ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.

2010-10-21T08:26:54Z

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. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross Signed-off-by: David S.

ethtool, ixgbe: Move RX n-tuple mask fixup to ethtool

2010-09-17T23:53:23Z

The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set. Currently that is done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe. Move it to the ethtool core. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Remove unimplemented flow specification types

2010-09-15T21:42:13Z

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.

ethtool: Complete kernel-doc comments for RX flow filter and hash control

2010-09-15T21:42:13Z

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. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirection

2010-06-30T21:09:37Z

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. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flags

2010-06-30T21:09:35Z

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().
