In kernel log ths message appears on every boot:
 "warning: `NetworkChangeNo' uses legacy ethtool link settings API,
  link modes are only partially reported"

When ethtool link settings API changed, it started complaining about
usages of old API. Ironically, the original patch was from google but
the application using the legacy API is chrome.

Linux ABI is fixed as much as possible. The kernel must not break it
and should not complain about applications using legacy API's.
This patch just removes the warning since using legacy API's
in Linux is perfectly acceptable.

There were quite a few overlapping sets of changes here.

Daniel's bug fix for off-by-ones in the new BPF branch instructions,
along with the added allowances for "data_end &gt; ptr + x" forms
collided with the metadata additions.

Along with those three changes came veritifer test cases, which in
their final form I tried to group together properly.  If I had just
trimmed GIT's conflict tags as-is, this would have split up the
meta tests unnecessarily.

In the socketmap code, a set of preemption disabling changes
overlapped with the rename of bpf_compute_data_end() to
bpf_compute_data_pointers().

Changes were made to the mv88e6060.c driver set addr method
which got removed in net-next.

The hyperv transport socket layer had a locking change in 'net'
which overlapped with a change of socket state macro usage
in 'net-next'.

Commit 9cab88726929605 ("net: ethtool: Add back transceiver type")
restores the transceiver type to struct ethtool_link_settings and
convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings() but forgets to remove the
error check for the same in convert_legacy_settings_to_link_ksettings().
This prevents older versions of ethtool to change link settings.

    # ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on speed 100 duplex full

This function provides a way to intersect two link masks together to
find the common ground between them.  For example in i40e, the driver
first generates link masks for what is supported by the PHY type.  The
driver then gets the link masks for what the NVM supports.  The
resulting intersection between them yields what can truly be supported.

Commit 3f1ac7a700d0 ("net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API")
deprecated the ethtool_cmd::transceiver field, which was fine in
premise, except that the PHY library was actually using it to report the
type of transceiver: internal or external.

Use the first word of the reserved field to put this __u8 transceiver
field back in. It is made read-only, and we don't expect the
ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS API to be doing anything with this anyway, so this
is mostly for the legacy path where we do:

ethtool_get_settings()
-&gt; dev-&gt;ethtool_ops-&gt;get_link_ksettings()
   -&gt; convert_link_ksettings_to_legacy_settings()

to have no information loss compared to the legacy get_settings API.

<title>net: ethtool: add support for forward error correction modes</title>
<updated>2017-07-30T06:23:44+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=1a5f3da20bd966220931239fbd31e6ac6ff42251'/>
<id>1a5f3da20bd966220931239fbd31e6ac6ff42251</id>
<content type='text'>
Forward Error Correction (FEC) modes i.e Base-R
and Reed-Solomon modes are introduced in 25G/40G/100G standards
for providing good BER at high speeds. Various networking devices
which support 25G/40G/100G provides ability to manage supported FEC
modes and the lack of FEC encoding control and reporting today is a
source for interoperability issues for many vendors.
FEC capability as well as specific FEC mode i.e. Base-R
or RS modes can be requested or advertised through bits D44:47 of
base link codeword.

This patch set intends to provide option under ethtool to manage
and report FEC encoding settings for networking devices as per
IEEE 802.3 bj, bm and by specs.

set-fec/show-fec option(s) are designed to provide control and
report the FEC encoding on the link.

SET FEC option:
root@tor: ethtool --set-fec  swp1 encoding [off | RS | BaseR | auto]

Encoding: Types of encoding
Off    :  Turning off any encoding
RS     :  enforcing RS-FEC encoding on supported speeds
BaseR  :  enforcing Base R encoding on supported speeds
Auto   :  IEEE defaults for the speed/medium combination

Here are a few examples of what we would expect if encoding=auto:
- if autoneg is on, we are  expecting FEC to be negotiated as on or off
  as long as protocol supports it
- if the hardware is capable of detecting the FEC encoding on it's
      receiver it will reconfigure its encoder to match
- in absence of the above, the configuration would be set to IEEE
  defaults.

&gt;From our  understanding , this is essentially what most hardware/driver
combinations are doing today in the absence of a way for users to
control the behavior.

SHOW FEC option:
root@tor: ethtool --show-fec  swp1
FEC parameters for swp1:
Active FEC encodings: RS
Configured FEC encodings:  RS | BaseR

ETHTOOL DEVNAME output modification:

This patch includes following changes
a) New ETHTOOL_SFECPARAM/SFECPARAM API, handled by
  the new get_fecparam/set_fecparam callbacks, provides support
  for configuration of forward error correction modes.
b) Link mode bits for FEC modes i.e. None (No FEC mode), RS, BaseR/FC
  are defined so that users can configure these fec modes for supported
  and advertising fields as part of link autonegotiation.

<content type='text'>
This adds a new netdevice feature, so that the offloading of RX port for
UDP tunnels can be disabled by the administrator on some netdevices,
using the "rx-udp_tunnel-port-offload" feature in ethtool.

This feature is set for all devices that provide ndo_udp_tunnel_add.
