net: ethtool: netlink: Allow NULL nlattrs when getting a phy_device

2025-03-13T12:02:08+00:00

[ Upstream commit 637399bf7e77797811adf340090b561a8f9d1213 ] ethnl_req_get_phydev() is used to lookup a phy_device, in the case an ethtool netlink command targets a specific phydev within a netdev's topology. It takes as a parameter a const struct nlattr *header that's used for error handling : if (!phydev) { NL_SET_ERR_MSG_ATTR(extack, header, "no phy matching phyindex"); return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV); } In the notify path after a ->set operation however, there's no request attributes available. The typical callsite for the above function looks like: phydev = ethnl_req_get_phydev(req_base, tb[ETHTOOL_A_XXX_HEADER], info->extack); So, when tb is NULL (such as in the ethnl notify path), we have a nice crash. It turns out that there's only the PLCA command that is in that case, as the other phydev-specific commands don't have a notification. This commit fixes the crash by passing the cmd index and the nlattr array separately, allowing NULL-checking it directly inside the helper.

net: ethtool: Introduce a command to list PHYs on an interface

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

As we have the ability to track the PHYs connected to a net_device through the link_topology, we can expose this list to userspace. This allows userspace to use these identifiers for phy-specific commands and take the decision of which PHY to target by knowing the link topology. Add PHY_GET and PHY_DUMP, which can be a filtered DUMP operation to list devices on only one interface.

net: ethtool: Allow passing a phy index for some commands

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

Some netlink commands are target towards ethernet PHYs, to control some of their features. As there's several such commands, add the ability to pass a PHY index in the ethnl request, which will populate the generic ethnl_req_info with the passed phy_index. Add a helper that netlink command handlers need to use to grab the targeted PHY from the req_info. This helper needs to hold rtnl_lock() while interacting with the PHY, as it may be removed at any point.

ethtool: rss: support skipping contexts during dump

2024-08-12T13:16:24+00:00

Applications may want to deal with dynamic RSS contexts only. So dumping context 0 will be counter-productive for them. Support starting the dump from a given context ID. Alternative would be to implement a dump flag to skip just context 0, not sure which is better... Reviewed-by: Edward Cree Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: rss: support dumping RSS contexts

2024-08-12T13:16:24+00:00

Now that we track RSS contexts in the core we can easily dump them. This is a major introspection improvement, as previously the only way to find all contexts would be to try all ids (of which there may be 2^32 - 1). Don't use the XArray iterators (like xa_for_each_start()) as they do not move the index past the end of the array once done, which caused multiple bugs in Netlink dumps in the past.

ethtool: Add ability to flash transceiver modules' firmware

2024-06-28T09:48:23+00:00

Add the ability to flash the modules' firmware by implementing the interface between the user space and the kernel. Example from a succeeding implementation: # ethtool --flash-module-firmware swp40 file test.bin Transceiver module firmware flashing started for device swp40 Transceiver module firmware flashing in progress for device swp40 Progress: 99% Transceiver module firmware flashing completed for device swp40 In addition, add infrastructure that allows modules to set socket-specific private data. This ensures that when a socket is closed from user space during the flashing process, the right socket halts sending notifications to user space until the work item is completed.

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.
