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

2010-08-02T17:21:06+00:00

commit bf988435bd5b53529f4408a8efb1f433f6ddfda9 upstream.

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.

net/ethtool: Add support for the ethtool feature to flash firmware image from a specified file.

2009-09-03T06:07:39+00:00

This patch adds support to flash a firmware image to a device using ethtool.
The driver gets the filename of the firmware image and flashes the image
using the request firmware path.

The region "on the chip" to be flashed can be specified by an option.
It is upto the device driver to enumerate the region number passed by ethtool,
to the region to be flashed.

The default behavior is to flash all the regions on the chip.

e1000e: Expose MDI-X status via ethtool change

2009-06-09T12:25:36+00:00

Ethtool is a standard way of getting information about
ethernet interfaces.  We enhance ethtool kernel interface
& e1000e to make the MDI-X status readable via ethtool in
userspace.

ethtool: Add port type PORT_OTHER

2009-04-30T00:32:27+00:00

Add a PORT_OTHER to represent all other physical port types.  Current
NICs generally do not allow switching between multiple port types in
software so specific types should not be needed.

ethtool: Add GGRO and SGRO ops

2008-12-16T07:44:31+00:00

This patch adds the ethtool ops to enable and disable GRO.  It also
makes GRO depend on RX checksum offload much the same as how TSO
depends on SG support.

ethtool: Expand ethtool_cmd.speed to 32 bits

2008-08-07T06:22:08+00:00

Introduce the speed_hi field to ethtool_cmd, using the reserved space,
to expand the speed field to 2^32 Megabits/second.

Making this field expansion now gives us plenty of time to fix up the
user-space pieces that use SIOCETHTOOL before hardware faster than 64
Gb/s is available.
