      e1000: use disable_hardirq() for e1000_netpoll() · 31119129
      WANG Cong authored 
      In commit 02cea395

 ("genirq: Provide disable_hardirq()")
Peter introduced disable_hardirq() for netpoll, but it is forgotten
to use it for e1000.

This patch changes disable_irq() to disable_hardirq() for e1000.

      i40e: don't truncate match_method assignment · 0266ac45
      Keller, Jacob E authored 
      

The .match_method field is a u8, so we shouldn't be casting to a u16,
and because it is only one byte, we do not need to byte swap anything.
Just assign the value directly. This avoids issues on Big Endian
architectures which would have byte swapped and then incorrectly
truncated the value.

      net: ethernet: ti: netcp: add support of cpts · 6246168b
      WingMan Kwok authored 
      

This patch adds support of the cpts device found in the
gbe and 10gbe ethernet switches on the keystone 2 SoCs
(66AK2E/L/Hx, 66AK2Gx).

      net: phy: phy drivers should not set SUPPORTED_[Asym_]Pause · 529ed127
      Timur Tabi authored 
      Instead of having individual PHY drivers set the SUPPORTED_Pause and
SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause flags, phylib itself should set those flags,
unless there is a hardware erratum or other special case.  During
autonegotiation, the PHYs will determine whether to enable pause
frame support.

Pause frames are a feature that is supported by the MAC.  It is the MAC
that generates the frames and that processes them.  The PHY can only be
configured to allow them to pass through.

This commit also effectively reverts the recently applied c7a61319


("net: phy: dp83848: Support ethernet pause frames").

So the new process is:

1) Unless the PHY driver overrides it, phylib sets the SUPPORTED_Pause
and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits in phydev->supported.  This indicates that
the PHY supports pause frames.

2) The MAC driver checks phydev->supported before it calls phy_start().
If (SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_AsymPause) is set, then the MAC driver
sets those bits in phydev->advertising, if it wants to enable pause
frame support.

3) When the link state changes, the MAC driver checks phydev->pause and
phydev->asym_pause,  If the bits are set, then it enables the corresponding
features in the MAC.  The algorithm is:

	if (phydev->pause)
		The MAC should be programmed to receive and honor
                pause frames it receives, i.e. enable receive flow control.

	if (phydev->pause != phydev->asym_pause)
		The MAC should be programmed to transmit pause
		frames when needed, i.e. enable transmit flow control.

      net: ethernet: stmmac: remove private tx queue lock · 739c8e14
      Lino Sanfilippo authored 
      

The driver uses a private lock for synchronization of the xmit function and
the xmit completion handler, but since the NETIF_F_LLTX flag is not set,
the xmit function is also called with the xmit_lock held.

On the other hand the completion handler uses the reverse locking order by
first taking the private lock and (in case that the tx queue had been
stopped) then the xmit_lock.

Improve the locking by removing the private lock and using only the
xmit_lock for synchronization instead.
