Subject: [RFT PATCH 0/9] Cleanup and extension of netdev features
This is a preview of the cleanups pending after getting rid of old
ethtool ops from remaining drivers.
Patches inside:
1. (placeholder for Intel patches)
2. removal of old ethtool ops
(most further patches depend on this one)
3. break association of ETH_FLAG_* with netdev features
this will allow to change the representation and access pattern
of the feature sets if later needed; as a bonus, the features
can be (almost) freely rearranged
4. introducing netdev_features_t
use new type wherever features are passed around (this needed
new include - otherwise linux/skbuff.h would need linux/netdevice.h)
5. cleanup of feature bits
6. cleanup of feature name table
(depends on #5)
7. prepare ethtool [GS]FEATURES for larger netdev_features_t
8. tadaaa: 64 bits for features
9. a lone cleanup patch for NOCACHE_COPY feature
Bear in mind, that I only compile tested the whole series (x86 allyesconfig).
I'll do per-patch builds after all needed patches are in net-next.
Note about netdev_features_t: I don't like the idea of converting it to
bitmap type and building wrappers around, so I won't even try to
implement it. Nevertheless, this series will make the conversion easier
if someone ever wants to go that way.
Best Regards,
Michał Mirosław
