<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>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=0c3e10cb44232833a50cb8e3e784c432906a60c1'/>
<id>urn:sha1:0c3e10cb44232833a50cb8e3e784c432906a60c1</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>

<id>urn:sha1:94dfc73e7cf4a31da66b8843f0b9283ddd6b8381</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>ethtool: Add transceiver module extended state</title>

<content type='text'>
Add an extended state and sub-state to describe link issues related to
transceiver modules.

The 'ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_MODULE_CMIS_NOT_READY' extended sub-state
tells user space that port is unable to gain a carrier because the CMIS
Module State Machine did not reach the ModuleReady (Fully Operational)
state. For example, if the module is stuck at ModuleLowPwr or
ModuleFault state. In case of the latter, user space can read the fault
reason from the module's EEPROM and potentially reset it.

<title>ethtool: Add ability to control transceiver modules' power mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:353407d917b2d87cd8104a0453d012439c6ca4be</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a pair of new ethtool messages, 'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_SET' and
'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_GET', that can be used to control transceiver
modules parameters and retrieve their status.

The first parameter to control is the power mode of the module. It is
only relevant for paged memory modules, as flat memory modules always
operate in low power mode.

When a paged memory module is in low power mode, its power consumption
is reduced to the minimum, the management interface towards the host is
available and the data path is deactivated.

User space can choose to put modules that are not currently in use in
low power mode and transition them to high power mode before putting the
associated ports administratively up. This is useful for user space that
favors reduced power consumption and lower temperatures over reduced
link up times. In QSFP-DD modules the transition from low power mode to
high power mode can take a few seconds and this transition is only
expected to get longer with future / more complex modules.

User space can control the power mode of the module via the power mode
policy attribute ('ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY'). Possible
values:

* high: Module is always in high power mode.

* auto: Module is transitioned by the host to high power mode when the
  first port using it is put administratively up and to low power mode
  when the last port using it is put administratively down.

The operational power mode of the module is available to user space via
the 'ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE' attribute. The attribute is not
reported to user space when a module is not plugged-in.

The user API is designed to be generic enough so that it could be used
for modules with different memory maps (e.g., SFF-8636, CMIS).

The only implementation of the device driver API in this series is for a
MAC driver (mlxsw) where the module is controlled by the device's
firmware, but it is designed to be generic enough so that it could also
be used by implementations where the module is controlled by the CPU.

CMIS testing

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : Off

The module is not in low power mode, as it is not forced by hardware
(LowPwrAllowRequestHW is off) or by software (LowPwrRequestSW is off).

The power mode can be queried from the kernel. In case
LowPwrAllowRequestHW was on, the kernel would need to take into account
the state of the LowPwrRequestHW signal, which is not visible to user
space.

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : On

Put the associated port administratively up which will instruct the host
to transition the module to high power mode:

 # ip link set dev swp11 up

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:

 power-mode high

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m swp11

host to transition the module to low power mode:

 # ip link set dev swp11 down

The module is not in low power mode, as it is not forced by hardware
(Power override is on) or by software (Power set is off).

The power mode can be queried from the kernel. In case Power override
was off, the kernel would need to take into account the state of the

ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_BSI_SERDES_REFERENCE_CLOCK_LOST means the input
external clock signal for SerDes is too weak or lost.

ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_BSI_SERDES_ALOS means the received signal for
SerDes is too weak because analog loss of signal.

Th_strings arrays netdev_features_strings, tunable_strings, and
phy_tunable_strings has been moved to file net/ethtool/common.c.
So fixes the comment.

Most devices maintain RMON (RFC 2819) stats - particularly
the "histogram" of packets received by size. Unlike other
RFCs which duplicate IEEE stats, the short/oversized frame
counters in RMON don't seem to match IEEE stats 1-to-1 either,
so expose those, too. Do not expose basic packet, CRC errors
etc - those are already otherwise covered.

Because standard defines packet ranges only up to 1518, and
everything above that should theoretically be "oversized"
- devices often create their own ranges.

Going beyond what the RFC defines - expose the "histogram"
in the Tx direction (assume for now that the ranges will
be the same).
