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

ethernet/ixp4xx: prevent allmulti from clobbering promisc

2015-02-20T20:49:07Z

If both promisc and allmulti are set, promisc should trump allmulti and disable the MAC filter; otherwise, the interface is not really promisc. Previously, this code checked IFF_ALLMULTI prior to and without regard for IFF_PROMISC; if both were set, only multicast and direct unicast traffic would make it through the filter.

net: ptp: move PTP classifier in its own file

2014-04-01T20:43:18Z

This commit fixes a build error reported by Fengguang, that is triggered when CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING is not set: ERROR: "ptp_classify_raw" [drivers/net/ethernet/oki-semi/pch_gbe/pch_gbe.ko] undefined! The fix is to introduce its own file for the PTP BPF classifier, so that PTP_1588_CLOCK and/or NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING can select it independently from each other. IXP4xx driver on ARM needs to select it as well since it does not seem to select PTP_1588_CLOCK or similar that would pull it in automatically. This also allows for hiding all of the internals of the BPF PTP program inside that file, and only exporting relevant API bits to drivers. This patch also adds a kdoc documentation of ptp_classify_raw() API to make it clear that it can return PTP_CLASS_* defines. Also, the BPF program has been translated into bpf_asm code, so that it can be more easily read and altered (extensively documented in [1]). In the kernel tree under tools/net/ we have bpf_asm and bpf_dbg tools, so the commented program can simply be translated via `./bpf_asm -c prog` where prog is a file that contains the commented code. This makes it easily readable/verifiable and when there's a need to change something, jump offsets etc do not need to be replaced manually which can be very error prone. Instead, a newly translated version via bpf_asm can simply replace the old code. I have checked opcode diffs before/after and it's the very same filter.

net: ptp: do not reimplement PTP/BPF classifier

2014-03-31T04:45:09Z

There are currently pch_gbe, cpts, and ixp4xx_eth drivers that open-code and reimplement a BPF classifier for the PTP protocol. Since all of them effectively do the very same thing and load the very same PTP/BPF filter, we can just consolidate that code by introducing ptp_classify_raw() in the time-stamping core framework which can be used in drivers. As drivers get initialized after bootstrapping the core networking subsystem, they can make use of ptp_insns wrapped through ptp_classify_raw(), which allows to simplify and remove PTP classifier setup code in drivers. Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: Richard Cochran Cc: Jiri Benc Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ixp4xx_eth: Validate hwtstamp_config completely before applying it

2013-11-14T21:22:10Z

hwtstamp_ioctl() should validate all fields of hwtstamp_config before making any changes. Currently it sets the TX configuration before validating the rx_filter field. Untested as I don't have a cross-compiler to hand. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ixp4xx_eth: use dev_get_platdata()

2013-08-30T21:43:39Z

Use the wrapper function for retrieving the platform data instead of accessing dev->platform_data directly. This is a cosmetic change to make the code simpler and enhance the readability. Signed-off-by: Jingoo Han Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethernet: remove unnecessary platform_set_drvdata()

2013-05-28T05:34:51Z

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or on probe failure, since commit 0998d0631001288a5974afc0b2a5f568bcdecb4d (device-core: Ensure drvdata = NULL when no driver is bound). Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device driver data to NULL.
