* net: provide a default dev->ethtool_opsEric Dumazet2012-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.Richard Cochran2012-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* v2 ethtool: remove support for ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLEAlexander Duyck2011-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the fact that multiple issues have been found including: - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed. - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined. - Endianess wrong on displayed values. - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am submitting this patch to remove it. v2: Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id. Compile tested only.

| * | ethtool: Change ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID implementation to allow dropping RTNLBen Hutchings2011-04-05
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

This functionality is configurable per device using ethtool. Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case the no cache copy is probably not beneficial. This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with 1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86. No-cache copy disabled: 672703 tps, 97.13% utilization 50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41 No-cache copy enabled: 702113 tps, 96.16% utilization, 50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955 Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the effects more dramatically: No-cache copy disabled: 79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization 50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76 No-cache copy enabled: 83856 tps, 34.81% utilization 50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88 Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile). This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

* net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return valueStanislaw Gruszka2011-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Mirosław2011-03-22
| | | | | | | | | 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: __ethtool_set_sg: check for function pointer before using itRoger Luethi2011-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | __ethtool_set_sg does not check if dev->ethtool_ops->set_sg is defined which can result in a NULL pointer dereference when ethtool is used to change SG settings for drivers without SG support.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
