+Netdev features mess and how to get out from it alive
+=====================================================
+
+Author:
+	Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl>
+
+
+
+ Part I: Feature sets
+======================
+
+Long gone are the days when a network card would just take and give packets
+verbatim.  Today's devices add multiple features and bugs (read: offloads)
+that relieve an OS of various tasks like generating and checking checksums,
+splitting packets, classifying them.  Those capabilities and their state
+are commonly referred to as netdev features in Linux kernel world.
+
+There are currently three sets of features relevant to the driver, and
+one used internally by network core:
+
+ 1. netdev->hw_features set contains features whose state may possibly
+    be changed (enabled or disabled) for a particular device by user's
+    request.  This set should be initialized in ndo_init callback and not
+    changed later.
+
+ 2. netdev->features set contains features which are currently enabled
+    for a device.  This should be changed only by network core or in
+    error paths of ndo_set_features callback.
+
+ 3. netdev->vlan_features set contains features whose state is inherited
+    by child VLAN devices (limits netdev->features set).  This is currently
+    used for all VLAN devices whether tags are stripped or inserted in
+    hardware or software.
+
+ 4. netdev->wanted_features set contains feature set requested by user.
+    This set is filtered by ndo_fix_features callback whenever it or
+    some device-specific conditions change. This set is internal to
+    networking core and should not be referenced in drivers.
+
+
+
+ Part II: Controlling enabled features
+=======================================
+
+When current feature set (netdev->features) is to be changed, new set
+is calculated and filtered by calling ndo_fix_features callback
+and netdev_fix_features(). If the resulting set differs from current
+set, it is passed to ndo_set_features callback and (if the callback
+returns success) replaces value stored in netdev->features.
+NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE notification is issued after that whenever current
+set might have changed.
+
+The following events trigger recalculation:
+ 1. device's registration, after ndo_init returned success
+ 2. user requested changes in features state
+ 3. netdev_update_features() is called
+
+ndo_*_features callbacks are called with rtnl_lock held. Missing callbacks
+are treated as always returning success.
+
+A driver that wants to trigger recalculation must do so by calling
+netdev_update_features() while holding rtnl_lock. This should not be done
+from ndo_*_features callbacks. netdev->features should not be modified by
+driver except by means of ndo_fix_features callback.
+
+
+
+ Part III: Implementation hints
+================================
+
+ * ndo_fix_features:
+
+All dependencies between features should be resolved here. The resulting
+set can be reduced further by networking core imposed limitations (as coded
+in netdev_fix_features()). For this reason it is safer to disable a feature
+when its dependencies are not met instead of forcing the dependency on.
+
+This callback should not modify hardware nor driver state (should be
+stateless).  It can be called multiple times between successive
+ndo_set_features calls.
+
+Callback must not alter features contained in NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES or
+NETIF_F_NEVER_CHANGE sets. The exception is NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED but
+care must be taken as the change won't affect already configured VLANs.
+
+ * ndo_set_features:
+
+Hardware should be reconfigured to match passed feature set. The set
+should not be altered unless some error condition happens that can't
+be reliably detected in ndo_fix_features. In this case, the callback
+should update netdev->features to match resulting hardware state.
+Errors returned are not (and cannot be) propagated anywhere except dmesg.
+(Note: successful return is zero, >0 means silent error.)
+
+
+
+ Part IV: Features
+===================
+
+For current list of features, see include/linux/netdev_features.h.
+This section describes semantics of some of them.
+
+ * Transmit checksumming
+
+For complete description, see comments near the top of include/linux/skbuff.h.
+
+Note: NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is a superset of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM + NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM.
+It means that device can fill TCP/UDP-like checksum anywhere in the packets
+whatever headers there might be.
+
+ * Transmit TCP segmentation offload
+
+NETIF_F_TSO_ECN means that hardware can properly split packets with CWR bit
+set, be it TCPv4 (when NETIF_F_TSO is enabled) or TCPv6 (NETIF_F_TSO6).
+
+ * Transmit DMA from high memory
+
+On platforms where this is relevant, NETIF_F_HIGHDMA signals that
+ndo_start_xmit can handle skbs with frags in high memory.
+
+ * Transmit scatter-gather
+
+Those features say that ndo_start_xmit can handle fragmented skbs:
+NETIF_F_SG --- paged skbs (skb_shinfo()->frags), NETIF_F_FRAGLIST ---
+chained skbs (skb->next/prev list).
+
+ * Software features
+
+Features contained in NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES are features of networking
+stack. Driver should not change behaviour based on them.
+
+ * LLTX driver (deprecated for hardware drivers)
+
+NETIF_F_LLTX should be set in drivers that implement their own locking in
+transmit path or don't need locking at all (e.g. software tunnels).
+In ndo_start_xmit, it is recommended to use a try_lock and return
+NETDEV_TX_LOCKED when the spin lock fails.  The locking should also properly
+protect against other callbacks (the rules you need to find out).
+
+Don't use it for new drivers.
+
+ * netns-local device
+
+NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL is set for devices that are not allowed to move between
+network namespaces (e.g. loopback).
+
+Don't use it in drivers.
+
+ * VLAN challenged
+
+NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED should be set for devices which can't cope with VLAN
+headers. Some drivers set this because the cards can't handle the bigger MTU.
+[FIXME: Those cases could be fixed in VLAN code by allowing only reduced-MTU
+VLANs. This may be not useful, though.]

+Linux NFC subsystem
+===================
+
+The Near Field Communication (NFC) subsystem is required to standardize the
+NFC device drivers development and to create an unified userspace interface.
+
+This document covers the architecture overview, the device driver interface
+description and the userspace interface description.
+
+Architecture overview
+---------------------
+
+The NFC subsystem is responsible for:
+      - NFC adapters management;
+      - Polling for targets;
+      - Low-level data exchange;
+
+The subsystem is divided in some parts. The 'core' is responsible for
+providing the device driver interface. On the other side, it is also
+responsible for providing an interface to control operations and low-level
+data exchange.
+
+The control operations are available to userspace via generic netlink.
+
+The low-level data exchange interface is provided by the new socket family
+PF_NFC. The NFC_SOCKPROTO_RAW performs raw communication with NFC targets.
+
+
+             +--------------------------------------+
+             |              USER SPACE              |
+             +--------------------------------------+

+                                    +-----------+
+
+Device Driver Interface
+-----------------------
+
+When registering on the NFC subsystem, the device driver must inform the core
+of the set of supported NFC protocols and the set of ops callbacks. The ops
+callbacks that must be implemented are the following:
+
+* start_poll - setup the device to poll for targets
+* stop_poll - stop on progress polling operation
+* activate_target - select and initialize one of the targets found
+* deactivate_target - deselect and deinitialize the selected target
+* data_exchange - send data and receive the response (transceive operation)
+
+Userspace interface
+--------------------
+
+The userspace interface is divided in control operations and low-level data
+exchange operation.
+
+CONTROL OPERATIONS:
+
+Generic netlink is used to implement the interface to the control operations.
+The operations are composed by commands and events, all listed below:
+
+* NFC_CMD_GET_DEVICE - get specific device info or dump the device list
+* NFC_CMD_START_POLL - setup a specific device to polling for targets
+* NFC_CMD_STOP_POLL - stop the polling operation in a specific device
+* NFC_CMD_GET_TARGET - dump the list of targets found by a specific device
+
+* NFC_EVENT_DEVICE_ADDED - reports an NFC device addition
+* NFC_EVENT_DEVICE_REMOVED - reports an NFC device removal
+* NFC_EVENT_TARGETS_FOUND - reports START_POLL results when 1 or more targets
+are found
+
+The user must call START_POLL to poll for NFC targets, passing the desired NFC
+protocols through NFC_ATTR_PROTOCOLS attribute. The device remains in polling
+state until it finds any target. However, the user can stop the polling
+operation by calling STOP_POLL command. In this case, it will be checked if
+the requester of STOP_POLL is the same of START_POLL.
+
+If the polling operation finds one or more targets, the event TARGETS_FOUND is
+sent (including the device id). The user must call GET_TARGET to get the list of
+all targets found by such device. Each reply message has target attributes with
+relevant information such as the supported NFC protocols.
+
+All polling operations requested through one netlink socket are stopped when
+it's closed.
+
+LOW-LEVEL DATA EXCHANGE:
+
+The userspace must use PF_NFC sockets to perform any data communication with
+targets. All NFC sockets use AF_NFC:
+
+struct sockaddr_nfc {
+       sa_family_t sa_family;
+       __u32 dev_idx;
+       __u32 target_idx;
+       __u32 nfc_protocol;
+};
+
+To establish a connection with one target, the user must create an
+NFC_SOCKPROTO_RAW socket and call the 'connect' syscall with the sockaddr_nfc
+struct correctly filled. All information comes from NFC_EVENT_TARGETS_FOUND
+netlink event. As a target can support more than one NFC protocol, the user
+must inform which protocol it wants to use.
+
+Internally, 'connect' will result in an activate_target call to the driver.
+When the socket is closed, the target is deactivated.
+
+The data format exchanged through the sockets is NFC protocol dependent. For
+instance, when communicating with MIFARE tags, the data exchanged are MIFARE
+commands and their responses.
+
+The first received package is the response to the first sent package and so
+on. In order to allow valid "empty" responses, every data received has a NULL
+header of 1 byte.

+		JUMBO frames.
+ o pmt: core has the embedded power module (optional).
+ o force_sf_dma_mode: force DMA to use the Store and Forward mode
+		     instead of the Threshold.
+ o fix_mac_speed: this callback is used for modifying some syscfg registers
+		 (on ST SoCs) according to the link speed negotiated by the
+		 physical layer .
+ o bus_setup: perform HW setup of the bus. For example, on some ST platforms
+	     this field is used to configure the AMBA  bridge to generate more
+	     efficient STBus traffic.
+ o init/exit: callbacks used for calling a custom initialisation;
+	     this is sometime necessary on some platforms (e.g. ST boxes)
+	     where the HW needs to have set some PIO lines or system cfg
+	     registers.
+ o custom_cfg: this is a custom configuration that can be passed while
+	      initialising the resources.

+
+Below the usage of the stmmac_mdio_bus_data: on this SoC, in fact,
+there are two MAC cores: one MAC is for MDIO Bus/PHY emulation
+with fixed_link support.
+
+static struct stmmac_mdio_bus_data stmmac1_mdio_bus = {
+	.bus_id = 1,
+		|
+		|-> phy device on the bus_id 1
+	.phy_reset = phy_reset;

+
+static struct fixed_phy_status stmmac0_fixed_phy_status = {
+	.link = 1,
+	.speed = 100,
+	.duplex = 1,
+};
+
+During the board's device_init we can configure the first
+MAC for fixed_link by calling:
+  fixed_phy_add(PHY_POLL, 1, &stmmac0_fixed_phy_status));)
+and the second one, with a real PHY device attached to the bus,
+by using the stmmac_mdio_bus_data structure (to provide the id, the
+reset procedure etc).
