      phylink,sfp: negotiate interface format with MAC · a9c79364
      Russell King authored
      Negotiate the interface format with the MAC rather than requiring it to
      be a fixed type specified solely by the SFP module.  This allows modules
      that can work with several different interface signalling formats to
      select a format compatible with the MAC - for example, a Fiber module
      supporing Gigabit ethernet and faster connected to a Gigabit only MAC
      needs to select the 1000BASE-X mode.

      sfp: support 1G BiDi (eg, FiberStore SFP-GE-BX) modules · 03145864
      Russell King authored
      Some BiDi modules (eg, FiberStore SFP-GE-BX) are not compliant with
      1000BASE-BX as they use different wavelengths from the 1000BASE-BX
      standard (eg, 1310nm/1550nm rather than 1310nm/1490nm).  These modules
      support 1000BASE-X ethernet, so detect them by a failure to find any
      other support, the 8B10B encoding and a bit rate that falls within the
      1Gbps window.

      team: Use extack to report enslavement failures · 44d15d93
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Use extack inside team's enslavement function and also propagate it to
      the netdevice notifier to allow enslaved ports to report the failure
      reason. Example:
      
      $ teamd -t team0 -d -c '{"runner": {"name": "lacp"}}'
      $ ip link set dev lo master team0
      Error: Loopback device can't be added as a team port.

      mlx5-update-2018-02-23 (IB representors)
      
      From: Mark Bloch <markb@mellanox.com>
      =========
      Add IB representor when in switchdev mode
      
      The following series adds support for an IB (RAW Ethernet only) device
      representor which is created when the user switches to switchdev mode.
      
      Today when switching to switchdev mode the only representors which are
      created are net devices. Each netdev is a representor of a virtual
      function and any data sent via the representor is received on the virtual
      function, and any data sent via the virtual function is received by the
      representor.
      
      For the mlx5 driver the main use of this functionality is to be able to
      use Open vSwitch on the hypervisor in order to manage/control traffic
      from/to the virtual functions. Open vSwitch can also work with  DPDK
      devices and not just net devices, this series exposes an IB device, which
      Mellanox PMD driver uses, which then can be used by Open vSwitch DPDK.
      
      An IB device representor exposes only RAW Ethernet QP capabilities and
      the ability to create flow rules to direct traffic to its RX queues. The
      state of the IB device (ACTIVE/DOWN etc..) is based on the state of the
      corresponding net device representor. No other RDMA/RoCE functionality is
      currently supported and no GID table is exposed.
