2016-09-09alx: add msi-x supportTobias Regnery1-0/+14
Add msi-x support to the alx driver. This is in preparation for multi queue support. msi-x interrupts are disabled by default because without multi queue support there is no advantage over msi interrupts. The performance numbers observed with iperf stay the same.

2016-01-06ethernet/atheros/alx: sanitize buffer sizing and paddingJarod Wilson1-5/+5
This is based on the work done by Przemek Rudy in bug 70761 at bugzilla.kernel.org, but with some work done to disentagle and clarify things a bit. Similar to Przemek's work and other drivers, we're adding a padding of 16 here, but we're also disentangling mtu size calculations from max buffer size calculations a bit, and adding ETH_HLEN to the value written into ALX_MTU. Hopefully, with a bit more consistency and clarity, things behave better here. Sadly, I can only test in my alx-driven E2200, which worked just fine before this patch. In comment #58 of bug 70761, Eugene A. Shatokhin reports that this patch does help considerably for a ROSA Linux user of his with an AR8162 network adapter when patched into a 4.1.x-based kernel, with several days of normal operation where wired network previously wasn't usable without setting MTU to 9000 as a work-around.

2013-07-03alx: remove WoL supportJohannes Berg1-155/+0
Unfortunately, WoL is broken and the system will immediately resume after suspending, and I can't seem to figure out why. Remove WoL support until the issue can be found. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-07-01alx: fix MAC address alignment problemJohannes Berg1-4/+4
In two places, parts of MAC addresses are used as u32/u16 values. This can cause alignment problems, use put_unaligned and get_unaligned to fix this.

2013-07-01alx: separate link speed/duplex fieldsJohannes Berg1-79/+60
As suggested by Ben Hutchings, use separate fields to track current link speed and duplex setting. Reported-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-07-01alx: fix 100mbit/half duplex speed translationJohannes Berg1-1/+1

2013-06-17alx: add a simple AR816x/AR817x device driverJohannes Berg1-0/+1226
This is a very simple driver, based on the original vendor driver that Qualcomm/Atheros published/submitted previously, but reworked to make the code saner. However, it also lost a number of features (TSO/GSO, VLAN acceleration and multi- queue support) in the process, as well as debugging support features I didn't have any use for. The only thing I left is checksum offload. More features can obviously be added, but this seemed like a good start for having a driver in mainline at all. Johannes Stezenbach has verified that the driver works on AR8161, I have a AR8171 myself. The E2200 device ID I found on github in somebody's repository.
