2021-04-07usbnet: add _mii suffix to usbnet_set/get_link_ksettingsOliver Neukum1-2/+2
The generic functions assumed devices provided an MDIO interface (accessed via older mii code, not phylib). This is true only for genuine ethernet. Devices with a higher level of abstraction or based on different technologies do not have MDIO. To support this case, first rename the existing functions with _mii suffix. v2: rebased on changed upstream v3: changed names to clearly say that this does NOT use phylib v4: moved hunks to correct patch; reworded commmit messages Signed-off-by : Oliver Neukum <oneukum@suse.com> Tested-by: Roland Dreier <roland@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> Tested-by: Grant Grundler <grundler@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-04-04net: usbnet: support 64bit statsGreg Ungerer1-0/+1
Add support for the net stats64 counters to the usbnet core. With that in place put the hooks into every usbnet driver to use it. This is a strait forward addition of 64bit counters for RX and TX packet and byte counts. It is done in the same style as for the other net drivers that support stats64. Note that the other stats fields remain as 32bit sized values (error counts, etc). The motivation to add this is that it is not particularly difficult to get the RX and TX byte counts to wrap on 32bit platforms.

2013-05-09sierra_net: keep status interrupt URB activeDan Williams1-7/+31
The driver and firmware sync up through SYNC messages, and the firmware's affirmative reply to these SYNC messages appears to be the "Reset" indication received via the status interrupt endpoint. Thus the driver needs the status interrupt endpoint always active so that the Reset indication can be received even if the netdev is closed, which is the case right after device insertion. If the Reset indication is not received by the driver, it continues sending SYNC messages to the firmware, which crashes about 10 seconds later and the device stops responding.

2012-05-19USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices.Sarah Sharp1-0/+1
Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices. Comms devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished. Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state, using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their data transfer. If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of receiving data. Worse, some devices might blindly accept the hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the middle of receiving a transmission. The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host. In order to keep the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the same in Linux. Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications drivers. I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

2010-04-28net/usb: add sierra_net.c driverElina Pasheva1-0/+1001
Re-submitted based on comments from netdev community. Summary of the changes: 1. Improved error handling. 2. Added the missing timeout arguments to usb_control_msg(). The following is a new Linux driver which exposes certain models of Sierra Wireless modems to the operating system as Network Interface Cards (NICs). This driver requires a version of the sierra.c driver which supports blacklisting to work properly. The blacklist in sierra.c rejects the interfaces claimed by sierra_net.c. Likewise, the sierra_net.c driver only accepts (i.e. whitelists) the interface(s) used for USB-to-WWAN traffic. The version of sierra.c which supports blacklisting is available from the sierra wireless knowledge base page for older kernels. It is also available in Linux kernel starting from version 2.6.31. This driver works with all Sierra Wireless devices configured with PID=68A3 like USB305, USB306 provided the corresponding firmware version is I2.0 (for USB305) or M3.0 (for USB306) and later. This driver will not work with earlier firmware versions than the ones shown above. In this case the driver will issue an error message indicating incompatibility and will not serve the device's USB-to-WWAN interface. Sierra_net.c sits atop a pre-existing Linux driver called usbnet.c. A series of hook functions are provided in sierra_net.c which are called by usbnet.c in response to a particular condition such as receipt or transmission of a data packet. As such, usbnet.c does most of the work of making a modem appear to the system as a network device and for properly exchanging traffic between the USB subsystem and the Network card interface. Sierra_net.c is concerned with managing the data exchanged between the USB-to-WWAN interface and the upper layers of the operating system.
