A sysfs reader can race with a device reset or removal, attempting to
read device state when the device is not actually present. eg:

     [exception RIP: qed_get_current_link+17]
  #8 [ffffb9e4f2907c48] qede_get_link_ksettings at ffffffffc07a994a [qede]

 #17 [ffffb9e4f2907f38] do_syscall_64 at ffffffff98a052fb

 crash&gt; struct net_device.state ffff9a9d21336000
    state = 5,

state 5 is __LINK_STATE_START (0b1) and __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER (0b100).
The device is not present, note lack of __LINK_STATE_PRESENT (0b10).

This is the same sort of panic as observed in commit 4224cfd7fb65
("net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show").

There are many other callers of __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() which
don't have a device presence check.

Move this check into ethtool to protect all callers.

<title>net: ethtool: Allow write mechanism of LPL and both LPL and EPL</title>

<content type='text'>
CMIS 5.2 standard section 9.4.2 defines four types of firmware update
supported mechanism: None, only LPL, only EPL, both LPL and EPL.

Currently, only LPL (Local Payload) type of write firmware block is
supported. However, if the module supports both LPL and EPL the flashing
process wrongly fails for no supporting LPL.

Fix that, by allowing the write mechanism to be LPL or both LPL and
EPL.

The 'at least one change' requirement is not applicable for context
creation, skip the check in such case.
This allows a command such as 'ethtool -X eth0 context new' to work.

The command works by mistake when using older versions of userspace
ethtool due to an incompatibility issue where rxfh.input_xfrm is passed
as zero (unset) instead of RXH_XFRM_NO_CHANGE as done with recent
userspace. This patch does not try to solve the incompatibility issue.

Both ethtool_ops.rxfh_max_context_id and the default value used when
 it's not specified are supposed to be exclusive maxima (the former
 is documented as such; the latter, U32_MAX, cannot be used as an ID
 since it equals ETH_RXFH_CONTEXT_ALLOC), but xa_alloc() expects an
 inclusive maximum.
Subtract one from 'limit' to produce an inclusive maximum, and pass
 that to xa_alloc().
Increase bnxt's max by one to prevent a (very minor) regression, as
 BNXT_MAX_ETH_RSS_CTX is an inclusive max.  This is safe since bnxt
 is not actually hard-limited; BNXT_MAX_ETH_RSS_CTX is just a
 leftover from old driver code that managed context IDs itself.
Rename rxfh_max_context_id to rxfh_max_num_contexts to make its
 semantics (hopefully) more obvious.

We expect drivers implementing the new create/modify/destroy
API to populate the defaults in struct ethtool_rxfh_context.
In legacy API ctx isn't even passed, and rxfh.indir / rxfh.key
are NULL so drivers can't give us defaults even if they want to.
Call get_rxfh() to fetch the values. We can reuse rxfh_dev
for the get_rxfh(), rxfh stores the input from the user.

This fixes IOCTL reporting 0s instead of the default key /
indir table for drivers using legacy API.

Add a check to try to catch drivers using the new API
but not populating the key.

The indirection table and the key follow struct ethtool_rxfh
in user memory.

To reset the indirection table user space calls SET_RXFH with
table of size 0 (OTOH to say "no change" it should use -1 / ~0).
The logic for calculating the offset where they key sits is
incorrect in this case, as kernel would still offset by the full
table length, while for the reset there is no indir table and
key is immediately after the struct.

  $ ethtool -X eth0 default hkey 01:02:03...

The response to a GET request in Netlink should fully identify
the queried object. RSS_GET accepts context id as an input,
so it must echo that attribute back to the response.

First part of "net: Make timestamping selectable" from Kory Maincent.
Change the driver-facing type already to lower rebasing pain.

<title>net: Add struct kernel_ethtool_ts_info</title>

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.

Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.
