  • We want to extract our LAN card driver from tulip core driver and
    make a new file uli526x.c at tulip folder, because we have added
    some ethtool interface support and non-eprom support in our driver
    and may be other change in the futher.

    If our controllers support are still contained in the tulip core
    driver, I think it'll increase the complexity of maintenance, you
    know, tulip core driver include several files and support so many
    other controllers. Furthermore, I tested the newest kernel 2.6.12
    and I found the tulip driver can not work on our lan controller, and
    I no time to debug it, so I aspired want to make a single uli526x.c
    file just for our controllers. Could you help us remove the ULi
    m5261/m5263 lan controller support from tulip core driver and add
    the new single uli526x.c file for us?

  • Many drivers use skb->tail unnecessarily.

    In these situations, the code roughly looks like:

    dev = dev_alloc_skb(...);

    [optional] skb_reserve(skb, ...);

    ... skb->tail ...

    But even if the skb_reserve() happens, skb->data equals
    skb->tail. So it doesn't make any sense to use anything
    other than skb->data in these cases.

    Another case was the s2io.c driver directly mucking with
    the skb->data and skb->tail pointers. It really just wanted
    to do an skb_reserve(), so that's what the code was changed
    to do instead.

    Another reason I'm making this change as it allows some SKB
    cleanups I have planned simpler to merge. In those cleanups,
    skb->head, skb->tail, and skb->end pointers are removed, and
    replaced with skb->head_room and skb->tail_room integers.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
