net: ethtool: move checks before rtnl_lock() in ethnl_set_rings

2022-04-15T18:41:45+00:00

Currently these two checks in ethnl_set_rings are added after rtnl_lock() which will do useless works if the request is invalid. So this patch moves these checks before the rtnl_lock() to avoid these costs. Signed-off-by: Jie Wang Signed-off-by: Guangbin Huang Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: ethtool: extend ringparam set/get APIs for tx_push

2022-04-15T18:41:35+00:00

Currently tx push is a standard driver feature which controls use of a fast path descriptor push. So this patch extends the ringparam APIs and data structures to support set/get tx push by ethtool -G/g. Signed-off-by: Jie Wang Signed-off-by: Guangbin Huang Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

ethtool: add support to set/get completion queue event size

2022-02-24T04:33:05+00:00

Add support to set completion queue event size via ethtool -G parameter and get it via ethtool -g parameter. ~ # ./ethtool -G eth0 cqe-size 512 ~ # ./ethtool -g eth0 Ring parameters for eth0: Pre-set maximums: RX: 1048576 RX Mini: n/a RX Jumbo: n/a TX: 1048576 Current hardware settings: RX: 256 RX Mini: n/a RX Jumbo: n/a TX: 4096 RX Buf Len: 2048 CQE Size: 128 Signed-off-by: Subbaraya Sundeep Signed-off-by: Sunil Goutham Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

ethtool: add header/data split indication

2022-01-28T14:43:47+00:00

For applications running on a mix of platforms it's useful to have a clear indication whether host's NIC supports the geometry requirements of TCP zero-copy. TCP zero-copy Rx requires data to be neatly placed into memory pages. Most NICs can't do that. This patch is adding GET support only, since the NICs I work with either always have the feature enabled or enable it whenever MTU is set to jumbo. In other words I don't need SET. But adding set should be trivial. (The only note on SET is that we will likely want the setting to be "sticky" and use 0 / `unknown` to reset it back to driver default.)

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 ringparam setting/getting API with rx_buf_len

2021-11-22T12:31:49+00:00

Add two new parameters kernel_ringparam and extack for .get_ringparam and .set_ringparam to extend more ring params through netlink. Signed-off-by: Hao Chen Signed-off-by: Guangbin Huang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: add support to set/get rx buf len via ethtool

2021-11-22T12:31:48+00:00

Add support to set rx buf len via ethtool -G parameter and get rx buf len via ethtool -g parameter. Signed-off-by: Hao Chen Signed-off-by: Guangbin Huang Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

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. Miller

ethtool: wire up set policies to ops

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

Similarly to get commands wire up the policies of set commands to get parsing by the core and policy dumps. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
