Most devices maintain RMON (RFC 2819) stats - particularly
the "histogram" of packets received by size. Unlike other
RFCs which duplicate IEEE stats, the short/oversized frame
counters in RMON don't seem to match IEEE stats 1-to-1 either,
so expose those, too. Do not expose basic packet, CRC errors
etc - those are already otherwise covered.
Because standard defines packet ranges only up to 1518, and
everything above that should theoretically be "oversized"
- devices often create their own ranges.
Going beyond what the RFC defines - expose the "histogram"
in the Tx direction (assume for now that the ranges will
be the same).

get_module_eeprom_by_page() allows network drivers to dump a part of
module's EEPROM specified by page and bank numbers along with offset and

and get_module_eeprom() pair, which is needed due to emergence of

Add FEC API to netlink.
This is not a 1-to-1 conversion.
FEC settings already depend on link modes to tell user which
modes are supported. Take this further an use link modes for
manual configuration. Old struct ethtool_fecparam is still
used to talk to the drivers, so we need to translate back
and forth. We can revisit the internal API if number of FEC
encodings starts to grow.
Enforce only one active FEC bit (by using a bit position
rather than another mask).

Currently, when auto negotiation is on, the user can advertise all the
linkmodes which correspond to a specific speed, but does not have a
similar selector for the number of lanes. This is significant when a
specific speed can be achieved using different number of lanes. For
example, 2x50 or 4x25.
Add 'ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_LANES' attribute and expand 'struct
ethtool_link_settings' with lanes field in order to implement a new
lanes-selector that will enable the user to advertise a specific number
of lanes as well.
When auto negotiation is off, lanes parameter can be forced only if the
driver supports it. Add a capability bit in 'struct ethtool_ops' that
allows ethtool know if the driver can handle the lanes parameter when
auto negotiation is off, so if it does not, an error message will be
returned when trying to set lanes.
Example:
$ ethtool -s swp1 lanes 4
$ ethtool swp1

Perform header flags validation through the policy.
Only pause command supports ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS. Create a separate
policy to be able to express that in policy dumps to user space.
Note that even though the core will validate the header policy,
it cannot record multiple layers of attributes and we have to
re-parse header sub-attrs. When doing so we could skip attribute
validation, or use most permissive policy. Opt for the former.
We will no longer return the extack cookie for flags but since
we only added first new flag in this release it's not expected

Significant part of GET request processing is common for most request
types but unfortunately it cannot be easily separated from type specific
code as we need to alternate between common actions (parsing common request
header, allocating message and filling netlink/genetlink headers etc.) and
specific actions (querying the device, composing the reply). The processing
also happens in three different situations: "do" request, "dump" request
and notification, each doing things in slightly different way.
The request specific code is implemented in four or five callbacks defined
in an instance of struct get_request_ops:
parse_request() - parse incoming message
prepare_data() - retrieve data from driver or NIC
reply_size() - estimate reply message size
fill_reply() - compose reply message
cleanup_data() - (optional) clean up additional data
Other members of struct get_request_ops describe the data structure holding
information from client request and data used to compose the message. The
default handlers ethnl_default_doit(), ethnl_default_dumpit(),
ethnl_default_start() and ethnl_default_done() can be then used in genl_ops
handler. Notification handler will be introduced in a later patch.
