* net: Change netdev_fix_features messages loglevelMichał Mirosław2011-05-161-14/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | Those reduced to DEBUG can possibly be triggered by unprivileged processes and are nothing exceptional. Illegal checksum combinations can only be caused by driver bug, so promote those messages to WARN. Since GSO without SG will now only cause DEBUG message from netdev_fix_features(), remove the workaround from register_netdevice().

* net: Disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN when TSO is disabledBen Hutchings2011-04-121-0/+4

* net: Disable all TSO features when SG is disabledBen Hutchings2011-04-121-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The feature flags NETIF_F_TSO and NETIF_F_TSO6 independently enable TSO for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. However, the test in netdev_fix_features() and its predecessor functions was never updated to check for NETIF_F_TSO6, possibly because it was originally proposed that TSO for IPv6 would be dependent on both feature flags. Now that these feature flags can be changed independently from user-space and we depend on netdev_fix_features() to fix invalid feature combinations, it's important to disable them both if scatter-gather is disabled. Also disable NETIF_F_TSO_ECN so user-space sees all TSO features as disabled. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

* | netdev: fix mtu check when TSO is enabledDaniel Lezcano2011-03-301-2/+22
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case the device where is coming from the packet has TSO enabled, we should not check the mtu size value as this one could be bigger than the expected value. This is the case for the macvlan driver when the lower device has TSO enabled. The macvlan inherit this feature and forward the packets without fragmenting them. Then the packets go through dev_forward_skb and are dropped. This patch fix this by checking TSO is not enabled when we want to check the mtu size.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX, and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not match current settings and can not be changed by driver. Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future (also on drivers that do not have the problem).

It consists of: - new fields in struct net_device: + hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling + wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible - new netdev_ops: + feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for enabling features or their combinations + ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match changed dev->features - new ethtool commands: + ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features changed + ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning) Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows to enable GRO even if RX csum is disabled. GRO will not be used for packets without hardware checksum anyway. Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | * | | | | net: Adjust TX queue kobjects if number of queues changes during unregisterBen Hutchings2011-02-151-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the root qdisc for a net device is mqprio, and the driver's ndo_setup_tc() operation dynamically adds and remvoes TX queues, netif_set_real_num_tx_queues() will be called during device unregistration to remove the extra TX queues when the qdisc is destroyed. Currently this causes the corresponding kobjects to be leaked, and the device's reference count never drops to 0. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
