Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/2] Add WAKE_MDA Wake-on-LAN option
This is a follow-up to the patch series previously submitted here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230516231713.2882879-1-florian.fainelli@broadcom.com/
which is now implementing the approach suggested by Andrew. This patch
series adds a new Wake-on-LAN option (WAKE_MDA) with the single letter
'e' (all of the 'm', 'd' and 'a' were already taken) which allows us to
specify a custom destination MAC to be waking from.
For the ioctl-based interface we use an anonymous union to overlay a
6-byte MAC DA field with the existing sopass field.
This is particularly useful for systems that use Ethernet PHYs as
wake-up devices and when waking up on coarse filters like multicast,
broadcast destination MAC addresses is not enough to keep them in a low
power state.
We use this on Set-top-box environments in order to allow waking-up from
only specific IPv4/v6 multicast groups like mDNS for instance. Printers,
smart speaker and IoT devices could fall in that category as well.
Example:
ethtool -s eth0 wol e mac-da 01:00:5e:00:00:fb
ethtool patches are sent as a reply to this thread.
