(03/10/14 1.1360) [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. (03/10/14 1.1359) [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. (03/10/14 1.1358) [PATCH] 2.6.0-test6 - more free_netdev() conversion Compiles ok (with true .o generated, yeah).
