a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
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.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Thanks Mikael.

Anonymity has some good attributes.
Blame avoidance is one of them.

I've broad shoulders.  It's me, then Dwight Howard...

There might be another few of these where ->name or ->dev
was used before struct device or net_device was registered.
I'll go back and check.

tulip_core has:

	if (tp->flags & HAS_MEDIA_TABLE) {
		sprintf(dev->name, DRV_NAME "%d", board_idx);	/* hack */
		tulip_parse_eeprom(dev);
		strcpy(dev->name, "eth%d");			/* un-hack */
	}

So I don't feel _too_ bad.

tulip_parse_eeprom is done before register_netdev so the logging
there can not use netdev_<level> or dev_<level>(&dev->dev

The Davicom DM9100 and DM9102 chips are used on the motherboards of
some SPARC systems (supported by the tulip driver) and also in PCI
expansion cards (supported by the dmfe driver).  There is no
difference in the PCI device ids for the two different configurations,
so these drivers both claim the device ids.  However, it is possible
to distinguish the two configurations by the presence of Open Firmware
properties for them, so we do that.

Only files where David Miller is the primary git-signer.
wireless, wimax, ixgbe, etc are not modified.

Compile tested x86 allyesconfig only
Not all files compiled (not x86 compatible)

Added a few > 80 column lines, which I ignored.
Existing checkpatch complaints ignored.

22580f894a drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in
netpoll_send_skb(). The use of spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq()
in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and
can lead to kernel instability.

The solution is to use spin_lock_irqsave() and spin_unlock_restore()
to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb().

Call trace:
netpoll_send_skb()
{
   -> local_irq_save(flags)
     ---> dev->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev)
         ---> spin_lock_irq()
         ---> spin_unlock_irq() *******here would enable the interrupt.
              ...
   -> local_irq_restore(flags)
}
