-TODO:
|
|
|
- - move firmware loading to request_firmware()
|
|
|
- - remove direct memory access of structures
|
|
|
- - any remaining sparse and checkpatch.pl warnings
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - use net_device_ops
|
|
|
- - use dev->stats rather than adapter->stats
|
|
|
- - don't cast netdev_priv it is already void
|
|
|
- - GET RID OF MACROS
|
|
|
- - work on all architectures
|
|
|
- - without CONFIG_X86_64 confusion
|
|
|
- - do 64 bit correctly
|
|
|
- - don't depend on order of union
|
|
|
- - get rid of ASSERT(), use BUG() instead but only where necessary
|
|
|
- looks like most aren't really useful
|
|
|
- - no new SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl allowed
|
|
|
- - don't use module_param for configuring interrupt mitigation
|
|
|
- use ethtool instead
|
|
|
- - reorder code to elminate use of forward declarations
|
|
|
- - don't keep private linked list of drivers.
|
|
|
- - remove all the gratiutous debug infrastructure
|
|
|
- - use PCI_DEVICE()
|
|
|
- - do ethtool correctly using ethtool_ops
|
|
|
- - NAPI?
|
|
|
- - wasted overhead of extra stats
|
|
|
- - state variables for things that are
|
|
|
- easily available and shouldn't be kept in card structure, cardnum, ...
|
|
|
- slotnumber, events, ...
|
|
|
- - get rid of slic_spinlock wrapper
|
|
|
- - volatile == bad design => bad code
|
|
|
- - locking too fine grained, not designed just throw more locks
|
|
|
- at problem
