net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice

2011-05-05T17:57:45Z

Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit dev_alloc_name() calls. The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains. This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by 84c49d8c3e4abefb0a41a77b25aa37ebe8d6b743 Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

dummy: percpu stats and lockless xmit

2010-09-29T20:23:30Z

Converts dummy network device driver to : - percpu stats - 64bit stats - lockless xmit (NETIF_F_LLTX) - performance features added (NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_TSO | NETIF_F_NO_CSUM | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

netdev: convert pseudo drivers to netdev_tx_t

net: use NETDEV_TX_OK instead of 0 in ndo_start_xmit() functions

2009-07-06T02:16:04Z

This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK. Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be handled in a seperate patch. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy 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.

[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link: allow specifying initial device address

2007-07-12T02:45:36Z

Drivers need to validate the initial addresses in their netlink attribute validation function or manually reject them if they can't support this. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

[RTNETLINK]: rtnl_link API simplification

2007-07-12T02:45:33Z

All drivers need to unregister their devices in the module unload function. While doing so they must hold the rtnl and atomically unregister the rtnl_link ops as well. This makes the rtnl_link_unregister function that takes the rtnl itself completely useless. Provide default newlink/dellink functions, make __rtnl_link_unregister and rtnl_link_unregister unregister all devices with matching rtnl_link_ops and change the existing users to take advantage of that.

[DUMMY]: Keep dummy devices on list

Use a list instead of an array to allow creating new devices. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
