Subject: [PATCH v6 0/9] net: Unified offload configuration
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 03:59:16 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1297824704.git.mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> (raw)
Here's a v6 of the ethtool unification patch series.
What's in it?
1..4:
cleanups for the core patches
5:
the patch - implement unified ethtool setting ops
6..7:
implement interoperation between old and new ethtool ops
8:
include RX checksum in features and plug it into new framework
9:
convert loopback device to new framework
What is it good for?
- unifies driver behaviour wrt hardware offloads
- removes a lot of boilerplate code from drivers
- allows better fine-grained control over used offloads
This version is not tested, yet.
Best Regards,
Michał Mirosław
