net: remove NETDEV_TX_LOCKED support
No more users in the tree, remove NETDEV_TX_LOCKED support. Adds another hole in softnet_stats struct, but better than keeping the unused collision counter around. Signed-off-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* LLTX driver (deprecated for hardware drivers)
|
||||
|
||||
NETIF_F_LLTX should be set in drivers that implement their own locking in
|
||||
transmit path or don't need locking at all (e.g. software tunnels).
|
||||
In ndo_start_xmit, it is recommended to use a try_lock and return
|
||||
NETDEV_TX_LOCKED when the spin lock fails. The locking should also properly
|
||||
protect against other callbacks (the rules you need to find out).
|
||||
NETIF_F_LLTX is meant to be used by drivers that don't need locking at all,
|
||||
e.g. software tunnels.
|
||||
|
||||
Don't use it for new drivers.
|
||||
This is also used in a few legacy drivers that implement their
|
||||
own locking, don't use it for new (hardware) drivers.
