The PHY_GET command, supporting both DUMP and GET operations, is used to retrieve the list of PHYs connected to a netdevice, and get topology information to know where exactly it sits on the physical link. Add the netlink specs corresponding to that command. Signed-off-by:

As we have the ability to track the PHYs connected to a net_device through the link_topology, we can expose this list to userspace. This allows userspace to use these identifiers for phy-specific commands and take the decision of which PHY to target by knowing the link topology. Add PHY_GET and PHY_DUMP, which can be a filtered DUMP operation to list devices on only one interface. Signed-off-by:

Some netlink commands are target towards ethernet PHYs, to control some of their features. As there's several such commands, add the ability to pass a PHY index in the ethnl request, which will populate the generic ethnl_req_info with the passed phy_index. Add a helper that netlink command handlers need to use to grab the targeted PHY from the req_info. This helper needs to hold rtnl_lock() while interacting with the PHY, as it may be removed at any point. Signed-off-by:

Knowing the bus name is helpful when we want to expose the link topology to userspace, add a helper to return the SFP bus name. This call will always be made while holding the RTNL which ensures that the SFP driver won't unbind from the device. The returned pointer to the bus name will only be used while RTNL is held.

There are a few PHY drivers that can handle SFP modules through their sfp_upstream_ops. Introduce Phylib helpers to keep track of connected SFP PHYs in a netdevice's namespace, by adding the SFP PHY to the upstream PHY's netdev's namespace. By doing so, these SFP PHYs can be enumerated and exposed to users, which will be able to use their capabilities. Signed-off-by:

Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can be used. With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc. The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev->phydev, which in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC. Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration. The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list. The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached. This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP transceiver removal/insertion. The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to. The PHY index can be re-used for PHYs that are persistent. Signed-off-by:

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Unmask upper DSCP bits - part 1 tl;dr - This patchset starts to unmask the upper DSCP bits in the IPv4 flow key in preparation for allowing IPv4 FIB rules to match on DSCP. No functional changes are expected. The TOS field in the IPv4 flow key ('flowi4_tos') is used during FIB lookup to match against the TOS selector in FIB rules and routes. It is currently impossible for user space to configure FIB rules that match on the DSCP value as the upper DSCP bits are either masked in the various call sites that initialize the IPv4 flow key or along the path to the FIB core. In preparation for adding a DSCP selector to IPv4 and IPv6 FIB rules, we need to make sure the entire DSCP value is present in the IPv4 flow key. This patchset starts to unmask the upper DSCP bits in the various places that invoke the core FIB lookup functions directly (patches #1-#7) and in the input route path (patches #8-#12). Future patchsets will do the same in the output route path. No functional changes are expected as commit 1fa3314c ("ipv4: Centralize TOS matching") moved the masking of the upper DSCP bits to the core where 'flowi4_tos' is matched against the TOS selector. ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240821125251.1571445-1-idosch@nvidia.comSigned-off-by:

As explained in commit 35ebf65e ("ipv4: Create and use fib_compute_spec_dst() helper."), the function is used - for example - to determine the source address for an ICMP reply. If we are responding to a multicast or broadcast packet, the source address is set to the source address that we would use if we were to send a packet to the unicast source of the original packet. This address is determined by performing a FIB lookup and using the preferred source address of the resulting route. Unmask the upper DSCP bits of the DS field of the packet that triggered the reply so that in the future the FIB lookup could be performed according to the full DSCP value.

Unmask the upper DSCP bits when calling ipmr_fib_lookup() so that in the future it could perform the FIB lookup according to the full DSCP value. Note that ipmr_fib_lookup() performs a FIB rule lookup (returning the relevant routing table) and that IPv4 multicast FIB rules do not support matching on TOS / DSCP. However, it is still worth unmasking the upper DSCP bits in case support for DSCP matching is ever added. Signed-off-by:

And as cfg->tcs is a u8, the range is 0 - 255. Further, on inspecting the code, it seems that cfg->tcs will never be more than AQ_CFG_TCS_MAX (8), so the range is actually 0 - 8. So, it seems that the condition that GCC flags will not occur. But, nonetheless, it would be nice if it didn't emit the warning. It seems that this can be achieved by changing the format specifier from %d to %u, in which case I believe GCC recognises an upper bound on the range of tc of 0 - 255. After some experimentation I think this is due to the combination of the use of %u and the type of cfg->tcs (u8). Empirically, updating the type of the tc variable to unsigned int has the same effect. As both of these changes seem to make sense in relation to what the code is actually doing - iterating over unsigned values - do both. Compile tested only. Signed-off-by: -

This aims to add limited globs to improve the coverage of header files in the NETWORKING DRIVERS and NETWORKING [GENERAL] sections. It is done so in a minimal way to exclude overlap with other sections. And so as not to require "X" entries to exclude files otherwise matched by these new globs. While imperfect, due to it's limited nature, this does extend coverage of header files by these sections. And aims to automatically cover new files that seem very likely belong to these sections. The include/linux/netdev* glob (both sections) + Subsumes the entries for: - include/linux/netdevice.h + Extends the sections to cover - include/linux/netdevice_xmit.h - include/linux/netdev_features.h The include/uapi/linux/netdev* globs: (both sections) + Subsumes the entries for: - include/linux/netdevice.h + Extends the sections to cover - include/linux/netdev.h The include/linux/skbuff* glob (NETWORKING [GENERAL] section only): + Subsumes the entry for: - include/linux/skbuff.h + Extends the section to cover - include/linux/skbuff_ref.h A include/uapi/linux/net_* glob was not added to the NETWORKING [GENERAL] section.
