net/core: Replace driver version to be kernel version

2020-01-27T12:47:22+00:00

In order to stop useless driver version bumps and unify output
presented by ethtool -i, let's set default version string.

As Linus said in [1]: "Things are supposed to be backwards and
forwards compatible, because we don't accept breakage in user
space anyway. So versioning is pointless, and only causes
problems."

They cause problems when users start to see version changes
and expect specific set of features which will be different
for stable@, vanilla and distribution kernels.

Distribution kernels are based on some kernel version with extra
patches on top, for example, in RedHat world this "extra" is a lot
and for them your driver version say nothing. Users who run vanilla
kernels won't use driver version information too, because running
such kernels requires knowledge and understanding.

Another set of problems are related to difference in versioning scheme
and such doesn't allow to write meaningful automation which will work
sanely on all ethtool capable devices.

Before this change:
[leonro@erver ~]$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: virtio_net
version: 1.0.0
After this change and once ->version assignment will be deleted
from virtio_net:
[leonro@server ~]$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: virtio_net
version: 5.5.0-rc6+

ethtool: add WOL_NTF notification

2020-01-27T10:31:36+00:00

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_NTF notification whenever wake-on-lan settings of
a device are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_SET netlink message or
ETHTOOL_SWOL ioctl request.

As notifications can be received by anyone, do not include SecureOn(tm)
password in notification messages.

ethtool: add DEBUG_NTF notification

2020-01-27T10:31:36+00:00

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_NTF notification message whenever debugging message
mask for a device are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_SET netlink message
or ETHTOOL_SMSGLVL ioctl request.

The notification message has the same format as reply to DEBUG_GET request.
As with other ethtool notifications, netlink requests only trigger the
notification if the mask is actually changed while ioctl request trigger it
whenever the request results in calling the ethtool_ops handler.

ethtool: provide link state with LINKSTATE_GET request

2019-12-28T00:40:02+00:00

Implement LINKSTATE_GET netlink request to get link state information.

At the moment, only link up flag as provided by ETHTOOL_GLINK ioctl command
is returned.

LINKSTATE_GET request can be used with NLM_F_DUMP (without device
identification) to request the information for all devices in current
network namespace providing the data.

ethtool: add LINKMODES_NTF notification

2019-12-28T00:40:02+00:00

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_NTF notification message whenever device link
settings or advertised modes are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_SET
netlink message or ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS or ETHTOOL_SSET ioctl commands.

The notification message has the same format as reply to LINKMODES_GET
request. ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_SET netlink request only triggers the
notification if there is a change but the ioctl command handlers do not
check if there is an actual change and trigger the notification whenever
the commands are executed.

As all work is done by ethnl_default_notify() handler and callback
functions introduced to handle LINKMODES_GET requests, all that remains is
adding entries for ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_NTF into ethnl_notify_handlers and
ethnl_default_notify_ops lookup tables and calls to ethtool_notify() where
needed.

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_NTF notification message whenever device link
settings are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_SET netlink message or
ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS or ETHTOOL_SSET ioctl commands.

The notification message has the same format as reply to LINKINFO_GET
request. ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_SET netlink request only triggers the
notification if there is a change but the ioctl command handlers do not
check if there is an actual change and trigger the notification whenever
the commands are executed.

ethtool: provide link settings with LINKINFO_GET request

2019-12-28T00:40:02+00:00

Implement LINKINFO_GET netlink request to get basic link settings provided
by ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS and ETHTOOL_GSET ioctl commands.

This request provides settings not directly related to autonegotiation and
link mode selection: physical port, phy MDIO address, MDI(-X) status,
MDI(-X) control and transceiver.

LINKINFO_GET request can be used with NLM_F_DUMP (without device
identification) to request the information for all devices in current
network namespace providing the data.

ethtool: provide link mode names as a string set

2019-12-13T01:07:05+00:00

Unlike e.g. netdev features, the ethtool ioctl interface requires link mode
table to be in sync between kernel and userspace for userspace to be able
to display and set all link modes supported by kernel. The way arbitrary
length bitsets are implemented in netlink interface, this will be no longer
needed.

To allow userspace to access all link modes running kernel supports, add
table of ethernet link mode names and make it available as a string set to
userspace GET_STRSET requests. Add build time check to make sure names
are defined for all modes declared in enum ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices.

Once the string set is available, make it also accessible via ioctl.
