Hi! The objective of this series is to dump ethtool policies to be able to tell which flags are supported by the kernel. Current release adds ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS for dumping extra stats, but because of strict checking we need to make sure that the flag is actually supported before setting it in a request. Ethtool policies are per command, and so far only dumping family policies was supported. The series adds new set of "light" ops to genl families which don't have all the callbacks, and won't have the policy. Most of families are then moved to these ops. This gives us 4096B in savings on an allyesconfig build (not counting the growth that would have happened when policy is added): text data bss dec hex 244415581 227958581 78372980 550747142 20d3bc06 244415581 227962677 78372980 550751238 20d3cc06 Next 5 patches deal the dumping per-op policy. v3: The actually patch to dump per-op policy was taken out and will come in a series from Johannes, to make sure uAPI is consistent from the start. For dump-specific policies I think it should be fine to add a new pair of members to the "full" ops, and not overthink it. v2: - remove the stale comment in taskstats - split patch 8 -> 8, 9 - now the getfamily policy is also in the op - make cmd u32 v1: - replace remaining uses of "light" with "small" - fix dump (ops can't be on the stack there) - coding changes in patch 4 - new patch 7 - don't echo op in responses - to make dump all easier Dave - this series will cause a very trivial conflict with the patch I sent to net. Both sides add some kdoc to struct genl_ops so we'll need to keep it all. I'm sending this already because I also need to restructure ethool policies in time for 5.10 if we want to use it for the stats flag.
