      gianfar: Simplify skb resources freeing code · e69edd21
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      Remove dma_free_coherent() from stop_gfar() and gfar_start() calls,
      place it into free_skb_resources(). That makes SKB resources management
      more understandable, plus free_skb_resources() will be used as a cleanup
      routine for gfar_alloc_skb_resources() that will be implemented soon.

      gianfar: Some cleanups for startup_gfar() · ccc05c6e
      Anton Vorontsov authored
      We're going to split the startup_gfar() into 3 separate functions,
      so let's cleanup the code a little bit so that cosmetic changes
      won't distract attention from logical ones.
      
      - Remove needless casts (e.g. (struct sk_buff **)kmalloc());
      - Turn 'unsigned long vaddr;' into 'void *vaddr', to avoid casting;
      - Add new 'struct device *dev' variable as a shorthand for
        '&priv->ofdev->dev' that is used all over the place, also rename
        'struct net_device *dev' to 'struct net_device *ndev';
      - Turn printk(KERN_ERR ...) to pr_err(...), which is shorter;
      - Don't return bogus -1 (i.e. -EPERM) when request_irq() fails;
      - Turn '&priv->regs->' to just '&regs->'.

      net: Introduce recvmmsg socket syscall · a2e27255
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
      net stack entry/exit operations.
      
      Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
      optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
      
      This takes into account comments made by:
      
      . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
        sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
      
      . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
        works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
      
        If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
        will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
        one) it has received so far.
      
      . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
        datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
        the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
        in the next call.
      
      This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
      where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
      every underlying recvmsg call.
