net: sungem: fix rx checksum support

2018-07-22T12:25:52+00:00

[ Upstream commit 12b03558cef6d655d0d394f5e98a6fd07c1f6c0f ] After commit 88078d98d1bb ("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends"), sungem owners reported the infamous "eth0: hw csum failure" message. CHECKSUM_COMPLETE has in fact never worked for this driver, but this was masked by the fact that upper stacks had to strip the FCS, and therefore skb->ip_summed was set back to CHECKSUM_NONE before my recent change. Driver configures a number of bytes to skip when the chip computes the checksum, and for some reason only half of the Ethernet header was skipped. Then a second problem is that we should strip the FCS by default, unless the driver is updated to eventually support NETIF_F_RXFCS in the future. Finally, a driver should check if NETIF_F_RXCSUM feature is enabled or not, so that the admin can turn off rx checksum if wanted. Many thanks to Andreas Schwab and Mathieu Malaterre for their help in debugging this issue.

sunvnet: does not support GSO for sctp

2018-05-30T05:49:05+00:00

[ Upstream commit cf55612a945039476abfd73e39064b2e721c3272 ] The NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE implies support for GSO on SCTP, but the sunvnet driver does not support GSO for sctp. Here we remove the NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE feature flag and only report NETIF_F_ALL_TSO instead. Signed-off-by: Cathy Zhou Signed-off-by: Shannon Nelson Signed-off-by: David S.

net: ethernet: sun: niu set correct packet size in skb

2018-05-26T06:48:46+00:00

[ Upstream commit 14224923c3600bae2ac4dcae3bf0c3d4dc2812be ] Currently, skb->len and skb->data_len are set to the page size, not the packet size. This causes the frame check sequence to not be located at the "end" of the packet resulting in ethernet frame check errors. The driver does work currently, but stricter kernel facing networking solutions like OpenVSwitch will drop these packets as invalid. These changes set the packet size correctly so that these errors no longer occur. The length does not include the frame check sequence, so that subtraction was removed. Tested on Oracle/SUN Multithreaded 10-Gigabit Ethernet Network Controller [108e:abcd] and validated in wireshark. Signed-off-by: Rob Taglang Signed-off-by: David S.

drivers/net: get rid of unnecessary initializations in .get_drvinfo()

2015-10-16T07:24:10+00:00

Many drivers initialize uselessly n_priv_flags, n_stats, testinfo_len, eedump_len & regdump_len fields in their .get_drvinfo() ethtool op. It's not necessary as these fields is filled in ethtool_get_drvinfo(). v2: removed unused variable v3: removed another unused variable Signed-off-by: Ivan Vecera Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35+00:00

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
