net/{mii, smsc}: Make mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings and smc_netdev_get_ecmd return void

2017-06-05T15:00:42Z

Make return value void since functions never returns meaningfull value. Signed-off-by: Yuval Shaia Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: mii: report 0 for unknown lp_advertising

2016-11-10T01:26:58Z

The newly introduced mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings function sets lp_advertising to an uninitialized value when BMCR_ANENABLE is not set: drivers/net/mii.c: In function 'mii_ethtool_get_link_ksettings': drivers/net/mii.c:224:2: error: 'lp_advertising' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] As documented in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, the value is expected to be zero when we don't know it, so let's initialize it to that.

net: mii: add generic function to support ksetting support

2016-11-02T19:17:09Z

The old ethtool api (get_setting and set_setting) has generic mii functions mii_ethtool_sset and mii_ethtool_gset. To support the new ethtool api ({get|set}_link_ksettings), we add two generics mii function mii_ethtool_{get|set}_link_ksettings_get. Signed-off-by: Philippe Reynes Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mii: Handle link state changes for forced modes in mii_check_media()

2015-01-19T20:43:42Z

mii_check_media() does not update the link (carrier) state or log link changes when the link mode is forced. Drivers using the mii library must do this themselves, but most of them do not. Instead of changing them all, provide a sensible default behaviour similar to mii_check_link() when the mode is forced. via-rhine depends on it being a no-op in this case, so make its call to mii_check_media() conditional.

ethtool, mdio, mii: Specify MDIO information fields in struct ethtool_cmd

2012-03-01T21:41:26Z

Add comments for ethtool_cmd::phy_address and ethtool_cmd::mdio_support, and definitions of the flags currently used in mdio_support. In the mdio library, assert that its own flags continue to match those in the ethtool interface. In the mii library, use the ethtool flag definition and stop including .

net: Change mii to ethtool advertisement function names

2011-11-21T20:27:19Z

This patch implements advice by Ben Hutchings to change the mii side of the function names to look more like the register whose values they convert. New LPA translation functions have been added as well. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: Add ethtool to mii advertisment conversion helpers

2011-11-16T23:36:59Z

Translating between ethtool advertisement settings and MII advertisements are common operations for ethernet drivers. This patch adds a set of helper functions that implements the conversion. The patch then modifies a couple of the drivers to use the new functions. Signed-off-by: Matt Carlson Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API

2011-04-29T21:03:01Z

This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed() instead. For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each ethtool operation. All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been updated. Tested: make allyesconfig on x86_64 + e1000e/bnx2x work Signed-off-by: David Decotigny Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: Use full 32 bit speed range in ethtool's set_settings

2011-04-29T21:03:00Z

This makes sure the ethtool's set_settings() callback of network drivers don't ignore the 16 most significant bits when ethtool calls their set_settings(). All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig on x86_64 have been updated. Signed-off-by: David Decotigny Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
