5455c6998d net: Introduce new feature setting ops
This introduces a new framework to handle device features setting.
It consists of:
  - new fields in struct net_device:
	+ hw_features - features that hw/driver supports toggling
	+ wanted_features - features that user wants enabled, when possible
  - new netdev_ops:
	+ feat = ndo_fix_features(dev, feat) - API checking constraints for
		enabling features or their combinations
	+ ndo_set_features(dev) - API updating hardware state to match
		changed dev->features
  - new ethtool commands:
	+ ETHTOOL_GFEATURES/ETHTOOL_SFEATURES: get/set dev->wanted_features
		and trigger device reconfiguration if resulting dev->features
		changed
	+ ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS(ETH_SS_FEATURES): get feature bits names (meaning)

b00916b189 net: clear heap allocations for privileged ethtool actions
Several other ethtool functions leave heap uncleared (potentially) by
drivers. Some interfaces appear safe (eeprom, etc), in that the sizes
are well controlled. In some situations (e.g. unchecked error conditions),
the heap will remain unchanged in areas before copying back to userspace.
Note that these are less of an issue since these all require CAP_NET_ADMIN.

0fdc100bdc ethtool: allow non-netadmin to query settings
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.  But the
security risk of requiring SNMP daemon (and related services)
to run as root far out weighs the risk of denial-of-service.

0141480205 ethtool: Provide a default implementation of ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo
The driver name and bus address for a net_device can normally be found
through the driver model now.  Instead of requiring drivers to provide
this information redundantly through the ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo
operation, use the driver model to do so if the driver does not define
the operation.  Since ETHTOOL_GDRVINFO no longer requires the driver
to implement any operations, do not require net_device::ethtool_ops to
be set either.

a5b6ee291e ethtool: Add support for control of RX flow hash indirection
Many NICs use an indirection table to map an RX flow hash value to one
of an arbitrary number of queues (not necessarily a power of 2).  It
can be useful to remove some queues from this indirection table so
that they are only used for flows that are specifically filtered
there.  It may also be useful to weight the mapping to account for
user processes with the same CPU-affinity as the RX interrupts.

1437ce3983 ethtool: Change ethtool_op_set_flags to validate flags
ethtool_op_set_flags() does not check for unsupported flags, and has
no way of doing so.  This means it is not suitable for use as a

Add a 'supported' parameter specifying the flags that the driver and
hardware support, validate the requested flags against this, and
change all current callers to pass this parameter.

call ethtool_op_set_flags().

bf988435bd ethtool: Fix potential user buffer overflow for ETHTOOL_{G, S}RXFH
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.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Debatable -- the current comment is located at the callsite of
ops->get_sset_count(), which is where an implementor might think to add
a new call.  Not all the numeric fields in ethtool_drvinfo are obtained
from ->get_sset_count().

Hence the "some" in the attached patch to include/linux/ethtool.h,
addressing your comment.

738b0343e7 Revert "ethtool: Add n-tuple string length to drvinfo and return it"
This reverts commit c79c5ffdce.

As Jeff points out we can't break the user visible interface
like this, we need to add this into the reserved[] thing.

c79c5ffdce ethtool: Add n-tuple string length to drvinfo and return it
The drvinfo struct should include the number of strings that
get_rx_ntuple will return.  It will be variable if an underlying
driver implements its own get_rx_ntuple routine, so userspace
needs to know how much data is coming.

7af3351f71 ethtool: Don't flush n-tuple list from ethtool_reset()
The n-tuple list should be flushed if and only if the ETH_RESET_FILTER
flag is set and the driver is able to reset filtering/flow direction
hardware without also resetting a component whose flag is not set.
This test is best left to the driver.

339c6e9985 ethtool: reduce stack usage
dev_ethtool() is currently using 604 bytes of stack, even with gcc-4.4.2

objdump -d vmlinux | scripts/checkstack.pl
...
0xc04bbc33 dev_ethtool [vmlinux]:			604
...
Adding noinline attributes to selected functions can reduce stack usage.

e858911804 ethtool: Fix filter addition when caching n-tuple filters
We can allow a filter to be added successfully to the underlying
hardware, but still return an error if the cached list memory
allocation fails.  This patch fixes that condition.

8e5574211d ethtool: Use explicit designated initializers for .cmd
Initialize the .cmd member of various ethtool using a designated struct
initializer rather.  This makes things a teeny bit more robust, although
the chance of a struct layout changing is extremely remote, and also
makes the code a little easier to read.

15682bc488 ethtool: Introduce n-tuple filter programming support
This patchset enables the ethtool layer to program n-tuple
filters to an underlying device.  The idea is to allow capable
hardware to have static rules applied that can assist steering
flows into appropriate queues.

Hardware that is known to support these types of filters today
are ixgbe and niu.

d73d3a8cb4 ethtool: Add reset operation
After updating firmware stored in flash, users may wish to reset the
relevant hardware and start the new firmware immediately.  This should
not be completely automatic as it may be disruptive.

A selective reset may also be useful for debugging or diagnostics.

This adds a separate reset operation which takes flags indicating the
components to be reset.  Drivers are allowed to reset only a subset of
those requested, and must indicate the actual subset.  This allows the
use of generic component masks and some future expansion.
