From: David Decotigny <decot@googlers.com>

This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS/SSETTINGS API, handled by
the new get_ksettings/set_ksettings callbacks. This API provides
support for most legacy ethtool_cmd fields, adds support for larger
link mode masks (up to 4064 bits, variable length), and removes
ethtool_cmd deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt).

This API is deprecating the legacy ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API and provides
the following backward compatibility properties:
 - legacy ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
   get_settings/set_settings callbacks.
 - legacy ethtool with new get/set_ksettings drivers: the new driver
   callbacks are used, data internally converted to legacy
   ethtool_cmd. ETHTOOL_GSET will return only the 1st 32b of each link
   mode mask. ETHTOOL_SSET will fail if user tries to set the
   ethtool_cmd deprecated fields to non-0
   (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). A kernel warning is printed if
   driver exports higher bits or if user request changes in deprecated
   fields mentioned earlier.
 - future ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the
   get_settings/set_settings callbacks, internally converted to new
   data structure. Note that that "future" ethtool tool will not allow
   changes to deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt), as
   they cannot be expressed for the kernel.
 - future ethtool with new drivers: direct call to the new callbacks.

By "future" ethtool, what is meant is:
 - query: first try ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS, and revert to ETHTOOL_GSET if fails
 - set: query first and remember which of ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS or
   ETHTOOL_GSET was successful
   - if ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS was successful, then change config with
     ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS. A failure there is final (do not try ETHTOOL_SSET).
   - otherwise ETHTOOL_GSET was successful, change config with
     ETHTOOL_SSET. A failure there is final (do not try ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS).

The interaction user/kernel via the new API requires a small
ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS handshake first to agree on the length of the link
mode bitmaps. If kernel doesn't agree with user, it returns the bitmap
length it is expecting from user as a negative length (and cmd field
is 0). When kernel and user agree, kernel returns valid info in all
fields (ie. link mode length > 0 and cmd is ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS).

Data structure crossing user/kernel boundary is 32/64-bit
agnostic. Converted internally to a legal kernel bitmap.

The internal __ethtool_get_settings kernel helper will gradually be
replaced by __ethtool_get_ksettings by the time the first ksettings
drivers start to appear. So this patch doesn't change it, it will be
removed before it needs to be changed.

As you have to introduce new commands and a new structure, please
include the word 'link' in their names.

'indice'?  Shoudn't this be 'index' or 'mode'?

Spaces around the + sign.

checkpatch claims you shouldn't introduce such typedefs.

We do the deprecating; the structures are purely passive.

Please delete this TODO and all the similar ones; we don't remove
userland APIs just because they're deprecated.

Why __aligned(4)?  Do you have any reason to think that some padding

This memset() looks redundant.

I think the array conversion ought to be a separate function that you
can call 3 times here, rather than repeating it here.  In fact that
could be a general function in lib/bitmap.c.

Similarly for the opposite conversion below.

ethtool isn't the only program that uses this API, not by a long way. 
And since it's the program at fault, not the device, it doesn't make a
lot of sense to use netdev_warn().

So I suggest a message more like that in warn_legacy_capability_use()
in kernel/capability.c.

I don't think this makes sense - it's not as if ethtool will
automatically try to set these without it being explicitly requested by
the user.  Just return -EINVAL without logging anything.

Please do not define the mask using a non-fixed type.  I know it makes
it easier to use the various bitmap helper routines if you use 'long',
but here it is clearly superior to use "u32" for the bitmap type and
do the bit operations by hand if necessary.

Otherwise you have to have all of this ulong size CPP conditional code
which is incredibly ugly.

Furthermore you have to use fixed sized types anyways so that we don't
need compat code to deal with 32-bit userspace applications making
these ethtool calls into a 64-bit kernel.

THanks.

Hello,

There is a set of conversion routines ulong[]<->u32[] to address this
32/64-bit compat issue. Using a u32-based bitmap would require drivers
to handle the u32 bitmaps themselves, this might be confusing,
considering there is a standard bitmap api; and might be error-prone
as well. Plus there is %*pb[l] format that's very helpful for
debugging. That's why I preferred to handle the relative complexity of
u32 bitmaps with the CPP conditionals in the non-driver code that
handles the user/kernel interactions, and drivers can use the standard
bitmap api transparently.

I was currently moving/rewriting the u32/ulong conversion code to
bitmap.{c,h} as Ben Hutchings was suggesting, which should hopefully
make the code more digestible; and could possibly be used for other
user/kernel interfaces. How about I send an updated version with this
solution, and if it's still not right, I'll revisit with either u32[]
everywhere or fixed-size bitmap instead of variable-size as here? Or
maybe another option would be to implement a new u32[]
bitmap_u32.{c,h} api, possibly using a set of macro tricks to share
code with bitmap.{c,h}?

And it's extremely ugly.

There is nothing stopping you from adding bitmap_set32() et al. helpers
to facilitate things.

+ *	%ETHTOOL_SSET to change settings; do not use
+ *	%ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS if %ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS failed: stick to

+ *
+ * @cmd: Command number = %ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS or %ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS
+ * @speed: Link speed (Mbps)
+ * @duplex: Duplex mode; one of %DUPLEX_*
+ * @port: Physical connector type; one of %PORT_*
+ * @phy_address: MDIO address of PHY (transceiver); 0 or 255 if not
+ *	applicable.  For clause 45 PHYs this is the PRTAD.
+ * @autoneg: Enable/disable autonegotiation and auto-detection;
+ *	either %AUTONEG_DISABLE or %AUTONEG_ENABLE
+ * @mdio_support: Bitmask of %ETH_MDIO_SUPPORTS_* flags for the MDIO
+ *	protocols supported by the interface; 0 if unknown.
+ *	Read-only.
+ * @eth_tp_mdix: Ethernet twisted-pair MDI(-X) status; one of
+ *	%ETH_TP_MDI_*.  If the status is unknown or not applicable, the
+ *	value will be %ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID.  Read-only.
+ * @eth_tp_mdix_ctrl: Ethernet twisted pair MDI(-X) control; one of
+ *	%ETH_TP_MDI_*.  If MDI(-X) control is not implemented, reads
+ *	yield %ETH_TP_MDI_INVALID and writes may be ignored or rejected.
+ *	When written successfully, the link should be renegotiated if
+ *	necessary.
+ * @link_mode_masks_nwords: Number of 32-bit words for each of the
+ *	supported, advertising, lp_advertising link mode bitmaps. For
+ *	%ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS: on entry, number of words passed by user
+ *	(>= 0); on return, if handshake in progress, negative if
+ *	request size unsupported by kernel: absolute value indicates
+ *	kernel recommended size and cmd field is 0, as well as all the
+ *	other fields; otherwise (handshake completed), strictly
+ *	positive to indicate size used by kernel and cmd field is
+ *	%ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS, all other fields populated by driver. For
+ *	%ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS: must be valid on entry, ie. a positive
+ *	value returned previously by %ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS, otherwise
+ *	refused. For drivers: ignore this field (use kernel's
+ *	__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS instead), any change to it will
+ *	be overwritten by kernel.
+ * @supported: Bitmap with each bit meaning given by
+ *	%ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices for the link modes, physical
+ *	connectors and other link features for which the interface
+ *	supports autonegotiation or auto-detection.  Read-only.
+ * @advertising: Bitmap with each bit meaning given by
+ *	%ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices for the link modes, physical
+ *	connectors and other link features that are advertised through
+ *	autonegotiation or enabled for auto-detection.
+ * @lp_advertising: Bitmap with each bit meaning given by
+ *	%ethtool_link_mode_bit_indices for the link modes, and other
+ *	link features that the link partner advertised through
+ *	autonegotiation; 0 if unknown or not applicable.  Read-only.
+ *
+ * If autonegotiation is disabled, the speed and @duplex represent the
+ * fixed link mode and are writable if the driver supports multiple
+ * link modes.  If it is enabled then they are read-only; if the link
+ * is up they represent the negotiated link mode; if the link is down,
+ * the speed is 0, %SPEED_UNKNOWN or the highest enabled speed and
+ * @duplex is %DUPLEX_UNKNOWN or the best enabled duplex mode.
+ *
+ * Some hardware interfaces may have multiple PHYs and/or physical
+ * connectors fitted or do not allow the driver to detect which are
+ * fitted.  For these interfaces @port and/or @phy_address may be
+ * writable, possibly dependent on @autoneg being %AUTONEG_DISABLE.
+ * Otherwise, attempts to write different values may be ignored or
+ * rejected.
+ *
+ * Deprecated %ethtool_cmd fields transceiver, maxtxpkt and maxrxpkt
+ * are not available in %ethtool_settings. Until all drivers are
+ * converted to ignore them or to the new %ethtool_settings API, for
+ * both queries and changes, users should always try
+ * %ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS first, and if it fails with -ENOTSUPP stick only
+ * to %ETHTOOL_GSET and %ETHTOOL_SSET consistently. If it succeeds,
+ * then users should stick to %ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS and
+ * %ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS (which would support drivers implementing either
+ * %ethtool_cmd or %ethtool_settings).
+ *
+ * Users should assume that all fields not marked read-only are
+ * writable and subject to validation by the driver.  They should use
+ * %ETHTOOL_GSETTINGS to get the current values before making specific
+ * changes and then applying them with %ETHTOOL_SSETTINGS.
+ *
+ * Drivers that implement %get_ksettings and/or %set_ksettings should
+ * ignore the @cmd and @link_mode_masks_nwords fields (any change to
+ * them overwritten by kernel), and rely only on kernel's internal
+ * %__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS and
+ * %ethtool_link_mode_mask_t. Drivers that implement %set_ksettings()
+ * should validate all fields other than @cmd
+ * and @link_mode_masks_nwords that are not described as read-only or
