  • e596e6e4d   ethtool: Report link-down while interface is down ... Browse Code »

    While an interface is down, many implementations of
    ethtool_ops::get_link, including the default, ethtool_op_get_link(),
    will report the last link state seen while the interface was up. In
    general the current physical link state is not available if the
    interface is down.

    Define ETHTOOL_GLINK to reflect whether the interface *and* any
    physical port have a working link, and consistently return 0 when the
    interface is down.

  • d5dbda238   ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration. ... Browse Code »

    Now that vlan acceleration is handled consistently regardless of usage,
    it is possible to enable and disable it at will. This adds support for
    Ethtool operations that change the offloading status for debugging
    purposes, similar to other forms of hardware acceleration.

  • e0de7c93b   ethtool: Remove unimplemented flow specification types ... Browse Code »

    struct ethtool_rawip4_spec and struct ethtool_ether_spec are neither
    commented nor used by any driver, so remove them. Adjust padding in
    the user-visible unions that included these structures.

    Fix references to struct ethtool_rawip4_spec in
    ethtool_get_rx_ntuple(), which should use struct ethtool_usrip4_spec.

    struct ethtool_usrip4_spec cannot hold IPv6 host addresses and there
    is no separate structure that can, so remove ETH_RX_NFC_IP6 and the
    reference to it in niu.

  • e03558730   ethtool: Complete kernel-doc comments for RX flow filter and hash control ... Browse Code »

    There are now several interfaces within the ethtool API for getting
    and setting RX flow filtering and hashing behaviour, most of which are
    poorly documented. This adds kernel-doc comments for all these
    interfaces, based on the existing incomplete comments and on the
    initial implementations.

  • a5b6ee291   ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirection ... Browse Code »

    Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one
    of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It
    can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
    that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
    there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for
    user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

  • 1437ce398   ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flags ... Browse Code »

    ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has
    no way of doing so. This means it is not suitable for use as a
    default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags.

    Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
    hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
    change all current callers to pass this parameter.

    Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to
    call ethtool_op_set_flags().

  • bf988435b   ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFH ... Browse Code »

    struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the
    ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data
    fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional
    commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new
    structure, but it is too late to change that now.

    Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition
    for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the
    additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and
    from user-space.

    Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of
    ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add
    a new call. Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained
    from ->get_sset_count().

    Hence the "some" in the attached patch to include/linux/ethtool.h,
    addressing your comment.

    Agreed.

    I've attached a follow-up patch, which should enable my/Jeff's kernel
    patch to be applied, followed by this one.

    This patchset enables the ethtool layer to program n-tuple
    filters to an underlying device. The idea is to allow capable
    hardware to have static rules applied that can assist steering
    flows into appropriate queues.

    Hardware that is known to support these types of filters today
    are ixgbe and niu.

  • d73d3a8cb   ethtool: Add reset operation ... Browse Code »

    After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
    relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should
    not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.

    A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.

    This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
    components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
    those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the
    use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

  • 05c6a8d7a   net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file. ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool.
    The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image
    using the request firmware path.

    The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option.
    It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool,
    to the region to be flashed.

    The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.
