ethtool: Remove exception to the requirement of holding RTNL lock

2012-04-06T06:43:12Z

Commit e52ac3398c3d772d372b9b62ab408fd5eec96840 ('net: Use device model to get driver name in skb_gso_segment()') removed the only in-tree caller of ethtool ops that doesn't hold the RTNL lock. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool, mdio, mii: Specify MDIO information fields in struct ethtool_cmd

2012-03-01T21:41:26Z

Add comments for ethtool_cmd::phy_address and ethtool_cmd::mdio_support, and definitions of the flags currently used in mdio_support. In the mdio library, assert that its own flags continue to match those in the ethtool interface. In the mii library, use the ethtool flag definition and stop including .

ethtool: Remove ethtool_ops::set_rx_ntuple operation

2012-01-04T19:10:28Z

All implementations have been converted to implement set_rxnfc instead. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Allow drivers to select RX NFC rule locations

2012-01-04T19:09:10Z

Define special location values for RX NFC that request the driver to select the actual rule location. This allows for implementation on devices that use hash-based filter lookup, whereas currently the API is more suited to devices with TCAM lookup or linear search. In ethtool_set_rxnfc() and the compat wrapper ethtool_ioctl(), copy the structure back to user-space after insertion so that the actual location is returned.

ethtool: Define and apply a default policy for RX flow hash indirection

2011-12-16T18:53:18Z

All drivers that support modification of the RX flow hash indirection table initialise it in the same way: RX rings are assigned to table entries in rotation. Make that default policy explicit by having them call a ethtool_rxfh_indir_default() function. In the ethtool core, add support for a zero size value for ETHTOOL_SRXFHINDIR, which resets the table to this default.

ethtool: Centralise validation of ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHINDIR parameters

2011-12-16T18:52:47Z

Add a new ethtool operation (get_rxfh_indir_size) to get the indirectional table size. Use this to validate the user buffer size before calling get_rxfh_indir or set_rxfh_indir. Use get_rxnfc to get the number of RX rings, and validate the contents of the new indirection table before calling set_rxfh_indir. Remove this validation from drivers.

ethtool: Clarify use of size field for ETHTOOL_GRXFHINDIR

2011-12-16T18:52:47Z

In order to find out the device's RX flow hash table size, ethtool initially uses ETHTOOL_GRXFHINDIR with a buffer size of zero. This must be supported, but it is not necessary to support any other user buffer size less than the device table size. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: remove legacy ethtool ops

As all drivers are converted, we may now remove discrete offload setting callback handling. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław Acked-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

bonding: comparing a u8 with -1 is always false

2011-11-04T22:37:23Z

slave->duplex is a u8 type so the in bond_info_show_slave() when we check "if (slave->duplex == -1)", it's always false. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Update ethtool_rxnfc::rule_cnt on return from ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL

2011-09-16T23:25:10Z

A user-space process must use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT to find the number of classification rules, then allocate a buffer of the right size, then use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL to fill the buffer. If some other process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations, the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size. If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE. But if it's too large, there is no indication of this. Fix this by updating the rule_cnt field on return. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
