ethtool: Report link-down while interface is down

2014-06-18T22:25:56Z

While an interface is down, many implementations of ethtool_ops::get_link, including the default, ethtool_op_get_link(), will report the last link state seen while the interface was up. In general the current physical link state is not available if the interface is down. Define ETHTOOL_GLINK to reflect whether the interface *and* any physical port have a working link, and consistently return 0 when the interface is down.

ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFH

2010-08-02T17:21:06Z

commit bf988435bd5b53529f4408a8efb1f433f6ddfda9 upstream. struct ethtool_rxnfc was originally defined in 2.6.27 for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH command with only the cmd, flow_type and data fields. It was then extended in 2.6.30 to support various additional commands. These commands should have been defined to use a new structure, but it is too late to change that now. Since user-space may still be using the old structure definition for the ETHTOOL_{G,S}RXFH commands, and since they do not need the additional fields, only copy the originally defined fields to and from user-space.

net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file.

2009-09-03T06:07:39Z

This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool. The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image using the request firmware path. The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option. It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool, to the region to be flashed. The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip. Signed-off-by: Ajit Khaparde Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

e1000e: Expose MDI-X status via ethtool change

2009-06-09T12:25:36Z

Ethtool is a standard way of getting information about ethernet interfaces. We enhance ethtool kernel interface & e1000e to make the MDI-X status readable via ethtool in userspace. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Lala Signed-off-by: Arthur Jones Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Add port type PORT_OTHER

2009-04-30T00:32:27Z

Add a PORT_OTHER to represent all other physical port types. Current NICs generally do not allow switching between multiple port types in software so specific types should not be needed. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Add GGRO and SGRO ops

2008-12-16T07:44:31Z

This patch adds the ethtool ops to enable and disable GRO. It also makes GRO depend on RX checksum offload much the same as how TSO depends on SG support. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
