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

When bringing the port up, performing a SENSE_PORT command To try and check to which physical link type (IB or Ethernet) the physical port is connected. In case there is no valid link partner, the port will come up as its supported default. Signed-off-by: Yevgeny Petrilin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mlx4: Fixing bad size of event queue buffer

2011-03-31T09:52:18Z

We should reduce the number of reserved completion queues from the total number of entries. Since the queue size is power of two, not reducing the reserved entries, caused a double queue size, which may lead to allocation failures in some cases.
