1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-08-08
This series contains updates to e1000e and igb/igbvf.
Gangfeng Huang fixes an issue with receive network flow classification,
where igb_nfc_filter_exit() was not being called in igb_down() which
would cause the filter tables to "fill up" if a user where to change
the adapter settings (such as speed) which requires a reset of the
adapter.
Cliff Spradlin fixes a timestamping issue, where igb was allowing requests
for hardware timestamping even if it was not configured for hardware
transmit timestamping.
Corinna Vinschen removes the error message that there was an "unexpected
SYS WRAP", when it is actually expected. So remove the message to not
confuse users.
Greg Edwards provides several patches for the mailbox interface between
the PF and VF drivers. Added a mailbox unlock method to be used to unlock
the PF/VF mailbox by the PF. Added a lock around the VF mailbox ops to
prevent the VF from sending another message while the PF is still
processing the previous message. Fixed a "scheduling while atomic" issue
by changing msleep() to mdelay().
Sasha adds support for the next LOM generations i219 (v8 & v9) which
will be available in the next Intel client platform IceLake.
John Linville adds support for a Broadcom PHY to the igb driver, since
there are designs out in the world which use the igb MAC and a third
party PHY. This allows the driver to load and function as expected on
these designs.
