Ido Schimmel 353407d917 ethtool: Add ability to control transceiver modules' power mode
Add a pair of new ethtool messages, 'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_SET' and
'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_GET', that can be used to control transceiver
modules parameters and retrieve their status.

The first parameter to control is the power mode of the module. It is
only relevant for paged memory modules, as flat memory modules always
operate in low power mode.

When a paged memory module is in low power mode, its power consumption
is reduced to the minimum, the management interface towards the host is
available and the data path is deactivated.

User space can choose to put modules that are not currently in use in
low power mode and transition them to high power mode before putting the
associated ports administratively up. This is useful for user space that
favors reduced power consumption and lower temperatures over reduced
link up times. In QSFP-DD modules the transition from low power mode to
high power mode can take a few seconds and this transition is only
expected to get longer with future / more complex modules.

User space can control the power mode of the module via the power mode
policy attribute ('ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY'). Possible
values:

* high: Module is always in high power mode.

* auto: Module is transitioned by the host to high power mode when the
  first port using it is put administratively up and to low power mode
  when the last port using it is put administratively down.

The operational power mode of the module is available to user space via
the 'ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE' attribute. The attribute is not
reported to user space when a module is not plugged-in.

The user API is designed to be generic enough so that it could be used
for modules with different memory maps (e.g., SFF-8636, CMIS).

The only implementation of the device driver API in this series is for a
MAC driver (mlxsw) where the module is controlled by the device's
firmware, but it is designed to be generic enough so that it could also
be used by implementations where the module is controlled by the CPU.

get_module_eeprom_by_page() allows network drivers to dump a part of
module's EEPROM specified by page and bank numbers along with offset and
length. It is effectively a netlink replacement for get_module_info()
and get_module_eeprom() pair, which is needed due to emergence of

Jakub Kicinski 1e5d1f69d9 ethtool: support FEC settings over netlink
Add FEC API to netlink.

This is not a 1-to-1 conversion.

FEC settings already depend on link modes to tell user which
modes are supported. Take this further an use link modes for
manual configuration. Old struct ethtool_fecparam is still
used to talk to the drivers, so we need to translate back
and forth. We can revisit the internal API if number of FEC
encodings starts to grow.

Enforce only one active FEC bit (by using a bit position
rather than another mask).

Jakub Kicinski c7d759eb7b ethtool: add tunnel info interface
Add an interface to report offloaded UDP ports via ethtool netlink.

Now that core takes care of tracking which UDP tunnel ports the NICs
are aware of we can quite easily export this information out to
user space.

The responsibility of writing the netlink dumps is split between
ethtool code and udp_tunnel_nic.c - since udp_tunnel module may
not always be loaded, yet we should always report the capabilities
of the NIC.

$ ethtool --show-tunnels eth0
Tunnel information for eth0:
  UDP port table 0:
    Size: 4
    Types: vxlan
    No entries
  UDP port table 1:
    Size: 4
    Types: geneve, vxlan-gpe
    Entries (1):
        port 1230, vxlan-gpe

   not set.

Michal Kubecek 10b518d4e6 ethtool: netlink bitset handling
The ethtool netlink code uses common framework for passing arbitrary
length bit sets to allow future extensions. A bitset can be a list (only
one bitmap) or can consist of value and mask pair (used e.g. when client
want to modify only some bits). A bitset can use one of two formats:
verbose (bit by bit) or compact.

Verbose format consists of bitset size (number of bits), list flag and
an array of bit nests, telling which bits are part of the list or which
bits are in the mask and which of them are to be set. In requests, bits
can be identified by index (position) or by name. In replies, kernel
provides both index and name. Verbose format is suitable for "one shot"
applications like standard ethtool command as it avoids the need to
either keep bit names (e.g. link modes) in sync with kernel or having to
add an extra roundtrip for string set request (e.g. for private flags).

Compact format uses one (list) or two (value/mask) arrays of 32-bit
words to store the bitmap(s). It is more suitable for long running
applications (ethtool in monitor mode or network management daemons)
which can retrieve the names once and then pass only compact bitmaps to
save space.

Userspace requests can use either format; ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS
flag in request header tells kernel which format to use in reply.
Notifications always use compact format.

As some code uses arrays of unsigned long for internal representation and
some arrays of u32 (or even a single u32), two sets of parse/compose
helpers are introduced. To avoid code duplication, helpers for unsigned
long arrays are implemented as wrappers around helpers for u32 arrays.
There are two reasons for this choice: (1) u32 arrays are more frequent in
ethtool code and (2) unsigned long array can be always interpreted as an
u32 array on little endian 64-bit and all 32-bit architectures while we
would need special handling for odd number of u32 words in the opposite
direction.

Michal Kubecek 2b4a8990b7 ethtool: introduce ethtool netlink interface
Basic genetlink and init infrastructure for the netlink interface, register
genetlink family "ethtool". Add CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK Kconfig option to
make the build optional. Add initial overall interface description into
Documentation/networking/ethtool-netlink.rst, further patches will add more
detailed information.

Michal Kubecek d44e13108b ethtool: move string arrays into common file
Introduce file net/ethtool/common.c for code shared by ioctl and netlink
ethtool interface. Move name tables of features, RSS hash functions,
tunables and PHY tunables into this file.

Michal Kubecek 9ce48e5a09 ethtool: move to its own directory
The ethtool netlink interface is going to be split into multiple files so
that it will be more convenient to put all of them in a separate directory
net/ethtool. Start by moving current ethtool.c with ioctl interface into
this directory and renaming it to ioctl.c.
