Hi all,
IFF_OACTIVE is gone from kernel land. For user space the IFF_OACTIVE
is still defined for compability.
All of the network drivers in the tree are converted. I have tried my
best to test as much hardware as I could, however, I still could break
things. If you notice anything stupid happened on your NICs on the
latest master, e.g. 100% cpu usage, please let me know.
For folks that are doing kernel side driver work, you usually need to
do following convertion:
1)
if ((ifp->if_flags & (IFF_RUNING | IFF_OACTIVE)) == IFF_RUNNING)
--->
if ((ifp->if_flags & IFF_RUNNING) == 0 || ifq_is_oactive(&ifp->if_snd))
2)
ifp->if_flags |= IFF_OACTIVE;
--->
ifq_set_oactive(&ifp->if_snd);
3)
ifp->if_flags &= ~IFF_OACTIVE;
--->
ifq_clr_oactive(&ifp->if_snd);
4)
ifp->if_flags &= ~(IFF_RUNNING | IFF_OACTIVE);
--->
ifp->if_flags &= ~IFF_RUNNING;
ifq_clr_oactive(&ifp->if_snd);
Best Regards,
sephe
