2014-05-19ethtool: Improve explanation of the two arrays following struct ethtool_rxfhBen Hutchings1-8/+9
The use of two variable-length arrays is unusual so deserves a bit more explanation. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
2014-05-19ethtool: Name the 'no change' value for setting RSS hash key but not indir tableBen Hutchings1-5/+7
We usually allocate special values of u32 fields starting from the top down, so also change the value to 0xffffffff. As these operations haven't been included in a stable release yet, it's not too late to change. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk>
2014-04-23ethtool: Support for configurable RSS hash keyVenkata Duvvuru1-0/+32
This ethtool patch primarily copies the ioctl command data structures from/to the User space and invokes the driver hook. Signed-off-by: Venkat Duvvuru <VenkatKumar.Duvvuru@Emulex.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-13ethtool: Fix unwanted section breaks in kernel-docBen Hutchings1-7/+9
A colon almost unavoidably starts a new section. The script should be changed to provide a way to avoid this, but for now reword the comments to avoid using colons. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2014-02-13ethtool: Move kernel-doc comment next to struct ethtool_dump definitionBen Hutchings1-3/+2
The kernel-doc script does not tolerate the macro definition in between. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2014-02-13ethtool: Update documentation of struct ethtool_pauseparamBen Hutchings1-13/+23
Convert the inline comments to kernel-doc format. Explicitly specify that non-zero autoneg is an error if link autonegotiation is disabled. Specify that pause capabilities should be advertised dependent on link autonegotiation, not the autoneg flag here. There is no way to opt-out of pause frame autonegotiation, and this improves behaviour when the link partner is configured to follow pause frame autonegotiation and our interface is not.

2014-02-13ethtool: Expand documentation of struct ethtool_drvinfoBen Hutchings1-17/+39
Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full explanation of the semantics, in kernel-doc format. Specify which strings may be empty. Document the relationship with other commands. Replace the 'deprecation' of some fields with a proper explanation of the conversion to generalised string sets, as userland programs may not be able to assume that ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO is available.

2014-02-13ethtool: Expand documentation of struct ethtool_cmdBen Hutchings1-34/+90
struct ethtool_cmd has very limited documentation; it contains several obscure or obsolete fields and several with non-obvious interpretation. Replace the inline comments (and some others below) with a full explanation of the semantics as well as I understand them, in kernel-doc format. Formally deprecate some fields that seem to be of historical use only. Extend the comment about 32/64-bit compatibility to cover all ethtool structures.

2013-05-28net: ethtool: disambiguate XCVR_* meaningFlorian Fainelli1-2/+2
Add a comment which explains the real meaning of XCVR_INTERNAL (PHY and Ethernet MAC in the same package/die) and XCVR_EXTERNAL (PHY and Ethernet MAC in a different package/die). Most if not all of the drivers setting their transceiver type already do it the way the comment describes it.

2012-12-12net: ethtool: Add destination MAC address to flow steering APIYan Burman1-4/+7
Add ability to specify destination MAC address for L3/L4 flow spec in order to be able to specify action for different VM's under vSwitch configuration. This change is transparent to older userspace.
