IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99 defines a MAC Merge sublayer which contains an
Express MAC and a Preemptible MAC. Both MACs are hidden to higher and
lower layers and visible as a single MAC (packet classification to eMAC
or pMAC on TX is done based on priority; classification on RX is done
based on SFD).

For devices which support a MAC Merge sublayer, it is desirable to
retrieve individual packet counters from the eMAC and the pMAC, as well
as aggregate statistics (their sum).

Introduce a new ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC attribute which is part of the
policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_STATS_GET and, and an ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS_SRC
which is part of the policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_PAUSE_GET (accepted when
ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS is set in the common ethtool header). Both of these
take values from enum ethtool_mac_stats_src, defaulting to "aggregate"
in the absence of the attribute.

Existing drivers do not need to pay attention to this enum which was
added to all driver-facing structures, just the ones which report the
MAC merge layer as supported.

<title>net: ethtool: add support for MAC Merge layer</title>

<content type='text'>
The MAC merge sublayer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99) is one of 2
specifications (the other being Frame Preemption; IEEE 802.1Q-2018
clause 6.7.2), which work together to minimize latency caused by frame
interference at TX. The overall goal of TSN is for normal traffic and
traffic with a bounded deadline to be able to cohabitate on the same L2
network and not bother each other too much.

The standards achieve this (partly) by introducing the concept of
preemptible traffic, i.e. Ethernet frames that have a custom value for
the Start-of-Frame-Delimiter (SFD), and these frames can be fragmented
and reassembled at L2 on a link-local basis. The non-preemptible frames
are called express traffic, they are transmitted using a normal SFD, and
they can preempt preemptible frames, therefore having lower latency,
which can matter at lower (100 Mbps) link speeds, or at high MTUs (jumbo
frames around 9K). Preemption is not recursive, i.e. a P frame cannot
preempt another P frame. Preemption also does not depend upon priority,
or otherwise said, an E frame with prio 0 will still preempt a P frame
with prio 7.

In terms of implementation, the standards talk about the presence of an
express MAC (eMAC) which handles express traffic, and a preemptible MAC
(pMAC) which handles preemptible traffic, and these MACs are multiplexed
on the same MII by a MAC merge layer.

To support frame preemption, the definition of the SFD was generalized
to SMD (Start-of-mPacket-Delimiter), where an mPacket is essentially an
Ethernet frame fragment, or a complete frame. Stations unaware of an SMD
value different from the standard SFD will treat P frames as error
frames. To prevent that from happening, a negotiation process is
defined.

On RX, packets are dispatched to the eMAC or pMAC after being filtered
by their SMD. On TX, the eMAC/pMAC classification decision is taken by
the 802.1Q spec, based on packet priority (each of the 8 user priority
values may have an admin-status of preemptible or express).

The MAC Merge layer and the Frame Preemption parameters have some degree
of independence in terms of how software stacks are supposed to deal
with them. The activation of the MM layer is supposed to be controlled
by an LLDP daemon (after it has been communicated that the link partner
also supports it), after which a (hardware-based or not) verification
handshake takes place, before actually enabling the feature. So the
process is intended to be relatively plug-and-play. Whereas FP settings
are supposed to be coordinated across a network using something
approximating NETCONF.

The support contained here is exclusively for the 802.3 (MAC Merge)
portions and not for the 802.1Q (Frame Preemption) parts. This API is
sufficient for an LLDP daemon to do its job. The FP adminStatus variable
from 802.1Q is outside the scope of an LLDP daemon.

I have taken a few creative licenses and augmented the Linux kernel UAPI
compared to the standard managed objects recommended by IEEE 802.3.
These are:

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_PMAC_ENABLED: According to Figure 99-6: Receive
  Processing state diagram, a MAC Merge layer is always supposed to be
  able to receive P frames. However, this implies keeping the pMAC
  powered on, which will consume needless power in applications where FP
  will never be used. If LLDP is used, the reception of an Additional
  Ethernet Capabilities TLV from the link partner is sufficient
  indication that the pMAC should be enabled. So my proposal is that in
  Linux, we keep the pMAC turned off by default and that user space
  turns it on when needed.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_ENABLED: The IEEE managed object is called
  aMACMergeVerifyDisableTx. I opted for consistency (positive logic) in
  the boolean netlink attributes offered, so this is also positive here.
  Other than the meaning being reversed, they correspond to the same
  thing.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_MAX_VERIFY_TIME: I found it most reasonable for a LLDP
  daemon to maximize the verifyTime variable (delay between SMD-V
  transmissions), to maximize its chances that the LP replies. IEEE says
  that the verifyTime can range between 1 and 128 ms, but the NXP ENETC
  stupidly keeps this variable in a 7 bit register, so the maximum
  supported value is 127 ms. I could have chosen to hardcode this in the
  LLDP daemon to a lower value, but why not let the kernel expose its
  supported range directly.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_TX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: the standard managed object is called
  aMACMergeAddFragSize, and expresses the "additional" fragment size
  (on top of ETH_ZLEN), whereas this expresses the absolute value of the
  fragment size.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_RX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: there doesn't appear to exist a managed
  object mandated by the standard, but user space clearly needs to know
  what is the minimum supported fragment size of our local receiver,
  since LLDP must advertise a value no lower than that.

<title>ethtool: doc: clarify what drivers can implement in their get_drvinfo()</title>

<content type='text'>
Many of the drivers which implement ethtool_ops::get_drvinfo() will
prints the .driver, .version or .bus_info of struct ethtool_drvinfo.
To have a glance of current state, do:

  $ git grep -W "get_drvinfo(struct"

Printing in those three fields is useless because:

  - since [1], the driver version should be the kernel version (at
    least for upstream drivers). Arguably, out of tree drivers might
    still want to set a custom version, but out of tree is not our
    focus.

  - since [2], the core is able to provide default values for .driver
    and .bus_info.

In summary, drivers may provide .fw_version and .erom_version, the
rest is expected to be done by the core.

In struct ethtool_ops doc from linux/ethtool: rephrase field
get_drvinfo() doc to discourage developers from implementing this
callback.

In struct ethtool_drvinfo doc from uapi/linux/ethtool.h: remove the
paragraph mentioning what drivers should do. Rationale: no need to
repeat what is already written in struct ethtool_ops doc. But add a
note that .fw_version and .erom_version are driver defined.

Also update the dummy driver and simply remove the callback in order
not to confuse the newcomers: most of the drivers will not need this
callback function any more.

<title>ethtool: add interface to interact with Ethernet Power Equipment</title>

<id>18ff0bcda6d1dd3d53b4ce3f03e61bf1a648f960</id>
<content type='text'>
Add interface to support Power Sourcing Equipment. At current step it
provides generic way to address all variants of PSE devices as defined
in IEEE 802.3-2018 but support only objects specified for IEEE 802.3-2018 104.4
PoDL Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE).

Currently supported and mandatory objects are:
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.3 aPoDLPSEPowerDetectionStatus
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.1.2 aPoDLPSEAdminState
IEEE 802.3-2018 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl

This is minimal interface needed to control PSE on each separate
ethernet port but it provides not all mandatory objects specified in
IEEE 802.3-2018.

Since "PoDL PSE" and "PSE" have similar names, but some different values
I decide to not merge them and keep separate naming schema. This should
allow as to be as close to IEEE 802.3 spec as possible and avoid name
conflicts in the future.

This implementation is connected to PHYs instead of MACs because PSE
auto classification can potentially interfere with PHY auto negotiation.
So, may be some extra PHY related initialization will be needed.

With WIP version of ethtools interaction with PSE capable link looks
as following:

$ ip l
...
5: t1l1@eth0: &lt;BROADCAST,MULTICAST&gt; ..
...

$ ethtool --show-pse t1l1
PSE attributs for t1l1:
PoDL PSE Admin State: disabled
PoDL PSE Power Detection Status: disabled

$ ethtool --set-pse t1l1 podl-pse-admin-control enable
$ ethtool --show-pse t1l1
PSE attributs for t1l1:
PoDL PSE Admin State: enabled
PoDL PSE Power Detection Status: delivering power

<title>net: phy: Add support for rate matching</title>

<id>0c3e10cb44232833a50cb8e3e784c432906a60c1</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds support for rate matching (also known as rate adaptation) to
the phy subsystem. The general idea is that the phy interface runs at
one speed, and the MAC throttles the rate at which it sends packets to
the link speed. There's a good overview of several techniques for
achieving this at [1]. This patch adds support for three: pause-frame
based (such as in Aquantia phys), CRS-based (such as in 10PASS-TS and
2BASE-TL), and open-loop-based (such as in 10GBASE-W).

This patch makes a few assumptions and a few non assumptions about the
types of rate matching available. First, it assumes that different phys
may use different forms of rate matching. Second, it assumes that phys
can use rate matching for any of their supported link speeds (e.g. if a
phy supports 10BASE-T and XGMII, then it can adapt XGMII to 10BASE-T).
Third, it does not assume that all interface modes will use the same
form of rate matching. Fourth, it does not assume that all phy devices
will support rate matching (even if some do). Relaxing or strengthening
these (non-)assumptions could result in a different API. For example, if
all interface modes were assumed to use the same form of rate matching,
then a bitmask of interface modes supportting rate matching would
suffice.

For some better visibility into the process, the current rate matching
mode is exposed as part of the ethtool ksettings. For the moment, only
read access is supported. I'm not sure what userspace might want to
configure yet (disable it altogether, disable just one mode, specify the
mode to use, etc.). For the moment, since only pause-based rate
adaptation support is added in the next few commits, rate matching can
be disabled altogether by adjusting the advertisement.

802.3 calls this feature "rate adaptation" in clause 49 (10GBASE-R) and
"rate matching" in clause 61 (10PASS-TL and 2BASE-TS). Aquantia also calls
this feature "rate adaptation". I chose "rate matching" because it is
shorter, and because Russell doesn't think "adaptation" is correct in this
context.

<title>treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members</title>

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . &gt; output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
  ...
  T1 member;
  T2 array[
- 0
  ];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
		strcpy(de3-&gt;name, ".");
		^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.
