<shemminger@osdl.org> (03/10/29 1.1397) [PATCH] trivial -- skfp_probe should be static skfp_probe used to be called from Space.c but isn't any more. Therefore it no longer needs to be global. All the calls to insert_device() pass skfp_probe as a second arg, so just use it directly. Jeff, this also is janitor type stuff, so just put it in net-2.5-exp

Most likely it should be doing request_region() there. Updated to apply agains jgarzik/net-drivers-2.5-exp

<felipewd@terra.com.br> (03/10/14 1.1337.26.6) [PATCH] release region in skfddi driver This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
<felipewd@terra.com.br> (03/10/14 1.1337.26.5) [netdrvr 3c527] remove cli/sti Richard Procter and I worked to remove cli/sti to add proper SMP support (I did the original stuff and Richard did the actual current code :)). Besides that, Richard did a great jog improving the perfomance of the driver quite a bit: - Improve mc32_command by 770% (438% non-inlined) over the semaphore version (at a cost of 1 sem + 2 completions per driver). - Removed mutex covering mc32_send_packet (hard_start_xmit). This lets the interrupt handler operate concurrently and removes unnecessary locking. It makes the code only slightly more brittle Original post: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=106438449315202&w=2 Since it didn't apply cleanly against 2.6.0-test6, I forward ported it. Patch attached. Jeff, please consider applying, Thanks.
<shemminger@osdl.org> (03/10/14 1.1337.26.4) [PATCH] remove dev_get from wanrouter The call to dev_get() in wanrouter_device_new_if is racy and redundant and should be removed. The later 'register_netdev()' does the same test internally and will return the appropriate error if the name already exists. This patch is against 2.6.0-test6. Resend of earlier patch because it was ignored, or missed.
<romieu@fr.zoreil.com> (03/10/14 1.1337.26.3) [PATCH] 2.6.0-test6 - more free_netdev() conversion Compiles ok (with true .o generated, yeah). Please review. free_netdev() of devices allocated through use of alloc_netdev(). Though baroque, drivers/net/3c515.c now uses alloc_etherdev(). drivers/net/3c515.c | 23 ++++++++++++----------- drivers/net/defxx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/dummy.c | 2 +- drivers/net/eql.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ns83820.c | 2 +- drivers/net/plip.c | 14 ++++++++++---- drivers/net/shaper.c | 11 ++++++++--- drivers/net/tun.c | 18 +++++++++--------- 9 files changed, 43 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-)
<shemminger@osdl.org> (03/10/14 1.1337.26.2) [PATCH] wan/lmc -- convert to new network device model Resend of LMC driver patch for 2.6.0-test6 * do proper probing * allocate network device with alloc_netdev * use standard pci_id's instead of local defines * use standard PCI device interface to find and remove devices.
