2010-02-26Revert "ethtool: Add n-tuple string length to drvinfo and return it"David S. Miller
This reverts commit c79c5ffdce14abb4de3878c5aa8c3c6e5093c69b. As Jeff points out we can't break the user visible interface like this, we need to add this into the reserved[] thing. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2010-02-26ethtool: Add n-tuple string length to drvinfo and return itPeter Waskiewicz
The drvinfo struct should include the number of strings that get_rx_ntuple will return. It will be variable if an underlying driver implements its own get_rx_ntuple routine, so userspace needs to know how much data is coming.

2010-02-11ethtool: Introduce n-tuple filter programming supportPeter P Waskiewicz Jr
This patchset enables the ethtool layer to program n-tuple filters to an underlying device. The idea is to allow capable hardware to have static rules applied that can assist steering flows into appropriate queues. Hardware that is known to support these types of filters today are ixgbe and niu.

2009-10-07ethtool: Add reset operationBen Hutchings
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately. This should not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive. A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics. This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the components to be reset. Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of those requested, and must indicate the actual subset. This allows the use of generic component masks and some future expansion.

2009-09-03net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image ↵Ajit Khaparde
from a specified file. This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.

Introduce the speed_hi field to ethtool_cmd, using the reserved space, to expand the speed field to 2^32 Megabits/second.

2005-10-28[IPv4/IPv6]: UFO Scatter-gather approachAnanda Raju
Attached is kernel patch for UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) feature. 1. This patch incorporate the review comments by Jeff Garzik. 2. Renamed USO as UFO (UDP Fragmentation Offload) 3. udp sendfile support with UFO This patches uses scatter-gather feature of skb to generate large UDP datagram. Below is a "how-to" on changes required in network device driver to use the UFO interface. UDP Fragmentation Offload (UFO) Interface: ------------------------------------------- UFO is a feature wherein the Linux kernel network stack will offload the IP fragmentation functionality of large UDP datagram to hardware. This will reduce the overhead of stack in fragmenting the large UDP datagram to MTU sized packets 1) Drivers indicate their capability of UFO using dev->features |= NETIF_F_UFO | NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is required for UFO over ipv6. 2) UFO packet will be submitted for transmission using driver xmit routine. UFO packet will have a non-zero value for "skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size" skb_shinfo(skb)->ufo_size will indicate the length of data part in each IP fragment going out of the adapter after IP fragmentation by hardware. skb->data will contain MAC/IP/UDP header and skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] contains the data payload. The skb->ip_summed will be set to CHECKSUM_HW indicating that hardware has to do checksum calculation. Hardware should compute the UDP checksum of complete datagram and also ip header checksum of each fragmented IP packet. For IPV6 the UFO provides the fragment identification-id in skb_shinfo(skb)->ip6_frag_id. The adapter should use this ID for generating IPv6 fragments.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
