2011-07-21ethtool: Allow zero-length register dumps againBen Hutchings
Some drivers (ab)use the ethtool_ops::get_regs operation to expose only a hardware revision ID. Commit a77f5db361ed9953b5b749353ea2c7fed2bf8d93 ('ethtool: Allocate register dump buffer with vmalloc()') had the side-effect of breaking these, as vmalloc() returns a null pointer for size=0 whereas kmalloc() did not. For backward-compatibility, allow zero-length dumps again.

2011-06-08v2 ethtool: remove support for ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLEAlexander Duyck
This change is meant to remove all support for displaying an ntuple as strings via ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE. The reason for this change is due to the fact that multiple issues have been found including: - Multiple buffer overruns for strings being displayed. - Incorrect filters displayed, cleared filters with ring of -2 are displayed - Setting get_rx_ntuple displays no rules if defined. - Endianess wrong on displayed values. - Hard limit of 1024 filters makes display functionality extremely limited The only driver that had supported this interface was ixgbe. Since it no longer uses the interface and due to the issues mentioned above I am submitting this patch to remove it. v2: Updated based on comments from Ben Hutchings - Left ETH_SS_NTUPLE_FILTERS in code but commented on it being deprecated - Removed ethtool_rx_ntuple_list and ethtool_rx_ntuple_flow_spec_container - Left ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE but commented it as deprecated Also cleaned up set_rx_ntuple since there is no flow spec container to maintain we can drop all the code for the alloc and free of it and just return ops->set_rx_ntuple().

Added code to take FW dump via ethtool. Dump level can be controlled via setting the dump flag. A get function is provided to query the current setting of the dump flag. Dump data is obtained from the driver via a separate get function. Changes from v3: Fixed buffer length issue in ethtool_get_dump_data function. Updated kernel doc for ethtool_dump struct and get_dump_flag function. Changes from v2: Provided separate commands for get flag and data. Check for minimum of the two buffer length obtained via ethtool and driver and use that for dump buffer Pass up the driver return error codes up to the caller. Added kernel doc comments.

2011-05-08net: Allow ethtool to set interface in loopback mode.Mahesh Bandewar
This patch enables ethtool to set the loopback mode on a given interface. By configuring the interface in loopback mode in conjunction with a policy route / rule, a userland application can stress the egress / ingress path exposing the flows of the change in progress and potentially help developer(s) understand the impact of those changes without even sending a packet out on the network. Following set of commands illustrates one such example - a) ip -4 addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth1 b) ip -4 rule add from all iif eth1 lookup 250 c) ip -4 route add local 0/0 dev lo proto kernel scope host table 250 d) arp -Ds 192.168.1.100 eth1 e) arp -Ds 192.168.1.200 eth1 f) sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 g) sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_local=1 # Assuming that the machine has 8 cores h) taskset 000f netserver -L 192.168.1.200 i) taskset 00f0 netperf -t TCP_CRR -L 192.168.1.100 -H 192.168.1.200 -l 30 Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Acked-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-04-14ethtool: allow custom interval for physical identificationAllan, Bruce W
When physical identification of an adapter is done by toggling the mechanism on and off through software utilizing the set_phys_id operation, it is done with a fixed duration for both on and off states. Some drivers may want to set a custom duration for the on/off intervals. This patch changes the API so the return code from the driver's entry point when it is called with ETHTOOL_ID_ACTIVE can specify the frequency at which to cycle the on/off states, and updates the drivers that have already been converted to use the new set_phys_id and use the synchronous method for identifying an adapter. The physical identification frequency set in the updated drivers is based on how it was done prior to the introduction of set_phys_id. Compile tested only.

2011-04-05ethtool: Change ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID implementation to allow dropping RTNLBen Hutchings
The ethtool ETHTOOL_PHYS_ID command runs for an arbitrarily long period of time, holding the RTNL lock. This blocks routing updates, device enumeration, and various important operations that one might want to keep running while hunting for the flashing LED. We need to drop the RTNL lock during this operation, but currently the core implementation is a thin wrapper around a driver operation and drivers may well depend upon holding the lock. Define a new driver operation 'set_phys_id' with an argument that sets the ID indicator on/off/inactive/active (the last optional, for any driver or firmware that prefers to handle blinking asynchronously). When this is defined, the ethtool core drops the lock while waiting and only acquires it around calls to this operation. Deprecate the 'phys_id' operation in favour of this. It can be removed once all in-tree drivers are converted. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>
2011-04-04net: Allow no-cache copy from user on transmitTom Herbert
This patch uses __copy_from_user_nocache on transmit to bypass data cache for a performance improvement. skb_add_data_nocache and skb_copy_to_page_nocache can be called by sendmsg functions to use this feature, initial support is in tcp_sendmsg. This functionality is configurable per device using ethtool. Presumably, this feature would only be useful when the driver does not touch the data. The feature is turned on by default if a device indicates that it does some form of checksum offload; it is off by default for devices that do no checksum offload or indicate no checksum is necessary. For the former case copy-checksum is probably done anyway, in the latter case the device is likely loopback in which case the no cache copy is probably not beneficial. This patch was tested using 200 instances of netperf TCP_RR with 1400 byte request and one byte reply. Platform is 16 core AMD x86. No-cache copy disabled: 672703 tps, 97.13% utilization 50/90/99% latency:244.31 484.205 1028.41 No-cache copy enabled: 702113 tps, 96.16% utilization, 50/90/99% latency 238.56 467.56 956.955 Using 14000 byte request and response sizes demonstrate the effects more dramatically: No-cache copy disabled: 79571 tps, 34.34 %utlization 50/90/95% latency 1584.46 2319.59 5001.76 No-cache copy enabled: 83856 tps, 34.81% utilization 50/90/95% latency 2508.42 2622.62 2735.88 Note especially the effect on latency tail (95th percentile). This seems to provide a nice performance improvement and is consistent in the tests I ran. Presumably, this would provide the greatest benfits in the presence of an application workload stressing the cache and a lot of transmit data happening.

The SNMP daemon uses ethtool to determine the speed of network interfaces. This fails on Debian (and probably elsewhere) because for security SNMP daemon runs as non-root user (snmp). Note: A similar patch was rejected previously because of a concern about the possibility that on some hardware querying the ethtool settings requires access to the PHY and could slow the machine down.

2010-06-29ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFHBen Hutchings
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.
