net: hold sock reference while processing tx timestamps

2011-11-11T17:43:08Z

commit da92b194cc36b5dc1fbd85206aeeffd80bee0c39 upstream. The pair of functions, * skb_clone_tx_timestamp() * skb_complete_tx_timestamp() were designed to allow timestamping in PHY devices. The first function, called during the MAC driver's hard_xmit method, identifies PTP protocol packets, clones them, and gives them to the PHY device driver. The PHY driver may hold onto the packet and deliver it at a later time using the second function, which adds the packet to the socket's error queue. As pointed out by Johannes, nothing prevents the socket from disappearing while the cloned packet is sitting in the PHY driver awaiting a timestamp. This patch fixes the issue by taking a reference on the socket for each such packet. In addition, the comments regarding the usage of these function are expanded to highlight the rule that PHY drivers must use skb_complete_tx_timestamp() to release the packet, in order to release the socket reference, too. These functions first appeared in v2.6.36. Reported-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Reviewed-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ibm_newemac: convert it to use of_get_phy_mode

2011-07-27T01:31:02Z

The patch extends 'enum phy_interface_t' and of_get_phy_mode a little bit with PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_NA and PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SMII added, and then converts ibm_newemac net driver to use of_get_phy_mode getting phy mode from device tree. It also resolves the namespace conflict on phy_read/write between common mdiobus interface and ibm_newemac private one. Signed-off-by: Shawn Guo Cc: David S.

net: support time stamping in phy devices.

2010-07-19T02:15:26Z

This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps from PHY devices. When enabled, likely candidates among incoming and outgoing network packets are offered to the PHY driver for possible time stamping. When accepted by the PHY driver, incoming packets are deferred for later delivery by the driver. The patch also adds phylib driver methods for the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl and callbacks for transmit and receive time stamping. Drivers may optionally implement these functions.

net: preserve ifreq parameter when calling generic phy_mii_ioctl().

2010-07-19T02:15:25Z

The phy_mii_ioctl() function unnecessarily throws away the original ifreq. We need access to the ifreq in order to support PHYs that can perform hardware time stamping. Two maverick drivers filter the ioctl commands passed to phy_mii_ioctl(). This is unnecessary since phylib will check the command in any case. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: David S.

phylib: Support phy module autoloading

2010-04-02T21:30:39Z

We don't use the normal hotplug mechanism because it doesn't work. It will load the module some time after the device appears, but that's not good enough for us -- we need the driver loaded _immediately_ because otherwise the NIC driver may just abort and then the phy 'device' goes away.

NET: Support clause 45 MDIO commands at the MDIO bus level

2010-03-17T04:23:42Z

IEEE 802.3ae clause 45 specifies a somewhat modified MDIO protocol for use by 10GIGE phys. The main change is a 21 bit address split into a 5 bit device ID and a 16 bit register offset. The definition is designed so that normal and extended devices can run on the same MDIO bus. Extend mdio-bitbang to do the new protocol. At the MDIO bus level the protocol is requested by or'ing MII_ADDR_C45 into the register offset. Make phy_read/phy_write/etc pass a full 32 bit register offset. This does not attempt to make the phy layer support C45 style PHYs, just to provide the MDIO bus support. Tested against a Broadcom 10GE phy with ID 0x206034, and several Broadcom 10/100/1000 Phys in normal mode. Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
