net: add sysfs attribute to control napi threaded mode

2021-02-09T23:27:28+00:00

This patch adds a new sysfs attribute to the network device class. Said attribute provides a per-device control to enable/disable the threaded mode for all the napi instances of the given network device, without the need for a device up/down. User sets it to 1 or 0 to enable or disable threaded mode. Note: when switching between threaded and the current softirq based mode for a napi instance, it will not immediately take effect if the napi is currently being polled. The mode switch will happen for the next time napi_schedule() is called.

docs: ABI: cleanup several ABI documents

2020-10-30T12:14:29+00:00

There are some ABI documents that, while they don't generate any warnings, they have issues when parsed by get_abi.pl script on its output result. Address them, in order to provide a clean output.

The sysfs field was introduced 4 years ago along with fixes to various drivers that erroneously used `dev_id' for that purpose, but it was not properly documented anywhere. See commit v3.14-rc3-739-g3f85944fe207. Signed-off-by: Arseny Maslennikov Signed-off-by: Doug Ledford

ethtool: drop get_settings and set_settings callbacks

2018-08-30T02:46:10+00:00

Since [gs]et_settings ethtool_ops callbacks have been deprecated in February 2016, all in tree NIC drivers have been converted to provide [gs]et_link_ksettings() and out of tree drivers have had enough time to do the same. Drop get_settings() and set_settings() and implement both ETHTOOL_[GS]SET and ETHTOOL_[GS]LINKSETTINGS only using [gs]et_link_ksettings(). Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S.
