etherdevice: introduce help function eth_zero_addr()

2012-09-10T19:49:54Z

a lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-zeros Ethernet address. Introduce help function eth_zero_addr() to fill an address with all zeros, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of some constant arrays.

etherdevice: Rename random_ether_addr to eth_random_addr

2012-07-17T05:38:27Z

Add some API symmetry to eth_broadcast_addr and add a #define to the old name for backward compatibility. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

etherdevice: introduce eth_broadcast_addr

A lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-ones broadcast address. Introduce eth_broadcast_addr() to fill an address with all ones, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of some constant arrays. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

etherdevice: fix comments

2012-05-17T19:36:35Z

Fix some minor problems in comments of etherdevice.h * Warning is out dated, file hasn't moved or disappeared in many years and is unlikely to do so soon. * Capitalize Ethernet consistently since it is a proper name * Fix descriptive comment of padding * Spelling and grammar fix for alignment comment Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.

etherdevice: Remove now unused compare_ether_addr_64bits

2012-05-13T03:34:50Z

Move and invert the logic from the otherwise unused compare_ether_addr_64bits to ether_addr_equal_64bits. Neaten the logic in is_etherdev_addr. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

etherdevice.h: Add ether_addr_equal_64bits

2012-05-11T03:33:01Z

Add an optimized boolean function to check if 2 ethernet addresses are the same. This is to avoid any confusion about compare_ether_addr_64bits returning an unsigned, and not being able to use the compare_ether_addr_64bits function for sorting ala memcmp.

etherdev.h: Convert int is__ether_addr to bool

2012-05-08T17:06:16Z

Make the return value explicitly true or false. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: compare_ether_addr[_64bits]() has no ordering

2012-05-07T23:21:29Z

Neither compare_ether_addr() nor compare_ether_addr_64bits() (as it can fall back to the former) have comparison semantics like memcmp() where the sign of the return value indicates sort order. We had a bug in the wireless code due to a blind memcmp replacement because of this. A cursory look suggests that the wireless bug was the only one due to this semantic difference.

rename dev_hw_addr_random and remove redundant second

2012-02-13T05:46:41Z

Renamed dev_hw_addr_random to eth_hw_addr_random() to reflect that this function only assign a random ethernet address (MAC). Removed the second parameter (u8 *hwaddr), it's redundant since the also given net_device already contains net_device->dev_addr. Set it directly. Adapt igbvf and ixgbevf to the changed function. Small fix for ixgbevf_probe(): if ixgbevf_sw_init() fails (which means the device got no dev_addr) handle the error and jump to err_sw_init as already done by igbvf in similar case.
