net: add a common function to compute features for upper devices

2026-03-25T10:08:28+00:00

[ Upstream commit 28098defc79fe7d29e6bfe4eb6312991f6bdc3d3 ] Some high level software drivers need to compute features from lower devices. But each has their own implementations and may lost some feature compute. Let's use one common function to compute features for kinds of these devices. The new helper uses the current bond implementation as the reference one, as the latter already handles all the relevant aspects: netdev features, TSO limits and dst retention.

net, team, bonding: Add netdev_base_features helper

2024-12-19T17:13:19+00:00

[ Upstream commit d2516c3a53705f783bb6868df0f4a2b977898a71 ] Both bonding and team driver have logic to derive the base feature flags before iterating over their slave devices to refine the set via netdev_increment_features(). Add a small helper netdev_base_features() so this can be reused instead of having it open-coded multiple times.

netdev_features: remove NETIF_F_ALL_FCOE

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

NETIF_F_ALL_FCOE is used only in vlan_dev.c, 2 times. Now that it's only 2 bits, open-code it and remove the definition from netdev_features.h. Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_FCOE_MTU to dev->fcoe_mtu

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

Ability to handle maximum FCoE frames of 2158 bytes can never be changed and thus more of an attribute, not a toggleable feature. Move it from netdev_features_t to "cold" priv flags (bitfield bool) and free yet another feature bit. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL to dev->netns_local

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

"Interface can't change network namespaces" is rather an attribute, not a feature, and it can't be changed via Ethtool. Make it a "cold" private flag instead of a netdev_feature and free one more bit. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_LLTX to dev->lltx

2024-09-03T09:36:43+00:00

NETIF_F_LLTX can't be changed via Ethtool and is not a feature, rather an attribute, very similar to IFF_NO_QUEUE (and hot). Free one netdev_features_t bit and make it a "hot" private flag. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni

net: Fix features skip in for_each_netdev_feature()

2022-05-06T01:25:57+00:00

The find_next_netdev_feature() macro gets the "remaining length", not bit index. Passing "bit - 1" for the following iteration is wrong as it skips the adjacent bit. Pass "bit" instead.

net: hsr: add offloading support

2021-02-11T21:24:44+00:00

Add support for offloading of HSR/PRP (IEC 62439-3) tag insertion tag removal, duplicate generation and forwarding. For HSR, insertion involves the switch adding a 6 byte HSR header after the 14 byte Ethernet header. For PRP it adds a 6 byte trailer. Tag removal involves automatically stripping the HSR/PRP header/trailer in the switch. This is possible when the switch also performs auto deduplication using the HSR/PRP header/trailer (making it no longer required). Forwarding involves automatically forwarding between redundant ports in an HSR. This is crucial because delay is accumulated as a frame passes through each node in the ring. Duplication involves the switch automatically sending a single frame from the CPU port to both redundant ports. This is required because the inserted HSR/PRP header/trailer must contain the same sequence number on the frames sent out both redundant ports. Export is_hsr_master so DSA can tell them apart from other devices in dsa_slave_changeupper. Signed-off-by: George McCollister Reviewed-by: Vladimir Oltean Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
