net: ethtool: don't ignore return from driver get_fecparam method

2018-03-02T02:41:06+00:00

If ethtool_ops->get_fecparam returns an error, pass that error on to the
 user, rather than ignoring it.

bitmap: replace bitmap_{from,to}_u32array

2018-02-07T02:32:44+00:00

with bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 over the kernel. Additionally to it:
* __check_eq_bitmap() now takes single nbits argument.
* __check_eq_u32_array is not used in new test but may be used in
  future. So I don't remove it here, but annotate as __used.

Tested on arm64 and 32-bit BE mips.

ethtool: Ensure new ring parameters are within bounds during SRINGPARAM

2018-01-09T16:54:49+00:00

Add a sanity check to ensure that all requested ring parameters
are within bounds, which should reduce errors in driver implementation.

ethtool: do not print warning for applications using legacy API

2018-01-03T02:49:17+00:00

In kernel log ths message appears on every boot:
 "warning: `NetworkChangeNo' uses legacy ethtool link settings API,
  link modes are only partially reported"

When ethtool link settings API changed, it started complaining about
usages of old API. Ironically, the original patch was from google but
the application using the legacy API is chrome.

Linux ABI is fixed as much as possible. The kernel must not break it
and should not complain about applications using legacy API's.
This patch just removes the warning since using legacy API's
in Linux is perfectly acceptable.

net: Introduce NETIF_F_GRO_HW.

2017-12-19T15:38:36+00:00

Introduce NETIF_F_GRO_HW feature flag for NICs that support hardware
GRO.  With this flag, we can now independently turn on or off hardware
GRO when GRO is on.  Previously, drivers were using NETIF_F_GRO to
control hardware GRO and so it cannot be independently turned on or
off without affecting GRO.

Hardware GRO (just like GRO) guarantees that packets can be re-segmented
by TSO/GSO to reconstruct the original packet stream.  Logically,
GRO_HW should depend on GRO since it a subset, but we will let
individual drivers enforce this dependency as they see fit.

Since NETIF_F_GRO is not propagated between upper and lower devices,
NETIF_F_GRO_HW should follow suit since it is a subset of GRO.  In other
words, a lower device can independent have GRO/GRO_HW enabled or disabled
and no feature propagation is required.  This will preserve the current
GRO behavior.  This can be changed later if we decide to propagate GRO/
GRO_HW/RXCSUM from upper to lower devices.

There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here.

Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions,
along with the added allowances for "data_end > ptr + x" forms
collided with the metadata additions.

Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in
their final form I tried to group together properly.  If I had just
trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the
meta tests unnecessarily.

In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes
overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to
bpf_compute_data_pointers().

Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method
which got removed in net-next.

The hyperv transport socket layer had a locking change in 'net'
which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage
in 'net-next'.

net: ethtool: remove error check for legacy setting transceiver type

2017-10-22T01:14:18+00:00

Commit 9cab88726929605 ("net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type")
restores the transceiver type to struct ethtool_link_settings and
convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() but forgets to remove the
error check for the same in convert_legacy_settings_to_link_ksettings().
This prevents older versions of ethtool to change link settings.

    # ethtool --version
    ethtool version 3.16

    # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full
    Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
      not setting speed
      not setting duplex
      not setting autoneg

While newer versions of ethtool works.

    # ethtool --version
    ethtool version 4.10

    # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full

ethtool: add ethtool_intersect_link_masks

2017-10-17T17:48:51+00:00

This function provides a way to intersect two link masks together to
find the common ground between them.  For example in i40e, the driver
first generates link masks for what is supported by the PHY type.  The
driver then gets the link masks for what the NVM supports.  The
resulting intersection between them yields what can truly be supported.

net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type

2017-09-21T22:20:40+00:00

Commit 3f1ac7a700d0 ("net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API")
deprecated the ethtool_cmd::transceiver field, which was fine in
premise, except that the PHY library was actually using it to report the
type of transceiver: internal or external.

Use the first word of the reserved field to put this __u8 transceiver
field back in. It is made read-only, and we don't expect the
ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API to be doing anything with this anyway, so this
is mostly for the legacy path where we do:

ethtool_get_settings()
-> dev->ethtool_ops->get_link_ksettings()
   -> convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings()

to have no information loss compared to the legacy get_settings API.
