net: phy: add phy_interface_copy()

2026-02-11T12:40:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit a571f08d3db215dd6ec294d8faac8cc4184bc4e4 ] Add a helper for copying PHY interface bitmasks. This will be used by the SFP bus code, which will then be moved to phylink in the subsequent patches.

net: phy: fix up const issues in to_mdio_device() and to_phy_device()

[ Upstream commit e9cb929670a1e98b592b30f03f06e9e20110f318 ] Both to_mdio_device() and to_phy_device() "throw away" the const pointer attribute passed to them and return a non-const pointer, which generally is not a good thing overall. Fix this up by using container_of_const() which was designed for this very problem.

net: ethtool: plumb PHY stats to PHY drivers

2025-03-13T12:02:07+00:00

[ Upstream commit b7a2c1fe6b55364e61b4b54b991eb43a47bb1104 ] Introduce support for standardized PHY statistics reporting in ethtool by extending the PHYLIB framework. Add the functions phy_ethtool_get_phy_stats() and phy_ethtool_get_link_ext_stats() to provide a consistent interface for retrieving PHY-level and link-specific statistics. These functions are used within the ethtool implementation to avoid direct access to the phy_device structure outside of the PHYLIB framework. A new structure, ethtool_phy_stats, is introduced to standardize PHY statistics such as packet counts, byte counts, and error counters. Drivers are updated to include callbacks for retrieving PHY and link-specific statistics, ensuring values are explicitly set only for supported fields, initialized with ETHTOOL_STAT_NOT_SET to avoid ambiguity.

net: phy: add helpers to handle sfp phy connect/disconnect

2024-08-23T12:04:34+00:00

There are a few PHY drivers that can handle SFP modules through their sfp_upstream_ops. Introduce Phylib helpers to keep track of connected SFP PHYs in a netdevice's namespace, by adding the SFP PHY to the upstream PHY's netdev's namespace. By doing so, these SFP PHYs can be enumerated and exposed to users, which will be able to use their capabilities.

net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation

2024-08-23T12:04:34+00:00

Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can be used. With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc. The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev->phydev, which in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC. Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration. The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list. The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached. This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP transceiver removal/insertion. The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to. The PHY index can be re-used for PHYs that are persistent.

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH: "Here is the big set of driver core changes for 6.11-rc1. Lots of stuff in here, with not a huge diffstat, but apis are evolving which required lots of files to be touched. Highlights of the changes in here are: - platform remove callback api final fixups (Uwe took many releases to get here, finally!) - Rust bindings for basic firmware apis and initial driver-core interactions. It's not all that useful for a "write a whole driver in rust" type of thing, but the firmware bindings do help out the phy rust drivers, and the driver core bindings give a solid base on which others can start their work. There is still a long way to go here before we have a multitude of rust drivers being added, but it's a great first step. - driver core const api changes. This reached across all bus types, and there are some fix-ups for some not-common bus types that linux-next and 0-day testing shook out. This work is being done to help make the rust bindings more safe, as well as the C code, moving toward the end-goal of allowing us to put driver structures into read-only memory.

net: Add struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info

2024-07-15T15:02:26+00:00

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct hwtstamp_config. Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h. The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

net: Change the API of PHY default timestamp to MAC

2024-07-15T15:02:26+00:00

Change the API to select MAC default time stamping instead of the PHY. Indeed the PHY is closer to the wire therefore theoretically it has less delay than the MAC timestamping but the reality is different. Due to lower time stamping clock frequency, latency in the MDIO bus and no PHC hardware synchronization between different PHY, the PHY PTP is often less precise than the MAC. The exception is for PHY designed specially for PTP case but these devices are not very widespread. For not breaking the compatibility default_timestamp flag has been introduced in phy_device that is set by the phy driver to know we are using the old API behavior.
