Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: Support Wake-on-LAN using filters This is technically a v2, but this patch series builds on your feedback and defines the following: - a new WAKE_* bit: WAKE_FILTER which can be enabled alongside other type of Wake-on-LAN to support waking up on a programmed filter (match + action) - a new RX_CLS_FLOW_WAKE flow action which can be specified by an user when inserting a flow using ethtool::rxnfc, similar to the existing RX_CLS_FLOW_DISC The bcm_sf2 and bcmsysport drivers are updated accordingly to work in concert to allow matching packets at the switch level, identified by their filter location to be used as a match by the SYSTEM PORT (CPU/management controller) during Wake-on-LAN. Let me know if this looks better than the previous incarnation of the patch series. Attached is also the ethtool patch that I would be submitting once the uapi changes are committed. Thank you! Changes in v2: - bail out earlier in bcm_sf2_cfp's get_rxnfc if an error is encountered (Andrew) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
