[ Upstream commit 910c4788d6155b2202ec88273376cd7ecdc24f0a ]

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.

[ Upstream commit a699781c79ecf6cfe67fb00a0331b4088c7c8466 ]

A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or removal, attempting to
read device state when the device is not actually present. eg:

     [exception RIP: qed_get_current_link+17]
  #8 [ffffb9e4f2907c48] qede_get_link_ksettings at ffffffffc07a994a [qede]

 #10 [ffffb9e4f2907d38] __ethtool_get_link_ksettings at ffffffff992b04e4

 crash&gt; struct net_device.state ffff9a9d21336000
    state = 5,

state 5 is __LINK_STATE_START (0b1) and __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER (0b100).
The device is not present, note lack of __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10).

This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb65
("net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show").

There are many other callers of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which
don't have a device presence check.

Move this check into ethtool to protect all callers.

[ Upstream commit cbeb989e41f4094f54bec2cecce993f26f547bea ]

The default dump handler needs to clear ret before returning.
Otherwise if the last interface returns an inconsequential
error this error will propagate to user space.

This may confuse user space (ethtool CLI seems to ignore it,
but YNL doesn't). It will also terminate the dump early
for mutli-skb dump, because netlink core treats EOPNOTSUPP
as a real error.

This reverts commit 108a36d07c01edbc5942d27c92494d1c6e4d45a0.

It was reported that this fix breaks the possibility to remove existing WoL
flags. For example:
~$ ethtool lan2
...
        Supports Wake-on: pg
        Wake-on: d
...
~$ ethtool -s lan2 wol gp
~$ ethtool lan2
...
        Wake-on: pg
...
~$ ethtool -s lan2 wol d
~$ ethtool lan2
...
        Wake-on: pg
...

This worked correctly before this commit because we were always updating
a zero bitmap (since commit 6699170376ab ("ethtool: fix application of
verbose no_mask bitset"), that is) so that the rest was left zero
naturally. But now the 1-&gt;0 change (old_val is true, bit not present in
netlink nest) no longer works.

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 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 val will
always differ to the new val.

Fix it by adding a new temporary variable which save the state of the old
bitmap.

<title>ethtool: plca: fix plca enable data type while parsing the value</title>

The ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_ENABLED data type is u8. But while parsing the
value from the attribute, nla_get_u32() is used in the plca_update_sint()
function instead of nla_get_u8(). So plca_cfg.enabled variable is updated
with some garbage value instead of 0 or 1 and always enables plca even
though plca is disabled through ethtool application. This bug has been
fixed by parsing the values based on the attributes type in the policy.

<title>ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to .prepare_data</title>

We had a number of bugs in the past because developers forgot
to fully test dumps, which pass NULL as info to .prepare_data.
.prepare_data implementations would try to access info-&gt;extack
leading to a null-deref.

Now that dumps and notifications can access struct genl_info
we can pass it in, and remove the info null checks.
