ethtool: Extend cable testing interface with result source information

2024-08-26T16:33:58+00:00

Extend the ethtool netlink cable testing interface by adding support for
specifying the source of cable testing results. This allows users to
differentiate between results obtained through different diagnostic
methods.

For example, some TI 10BaseT1L PHYs provide two variants of cable
diagnostics: Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) and Active Link Cable
Diagnostic (ALCD). By introducing `ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_RESULT_SRC` and
`ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_FAULT_LENGTH_SRC` attributes, this update enables
drivers to indicate whether the result was derived from TDR or ALCD,
improving the clarity and utility of diagnostic information.

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: Add new result codes for TDR diagnostics

2024-08-16T17:16:16+00:00

Add new result codes to support TDR diagnostics in preparation for
Open Alliance 1000BaseT1 TDR support:

- ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_RESULT_CODE_NOISE: TDR not possible due to high noise
  level.
- ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_RESULT_CODE_RESOLUTION_NOT_POSSIBLE: TDR resolution not
  possible / out of distance.

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...

This patch expands the status information provided by ethtool for PSE c33
with available power limit and available power limit ranges. It also adds
a call to pse_ethtool_set_pw_limit() to configure the PSE control power

ethtool: Add an interface for flashing transceiver modules' firmware

2024-06-28T09:48:22+00:00

CMIS compliant modules such as QSFP-DD might be running a firmware that
can be updated in a vendor-neutral way by exchanging messages between
the host and the module as described in section 7.3.1 of revision 5.2 of
the CMIS standard.

Add a pair of new ethtool messages that allow:

* User space to trigger firmware update of transceiver modules

* The kernel to notify user space about the progress of the process

The user interface is designed to be asynchronous in order to avoid
RTNL being held for too long and to allow several modules to be
updated simultaneously. The interface is designed with CMIS compliant
modules in mind, but kept generic enough to accommodate future use
cases, if these arise.

ethtool: provide customized dim profile management

2024-06-26T00:15:06+00:00

The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers
excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly
in their dim profile list prerequisites.

Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device
implementation, making a one-size-fits-all parameter list impractical.
On Alibaba Cloud, the virtio DPU's performance under the default DIM
profile falls short of expectations, partly due to a mismatch in
parameter configuration.

I also noticed that ice/idpf/ena and other NICs have customized
profilelist or placed some restrictions on dim capabilities.

Motivated by this, I tried adding new params for "ethtool -C" that provides
a per-device control to modify and access a device's interrupt parameters.

Usage
========
The target NIC is named ethx.

Assume that ethx only declares support for rx profile setting
(with DIM_PROFILE_RX flag set in profile_flags) and supports modification
of usec and pkt fields.

1. Query the currently customized list of the device

$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec =   1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =  64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile:   n/a

2. Tune
$ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,n,n_3,3,n_4,4,n_n,5,n
"n" means do not modify this field.
$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec =   1, .pkts =   1, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   2, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   3, .pkts =   3, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec =   4, .pkts =   4, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts =   5, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile:   n/a

3. Hint
If the device does not support some type of customized dim profiles,
the corresponding "n/a" will display.

If the "n/a" field is being modified, -EOPNOTSUPP will be reported.
