linux/ethtool: Added macro ETH_FW_DUMP_DISABLE

2012-05-15T17:13:33Z

o flag field of ethtool_dump structure must be initialized by this macro value that is zero, if the firmware dump is disabled. by this we can get the firmware dump capability [enable/disable] via ethtool Signed-off-by: Manish chopra Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Extend the ethtool API to obtain plugin module eeprom data

2012-05-10T01:22:17Z

ETHTOOL_GMODULEINFO returns a new struct ethtool_modinfo that will return the type and size of plug-in module eeprom (such as SFP+) for parsing by userland program. ETHTOOL_GMODULEEEPROM returns the raw eeprom information using the existing ethtool_eeprom structture to return the data Signed-off-by: Stuart Hodgson Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

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: Add a common function for drivers with transmit time stamping.

2012-04-04T09:28:46Z

Currently, most drivers do not support transmit SO_TIMESTAMPING. For those that do support it, there is one appropriate response to the get_ts_info query. This patch adds a common function providing this response. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.

2012-04-04T09:28:45Z

This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device associated with the interface. Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY drivers lack special time stamping features.

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.
