This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Mariusz adds a new ethtool private flag for forcing true link state with the requested changes from Jakub Kicinski.
Paweł fixes an issue where we were double locking the same resource which would generate a kernel panic after bringing an interface up for i40evf. Alan modifies both drivers to use software values to determine if there are packets stalled on the ring with the added benefit of being less CPU intensive since we do not need to reach into the hardware to get the values. Colin Ian King provides a few fixes detected by Coverity, first was to pass a struct by reference versus by value to be more efficient. Then verify the VSI pointer is not NULL before trying to dereference it. Cleaned up redundant checks that always return true. Dan Carpenter fixes over indented lines of code. The following are changes since commit 4869a1476df5ef2d09fa52acc9cfcc21b47194c5: sh_eth: TSU_QTAG0/1 registers the same as TSU_QTAGM0/1 and are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue 40GbE Alan Brady (1): i40e/i40evf: use SW variables for hang detection Colin Ian King (3): i40evf: pass struct virtchnl_filter by reference rather than by value i40e: check that pointer VSI is not null before dereferencing it i40evf: remove redundant array comparisons to 0 checks Dan Carpenter (1): i40e: remove some stray indenting Mariusz Stachura (1): i40e: link_down_on_close private flag support Paweł Jabłoński (1): i40evf: Fix double locking the same resource drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_adminq_cmd.h | 37 +++++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_ethtool.c | 2 + drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_main.c | 75 ++++++++++++++++++++++ drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.c | 16 +++-- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_txrx.h | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_virtchnl_pf.c | 6 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40e_txrx.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40evf_main.c | 75 ++++++++++------------ .../net/ethernet/intel/i40evf/i40evf_virtchnl.c | 32 +++++---- 9 files changed, 181 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) -- 2.14.3
