20 20:25:46 -07:00
Linus Torvalds 79568f5be0 vfs: i_state needs to be 'unsigned long' for now
Commit 13e12d14e2 ("vfs: reorganize 'struct inode' layout a bit")
moved things around a bit changed i_state to be unsigned int instead of
unsigned long.  That was to help structure layout for the 64-bit case,
and shrink 'struct inode' a bit (admittedly that only happened when
spinlock debugging was on and i_flags didn't pack with i_lock).

However, Meelis Roos reports that this results in unaligned exceptions
on sprc, and it turns out that the bit-locking primitives that we use
for the I_NEW bit want to use the bitops.  Which want 'unsigned long',
not 'unsigned int'.

We really should fix the bit locking code to not have that kind of
requirement, but that's a much bigger change.  So for now, revert that
field back to 'unsigned long' (but keep the other re-ordering changes
from the commit that caused this).

Andi points out that we have played games with this in 'struct page', so
it's solvable with other hacks too, but since right now the struct inode
size advantage only happens with some rare config options, it's not
worth fighting.

It _would_ be worth fixing the bitlocking code, though.  Especially
since there is no type safety in the bitlocking code (this never caused
any warnings, and worked fine on x86-64, because the bitlocks take a
'void *' and x86-64 doesn't care that deeply about alignment).  So it's
currently a very easy problem to trigger by mistake and never notice.

Sebastian Poehn 4aa3a71555 gianfar v5: implement nfc
This patch adds all missing functionalities for nfc except GRXFH. There is so much code because hardware has not a TCAM.
Further hardware rule space is very limited. So I had to extensively use
optimization features. Both reasons lead to the necessity to hold all
online flows in a linked-list.

Jon Mason 1b9c4134c1 myri_sbus: remove driver
Remove the myri_sbus driver. Why?
* There is no possibility of ethernet mode on this adapter, so it's
  Myrinet only.
* It won't inter-op with modern versions of Myrinet, and thus can only
  work with legacy adapters.
* There are no in-kernel Linux drivers for the PCI version of this
  adapter, so it only can work on ~15 year old Sun hardware.

It's long in the tooth, let's take it to the knackers.

Antonio Quartulli 2265c14108 batman-adv: gateway election code refactoring
The gateway election mechanism has been a little revised. Now the
gw_election is trigered by an atomic_t flag (gw_reselect) which is set
to 1 in case of election needed, avoding to set curr_gw to NULL.

Antonio Quartulli c6bda689c2 batman-adv: add wrapper function to throw uevent in userspace
Using throw_uevent() is now possible to trigger uevent signal that can
be recognised in userspace. Uevents will be triggered through the
/devices/virtual/net/{MESH_IFACE} kobject.

A triggered uevent has three properties:
- type: the event class. Who generates the event (only 'gw' is currently
  defined). Corresponds to the BATTYPE uevent variable.
- action: the associated action with the event ('add'/'change'/'del' are
  currently defined). Corresponds to the BATACTION uevent variable.
- data: any useful data for the userspace. Corresponds to the BATDATA
  uevent variable.
