2020-07-27hsr: enhance netlink socket interface to support PRPMurali Karicheri1-12/+23
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is another redundancy protocol introduced by IEC 63439 standard. It is similar to HSR in many aspects:- - Use a pair of Ethernet interfaces to created the PRP device - Use a 6 byte redundancy protocol part (RCT, Redundancy Check Trailer) similar to HSR Tag. - Has Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) that works with RCT to implement redundancy. Key difference is that the protocol unit is a trailer instead of a prefix as in HSR. That makes it inter-operable with tradition network components such as bridges/switches which treat it as pad bytes, whereas HSR nodes requires some kind of translators (Called redbox) to talk to regular network devices. This features allows regular linux box to be converted to a DAN-P box. DAN-P stands for Dual Attached Node - PRP similar to DAN-H (Dual Attached Node - HSR). Add a comment at the header/source code to explicitly state that the driver files also handles PRP protocol as well. Signed-off-by: Murali Karicheri <m-karicheri2@ti.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-06-13treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'Masahiro Yamada1-1/+1
Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

2016-04-16net/hsr: Added support for HSR v1Peter Heise1-2/+3
This patch adds support for the newer version 1 of the HSR networking standard. Version 0 is still default and the new version has to be selected via iproute2. Main changes are in the supervision frame handling and its ethertype field. Signed-off-by: Peter Heise <peter.heise@airbus.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2013-11-04net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol ↵Arvid Brodin1-0/+27
(HSRv0) High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and very short reaction time. HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring must be HSR capable. This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0). Signed-off-by: Arvid Brodin <arvid.brodin@xdin.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
