net/ibm/emac: bump version numbers for correct work with ethtool

2015-09-29T05:22:50Z

The size of the MAC register dump used to be the size specified by the reg property in the device tree. Userland has no good way of finding out that size, and it was not specified consistently for each MAC type, so ethtool would end up printing junk at the end of the register dump if the device tree didn't match the size it assumed. Using the new version numbers indicates unambiguously that the size of the MAC register dump is dependent only on the MAC type.

ibmveth: add support for TSO6

2015-07-16T04:34:56Z

This patch adds support for a new method of signalling the firmware that TSO packets are being sent. The new method removes the need to alter the ip and tcp checksums and allows TSO6 support. Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

drivers/net: remove all references to obsolete Ethernet-HOWTO

2015-06-23T13:50:35Z

This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is no value in anyone else taking over updating it either. However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread. No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/ibm/emac: use swap() in emac_make_bootlist()

Conflicts: drivers/net/phy/amd-xgbe-phy.c drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/Kconfig include/net/mac80211.h iwlwifi/Kconfig and mac80211.h were both trivial overlapping changes. The drivers/net/phy/amd-xgbe-phy.c file got removed in 'net-next' and the bug fix that happened on the 'net' side is already integrated into the rest of the amd-xgbe driver. Signed-off-by: David S.

net/ibm/emac: fix size of emac dump memory areas

Fix in send of emac regs dump to ethtool which causing in wrong data interpretation on ethtool layer for MII and EMAC. Signed-off-by: Ivan Mikhaylov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ibmveth: Add support for Large Receive Offload

2015-04-30T20:33:46Z

Enables receiving large packets from other LPARs. These packets have a -1 IP header checksum, so we must recalculate to have a valid checksum. Signed-off-by: Brian King Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ibmveth: Add support for TSO

2015-04-30T20:33:45Z

Add support for TSO. TSO is turned off by default and must be enabled and configured by the user. The driver version number is increased so that users can be sure that they are using ibmveth with TSO support. Cc: Brian King Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ibmveth: change rx buffer default allocation for CMO

2015-04-30T20:33:45Z

This patch enables 64k rx buffer pools by default. If Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) is enabled, the number of 64k buffers is reduced to save memory. Cc: Brian King Signed-off-by: Thomas Falcon Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
