Currently tx push is a standard driver feature which controls use of a fast
path descriptor push. So this patch extends the ringparam APIs and data
structures to support set/get tx push by ethtool -G/g.

For applications running on a mix of platforms it's useful
to have a clear indication whether host's NIC supports the
geometry requirements of TCP zero-copy. TCP zero-copy Rx
requires data to be neatly placed into memory pages.
Most NICs can't do that.

This patch is adding GET support only, since the NICs
I work with either always have the feature enabled or
enable it whenever MTU is set to jumbo. In other words
I don't need SET. But adding set should be trivial.
(The only note on SET is that we will likely want
the setting to be "sticky" and use 0 / `unknown`
to reset it back to driver default.)

ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STAT_MAX is the MAX attribute id,
so we need to subtract non-stats and add one to
get a count (IOW -2+1 == -1).

Otherwise we'll see:

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

<id>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
============

 # ethtool -m swp11
 Identifier                                : 0x18 (QSFP-DD Double Density 8X Pluggable Transceiver (INF-8628))

 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
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy high
 power-mode high

Change the power mode policy to 'auto':

 # ethtool --set-module swp11 power-mode-policy auto

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy auto
 power-mode low

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m 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-policy auto
 power-mode high

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m swp11

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : Off

Put the associated port administratively down which will instruct the
host to transition the module to low power mode:

 # ip link set dev swp11 down

Query the power mode again:

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

 power-mode low

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

SFF-8636 testing

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

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
============

 # ethtool -m swp11
 Identifier                                : 0x18 (QSFP-DD Double Density 8X Pluggable Transceiver (INF-8628))
 ...
 Module State                              : 0x03 (ModuleReady)

 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
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy high
 power-mode high

Change the power mode policy to 'auto':

 # ethtool --set-module swp11 power-mode-policy auto

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy auto
 power-mode low

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m swp11
 Identifier                                : 0x18 (QSFP-DD Double Density 8X Pluggable Transceiver (INF-8628))
 ...
 Module State                              : 0x01 (ModuleLowPwr)

 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-policy auto
 power-mode high

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m swp11
 Identifier                                : 0x18 (QSFP-DD Double Density 8X Pluggable Transceiver (INF-8628))

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : Off

Put the associated port administratively down which will instruct the
host to transition the module to low power mode:

 # ip link set dev swp11 down

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy auto

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m swp11

<title>ethtool: add two coalesce attributes for CQE mode</title>

<id>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.

<title>ethtool: add interface to read RMON stats</title>

<content type='text'>
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).
