      mdio: translation of MMD EEE registers to/from ethtool settings · b32607dd
      Allan, Bruce W 提交于
      The helper functions which translate IEEE MDIO Manageable Device (MMD)
      Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) registers 3.20, 7.60 and 7.61 to and from
      the comparable ethtool supported/advertised settings will be needed by
      drivers other than those in PHYLIB (e.g. e1000e in a follow-on patch).
      
      In the same fashion as similar translation functions in linux/mii.h, move
      these functions from the PHYLIB core to the linux/mdio.h header file so the
      code will not have to be duplicated in each driver needing MMD-to-ethtool
      (and vice-versa) translations.  The function and some variable names have
      been renamed to be more descriptive.
      
      Not tested on the only hardware that currently calls the related functions,
      stmmac, because I don't have access to any.  Has been compile tested and
      the translations have been tested on a locally modified version of e1000e.

      bonding: support for IPv6 transmit hashing · 6b923cb7
      John Eaglesham 提交于
      Currently the "bonding" driver does not support load balancing outgoing
      traffic in LACP mode for IPv6 traffic. IPv4 (and TCP or UDP over IPv4)
      are currently supported; this patch adds transmit hashing for IPv6 (and
      TCP or UDP over IPv6), bringing IPv6 up to par with IPv4 support in the
      bonding driver. In addition, bounds checking has been added to all
      transmit hashing functions.
      
      The algorithm chosen (xor'ing the bottom three quads of the source and
      destination addresses together, then xor'ing each byte of that result into
      the bottom byte, finally xor'ing with the last bytes of the MAC addresses)
      was selected after testing almost 400,000 unique IPv6 addresses harvested
      from server logs. This algorithm had the most even distribution for both
      big- and little-endian architectures while still using few instructions. Its
      behavior also attempts to closely match that of the IPv4 algorithm.
      
      The IPv6 flow label was intentionally not included in the hash as it appears
      to be unset in the vast majority of IPv6 traffic sampled, and the current
      algorithm not using the flow label already offers a very even distribution.
      
      Fragmented IPv6 packets are handled the same way as fragmented IPv4 packets,
      ie, they are not balanced based on layer 4 information. Additionally,
      IPv6 packets with intermediate headers are not balanced based on layer
      4 information. In practice these intermediate headers are not common and
      this should not cause any problems, and the alternative (a packet-parsing
      loop and look-up table) seemed slow and complicated for little gain.
