[ Upstream commit 4f5a52adeb1ad675ca33f1e1eacd9c0bbaf393d4 ]

The sanity check that both source and destination are set when symmetric
RSS hash is requested is only relevant for ETHTOOL_SRXFH (rx-flow-hash),
it should not be performed on any other commands (e.g.
ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS/ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLDEL).

This resolves accessing uninitialized 'info.data' field, and fixes false
errors in rule insertion:
  # ethtool --config-ntuple eth2 flow-type ip4 dst-ip 255.255.255.255 action -1 loc 0
  rmgr: Cannot insert RX class rule: Invalid argument
  Cannot insert classification rule

[ Upstream commit 12e070eb6964b341b41677fd260af5a305316a1f ]

The following trace can be seen if a device is being unregistered while
its number of channels are being modified.

This is because unregister_netdevice_many_notify might run before the
rtnl lock section of ethnl operations, eg. set_channels in the above
example. In this example the rss lock would be destroyed by the device
unregistration path before being used again, but in general running
ethnl operations while dismantle has started is not a good idea.

Fix this by denying any operation on devices being unregistered. A check
was already there in ethnl_ops_begin, but not wide enough.

Note that the same issue cannot be seen on the ioctl version
(__dev_ethtool) because the device reference is retrieved from within
the rtnl lock section there. Once dismantle started, the net device is
unlisted and no reference will be found.

<title>ethtool: Fix wrong mod state in case of verbose and no_mask bitset</title>

<content type='text'>
A bitset without mask in a _SET request means we want exactly the bits in
the bitset to be set. This works correctly for compact format but when
verbose format is parsed, ethnl_update_bitset32_verbose() only sets the
bits present in the request bitset but does not clear the rest. The commit
6699170376ab ("ethtool: fix application of verbose no_mask bitset") fixes
this issue by clearing the whole target bitmap before we start iterating.
The solution proposed brought an issue with the behavior of the mod
variable. As the bitset is always cleared the old value will always
differ to the new value.

Fix it by adding a new function to compare bitmaps and a temporary variable
which save the state of the old bitmap.

<title>net: ethtool: account for RSS+RXNFC add semantics when checking channel count</title>

In ethtool_check_max_channel(), the new RX count must not only cover the
 max queue indices in RSS indirection tables and RXNFC destinations
 separately, but must also, for RXNFC rules with FLOW_RSS, cover the sum
 of the destination queue and the maximum index in the associated RSS
 context's indirection table, since that is the highest queue that the
 rule can actually deliver traffic to.
It could be argued that the max queue across all custom RSS contexts
 (ethtool_get_max_rss_ctx_channel()) need no longer be considered, since
 any context to which packets can actually be delivered will be targeted
 by some RXNFC rule and its max will thus be allowed for by
 ethtool_get_max_rxnfc_channel().  For simplicity we keep both checks, so
 even RSS contexts unused by any RXNFC rule must fit the channel count.

Ethtool ntuple filters with FLOW_RSS were originally defined as adding
 the base queue ID (ring_cookie) to the value from the indirection table,
 so that the same table could distribute over more than one set of queues
 when used by different filters.
However, some drivers / hardware ignore the ring_cookie, and simply use
 the indirection table entries as queue IDs directly.  Thus, for drivers
 which have not opted in by setting ethtool_ops.cap_rss_rxnfc_adds to
 declare that they support the original (addition) semantics, reject in
 ethtool_set_rxnfc any filter which combines FLOW_RSS and a nonzero ring.
(For a ring_cookie of zero, both behaviours are equivalent.)
Set the cap bit in sfc, as it is known to support this feature.

-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and we are
getting ready to enable it, globally.

Change the type of the middle struct member currently causing trouble from
`struct ethtool_link_settings` to `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.

Additionally, update the type of some variables in various functions that
don't access the flexible-array member, changing them to the newly created
`struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`. These changes are needed because the
type of the conflicting middle members changed. So, those instances that
expect the type to be `struct ethtool_link_settings` should be adjusted to
the newly created type `struct ethtool_link_settings_hdr`.

Also, adjust variable declarations to follow the reverse xmas tree
convention.

Fix 3338 of the following -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end warnings:

include/linux/ethtool.h:214:38: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

<title>ethtool: rss: prevent rss ctx deletion when in use</title>

ntuple filters can specify an rss context to use for packet hashing
and queue selection. When a filter is referencing an rss context, it
should be invalid for that context to be deleted. A list of active
ntuple filters and their associated rss contexts can be compiled by
querying a device's ethtool_ops.get_rxnfc. This patch checks to see if
any ntuple filters are referencing an rss context during context
deletion, and prevents the deletion if the requested context is still
in use.

<title>net: ethtool: Add support for writing firmware blocks using EPL payload</title>

In the CMIS specification for pluggable modules, LPL (Local Payload) and
EPL (Extended Payload) are two types of data payloads used for managing
various functions and features of the module.

EPL payloads are used for more complex and extensive management
functions that require a larger amount of data, so writing firmware
blocks using EPL is much more efficient.

Currently, only LPL payload is supported for writing firmware blocks to
the module.

Add support for writing firmware block using EPL payload, both to
support modules that supports only EPL write mechanism, and to optimize
the flashing process of modules that support LPL and EPL.
