<content type='text'>
In order to support more coalesce parameters through netlink,
add two new parameter kernel_coal and extack for .set_coalesce
and .get_coalesce, then some extra info can return to user with
the netlink API.

<id>urn:sha1:029ee6b14356b94120bedb852dcdaefc0a282cf1</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, there are many drivers who support CQE mode configuration,
some configure it as a fixed when initialized, some provide an
interface to change it by ethtool private flags. In order to make it
more generic, add two new 'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX' and
'ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX' coalesce attributes, then these
parameters can be accessed by ethtool netlink coalesce uAPI.

Also add an new structure kernel_ethtool_coalesce, then the
new parameter can be added into this struct.

Julian reported that after d43c65b05b84 Coverity complains about a
missing check whether dev is NULL in ethnl_ops_complete().
There doesn't seem to be any valid case where dev could be NULL when
calling ethnl_ops_begin(), therefore return an error if dev is NULL.

redundant if statements.

If a network device is runtime-suspended then:
- network device may be flagged as detached and all ethtool ops (even if not
  accessing the device) will fail because netif_device_present() returns
  false
- ethtool ops may fail because device is not accessible (e.g. because being
  in D3 in case of a PCI device)

It may not be desirable that userspace can't use even simple ethtool ops
that not access the device if interface or link is down. To be more friendly
to userspace let's ensure that device is runtime-resumed when executing the
respective ethtool op in kernel.

If device is runtime-suspended and not accessible then it may be
flagged as not present. If checking whether device is present is
done too early then we may bail out before we have the chance to
runtime-resume the device. Therefore move this check to
ethnl_ops_begin(). This is in preparation of a follow-up patch
that tries to runtime-resume the device before executing ethtool
ops.

<title>dev_ioctl: pass SIOCDEVPRIVATE data separately</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a554bf96b49db4c208e305ae92546422e9489380</id>
<content type='text'>
The compat handlers for SIOCDEVPRIVATE are incorrect for any driver that
passes data as part of struct ifreq rather than as an ifr_data pointer, or
that passes data back this way, since the compat_ifr_data_ioctl() helper
overwrites the ifr_data pointer and does not copy anything back out.

Since all drivers using devprivate commands are now converted to the
new .ndo_siocdevprivate callback, fix this by adding the missing piece
and passing the pointer separately the whole way.

This further unifies the native and compat logic for socket ioctls,
as the new code now passes the correct pointer as well as the correct
data for both native and compat ioctls.

<title>ethtool: Fix rxnfc copy to user buffer overflow</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9b29a161ef38040f000dcf9ccf78e34495edfd55</id>
<content type='text'>
In the cited commit, copy_to_user() got called with the wrong pointer,
instead of passing the actual buffer ptr to copy from, a pointer to
the pointer got passed, which causes a buffer overflow calltrace to pop
up when executing "ethtool -x ethX".

Fix ethtool_rxnfc_copy_to_user() to use the rxnfc pointer as passed
to the function, instead of a pointer to it.

This fixes below call trace:
