* ibmveth: set correct gso_size and gso_typeThomas Falcon2016-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch is based on an earlier one submitted by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message: "We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly. We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large, it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer was completely empty." We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS. Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer. This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor.

* ibmveth: add support for TSO6Thomas Falcon2015-07-16
| | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for a new method of signalling the firmware that TSO packets are being sent. The new method removes the need to alter the ip and tcp checksums and allows TSO6 support. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon <tlfalcon@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* ibmveth: Add support for Large Receive OffloadThomas Falcon2015-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | Enables receiving large packets from other LPARs. These packets have a -1 IP header checksum, so we must recalculate to have a valid checksum.

* ibmveth: Add support for TSOThomas Falcon2015-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Add support for TSO. TSO is turned off by default and must be enabled and configured by the user. The driver version number is increased so that users can be sure that they are using ibmveth with TSO support.

* ibmveth: change rx buffer default allocation for CMOThomas Falcon2015-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | This patch enables 64k rx buffer pools by default. If Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) is enabled, the number of 64k buffers is reduced to save memory.

* ibmveth: Fix endian issues with MAC addressesAnton Blanchard2014-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to load a MAC address into a u64 for passing to the hypervisor via a register is broken on little endian. Create a helper function called ibmveth_encode_mac_addr which does the right thing in both big and little endian. We were storing the MAC address in a long in struct ibmveth_adapter. It's never used so remove it - we don't need another place in the driver where we create endian issues with MAC addresses.

* ethernet: Fix FSF address in file headersJeff Kirsher2013-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several files refer to an old address for the Free Software Foundation in the file header comment. Resolve by replacing the address with the URL <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/> so that we do not have to keep updating the header comments anytime the address changes.

* ehea/ibm*: Move the IBM driversJeff Kirsher2011-08-11
Move the IBM drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/ibm/ and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. - Renamed ibm_new_emac to emac - Cleaned up Makefile and Kconfig options which referred to IBM_NEW_EMAC to IBM_EMAC - ibmlana driver is a National Semiconductor SONIC driver so it was not moved CC: Christoph Raisch <raisch@de.ibm.com> CC: Santiago Leon <santil@linux.vnet.ibm.com> CC: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> CC: David Gibson <dwg@au1.ibm.com> CC: Kyle Lucke <klucke@us.ibm.com> CC: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>
