net/core: Replace driver version to be kernel version

2020-01-27T12:47:22+00:00

In order to stop useless driver version bumps and unify output presented by ethtool -i, let's set default version string. As Linus said in [1]: "Things are supposed to be backwards and forwards compatible, because we don't accept breakage in user space anyway. So versioning is pointless, and only causes problems." They cause problems when users start to see version changes and expect specific set of features which will be different for stable@, vanilla and distribution kernels. Distribution kernels are based on some kernel version with extra patches on top, for example, in RedHat world this "extra" is a lot and for them your driver version say nothing. Users who run vanilla kernels won't use driver version information too, because running such kernels requires knowledge and understanding. Another set of problems are related to difference in versioning scheme and such doesn't allow to write meaningful automation which will work sanely on all ethtool capable devices. Before this change: [leonro@erver ~]$ ethtool -i eth0 driver: virtio_net version: 1.0.0 After this change and once ->version assignment will be deleted from virtio_net: [leonro@server ~]$ ethtool -i eth0 driver: virtio_net version: 5.5.0-rc6+ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/ksummit-discuss/CA+55aFx9A=5cc0QZ7CySC4F2K7eYaEfzkdYEc9JaNgCcV25=rg@mail.gmail.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/20200122152627.14903-1-michal.kalderon@marvell.com/T/#md460ff8f976c532a89d6860411c3c50bb811038b Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-rdma/20200127060835.GA570@unicorn.suse.cz Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky Acked-by: Shannon Nelson Signed-off-by: David S.

ethtool: add WOL_NTF notification

2020-01-27T10:31:36+00:00

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_NTF notification whenever wake-on-lan settings of a device are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_SET netlink message or ETHTOOL_SWOL ioctl request. As notifications can be received by anyone, do not include SecureOn(tm) password in notification messages. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: set wake-on-lan settings with WOL_SET request

2020-01-27T10:31:36+00:00

Implement WOL_SET netlink request to set wake-on-lan settings. This is equivalent to ETHTOOL_SWOL ioctl request. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: provide WoL settings with WOL_GET request

2020-01-27T10:31:36+00:00

Implement WOL_GET request to get wake-on-lan settings for a device, traditionally available via ETHTOOL_GWOL ioctl request. As part of the implementation, provide symbolic names for wake-on-line modes as ETH_SS_WOL_MODES string set. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: add DEBUG_NTF notification

2020-01-27T10:31:36+00:00

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_NTF notification message whenever debugging message mask for a device are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_SET netlink message or ETHTOOL_SMSGLVL ioctl request. The notification message has the same format as reply to DEBUG_GET request. As with other ethtool notifications, netlink requests only trigger the notification if the mask is actually changed while ioctl request trigger it whenever the request results in calling the ethtool_ops handler.

ethtool: set message mask with DEBUG_SET request

2020-01-27T10:31:35+00:00

Implement DEBUG_SET netlink request to set debugging settings for a device. At the moment, only message mask corresponding to message level as set by ETHTOOL_SMSGLVL ioctl request can be set. (It is called message level in ioctl interface but almost all drivers interpret it as a bit mask.) Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: provide message mask with DEBUG_GET request

2020-01-27T10:31:35+00:00

Implement DEBUG_GET request to get debugging settings for a device. At the moment, only message mask corresponding to message level as reported by ETHTOOL_GMSGLVL ioctl request is provided. (It is called message level in ioctl interface but almost all drivers interpret it as a bit mask.) As part of the implementation, provide symbolic names for message mask bits as ETH_SS_MSG_CLASSES string set. Signed-off-by: Michal Kubecek Reviewed-by: Andrew Lunn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add fraglist GRO/GSO feature flags

This adds new Fraglist GRO/GSO feature flags. They will be used to configure fraglist GRO/GSO what will be implemented with some followup paches. Signed-off-by: Steffen Klassert Reviewed-by: Willem de Bruijn Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: potential NULL dereference in strset_prepare_data()

2020-01-09T00:03:35+00:00

Smatch complains that the NULL checking isn't done consistently: net/ethtool/strset.c:253 strset_prepare_data() error: we previously assumed 'dev' could be null (see line 233) It looks like there is a missing return on this path.
