Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-09-01
This series contains updates to i40e, ixgbe and ixgbevf.
Anjali fixes a bug in i40e where the port is not receiving multicast or VLAN
tagged packets in promiscuous mode. Which can occur when a software bridge
is created on top of the device.
Don adds support in ixgbe that indicates the presence of management firmware.
Added support for entering low power link up state on devices that support
it when the device is closing or suspending. Updated the driver to report
unknown bus speed and width since IOSF does not report a PCIe bus speed or
width for X550 devices. Also added the new bus type for integrated I/O
interface (IOSF). Cleaned up of redundant code in ixgbe.
Mark adds support for UDP-encapsulation transmit checksum and for VXLAN
receive offloads. Introduces a helper function to do the register access
and processing to avoid needless PHY access on copper PHYs. Added support
for reporting 2.5G link speed. Fixed warnings resulting from redundant
initializations of the get_bus_info field.
Maninder Singh updates the ixgbe driver to use kzalloc instead of kcalloc
for allocation of one thing.
Tom Barbette adds support for ethtool to change the rxfh indirection table
and/or key using ethtool interface.
Emil resolves an issue where users were not able to dynamically set number
of queues for 82598 via ethtool -L.
Alex Williamson removes bimodal SR-IOV disabling behavior since it is
confusing to users and results in a state where the PF is broken for other
uses unless the user sets sriov_numvfs to zero prior to unbinding the
device.
