net: add sysfs attribute to control napi threaded mode

2021-02-09T23:27:28Z

This patch adds a new sysfs attribute to the network device class. Said attribute provides a per-device control to enable/disable the threaded mode for all the napi instances of the given network device, without the need for a device up/down. User sets it to 1 or 0 to enable or disable threaded mode. Note: when switching between threaded and the current softirq based mode for a napi instance, it will not immediately take effect if the napi is currently being polled. The mode switch will happen for the next time napi_schedule() is called.

The sysfs field was introduced 4 years ago along with fixes to various drivers that erroneously used `dev_id' for that purpose, but it was not properly documented anywhere. See commit v3.14-rc3-739-g3f85944fe207. Signed-off-by: Arseny Maslennikov Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford

ethtool: drop get_settings and set_settings callbacks

2018-08-30T02:46:10Z

Since [gs]et_settings ethtool_ops callbacks have been deprecated in February 2016, all in tree NIC drivers have been converted to provide [gs]et_link_ksettings() and out of tree drivers have had enough time to do the same. Drop get_settings() and set_settings() and implement both ETHTOOL_[GS]SET and ETHTOOL_[GS]LINKSETTINGS only using [gs]et_link_ksettings(). Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S.

bridge: change BR_GROUPFWD_RESTRICTED to allow forwarding of LLDP frames

2015-05-05T23:20:28Z

BR_GROUPFWD_RESTRICTED bitmask restricts users from setting values to /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask that allow forwarding of some IEEE 802.1D Table 7-10 Reserved addresses: (MAC Control) 802.3 01-80-C2-00-00-01 (Link Aggregation) 802.3 01-80-C2-00-00-02 802.1AB LLDP 01-80-C2-00-00-0E Change BR_GROUPFWD_RESTRICTED to allow to forward LLDP frames and document group_fwd_mask. e.g. echo 16384 > /sys/class/net/brX/bridge/group_fwd_mask allows to forward LLDP frames. This may be needed for bridge setups used for network troubleshooting or any other scenario where forwarding of LLDP frames is desired (e.g. bridge connecting a virtual machine to real switch transmitting LLDP frames that virtual machine needs to receive). Tested on a simple bridge setup with two interfaces and host transmitting LLDP frames on one side of this bridge (used lldpd). Setting group_fwd_mask as described above lets LLDP frames traverse bridge. Signed-off-by: Bernhard Thaler Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
