ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to .prepare_data

2023-08-15T22:01:03+00:00

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->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.

net: ethtool: coalesce: try to make user settings stick twice

2023-04-25T01:09:49+00:00

SET_COALESCE may change operation mode and parameters in one call. Changing operation mode may cause the driver to reset the parameter values to what is a reasonable default for new operation mode. Since driver does not know which parameters come from user and which are echoed back from ->get, driver may ignore the parameters when switching operation modes. This used to be inevitable for ioctl() but in netlink we know which parameters are actually specified by the user. We could inform which parameters were set by the user but this would lead to a lot of code duplication in the drivers. Instead try to call the drivers twice if both mode and params are changed. The set method already checks if any params need updating so in case the driver did the right thing the first time around - there will be no second call to it's ->set method (only an extra call to ->get()). For mlx5 for example before this patch we'd see: # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \ tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123 Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 3 rx-frames: 32 tx-usecs: 16 tx-frames: 32 [...] After the change: # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on # ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \ tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123 Adaptive RX: off TX: off rx-usecs: 123 rx-frames: 32 tx-usecs: 123 tx-frames: 32 [...] This only works for netlink, so it's a small discrepancy between netlink and ioctl(). Since we anticipate most users to move to netlink I believe it's worth making their lives easier.

ethtool: add tx aggregation parameters

2023-01-13T10:23:52+00:00

Add the following ethtool tx aggregation parameters: ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_BYTES Maximum size in bytes of a tx aggregated block of frames. ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_FRAMES Maximum number of frames that can be aggregated into a block. ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_TIME_USECS Time in usecs after the first packet arrival in an aggregated block for the block to be sent. Signed-off-by: Daniele Palmas Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: use ethnl_parse_header_dev_put()

2021-12-15T10:27:47+00:00

It seems I missed that most ethnl_parse_header_dev_get() callers declare an on-stack struct ethnl_req_info, and that they simply call dev_put(req_info.dev) when about to return. Add ethnl_parse_header_dev_put() helper to properly untrack reference taken by ethnl_parse_header_dev_get().

ethtool: extend coalesce setting uAPI with CQE mode

2021-08-24T14:38:29+00:00

In order to support more coalesce parameters through netlink, add two new parameter kernel_coal and extack for .set_coalesce and .get_coalesce, then some extra info can return to user with the netlink API. Signed-off-by: Yufeng Mo Signed-off-by: Huazhong Tan Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

ethtool: add two coalesce attributes for CQE mode

2021-08-24T14:38:28+00:00

Currently, there are many drivers who support CQE mode configuration, some configure it as a fixed when initialized, some provide an interface to change it by ethtool private flags. In order to make it more generic, add two new 'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX' and 'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX' coalesce attributes, then these parameters can be accessed by ethtool netlink coalesce uAPI. Also add an new structure kernel_ethtool_coalesce, then the new parameter can be added into this struct. Signed-off-by: Yufeng Mo Signed-off-by: Huazhong Tan Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

ethtool: link up ethnl_header_policy as a nested policy

2020-10-06T13:25:55+00:00

To get the most out of parsing by the core, and to allow dumping full policies we need to specify which policy applies to nested attrs. For headers it's ethnl_header_policy. $ sed -i 's@$ETHTOOL_A_.*HEADER\].*=$ { .type = NLA_NESTED },@\1\n\t\tNLA_POLICY_NESTED(ethnl_header_policy),@' net/ethtool/* Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S.

ethtool: trim policy tables

2020-10-06T13:25:55+00:00

Since ethtool uses strict attribute validation there's no need to initialize all attributes in policy tables. 0 is NLA_UNSPEC which is going to be rejected. Remove the NLA_REJECTs. Similarly attributes above maxattrs are rejected, so there's no need to always size the policy tables to ETHTOOL_A_..._MAX. v2: - new patch Suggested-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S.
