net: split eth_mac_addr for better error handling

2013-01-21T19:07:44Z

When we set mac address, software mac address in system and hardware mac address all need to be updated. Current eth_mac_addr() doesn't allow callers to implement error handling nicely. This patch split eth_mac_addr() to prepare part and real commit part, then we can prepare first, and try to change hardware address, then do the real commit if hardware address is set successfully.

eth: Rename and properly align br_reserved_address array

2012-11-03T01:34:05Z

Since this array is no longer part of the bridge driver, it should have an 'eth' prefix not 'br'. We also assume that either it's 16-bit-aligned or the architecture has efficient unaligned access. Ensure the first of these is true by explicitly aligning it. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

eth: Make is_link_local() consistent with other address tests

2012-11-03T01:34:05Z

Function name should include '_ether_addr'. Return type should be bool. Parameter name should be 'addr' not 'dest' (also matching kernel-doc). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Acked-by: John Fastabend Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net, ixgbe: handle link local multicast addresses in SR-IOV mode

2012-10-30T05:31:49Z

In SR-IOV mode the PF driver acts as the uplink port and is used to send control packets e.g. lldpad, stp, etc. eth0.1 eth0.2 eth0 VF VF PF | | | <-- stand-in for uplink | | | -------------------------- | Embedded Switch | -------------------------- | MAC <-- uplink But the embedded switch is setup to forward multicast addresses to all interfaces both VFs and PF and onto the physical link. This results in reserved MAC addresses used by control protocols to be forwarded over the switch onto the VF. In the LLDP case the PF sends an LLDPDU and it is currently being forwarded to all the VFs who then see the PF as a peer. This is incorrect. This patch adds the multicast addresses to the RAR table in the hardware to prevent this behavior.

etherdevice: introduce help function eth_zero_addr()

2012-09-10T19:49:54Z

a lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-zeros Ethernet address. Introduce help function eth_zero_addr() to fill an address with all zeros, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of some constant arrays.

etherdevice: Rename random_ether_addr to eth_random_addr

Add some API symmetry to eth_broadcast_addr and add a #define to the old name for backward compatibility. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

etherdevice: introduce eth_broadcast_addr

2012-07-11T01:06:44Z

A lot of code has either the memset or an inefficient copy from a static array that contains the all-ones broadcast address. Introduce eth_broadcast_addr() to fill an address with all ones, making the code clearer and allowing us to get rid of some constant arrays. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

etherdevice: fix comments
