net: provide a default dev->ethtool_ops

2012-09-19T19:40:15Z

Instead of forcing device drivers to provide empty ethtool_ops or tweak net/core/ethtool.c again, we could provide a generic ethtool_ops. This occurred to me when I wanted to add GSO support to GRE tunnels. ethtool -k support should be generic for all drivers.

ethtool: Make more commands available to unprivileged processes

2012-06-13T01:51:09Z

'Get' commands should generally not require CAP_NET_ADMIN, with the exception of those that expose internal state. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Added kernel support in EEE Ethtool commands

2012-06-07T20:18:54Z

This patch extends the kernel's ethtool interface by adding support for 2 new EEE commands - get_eee and set_eee. Thanks goes to Giuseppe Cavallaro for his original patch adding this support.

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: Split ethtool_get_eeprom() to allow for additional EEPROM accessors

2012-05-10T01:22:17Z

We want to support reading module (SFP+, XFP, ...) EEPROMs as well as NIC EEPROMs. They will need a different command number and driver operation, but the structure and arguments will be the same and so we can share most of the code here. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

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.

net: Support RX-ALL feature flag.

2012-02-24T09:42:07Z

This flag requests that network devices pass all received frames up the stack, even ones with errors such as invalid FCS (frame check sum). This will allow sniffers to see bad packets and perhaps give the user some idea how to fix the problem. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

net: Support RXFCS feature flag.

2012-02-24T09:19:59Z

When set on hardware that supports the feature, this causes the Ethernet FCS to be appended to the end of the skb. Useful for sniffing packets. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Tested-by: Aaron Brown Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher

ethtool: Null-terminate filename passed to ethtool_ops::flash_device

2012-02-01T19:47:17Z

The parameters for ETHTOOL_FLASHDEV include a filename, which ought to be null-terminated. Currently the only driver that implements ethtool_ops::flash_device attempts to add a null terminator if necessary, but does it wrongly. Do it in the ethtool core instead.
