  • 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

  • Implement TSINFO_GET request to get timestamping information for a network
    device. This is traditionally available via ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ioctl
    request.

    Move part of ethtool_get_ts_info() into common.c so that ioctl and netlink
    code use the same logic to get timestamping information from the device.

    v3: use "TSINFO" rather than "TIMESTAMP", suggested by Richard Cochran
