After updating userspace Ethtool from 5.7 to 5.9, I noticed that
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE is no more raised when changing netdev features
through Ethtool.
That's because the old Ethtool ioctl interface always calls
netdev_features_change() at the end of user request processing to
inform the kernel that our netdevice has some features changed, but
the new Netlink interface does not. Instead, it just notifies itself
with ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF.
Replace this ethtool_notify() call with netdev_features_change(), so
the kernel will be aware of any features changes, just like in case
with the ioctl interface. This does not omit Ethtool notifications,
as Ethtool itself listens to NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE and drops
ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF on it
(net/ethtool/netlink.c:ethnl_netdev_event()).
From v1 [1]:
- dropped extra new line as advised by Jakub;
- no functional changes.

To get the most out of parsing by the core, and to allow dumping
full policies we need to specify which policy applies to nested
attrs. For headers it's ethnl_header_policy.
$ sed -i 's@\(ETHTOOL_A_.*HEADER\].*=\) { .type = NLA_NESTED },@\1\n\t\tNLA_POLICY_NESTED(ethnl_header_policy),@' net/ethtool/*

Since ethtool uses strict attribute validation there's no need
to initialize all attributes in policy tables. 0 is NLA_UNSPEC
which is going to be rejected. Remove the NLA_REJECTs.
Similarly attributes above maxattrs are rejected, so there's
no need to always size the policy tables to ETHTOOL_A_..._MAX.
v2: - new patch

Wire up policies for get commands in struct nla_policy of the ethtool
family. Make use of genetlink code attr validation and parsing, as well
as allow dumping policies to user space.
For every ETHTOOL_MSG_*_GET:
- add 'ethnl_' prefix to policy name
- add extern declaration in net/ethtool/netlink.h
- wire up the policy & attr in ethtool_genl_ops[].
- remove .request_policy and .max_attr from ethnl_request_ops.
Obviously core only records the first "layer" of parsed attrs
so we still need to parse the sub-attrs of the nested header
attribute.
v2:
- merge of patches 1 and 2 from v1
- remove stray empty lines in ops
- also remove .max_attr

The legacy ethtool userspace tool shows an error when no features could
be changed. It's useful to have a netlink reply to be able to show this
error when __netdev_update_features wasn't called, for example:
1. ethtool -k eth0
large-receive-offload: off
2. ethtool -K eth0 rx-fcs on
3. ethtool -K eth0 lro on
Could not change any device features
rx-lro: off [requested on]
4. ethtool -K eth0 lro on
# The output should be the same, but without this patch the kernel
# doesn't send the reply, and ethtool is unable to detect the error.
This commit makes ethtool-netlink always return a reply when requested,
and it still avoids unnecessary calls to __netdev_update_features if the
wanted features haven't changed.

ethtool-netlink ignores dev->hw_features and may confuse the drivers by
asking them to enable features not in the hw_features bitmask. For
example:
1. ethtool -k eth0
tls-hw-tx-offload: off [fixed]
2. ethtool -K eth0 tls-hw-tx-offload on
tls-hw-tx-offload: on
3. ethtool -k eth0
tls-hw-tx-offload: on [fixed]
Fitler out dev->hw_features from req_wanted to fix it and to resemble
the legacy ethtool behavior.

Currently, ethtool-netlink calculates new wanted bits as:
(req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_active & ~req_mask)
It completely discards the old wanted bits, so they are forgotten with
the next ethtool command. Sample steps to reproduce:
1. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: on # TSO is on from the beginning
2. ethtool -K eth0 tx off
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [not requested]
3. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [requested on]
4. ethtool -K eth0 rx off # Some change unrelated to TSO
5. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: off # "Wanted on" is forgotten
This commit fixes it by changing the formula to:
(req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_wanted & ~req_mask),
where old_active was replaced by old_wanted to account for the wanted
bits.
The shortcut condition for the case where nothing was changed now
compares wanted bitmasks, instead of wanted to active.

Implement FEATURES_SET netlink request to set network device features.
These are traditionally set using ETHTOOL_SFEATURES ioctl request.
Actual change is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks so that
it can differ from what was requested. Unlike with most other SET requests,
in addition to error code and optional extack, kernel provides an optional
reply message (ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET_REPLY) in the same format but with
different semantics: information about difference between user request and
actual result and difference between old and new state of dev->features.
This reply message can be suppressed by setting ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY
flag in request header.
