This reverts commit f96dee13b8e10f00840124255bed1d8b4c6afd6f. It isn't right, ethtool is meant to manage one PHY instance per netdevice at a time, and this is selected by the SET command. Therefore by definition the GET command must only return the settings for the configured and selected PHY. Reported-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-05-22net: core: 'ethtool' issue with querying phy settingsArun Parameswaran1-1/+9
When trying to configure the settings for PHY1, using commands like 'ethtool -s eth0 phyad 1 speed 100', the 'ethtool' seems to modify other settings apart from the speed of the PHY1, in the above case. The ethtool seems to query the settings for PHY0, and use this as the base to apply the new settings to the PHY1. This is causing the other settings of the PHY 1 to be wrongly configured. The issue is caused by the '_ethtool_get_settings()' API, which gets called because of the 'ETHTOOL_GSET' command, is clearing the 'cmd' pointer (of type 'struct ethtool_cmd') by calling memset. This clears all the parameters (if any) passed for the 'ETHTOOL_GSET' cmd. So the driver's callback is always invoked with 'cmd->phy_address' as '0'. The '_ethtool_get_settings()' is called from other files in the 'net/core'. So the fix is applied to the 'ethtool_get_settings()' which is only called in the context of the 'ethtool'.

2014-12-08ethtool: Support for configurable RSS hash functionEyal Perry1-32/+37
This patch extends the set/get_rxfh ethtool-options for getting or setting the RSS hash function. It modifies drivers implementation of set/get_rxfh accordingly. This change also delegates the responsibility of checking whether a modification to a certain RX flow hash parameter is supported to the driver implementation of set_rxfh. User-kernel API is done through the new hfunc bitmask field in the ethtool_rxfh struct. A bit set in the hfunc field is corresponding to an index in the new string-set ETH_SS_RSS_HASH_FUNCS. Got approval from most of the relevant driver maintainers that their driver is using Toeplitz, and for the few that didn't answered, also assumed it is Toeplitz.

2014-11-16net: provide a per host RSS key generic infrastructureEric Dumazet1-0/+11
RSS (Receive Side Scaling) typically uses Toeplitz hash and a 40 or 52 bytes RSS key. Some drivers use a constant (and well known key), some drivers use a random key per port, making bonding setups hard to tune. Well known keys increase attack surface, considering that number of queues is usually a power of two. This patch provides infrastructure to help drivers doing the right thing. netdev_rss_key_fill() should be used by drivers to initialize their RSS key, even if they provide ethtool -X support to let user redefine the key later. A new /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_rss_key file can be used to get the host RSS key even for drivers not providing ethtool -x support, in case some applications want to precisely setup flows to match some RX queues.

The xen-netback conflict was overlapping changes involving the handling of the notify list in xen_netbk_rx_action(). Batman conflict resolution provided by Antonio Quartulli, basically keep everything in both conflict hunks. The nl80211 conflict is a little more involved. In 'net' we added a dynamic memory allocation to nl80211_dump_wiphy() to fix a race that Linus reported. Meanwhile in 'net-next' the handlers were converted to use pre and post doit handlers which use a flag to determine whether to hold the RTNL mutex around the operation. However, the dump handlers to not use this logic. Instead they have to explicitly do the locking. There were apparent bugs in the conversion of nl80211_dump_wiphy() in that we were not dropping the RTNL mutex in all the return paths, and it seems we very much should be doing so. So I fixed that whilst handling the overlapping changes. To simplify the initial returns, I take the RTNL mutex after we try to allocate 'tb'. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-06-17vlan: restore ethtool ABI to control VLAN hardware accelerationFernando Luis Vazquez Cao1-3/+3
As part of the push to add 802.1ad server provider tagging support to the kernel the VLAN features flags were renamed. Unfortunately the kernel name for the VLAN hardware acceleration features that the kernel shows user space was included in the rename, which broke ethtool (txvlan and rxvlan options do not work). This patch restores the original names, i.e. the original ABI. If we wanted to make clear to users that we are refering to CTAGs we can always change ethtool's short_name and long_name for these features (for example something along the lines of txvlan -> txvlan-ctag, tx-vlan-offload -> tx-vlan-ctag-offload).

2013-05-27MPLS: Add limited GSO supportSimon Horman1-0/+1
In the case where a non-MPLS packet is received and an MPLS stack is added it may well be the case that the original skb is GSO but the NIC used for transmit does not support GSO of MPLS packets. The aim of this code is to provide GSO in software for MPLS packets whose skbs are GSO. SKB Usage: When an implementation adds an MPLS stack to a non-MPLS packet it should do the following to skb metadata: * Set skb->inner_protocol to the old non-MPLS ethertype of the packet. skb->inner_protocol is added by this patch. * Set skb->protocol to the new MPLS ethertype of the packet. * Set skb->network_header to correspond to the end of the L3 header, including the MPLS label stack. I have posted a patch, "[PATCH v3.29] datapath: Add basic MPLS support to kernel" which adds MPLS support to the kernel datapath of Open vSwtich. That patch sets the above requirements in datapath/actions.c:push_mpls() and was used to exercise this code. The datapath patch is against the Open vSwtich tree but it is intended that it be added to the Open vSwtich code present in the mainline Linux kernel at some point. Features: I believe that the approach that I have taken is at least partially consistent with the handling of other protocols. Jesse, I understand that you have some ideas here. I am more than happy to change my implementation. This patch adds dev->mpls_features which may be used by devices to advertise features supported for MPLS packets. A new NETIF_F_MPLS_GSO feature is added for devices which support hardware MPLS GSO offload. Currently no devices support this and MPLS GSO always falls back to software. Alternate Implementation: One possible alternate implementation is to teach netif_skb_features() and skb_network_protocol() about MPLS, in a similar way to their understanding of VLANs. I believe this would avoid the need for net/mpls/mpls_gso.c and in particular the calls to __skb_push() and __skb_push() in mpls_gso_segment(). I have decided on the implementation in this patch as it should not introduce any overhead in the case where mpls_gso is not compiled into the kernel or inserted as a module.

2012-11-18net: Allow userns root control of the core of the network stack.Eric W. Biederman1-1/+1
Allow an unpriviled user who has created a user namespace, and then created a network namespace to effectively use the new network namespace, by reducing capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) and capable(CAP_NET_RAW) calls to be ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), or capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_RAW) calls. Settings that merely control a single network device are allowed. Either the network device is a logical network device where restrictions make no difference or the network device is hardware NIC that has been explicity moved from the initial network namespace. In general policy and network stack state changes are allowed while resource control is left unchanged. Allow ethtool ioctls. Allow binding to network devices. Allow setting the socket mark. Allow setting the socket priority. Allow setting the network device alias via sysfs. Allow setting the mtu via sysfs. Allow changing the network device flags via sysfs. Allow setting the network device group via sysfs. Allow the following network device ioctls.

2012-09-19net: provide a default dev->ethtool_opsEric Dumazet1-12/+0
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.

2012-05-10ethtool: Extend the ethtool API to obtain plugin module eeprom dataStuart Hodgson1-0/+47
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 <smhodgson@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

2012-04-04ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.Richard Cochran1-3/+45
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.
