This patch is the result of an automatic spatch transformation to convert all ndo_start_xmit() return values of 0 to NETDEV_TX_OK. Some occurences are missed by the automatic conversion, those will be handled in a seperate patch. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net> Signed-off-by: David S.

/* dummy.c: a dummy net driver
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this driver is to provide a device to point a
|
|
route through, but not to actually transmit packets.
|
|
|
|
Why? If you have a machine whose only connection is an occasional
|
|
PPP/SLIP/PLIP link, you can only connect to your own hostname
|
|
when the link is up. Otherwise you have to use localhost.
|
|
This isn't very consistent.
|
|
|
|
One solution is to set up a dummy link using PPP/SLIP/PLIP,
|
|
but this seems (to me) too much overhead for too little gain.
|
|
This driver provides a small alternative. Thus you can do
|
|
|
|
[when not running slip]
|
|
ifconfig dummy slip.addr.ess.here up
|
|
[to go to slip]
|
|
ifconfig dummy down
|
|
dip whatever
|
|
|
|
This was written by looking at Donald Becker's skeleton driver
|
|
and the loopback driver. I then threw away anything that didn't
|
|
apply! Thanks to Alan Cox for the key clue on what to do with
|
|
misguided packets.
