mdio: Expose pause frame advertising flags to ethtool

2009-10-13T06:59:08Z

In mdio45_ethtool_gset_npage() and mdio45_ethtool_gset(), check MDIO pause frame advertising flags and set the corresponding ethtool flags. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mdio: Advertise pause (flow control) settings even if autoneg is off

2009-10-13T06:59:07Z

Currently, if pause autoneg is off we do not set either pause advertising flag. If autonegotiation of speed and duplex settings is enabled, there is no way for the link partner to distinguish this from our refusing to use pause frames. We should instead set the advertising flags according to the forced mode so that the link partner can follow our lead. This is consistent with the behaviour of other drivers.

netdev: Remove redundant checks for CAP_NET_ADMIN in MDIO implementations

2009-09-04T03:02:11Z

dev_ioctl() already checks capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) before calling the driver's implementation of MDIO ioctls. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mdio: Check MDIO_STAT1_FAULT in mdio45_links_ok()

2009-08-27T00:38:53Z

Some PHYs will report that the link is up even though there is a fault condition. Therefore, check the fault flag too. We must also read STAT2 to reset this flag. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mdio: Expose 10GBASE-T MDI-X status via ethtool

2009-06-11T09:47:10Z

This is available in a standard MDIO register in 10GBASE-T PHYs. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool/mdio: Support backplane mode negotiation

ethtool/mdio: Report MDIO mode support and link partner advertising

2009-04-30T00:32:37Z

Add mdio_support and lp_advertising fields to ethtool_cmd. Set these in mdio45_ethtool_gset{,_npage}(). Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mdio: Add mdio45_ethtool_spauseparam_an()

2009-04-30T00:32:36Z

This implements the ETHTOOL_SPAUSEPARAM operation for MDIO (clause 45) PHYs with auto-negotiation MMDs. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mdio: Add generic MDIO (clause 45) support functions

2009-04-30T00:32:29Z

These roughly mirror many of the MII library functions and are based on code from the sfc driver. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
