Bug#673391: Bug to update be2net driver in Debian 7.0
Ben,
I thought I was supposed to give changes only for be2net driver. Should have asked. Sorry about that. I have some quick question on the issues you have pointed. May be I am stating the obvious but I just want to be sure, I assume that you have not applied any of the patches in the series till I get all of them right?
<Sarvesh>
Since the following patches have changes to other drivers as well, not only be2net, Should send you a patch list without these changes, (and only contain changes to be2net driver) and open separate bugs to get these changes into all drivers ?
Also you want 31/61 to go into 3.2 stable right? Do you want me to do that first before I give it for debian?
<Sarvesh>
"1/61 'sweep the floors and convert some .get_drvinfo routines to
strlcpy' (commit 68aad78c5023b8aa82da99b47f9d8cf40e8ca453 upstream)
applied to many drivers; please note in the patch header that you've
filtered it to just be2net.
Same for 27/61 'netdev: make net_device_ops const'.
31/61 'ethtool: Null-terminate filename passed to
ethtool_ops::flash_device' (commit
786f528119722f564a22ad953411374e06116333 upstream) is wrong; by
filtering to only drivers/net/emulex/benet/ you've lost the essential
part of it! Actually that fix should maybe go to stable, not just
Debian."
