drivers: net: generalize napi_complete_done()

2017-01-30T20:10:42+00:00

napi_complete_done() allows to opt-in for gro_flush_timeout, added back in linux-3.19, commit 3b47d30396ba ("net: gro: add a per device gro flush timer") This allows for more efficient GRO aggregation without sacrifying latencies. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: arc_emac: add dependencies on associated arches and compile test

2016-11-29T23:57:36+00:00

Add dependencies on the architectures that support these devices and add compile test to ensure ongoing code build coverage. Signed-off-by: Peter Robinson Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

All conflicts were simple overlapping changes except perhaps for the Thunder driver. That driver has a change_mtu method explicitly for sending a message to the hardware. If that fails it returns an error. Normally a driver doesn't need an ndo_change_mtu method becuase those are usually just range changes, which are now handled generically. But since this extra operation is needed in the Thunder driver, it has to stay. However, if the message send fails we have to restore the original MTU before the change because the entire call chain expects that if an error is thrown by ndo_change_mtu then the MTU did not change. Therefore code is added to nicvf_change_mtu to remember the original MTU, and to restore it upon nicvf_update_hw_max_frs() failue. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: arc_emac: don't pass multicast packets to kernel in non-multicast mode

2016-11-16T00:58:13+00:00

The patch disable capturing multicast packets when multicast mode disabled for ethernet ('ifconfig eth0 -multicast'). In that case no multicast packet will be passed to kernel. Signed-off-by: Alexander Kochetkov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: arc_emac: annonce IFF_MULTICAST support

2016-11-16T00:58:13+00:00

Multicast support was implemented by commit 775dd682e2b0ec7 ('arc_emac: implement promiscuous mode and multicast filtering'). It can be enabled explicity using 'ifconfig eth0 multicast'. The patch is needed in order to remove explicit configuration as most devices has multicast mode enabled by default. Signed-off-by: Alexander Kochetkov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: arc_emac: use dev_kfree_skb_any instead of dev_kfree_skb

2016-10-19T19:16:24+00:00

Replace dev_kfree_skb with dev_kfree_skb_any in arc_emac_tx() which can be called from hard irq context (netpoll) and from other contexts. arc_emac_tx() only frees skbs that it has dropped. This is detected by Coccinelle semantic patch. Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: arc_emac: mark arc_mdio_reset() static

2016-09-06T22:58:59+00:00

We get 1 warning when building kernel with W=1: drivers/net/ethernet/arc/emac_mdio.c:107:5: warning: no previous prototype for 'arc_mdio_reset' [-Wmissing-prototypes] In fact, this function is only used in the file in which it is declared and don't need a declaration, but can be made static. so this patch marks this function with 'static'.

net: arc_emac: add missing of_node_put() in arc_emac_probe()

2016-08-06T04:07:38+00:00

commit a94efbd7cc45 ("ethernet: arc: emac_main: add missing of_node_put after calling of_parse_phandle") added missing of_node_put after calling of_parse_phandle, but missing the devm_ioremap_resource() error handling case.

ethernet: arc: emac_main: add missing of_node_put after calling of_parse_phandle

2016-08-02T04:43:47+00:00

of_node_put needs to be called when the device node which is got from of_parse_phandle has finished using. Signed-off-by: Peter Chen Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: arc: emac: use phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings

2016-07-04T22:59:52+00:00

There are two generics functions phy_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings, so we can use them instead of defining the same code in the driver. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
