[PATCH net-next 0/7] Improvements for SONIC ethernet drivers

From: Finn Thain
Date: Sat Feb 15 2020 - 16:18:24 EST


Hi David,

Now that the necessary sonic driver fixes have been merged, and the merge
window has closed again, I'm sending the remainder of my sonic driver
patch queue.

A couple of these patches will have to be applied in sequence to avoid
'git am' rejects. The others are independent and could have been submitted
individually. Please let me know if I should do that.

The complete sonic driver patch queue was tested on National Semiconductor
hardware (macsonic), qemu-system-m68k (macsonic) and qemu-system-mips64el
(jazzsonic).


Finn Thain (7):
net/sonic: Remove obsolete comment
net/sonic: Refactor duplicated code
net/sonic: Remove redundant next_tx variable
net/sonic: Remove redundant netif_start_queue() call
net/sonic: Remove explicit memory barriers
net/sonic: Start packet transmission immediately
net/macsonic: Remove interrupt handler wrapper
