The MAC merge sublayer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99) is one of 2
specifications (the other being Frame Preemption; IEEE 802.1Q-2018
clause 6.7.2), which work together to minimize latency caused by frame
interference at TX. The overall goal of TSN is for normal traffic and
traffic with a bounded deadline to be able to cohabitate on the same L2
network and not bother each other too much.
The standards achieve this (partly) by introducing the concept of
preemptible traffic, i.e. Ethernet frames that have a custom value for
the Start-of-Frame-Delimiter (SFD), and these frames can be fragmented
and reassembled at L2 on a link-local basis. The non-preemptible frames
are called express traffic, they are transmitted using a normal SFD, and
they can preempt preemptible frames, therefore having lower latency,
which can matter at lower (100 Mbps) link speeds, or at high MTUs (jumbo
frames around 9K). Preemption is not recursive, i.e. a P frame cannot
preempt another P frame. Preemption also does not depend upon priority,
or otherwise said, an E frame with prio 0 will still preempt a P frame
with prio 7.
In terms of implementation, the standards talk about the presence of an
express MAC (eMAC) which handles express traffic, and a preemptible MAC
(pMAC) which handles preemptible traffic, and these MACs are multiplexed
on the same MII by a MAC merge layer.
To support frame preemption, the definition of the SFD was generalized
to SMD (Start-of-mPacket-Delimiter), where an mPacket is essentially an
Ethernet frame fragment, or a complete frame. Stations unaware of an SMD
value different from the standard SFD will treat P frames as error
frames. To prevent that from happening, a negotiation process is
defined.
On RX, packets are dispatched to the eMAC or pMAC after being filtered
by their SMD. On TX, the eMAC/pMAC classification decision is taken by
the 802.1Q spec, based on packet priority (each of the 8 user priority
values may have an admin-status of preemptible or express).
The MAC Merge layer and the Frame Preemption parameters have some degree
of independence in terms of how software stacks are supposed to deal
with them. The activation of the MM layer is supposed to be controlled
by an LLDP daemon (after it has been communicated that the link partner
also supports it), after which a (hardware-based or not) verification
handshake takes place, before actually enabling the feature. So the
process is intended to be relatively plug-and-play. Whereas FP settings
are supposed to be coordinated across a network using something
approximating NETCONF.
The support contained here is exclusively for the 802.3 (MAC Merge)
portions and not for the 802.1Q (Frame Preemption) parts. This API is
sufficient for an LLDP daemon to do its job. The FP adminStatus variable
from 802.1Q is outside the scope of an LLDP daemon.
I have taken a few creative licenses and augmented the Linux kernel UAPI
compared to the standard managed objects recommended by IEEE 802.3.
These are:
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_PMAC_ENABLED: According to Figure 99-6: Receive
Processing state diagram, a MAC Merge layer is always supposed to be
able to receive P frames. However, this implies keeping the pMAC
powered on, which will consume needless power in applications where FP
will never be used. If LLDP is used, the reception of an Additional
Ethernet Capabilities TLV from the link partner is sufficient
indication that the pMAC should be enabled. So my proposal is that in
Linux, we keep the pMAC turned off by default and that user space
turns it on when needed.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_ENABLED: The IEEE managed object is called
aMACMergeVerifyDisableTx. I opted for consistency (positive logic) in
the boolean netlink attributes offered, so this is also positive here.
Other than the meaning being reversed, they correspond to the same
thing.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_MAX_VERIFY_TIME: I found it most reasonable for a LLDP
daemon to maximize the verifyTime variable (delay between SMD-V
transmissions), to maximize its chances that the LP replies. IEEE says
that the verifyTime can range between 1 and 128 ms, but the NXP ENETC
stupidly keeps this variable in a 7 bit register, so the maximum
supported value is 127 ms. I could have chosen to hardcode this in the
LLDP daemon to a lower value, but why not let the kernel expose its
supported range directly.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_TX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: the standard managed object is called
aMACMergeAddFragSize, and expresses the "additional" fragment size
(on top of ETH_ZLEN), whereas this expresses the absolute value of the
fragment size.
- ETHTOOL_A_MM_RX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: there doesn't appear to exist a managed
object mandated by the standard, but user space clearly needs to know
what is the minimum supported fragment size of our local receiver,
since LLDP must advertise a value no lower than that.

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

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.

ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS commands of ioctl interface. Unlike ioctl interface, all
information can be retrieved with one request and mulitple string sets can
be requested at once.
There are three types of requests:
- no NLM_F_DUMP, no device: get "global" stringsets
- no NLM_F_DUMP, with device: get string sets related to the device
- NLM_F_DUMP, no device: get device related string sets for all devices
Client can request either all string sets of given type (global or device
related) or only specific sets. With ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS flag set, only
set sizes (numbers of strings) are returned.

The ethtool netlink code uses common framework for passing arbitrary
length bit sets to allow future extensions. A bitset can be a list (only
one bitmap) or can consist of value and mask pair (used e.g. when client
want to modify only some bits). A bitset can use one of two formats:
verbose (bit by bit) or compact.
Verbose format consists of bitset size (number of bits), list flag and
an array of bit nests, telling which bits are part of the list or which
bits are in the mask and which of them are to be set. In requests, bits
can be identified by index (position) or by name. In replies, kernel
provides both index and name. Verbose format is suitable for "one shot"
applications like standard ethtool command as it avoids the need to
either keep bit names (e.g. link modes) in sync with kernel or having to
add an extra roundtrip for string set request (e.g. for private flags).
Compact format uses one (list) or two (value/mask) arrays of 32-bit
words to store the bitmap(s). It is more suitable for long running
applications (ethtool in monitor mode or network management daemons)
which can retrieve the names once and then pass only compact bitmaps to
save space.
Userspace requests can use either format; ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS
flag in request header tells kernel which format to use in reply.
Notifications always use compact format.
As some code uses arrays of unsigned long for internal representation and
some arrays of u32 (or even a single u32), two sets of parse/compose
helpers are introduced. To avoid code duplication, helpers for unsigned
long arrays are implemented as wrappers around helpers for u32 arrays.
There are two reasons for this choice: (1) u32 arrays are more frequent in
ethtool code and (2) unsigned long array can be always interpreted as an
u32 array on little endian 64-bit and all 32-bit architectures while we
would need special handling for odd number of u32 words in the opposite
direction.

Basic genetlink and init infrastructure for the netlink interface, register
genetlink family "ethtool". Add CONFIG_ETHTOOL_NETLINK Kconfig option to
make the build optional. Add initial overall interface description into
Documentation/networking/ethtool-netlink.rst, further patches will add more
detailed information.

The ethtool netlink interface is going to be split into multiple files so
that it will be more convenient to put all of them in a separate directory
net/ethtool. Start by moving current ethtool.c with ioctl interface into
this directory and renaming it to ioctl.c.
