The mlx4e driver does not support more than one port for VXLAN offload. As
such expecting the hardware to offload other ports is invalid since it

On HiperSockets only outbound queues 0 to 2 are available for unicast
packets. Current Priority Queuing implementation in the qeth driver puts
outgoing packets in outbound queues 0 to 3.
This puts outgoing unicast packets into outbound queue 2 instead of
outbound queue 3 when u

This is a feature which was lost during the conversion to netlink
interface: If the device exists and a user tries to change the link
layer address, query the kernel for the old address first and reject the
new one if sizes differ.

This patch introduces a common set of fix_features and set_features
functions for layer 2 and layer 3. The RX, TX and TSO offload
functionality on the OSA card is enabled using ethtool at user's
request and not at device initialization as done before.
For layer 3 the RX chec

Set scatter/gather ON by default on OSA, for both layer 2 and
layer 3 modes. We always use fragmentation over QDIO anyway,
so let the upper layers of the stack take advantage of that.

In layer3 mode of the qeth driver, multicast IP addresses

The function set_features is called to configure network device features
on the hardware. If errors occur, the network device features should
reflect the changed hardware state and the function should return an
error in order to notify the user.
In case of an error, the current
Due to minimal checking in kernel space, MAC address setting was
problematic in multiple ways:
- Setting an overly long MAC address was accepted and the extra parts
simply ignored.
- Setting an overly short MAC address for VFs was accepted and the
missing part filled with random garbage.

The patch enables NETIF_F_SG flag for OSA in layer 2 mode.
It also adds performance accounting for fragmented sends,
adds a conditional skb_linearize() attempt if the skb had
too many fragments for QDIO SBAL, and fills netdevice->gso_*
attributes.

here are patches for the s390 qeth driver for net-next:
