Ong Boon Leong says: ==================== net: stmmac: general fixes for Ethernet functionality 1/5: It ensures that the previous value of GMAC_VLAN_TAG register is read first before for updating the register. 2/5: Similar to 2/6 patch but it is a fix for XGMAC_VLAN_TAG register as requested by Jose Abreu. 3/5: It ensures the GMAC IP v4.xx and above behaves correctly to:- ip link set <devname> multicast off|on 4/5: Added similar IFF_MULTICAST flag for xgmac2, similar to 4/6. 5/5: It ensures PCI platform data is using plat->phy_interface. Changes from v4:- patch 1/6 - this patch is dropped now and will take the input on handling return value from netif_set_real_num_rx| tx_queues() in future patch series. v3:- patch 1/6 - add rtnl_lock() and rtnl_unlock() for stmmac_hw_setup() called inside stmmac_resume() patch 3/6 - Added new patch to fix XGMAC_VLAN_TAG register writting v2:- patch 1/5 - added control for rtnl_lock() & rtnl_unlock() to ensure they are used forstmmac_resume() patch 4/5 - added IFF_MULTICAST flag check for xgmac to ensure multicast works correctly. v1:- - Drop v1 patches (1/7, 3/7 & 4/7) that are not valid. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Netdev private dataroom for 6lowpan interfaces:
All 6lowpan able net devices, means all interfaces with ARPHRD_6LOWPAN,
must have "struct lowpan_priv" placed at beginning of netdev_priv.
The priv_size of each interface should be calculate by:
dev->priv_size = LOWPAN_PRIV_SIZE(LL_6LOWPAN_PRIV_DATA);
Where LL_PRIV_6LOWPAN_DATA is sizeof linklayer 6lowpan private data struct.
To access the LL_PRIV_6LOWPAN_DATA structure you can cast:
lowpan_priv(dev)-priv;
to your LL_6LOWPAN_PRIV_DATA structure.
Before registering the lowpan netdev interface you must run:
lowpan_netdev_setup(dev, LOWPAN_LLTYPE_FOOBAR);
wheres LOWPAN_LLTYPE_FOOBAR is a define for your 6LoWPAN linklayer type of
enum lowpan_lltypes.
Example to evaluate the private usually you can do:
static inline struct lowpan_priv_foobar *
lowpan_foobar_priv(struct net_device *dev)
{
return (struct lowpan_priv_foobar *)lowpan_priv(dev)->priv;
}
switch (dev->type) {
case ARPHRD_6LOWPAN:
lowpan_priv = lowpan_priv(dev);
/* do great stuff which is ARPHRD_6LOWPAN related */
switch (lowpan_priv->lltype) {
case LOWPAN_LLTYPE_FOOBAR:
/* do 802.15.4 6LoWPAN handling here */
lowpan_foobar_priv(dev)->bar = foo;
break;
...
}
break;
...
}
In case of generic 6lowpan branch ("net/6lowpan") you can remove the check
on ARPHRD_6LOWPAN, because you can be sure that these function are called
by ARPHRD_6LOWPAN interfaces.
