* kernel: drop everything not on kernel version 4.14Daniel Golle2019-06-121-79/+0
| | | | | | | | | | * Remove testing patches for kernel version 4.19 * remove targets ar7, ixp4xx, orion Those targets are still on kernel 4.9, patches for 4.14 were not ready in time. They may be readded once people prepare and test patches for kernel 4.14. Signed-off-by: Daniel Golle <daniel@makrotopia.org>
* kernel: N_BADCLASS: fix macro to actually work - class e supportKevin Darbyshire-Bryant2019-01-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Backport upstream patch: Commit 65cab850f0ee ("net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl") modified the IN_BADCLASS macro a bit, but unfortunatly one too many '(' characters were added to the line, making any code that used it, not build properly. Also, the macro now compares an unsigned with a signed value, which isn't ok, so fix that up by making both types match properly.

* kernel: backport ifconfig ioctl support for class e addressesKevin Darbyshire-Bryant2018-12-171-0/+79
Backport net: Allow class-e address assignment via ifconfig ioctl While most distributions long ago switched to the iproute2 suite of utilities, which allow class-e (240.0.0.0/4) address assignment, distributions relying on busybox, toybox and other forms of ifconfig cannot assign class-e addresses without this kernel patch. While CIDR has been obsolete for 2 decades, and a survey of all the open source code in the world shows the IN_whatever macros are also obsolete... rather than obsolete CIDR from this ioctl entirely, this patch merely enables class-e assignment, sanely. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git/commit/?id=65cab850f0eeaa9180bd2e10a231964f33743edf Signed-off-by: Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant <ldir@darbyshire-bryant.me.uk>
