<title>ethtool: implement Energy Detect Powerdown support via phy-tunable</title>

<id>9f2f13f4ffb13ee914105dfc9f860d68cae98108</id>
<content type='text'>
The `phy_tunable_id` has been named `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD` since it looks like
this feature is common across other PHYs (like EEE), and defining
`ETHTOOL_PHY_ENERGY_DETECT_POWER_DOWN` seems too long.

The way EDPD works, is that the RX block is put to a lower power mode,
except for link-pulse detection circuits. The TX block is also put to low
power mode, but the PHY wakes-up periodically to send link pulses, to avoid
lock-ups in case the other side is also in EDPD mode.

Currently, there are 2 PHY drivers that look like they could use this new
PHY tunable feature: the `adin` &amp;&amp; `micrel` PHYs.

The ADIN's datasheet mentions that TX pulses are at intervals of 1 second
default each, and they can be disabled. For the Micrel KSZ9031 PHY, the
datasheet does not mention whether they can be disabled, but mentions that
they can modified.

The way this change is structured, is similar to the PHY tunable downshift
control:
* a `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_MSECS` value is exposed to cover a default
  TX interval; some PHYs could specify a certain value that makes sense
* `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_NO_TX` would disable TX when EDPD is enabled
* `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DISABLE` will disable EDPD

As noted by the `ETHTOOL_PHY_EDPD_DFLT_TX_MSECS` the interval unit is 1
millisecond, which should cover a reasonable range of intervals:
 - from 1 millisecond, which does not sound like much of a power-saver
 - to ~65 seconds which is quite a lot to wait for a link to come up when
   plugging a cable

When parsing an ethtool_rx_flow_spec, users can specify an ethernet flow
which could contain matches based on the ethernet header, such as the
MAC address, the VLAN tag or the ethertype.

ETHER_FLOW uses the src and dst ethernet addresses, along with the
ethertype as keys. Matches based on the vlan tag are also possible, but
they are specified using the special FLOW_EXT flag.

<title>net: ethtool: Allow matching on vlan DEI bit</title>

Using ethtool, users can specify a classification action matching on the
full vlan tag, which includes the DEI bit (also previously called CFI).

However, when converting the ethool_flow_spec to a flow_rule, we use
dissector keys to represent the matching patterns.

Since the vlan dissector key doesn't include the DEI bit, this
information was silently discarded when translating the ethtool
flow spec in to a flow_rule.

This commit adds the DEI bit into the vlan dissector key, and allows
propagating the information to the driver when parsing the ethtool flow
spec.

ethtool_get_regs() allocates a buffer of size ops-&gt;get_regs_len(),
and pass it to the kernel driver via ops-&gt;get_regs() for filling.

There is no restriction about what the kernel drivers can or cannot do
with the open ethtool_regs structure. They usually set regs-&gt;version
and ignore regs-&gt;len or set it to the same size as ops-&gt;get_regs_len().

But if userspace allocates a smaller buffer for the registers dump,
we would cause a userspace buffer overflow in the final copy_to_user()
call, which uses the regs.len value potentially reset by the driver.

To fix this, make this case obvious and store regs.len before calling
ops-&gt;get_regs(), to only copy as much data as requested by userspace,
up to the value returned by ops-&gt;get_regs_len().

While at it, remove the redundant check for non-null regbuf.

<title>ethtool: Check for vlan etype or vlan tci when parsing flow_rule</title>

<id>b73484b2fc0d0ba84a13e9d86eb4adcae718163b</id>
<content type='text'>
When parsing an ethtool flow spec to build a flow_rule, the code checks
if both the vlan etype and the vlan tci are specified by the user to add
a FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN match.

However, when the user only specified a vlan etype or a vlan tci, this
check silently ignores these parameters.

For example, the following rule :

ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 vlan 0x0010 action -1 loc 0

will result in no error being issued, but the equivalent rule will be
created and passed to the NIC driver :

ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action -1 loc 0

In the end, neither the NIC driver using the rule nor the end user have
a way to know that these keys were dropped along the way, or that
incorrect parameters were entered.

This kind of check should be left to either the driver, or the ethtool
flow spec layer.

This commit makes so that ethtool parameters are forwarded as-is to the
NIC driver.

Since none of the users of ethtool_rx_flow_rule_create are using the
VLAN dissector, I don't think this qualifies as a regression.

When parsing an ethtool flow spec to build a flow_rule, the code checks
if both the vlan etype and the vlan tci are specified by the user to add
a FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_VLAN match.

However, when the user only specified a vlan etype or a vlan tci, this
check silently ignores these parameters.

For example, the following rule :

ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 vlan 0x0010 action -1 loc 0

will result in no error being issued, but the equivalent rule will be
created and passed to the NIC driver :

ethtool -N eth0 flow-type udp4 action -1 loc 0

In the end, neither the NIC driver using the rule nor the end user have
a way to know that these keys were dropped along the way, or that
incorrect parameters were entered.

This kind of check should be left to either the driver, or the ethtool
flow spec layer.

This commit makes so that ethtool parameters are forwarded as-is to the

Minor comment merge conflict in mlx5.

Staging driver has a fixup due to the skb-&gt;xmit_more changes
in 'net-next', but was removed in 'net'.
