In addition, user space programs can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device associated with the interface.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A user-space process must use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT to find the number of classification rules, then allocate a buffer of the right size, then use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL to fill the buffer. If some other process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations, the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size. If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The location of an RX flow classification rule is needed to identify it for retrieval, replacement or deletion. However it also defines the priority of the rule in the case that a flow is matched by multiple rules. This is what I intended to imply by referring to the use of a TCAM, commonly used to implement that behaviour. However there are other ways this can be done, and it is better to specify this explicitly. Further, I want to add the option for automatic selection of rule locations.

Put ASSERT_RTNL there. - dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings() - changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls. - introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create() so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they are from other places. - use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com> v2->v3: -removed dev_ethtool_get_settings() -added ASSERT_RTNL into __ethtool_get_settings() -prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo - use __dev_get_by_index() and lock around it and __ethtool_get_settings() call v1->v2: add missing export_symbol Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> [except FCoE bits] Acked-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ethtool: Correct description of 'max_coalesced_frames' fieldsBen Hutchings2011-08-161-13/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current descriptions state that these fields specify 'How many packets to delay ... after a packet ...' which implies that the hardware should wait for (max_coalesced_frames + 1) completions before generating an interrupt. It is also stated that setting both this field and the corresponding 'coalesce_usecs' field to 0 is invalid. Together, this implies that the hardware must always be configured to delay a completion IRQ for at least 1 usec or 1 more completion. I believe that the addition of 1 is not intended, and David Miller confirms that the original implementation (in tg3) does not do this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | External loopback test can be performed by application without any driver support on normal Ethernet cards. But on CNA devices, where multiple functions share same physical port. Here internal loopback test and external loopback test can be initiated by multiple functions at same time. To co exist all functions, firmware need to regulate what test can be run by which function. So before performing external loopback test, command need to send to firmware, which will quiescent other functions. User may not want to run external loopback test always. As special cable need to be connected for this test. So adding explicit flag in ethtool self test, which will specify interface to perform external loopback test.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET). This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to drivers. This also means that whoever calls dev_ethtool_get_settings() does not have to clean the ethtool command parameter. This function also becomes an exported symbol instead of an inline.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long period of time, holding the RTNL lock. This blocks routing updates, device enumeration, and various important operations that one might want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED. We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and drivers may well depend upon holding the lock. Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously). When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting and only acquires it around calls to this operation. Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this. It can be removed once all in-tree drivers are converted. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX, and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not match current settings and can not be changed by driver. Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future (also on drivers that do not have the problem). Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver. Cc: stable@kernel.org # 2.6.37+ Signed-off-by: Stanislaw Gruszka <sgruszka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: implement dev_disable_lro() hw_features compatibilityMichał Mirosław2011-03-221-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | Implement compatibility with new hw_features for dev_disable_lro(). This is a transition path - dev_disable_lro() should be later integrated into netdev_fix_features() after all drivers are converted.

* ethtool: Compat handling for struct ethtool_rxnfcBen Hutchings2011-03-181-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | This structure was accidentally defined such that its layout can differ between 32-bit and 64-bit processes. Add compat structure definitions and an ioctl wrapper function.

* net: Implement SFEATURES compatibility for not updated driversMichał Mirosław2011-02-231-0/+5
| | | | | | | | Use discrete setting ops for not updated drivers. This will not make them conform to full G/SFEATURES semantics, though. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
* net: introduce NETIF_F_RXCSUMMichał Mirosław2011-02-171-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | Introduce NETIF_F_RXCSUM to replace device-private flags for RX checksum offload. Integrate it with ndo_fix_features. ethtool_op_get_rx_csum() is removed altogether as nothing in-tree uses it. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

* net: Introduce new feature setting opsMichał Mirosław2011-02-171-0/+85
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting. It consists of: - new fields in struct net_device: + hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling + wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible - new netdev_ops: + feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for enabling features or their combinations + ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match changed dev->features - new ethtool commands: + ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features changed + ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning) Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ethtool: Report link-down while interface is downBen Hutchings2010-12-101-1/+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.
