[ Upstream commit 9ad685dbfe7e856bbf17a7177b64676d324d6ed7 ]

It is not possible to set the number of lanes when setting link modes
using the legacy IOCTL ethtool interface. Since 'struct
ethtool_link_ksettings' is not initialized in this path, drivers receive
an uninitialized number of lanes in 'struct
ethtool_link_ksettings::lanes'.

When this information is later queried from drivers, it results in the
ethtool code making decisions based on uninitialized memory, leading to
the following KMSAN splat [1]. In practice, this most likely only
happens with the tun driver that simply returns whatever it got in the
set operation.

As far as I can tell, this uninitialized memory is not leaked to user
space thanks to the 'ethtool_ops-&gt;cap_link_lanes_supported' check in
linkmodes_prepare_data().

Fix by initializing the structure in the IOCTL path. Did not find any
more call sites that pass an uninitialized structure when calling
'ethtool_ops::set_link_ksettings()'.

<title>net/ethtool/ioctl: split ethtool_get_phy_stats into multiple helpers</title>

So that it's easier to follow and make sense of the branching and
various conditions.

Stats retrieval has been split into two separate functions
ethtool_get_phy_stats_phydev &amp; ethtool_get_phy_stats_ethtool.
The former attempts to retrieve the stats using phydev &amp; phy_ops, while
the latter uses ethtool_ops.

Actual n_stats validation &amp; array allocation has been moved into a new
ethtool_vzalloc_stats_array helper.

This also fixes a potential NULL dereference of
ops-&gt;get_ethtool_phy_stats where it was getting called in an else branch
unconditionally without making sure it was actually present.

return 0 if we didn't actually have any stats. This also allows for
further simplification of this function in the future commits.

The value of an arithmetic expression "n * id.data" is subject
to possible overflow due to a failure to cast operands to a larger data
type before performing arithmetic. Used macro for multiplication instead
operator for avoiding overflow.

If ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() callback isn't set,
ethtool_get_drvinfo() will fill the ethtool_drvinfo::name and
ethtool_drvinfo::bus_info fields.

However, if the driver provides the callback function, those two
fields are not touched. This means that the driver has to fill these
itself.

Allow the driver to leave those two fields empty and populate them in
such case. This way, the driver can rely on the default values for the
name and the bus_info. If the driver provides values, do nothing.

<title>ethtool: Fail number of channels change when it conflicts with rxnfc</title>

Similar to what we do with the hash indirection table [1], when network
flow classification rules are forwarding traffic to channels greater
than the requested number of channels, fail the operation.
Without this, traffic could be directed to channels which no longer
exist (dropped) after changing number of channels.

<title>net: phy: Add support for rate matching</title>

This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to
the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at
one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to
the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for
achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame
based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and
2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W).

This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the
types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys
may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys
can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a
phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T).
Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same
form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices
will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening
these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if
all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching,
then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would
suffice.

For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching
mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only
read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to
configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the
mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate
adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can
be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement.

802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and
"rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls
this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is
shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this
context.
