ethtool: do not vzalloc(0) on registers dump

2017-02-03T16:13:00+00:00

If ->get_regs_len() callback return 0, we allocate 0 bytes of memory,
what print ugly warning in dmesg, which can be found further below.

This happen on mac80211 devices where ieee80211_get_regs_len() just
return 0 and driver only fills ethtool_regs structure and actually
do not provide any dump. However I assume this can happen on other
drivers i.e. when for some devices driver provide regs dump and for
others do not. Hence preventing to to print warning in ethtool code
seems to be reasonable.

net: ethtool: Initialize buffer when querying device channel settings

2017-01-18T19:58:23+00:00

Ethtool channels respond struct was uninitialized when querying device
channel boundaries settings. As a result, unreported fields by the driver
hold garbage.  This may cause sending unsupported params to driver.

udplite conflict is resolved by taking what 'net-next' did
which removed the backlog receive method assignment, since
it is no longer necessary.

Two entries were added to the non-priv ethtool operations
switch statement, one in 'net' and one in 'net-next, so
simple overlapping changes.

ethtool: Protect {get, set}_phy_tunable with PHY device mutex

2016-11-24T21:02:32+00:00

PHY drivers should be able to rely on the caller of {get,set}_tunable to
have acquired the PHY device mutex, in order to both serialize against
concurrent calls of these functions, but also against PHY state machine
changes. All ethtool PHY-level functions do this, except
{get,set}_tunable, so we make them consistent here as well.

We need to update the Microsemi PHY driver in the same commit to avoid
introducing either deadlocks, or lack of proper locking.

sctp: Add GSO support

2016-06-03T23:37:21+00:00

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to
(P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected.
So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation
point and deliver it to IP layer.

This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it
would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover
skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual
segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.

With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list,
trusting its sizes are already in accordance.

This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several
packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.

v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb->cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating
  single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
v3:
- consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen()
- rebased due to 5c7cdf339af5 ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for
  unsupported GSO")

net: define gso types for IPx over IPv4 and IPv6

2016-05-20T22:03:15+00:00

This patch defines two new GSO definitions SKB_GSO_IPXIP4 and
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 along with corresponding NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP4 and
NETIF_F_GSO_IPXIP6. These are used to described IP in IP
tunnel and what the outer protocol is. The inner protocol
can be deduced from other GSO types (e.g. SKB_GSO_TCPV4 and
SKB_GSO_TCPV6). The GSO types of SKB_GSO_IPIP and SKB_GSO_SIT
are removed (these are both instances of SKB_GSO_IPXIP4).
SKB_GSO_IPXIP6 will be used when support for GSO with IP
encapsulation over IPv6 is added.
