net: added support for 40GbE link.

2012-06-27T22:42:24+00:00

1. removed code replication for tov calculation for 1G, 10G and made is common for speed > 1G (1G, 10G, 40G, 100G). 2. defines values for #4 different 40G Phys (KR4, LF4, SR4, CR4) Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

linux/ethtool: Added macro ETH_FW_DUMP_DISABLE

2012-05-15T17:13:33+00:00

o flag field of ethtool_dump structure must be initialized by this macro value that is zero, if the firmware dump is disabled. by this we can get the firmware dump capability [enable/disable] via ethtool Signed-off-by: Manish chopra Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Extend the ethtool API to obtain plugin module eeprom data

2012-05-10T01:22:17+00:00

ETHTOOL_GMODULEINFO returns a new struct ethtool_modinfo that will return the type and size of plug-in module eeprom (such as SFP+) for parsing by userland program. ETHTOOL_GMODULEEEPROM returns the raw eeprom information using the existing ethtool_eeprom structture to return the data Signed-off-by: Stuart Hodgson Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

ethtool: Remove exception to the requirement of holding RTNL lock

Commit e52ac3398c3d772d372b9b62ab408fd5eec96840 ('net: Use device model to get driver name in skb_gso_segment()') removed the only in-tree caller of ethtool ops that doesn't hold the RTNL lock. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Add a common function for drivers with transmit time stamping.

2012-04-04T09:28:46+00:00

Currently, most drivers do not support transmit SO_TIMESTAMPING. For those that do support it, there is one appropriate response to the get_ts_info query. This patch adds a common function providing this response. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.

2012-04-04T09:28:45+00:00

This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device associated with the interface. Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY drivers lack special time stamping features.

Add comments for ethtool_cmd::phy_address and ethtool_cmd::mdio_support, and definitions of the flags currently used in mdio_support. In the mdio library, assert that its own flags continue to match those in the ethtool interface. In the mii library, use the ethtool flag definition and stop including .
