LINKSTATE_GET
=============
Requests link state information. At the moment, only link up/down flag (as
provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided but some future
extensions are planned (e.g. link down reason). This request does not have any
attributes.
Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have
any attributes.
Request contents:
@ -457,16 +458,135 @@ Kernel response contents:
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` bool link state (up/down)
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_SQI`` u32 Current Signal Quality Index
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_SQI_MAX`` u32 Max support SQI value
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` u8 link extended state
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` u8 link extended substate
==================================== ====== ============================
For most NIC drivers, the value of ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` returns
carrier flag provided by ``netif_carrier_ok()`` but there are drivers which
define their own handler.
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` are
optional values. ethtool core can provide either both
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE``,
or only ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE``, or none of them.
``LINKSTATE_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
devices supporting the request).
Link extended states:
================================================ ============================================
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_AUTONEG`` States relating to the autonegotiation or
issues therein
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_LINK_TRAINING_FAILURE`` Failure during link training
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_LINK_LOGICAL_MISMATCH`` Logical mismatch in physical coding sublayer
or forward error correction sublayer
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_BAD_SIGNAL_INTEGRITY`` Signal integrity issues
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_NO_CABLE`` No cable connected
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_CABLE_ISSUE`` Failure is related to cable,
e.g., unsupported cable
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_EEPROM_ISSUE`` Failure is related to EEPROM, e.g., failure
during reading or parsing the data
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_CALIBRATION_FAILURE`` Failure during calibration algorithm
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_POWER_BUDGET_EXCEEDED`` The hardware is not able to provide the
power required from cable or module
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_OVERHEAT`` The module is overheated

send ready signal
after training
process
