<id>urn:sha1:743ff02152bc46bb4a2f2a49ec891c87eba6ab5b</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit f946270d05c2 ("ethtool: netlink: always pass genl_info to
.prepare_data") the info argument of prepare_data callbacks is never
NULL. Remove checks present in callback implementations.

<content type='text'>
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-&gt;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.

<title>ethtool: use ethnl_parse_header_dev_put()</title>

<content type='text'>
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().

<title>ethtool: link up ethnl_header_policy as a nested policy</title>

<content type='text'>
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/*

<title>ethtool: trim policy tables</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ff419afa43109e05d42d75629f21d9fd87f635ea</id>
<content type='text'>
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

Similarly to get commands wire up the policies of set commands

<id>urn:sha1:4f30974feb9667f12e224b195b551a170fcc8723</id>
<content type='text'>
Wire up policies for get commands in struct nla_policy of the ethtool
family. Make use of genetlink code attr validation and parsing, as well
as allow dumping policies to user space.

For every ETHTOOL_MSG_*_GET:
 - add 'ethnl_' prefix to policy name
 - add extern declaration in net/ethtool/netlink.h
 - wire up the policy &amp; attr in ethtool_genl_ops[].
 - remove .request_policy and .max_attr from ethnl_request_ops.

Obviously core only records the first "layer" of parsed attrs
so we still need to parse the sub-attrs of the nested header
attribute.

v2:
 - merge of patches 1 and 2 from v1
 - remove stray empty lines in ops
 - also remove .max_attr

This code generates a Smatch warning:

    net/ethtool/linkinfo.c:143 ethnl_set_linkinfo()
    warn: variable dereferenced before check 'info' (see line 119)

Fortunately, the "info" pointer is never NULL so the check can be
removed.
