2010-12-10ethtool: Report link-down while interface is downBen Hutchings1-1/+3
While an interface is down, many implementations of ethtool_ops::get_link, including the default, ethtool_op_get_link(), will report the last link state seen while the interface was up. In general the current physical link state is not available if the interface is down. Define ETHTOOL_GLINK to reflect whether the interface *and* any physical port have a working link, and consistently return 0 when the interface is down.

2010-10-21ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.Jesse Gross1-0/+2
Now that vlan acceleration is handled consistently regardless of usage, it is possible to enable and disable it at will. This adds support for Ethtool operations that change the offloading status for debugging purposes, similar to other forms of hardware acceleration.

2010-09-17ethtool, ixgbe: Move RX n-tuple mask fixup to ethtoolBen Hutchings1-2/+3
The ethtool utility does not set masks for flow parameters that are not specified, so if both value and mask are 0 then this must be treated as equivalent to a mask with all bits set. Currently that is done in the only driver that implements RX n-tuple filtering, ixgbe. Move it to the ethtool core. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2010-09-15ethtool: Remove unimplemented flow specification typesBen Hutchings1-19/+2
struct ethtool_rawip4_spec and struct ethtool_ether_spec are neither commented nor used by any driver, so remove them. Adjust padding in the user-visible unions that included these structures. Fix references to struct ethtool_rawip4_spec in ethtool_get_rx_ntuple(), which should use struct ethtool_usrip4_spec. struct ethtool_usrip4_spec cannot hold IPv6 host addresses and there is no separate structure that can, so remove ETH_RX_NFC_IP6 and the reference to it in niu.

2010-09-15ethtool: Complete kernel-doc comments for RX flow filter and hash controlBen Hutchings1-16/+113
There are now several interfaces within the ethtool API for getting and setting RX flow filtering and hashing behaviour, most of which are poorly documented. This adds kernel-doc comments for all these interfaces, based on the existing incomplete comments and on the initial implementations.

2010-06-30ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirectionBen Hutchings1-0/+15
Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2). It can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered there. It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

2010-06-30ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flagsBen Hutchings1-1/+1
ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has no way of doing so. This means it is not suitable for use as a default implementation of ethtool_ops::set_flags. Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and change all current callers to pass this parameter. Change some other trivial implementations of ethtool_ops::set_flags to call ethtool_op_set_flags().

2010-06-29ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHBen Hutchings1-0/+2
struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add a new call.

2009-10-07ethtool: Add reset operationBen Hutchings1-0/+32
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive. A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics. This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed.

2005-10-28[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approachAnanda Raju1-0/+8
Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.
