net: create netdev->dev_addr assignment helpers

2023-08-11T09:45:05Z

[ Upstream commit 48eab831ae8b9f7002a533fa4235eed63ea1f1a3 ] Recent work on converting address list to a tree made it obvious we need an abstraction around writing netdev->dev_addr. Without such abstraction updating the main device address is invisible to the core. Introduce a number of helpers which for now just wrap memcpy() but in the future can make necessary changes to the address tree. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S.

etherdevice: Adjust ether_addr* prototypes to silence -Wstringop-overead

2022-04-27T11:39:41Z

commit 2618a0dae09ef37728dab89ff60418cbe25ae6bd upstream. With GCC 12, -Wstringop-overread was warning about an implicit cast from char[6] to char[8]. However, the extra 2 bytes are always thrown away, alignment doesn't matter, and the risk of hitting the edge of unallocated memory has been accepted, so this prototype can just be converted to a regular char *.

net: Convert GRO SKB handling to list_head.

2018-06-26T02:33:04Z

Manage pending per-NAPI GRO packets via list_head. Return an SKB pointer from the GRO receive handlers. When GRO receive handlers return non-NULL, it means that this SKB needs to be completed at this time and removed from the NAPI queue. Several operations are greatly simplified by this transformation, especially timing out the oldest SKB in the list when gro_count exceeds MAX_GRO_SKBS, and napi_gro_flush() which walks the queue in reverse order.

net: Extra '_get' in declaration of arch_get_platform_mac_address

In commit c7f5d105495a ("net: Add eth_platform_get_mac_address() helper."), two declarations were added: int eth_platform_get_mac_address(struct device *dev, u8 *mac_addr); unsigned char *arch_get_platform_get_mac_address(void); An extra '_get' was introduced in arch_get_platform_get_mac_address, remove it.

net: Define eth_stp_addr in linux/etherdevice.h

2017-11-03T05:17:39Z

The lan9303 driver defines eth_stp_addr as a synonym to eth_reserved_addr_base to get the STP ethernet address 01:80:c2:00:00:00. eth_reserved_addr_base is also used to define the start of Bridge Reserved ethernet address range, which happen to be the STP address. br_dev_setup refer to eth_reserved_addr_base as a definition of STP address. Clean up by: - Move the eth_stp_addr definition to linux/etherdevice.h - Use eth_stp_addr instead of eth_reserved_addr_base in br_dev_setup.

net: add devm version of alloc_etherdev_mqs function

2017-01-30T00:24:12Z

This patch adds devm_alloc_etherdev_mqs function and devm_alloc_etherdev macro. These can be used for simpler netdev allocation without having to care about calling free_netdev. Thanks to this change drivers, their error paths and removal paths may get simpler by a bit. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

dsa: mv88e6xxx: Optimise atu_get

2017-01-04T21:34:34Z

Lookup in the ATU can be performed starting from a given MAC address. This is faster than starting with the first possible MAC address and iterating all entries. Entries are returned in numeric order. So if the MAC address returned is bigger than what we are searching for, we know it is not in the ATU. Using the benchmark provided by Volodymyr Bendiuga , https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg411550.html on an Marvell Armada 370 RD, the test to add a number of static fdb entries went from 1.616531 seconds to 0.312052 seconds.

net: Add eth_platform_get_mac_address() helper.

2016-01-06T21:31:56Z

A repeating pattern in drivers has become to use OF node information and, if not found, platform specific host information to extract the ethernet address for a given device. Currently this is done with a call to of_get_mac_address() and then some ifdef'd stuff for SPARC. Consolidate this into a portable routine, and provide the arch_get_platform_mac_address() weak function hook for all architectures to implement if they want. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
