net: ixp4xx_eth: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()

2025-05-13T01:10:24Z

New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is time to convert the intel ixp4xx ethernet driver to the new API, so that the ndo_eth_ioctl() path can be removed completely. hwtstamp_get() and hwtstamp_set() are only called if netif_running() when the code path is engaged through the legacy ioctl. As I don't want to make an unnecessary functional change which I can't test, preserve that restriction when going through the new operations. When cpu_is_ixp46x() is false, the execution of SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP falls through to phy_mii_ioctl(), which may process it in case of a timestamping PHY, or may return -EOPNOTSUPP. In the new API, the core handles timestamping PHYs directly and does not call the netdev driver, so just return -EOPNOTSUPP directly for equivalent logic. A gratuitous change I chose to do anyway is prefixing hwtstamp_get() and hwtstamp_set() with the driver name, ipx4xx. This reflects modern coding sensibilities, and we are touching the involved lines anyway. The remainder of eth_ioctl() is exactly equivalent to phy_do_ioctl_running(), so use that.

net: ethernet: Switch back to struct platform_driver::remove()

2024-10-04T23:39:56Z

After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove() return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for platform drivers. Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net/ethernet to use .remove(), with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As .remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

ixp4xx_eth: Remove setting of RX software timestamp

2024-09-10T00:44:42Z

The responsibility for reporting of RX software timestamp has moved to the core layer (see __ethtool_get_ts_info()), remove usage from the device drivers.

net: Add struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info

2024-07-15T15:02:26Z

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct hwtstamp_config. Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h. The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

net: annotate writes on dev->mtu from ndo_change_mtu()

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev->mtu, new_mtu) as hinted in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small mtu values.") We read dev->mtu without holding RTNL in many places, with READ_ONCE() annotations.

netdev: replace napi_reschedule with napi_schedule

2023-10-12T00:28:06Z

Now that napi_schedule return a bool, we can drop napi_reschedule that does the same exact function. The function comes from a very old commit bfe13f54f502 ("ibm_emac: Convert to use napi_struct independent of struct net_device") and the purpose is actually deprecated in favour of different logic. Convert every user of napi_reschedule to napi_schedule.

net: ethernet: xscale: Convert to platform remove callback returning void

2023-09-20T08:06:41Z

The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks. To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to .remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove(). Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove callback to the void returning variant. Signed-off-by: Uwe Kleine-König Acked-by: Krzysztof Hałasa Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
