Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 00/10] Workarounds and fixes for ntuple filters
Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2011 15:32:39 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110225232357.7920.58559.stgit@gitlad.jf.intel.com> (raw)
This patch series is meant to address issue in the implementation of ntuple
filters in both ixgbe and the kernel. The main issue being that ntuple
filters didn't support the ability for drivers to retain and display
filters.
This series addresses it by removing the ETHTOOL_GRXNTUPLE interface
from the kernel and extends the ethtool network flow classifier interface
to handle the same fields that ntuple filters provide. I have a separate
set of patches I will be emailing out in the next few minutes that will
contain the ethtool user-space portion of these changes.
The patches labeled with RFC are currently just for comments as I am not
submitting them directly to the netdev tree and will be instead submitting
them to the Jeff Kirsher's Intel network driver tree for submission.
