ethtool.h: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array member

2020-04-18T20:44:54Z

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.

net: ethtool: require drivers to set supported_coalesce_params

2020-03-18T03:56:58Z

Now that all in-tree drivers have been updated we can make the supported_coalesce_params mandatory. To save debugging time in case some driver was missed (or is out of tree) add a warning when netdev is registered with set_coalesce but without supported_coalesce_params.

net: hns: reject unsupported coalescing params

Set ethtool_ops->supported_coalesce_params to let the core reject unsupported coalescing parameters. This driver did not previously reject unsupported parameters. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: add infrastructure for centralized checking of coalescing parameters

2020-03-05T20:12:34Z

Linux supports 22 different interrupt coalescing parameters. No driver implements them all. Some drivers just ignore the ones they don't support, while others have to carry a long list of checks to reject unsupported settings. To simplify the drivers add the ability to specify inside ethtool_ops which parameters are supported and let the core reject attempts to set any other one. This commit makes the mechanism an opt-in, only drivers which set ethtool_opts->coalesce_types to a non-zero value will have the checks enforced. The same mask is used for global and per queue settings. v3: - move the (temporary) check if driver defines types earlier (Michal) - rename used_types -> nonzero_params, and coalesce_types -> supported_coalesce_params (Alex) - use EOPNOTSUPP instead of EINVAL (Andrew, Michal) Leaving the long series of ifs for now, it seems nice to be able to grep for the field and flag names. This will probably have to be revisited once netlink support lands.

ethtool: Factored out similar ethtool link settings for virtual devices to core

2020-03-01T05:48:54Z

Three virtual devices (ibmveth, virtio_net, and netvsc) all have similar code to set link settings and validate ethtool command. To eliminate duplication of code, it is factored out into core/ethtool.c. Signed-off-by: Cris Forno Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: ethtool: Document get_rxfh_context and set_rxfh_context ethtool ops

2019-05-25T23:33:36Z

ethtool ops get_rxfh_context and set_rxfh_context are used to create, remove and access parameters associated to RSS contexts, in a similar fashion to get_rxfh and set_rxfh. Add a small descritopn of these callbacks in the struct ethtool_ops doc. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

ethtool: add ethtool_rx_flow_spec to flow_rule structure translator

2019-02-06T18:38:26Z

This patch adds a function to translate the ethtool_rx_flow_spec structure to the flow_rule representation. This allows us to reuse code from the driver side given that both flower and ethtool_rx_flow interfaces use the same representation. This patch also includes support for the flow type flags FLOW_EXT, FLOW_MAC_EXT and FLOW_RSS. The ethtool_rx_flow_spec_input wrapper structure is used to convey the rss_context field, that is away from the ethtool_rx_flow_spec structure, and the ethtool_rx_flow_spec structure.
