      drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s · a4b77097
      Joe Perches authored
      
      This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
      return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
      void functions.
      
      It does not remove the returns that are immediately
      preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.
      
      It also does not remove null void functions with return.
      
      Done via:
      $ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
        xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'
      
      with some cleanups by hand.
      
      Compile tested x86 allmodconfig only.

      net: trans_start cleanups · 1ae5dc34
      Eric Dumazet authored
      
      Now that core network takes care of trans_start updates, dont do it
      in drivers themselves, if possible. Drivers can avoid one cache miss
      (on dev->trans_start) in their start_xmit() handler.
      
      Exceptions are NETIF_F_LLTX drivers

      pcmcia: dev_node removal (drivers with unregister_netdev check) · c7c2fa07
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      
      As a third step, remove any usage of dev_node_t from drivers which
      only wrote to this typedef/struct, except to determine whether
      register_netdev() succeeded previously. However, the function calling
      unregister_netdev() was only ever called by the PCMCIA core if
      register_netdev() succeeded previously. The lonely exception was
      easily fixed.

      pcmcia: re-work pcmcia_request_irq() · eb14120f
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      
      Instead of the old pcmcia_request_irq() interface, drivers may now
      choose between:
      
      - calling request_irq/free_irq directly. Use the IRQ from *p_dev->irq.
      
      - use pcmcia_request_irq(p_dev, handler_t); the PCMCIA core will
        clean up automatically on calls to pcmcia_disable_device() or
        device ejection.
      
      - drivers still not capable of IRQF_SHARED (or not telling us so) may
        use the deprecated pcmcia_request_exclusive_irq() for the time
        being; they might receive a shared IRQ nonetheless.

      pcmcia: rework the irq_req_t typedef · 5fa9167a
      Dominik Brodowski authored
      
      Most of the irq_req_t typedef'd struct can be re-worked quite
      easily:
      
      (1) IRQInfo2 was unused in any case, so drop it.
      
      (2) IRQInfo1 was used write-only, so drop it.
      
      (3) Instance (private data to be passed to the IRQ handler):
      	Most PCMCIA drivers using pcmcia_request_irq() to actually
      	register an IRQ handler set the "dev_id" to the same pointer
      	as the "priv" pointer in struct pcmcia_device. Modify the two
      	exceptions (ipwireless, ibmtr_cs) to also work this waym and
      	set the IRQ handler's "dev_id" to p_dev->priv unconditionally.
      
      (4) Handler is to be of type irq_handler_t.
      
      (5) Handler != NULL already tells whether an IRQ handler is present.
      	Therefore, we do not need the IRQ_HANDLER_PRESENT flag in
      	irq_req_t.Attributes.

      pcmcia: Fix up legacy driver IRQs · 47cbb110
      Alan Cox authored
      
      The PCMCIA layer obsoleted asking for per device private IRQS some years
      ago and all the drivers by inspection correctly use dev_id and handle
      shared interrupts [they get em anyway in most PCI bridged PCMCIA/Cardbus]
      so can be adjusted.
      
      This gets rid of the various bugs reported where there is spewage about
      conflicting irq types and sometimes the driver won't load.
      
      (Note I don't have all of these devices to test each one beyond by inspection)

      wext: Emit event stream entries correctly when compat. · ccc58057
      David S. Miller authored
      
      Three major portions to this change:
      
      1) Add IW_EV_COMPAT_LCP_LEN, IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_OFF,
         and IW_EV_COMPAT_POINT_LEN helper defines.
      
      2) Delete iw_stream_check_add_*(), they are unused.
      
      3) Add iw_request_info argument to iwe_stream_add_*(), and use it to
         size the event and pointer lengths correctly depending upon whether
         IW_REQUEST_FLAG_COMPAT is set or not.
      
      4) The mechanical transformations to the drivers and wireless stack
         bits to get the iw_request_info passed down into the routines
         modified in #3.  Also, explicit references to IW_EV_LCP_LEN are
         replaced with iwe_stream_lcp_len(info).
      
      With a lot of help and bug fixes from Masakazu Mokuno.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells authored
      
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.
