ethtool: add netlink based get rss support

2022-12-06T01:25:00+00:00

Add netlink based support for "ethtool -x  [context x]"
command by implementing ETHTOOL_MSG_RSS_GET netlink message.
This is equivalent to functionality provided via ETHTOOL_GRSSH
in ioctl path. It sends RSS table, hash key and hash function
of an interface to user space.

This patch implements existing functionality available
in ioctl path and enables addition of new RSS context
based parameters in future.

ethtool: add interface to interact with Ethernet Power Equipment

2022-10-04T00:33:57+00:00

Add interface to support Power Sourcing Equipment. At current step it
provides generic way to address all variants of PSE devices as defined
in IEEE 802.3-2018 but support only objects specified for IEEE 802.3-2018 104.4
PoDL Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).

Currently supported and mandatory objects are:
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.2 aPoDLPSEAdminState
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl

This is minimal interface needed to control PSE on each separate
ethernet port but it provides not all mandatory objects specified in
IEEE 802.3-2018.

Since "PoDL PSE" and "PSE" have similar names, but some different values
I decide to not merge them and keep separate naming schema. This should
allow as to be as close to IEEE 802.3 spec as possible and avoid name
conflicts in the future.

This implementation is connected to PHYs instead of MACs because PSE
auto classification can potentially interfere with PHY auto negotiation.
So, may be some extra PHY related initialization will be needed.

With WIP version of ethtools interaction with PSE capable link looks
as following:

$ ip l
...
5: t1l1@eth0:  ..
...

$ ethtool --show-pse t1l1
PSE attributs for t1l1:
PoDL PSE Admin State: disabled
PoDL PSE Power Detection Status: disabled

$ ethtool --set-pse t1l1 podl-pse-admin-control enable
$ ethtool --show-pse t1l1
PSE attributs for t1l1:
PoDL PSE Admin State: enabled
PoDL PSE Power Detection Status: delivering power

ethtool: report missing header via ext_ack in the default handler

2022-08-30T10:20:43+00:00

The actual presence check for the header is in
ethnl_parse_header_dev_get() but it's a few layers in,
and already has a ton of arguments so let's just pick
the low hanging fruit and check for missing header in
the default request handler.

genetlink: start to validate reserved header bytes

2022-08-29T11:47:15+00:00

We had historically not checked that genlmsghdr.reserved
is 0 on input which prevents us from using those precious
bytes in the future.

One use case would be to extend the cmd field, which is
currently just 8 bits wide and 256 is not a lot of commands
for some core families.

To make sure that new families do the right thing by default
put the onus of opting out of validation on existing families.

net: rename reference+tracking helpers

2022-06-10T04:52:55+00:00

Netdev reference helpers have a dev_ prefix for historic
reasons. Renaming the old helpers would be too much churn
but we can rename the tracking ones which are relatively
recent and should be the default for new code.

Rename:
 dev_hold_track()    -> netdev_hold()
 dev_put_track()     -> netdev_put()
 dev_replace_track() -> netdev_ref_replace()

netlink: do not allocate a device refcount tracker in ethnl_default_notify()

2022-01-05T17:50:06+00:00

As reported by Johannes, the tracker allocated in
ethnl_default_notify() is not really needed, as this
function is not expected to change a device reference count.

ethtool: Remove redundant ret assignments

2021-12-30T13:29:14+00:00

The assignment here will be overwritten, so it should be deleted

ethtool: always write dev in ethnl_parse_header_dev_get

2021-12-15T15:09:24+00:00

Commit 0976b888a150 ("ethtool: fix null-ptr-deref on ref tracker")
made the write to req_info.dev conditional, but as Eric points out
in a different follow up the structure is often allocated on the
stack and not kzalloc()'d so seems safer to always write the dev,
in case it's garbage on input.
