Hello everyone,

Here's V8 for the phy_port netlink interface (get-only for now).

The highlights of V8 are a fix in the phy_sfp_connect_phy() port
tracking, and more importantly the correction of issues identified by
Jakub during review. The rest is the same :)

This work extends on the recent addition of phy_port representation to enable
listing the front-facing ports of an interface. For now, we don't control
these ports, we merely list their presence and their capabilities.

As the most common use-case of multi-port interfaces is combo-ports that
provide both RJ45 and SFP connectors on a single MAC, there's a lot of
SFP stuff in this series.

This series is in 2 main parts. The first one aims at representing the
SFP cages and modules using phy_port, as combo-ports with RJ45 + SFP are
by far the most common cases for multi-connector setups.

The second part is the netlink interface to list those ports, now that
most use-cases are covered.

Let's see what we can do with some examples of the new ethtool API :

- Get MII interfaces supported by an empty SFP cage :

# ethtool --show-ports eth3

Port for eth3:
	Port id: 1
	Vacant: yes
	Supported MII interfaces : sgmii, 1000base-x, 2500base-x
	Port type: sfp

- Get Combo-ports supported modes, on each port :

# ethtool --show-ports eth1

Port for eth1:
	Port id: 1
	Vacant: no
	Supported link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
	                       100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
	                       1000baseT/Full
	                       10000baseT/Full
	                       2500baseT/Full
	                       5000baseT/Full

	Port type: mdi

Port for eth1:
	Port id: 2
	Vacant: yes
	Supported MII interfaces : 10gbase-r
	Port type: sfp

- Get Achievable linkmodes on a SFP module (combo port with a DAC in the
SFP cage)

# ethtool --show-ports eth1

Port for eth1:
	Port id: 1
	Vacant: no
	Supported link modes:  10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
	                       100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full
	                       1000baseT/Full
	                       10000baseT/Full
	                       2500baseT/Full
	                       5000baseT/Full
	Port type: mdi

Port for eth1:
	Port id: 2
	Vacant: no
	Supported MII interfaces : 10gbase-r
	Port type: sfp

Port for eth1:
	Port id: 3
	Vacant: no
	Supported link modes:  10000baseCR/Full
	Port type: mdi

Note that here, we have 3 ports :
 - The Copper port
 - The SFP Cage itself, marked as 'occupied'
 - The SFP module

This series builds on top of phy_port and phy_link_topology to allow
tracking the ports of an interface. We maintain a list of supported
linkmodes/interfaces on each port, which allows for fine-grained
reporting of each port's capability.

What this series doesn't do :
 - We don't support selecting which port is active. This is the next step.
 - We only support PHY-driven combo ports. The end-goal of this whole
   journey that started with phy_link_topology is to get support for MII
   muxes, such as the one we have on the Turris Omnia. This will eventually
   be upstreamed as well.

If you want to play around with it, here's [1] the patched ethtool that I've
been using to produce the outputs above.

Thanks !

Maxime

The phy_link_topology structure stores information about the PHY-related
components connected to a net_device. It is opportunistically allocated,
when we add the first item to the topology, as this is not relevant for
all kinds of net_devices.

In preparation for the addition of phy_port tracking in the topology,
let's make a dedicated helper for that allocation sequence.

phy_port is aimed at representing the various physical interfaces of a
net_device. They can be controlled by various components in the link,
such as the Ethernet PHY, the Ethernet MAC, and SFP module, etc.

Let's therefore make so we keep track of all the ports connected to a
netdev in phy_link_topology. The only ports added for now are phy-driven
ports.

phy_port tracks the interfaces that a netdevice feeds into. SFP cages are
such ports, but so far we are only tracking the ones that are driven by
PHYs acting as media-converters.

Let's populate a phy_port for MAC driver SFP cages, handled by phylink.

This phy_port represents the SFP cage itself, and not the module that
may be plugged into it. It's therefore not an MDI interface, so only the
'interfaces' field is relevant here.

The phy_port is only populated for 'NETDEV' phylink instances, as
otherwise we don't have any topology to attach the port to.

When dealing with PHY-driven SFP, we create a phy_port representing the
SFP bus when we know we have such a bus.

We can move the port creation before registering the sfp upstream ops,
as long as we know the SFP bus is there. This will allow passing the
phy_port along with the upstream information to the SFP bus.

Now that the SFP bus infrastructure notifies when PHY-less modules are
connected, we can create a phy_port to represent it. Instead of letting
the SFP subsystem handle that, the Bus' upstream is in charge of
maintaining that phy_port and register it to the topology, as the
upstream (in this case a phy device) is directly interacting with the
underlying net_device.

Add a phy_caps helper to get the achievable modes on this module based
on what the phy_port representing the bus supports.

MII phy_ports are not meant to be connected directly to a link partner.
They are meant to feed into some media converter devices, so far we only
support SFP modules for that.

We have information about what MII they can handle, however we don't
store anything about whether they are currently connected to an SFP
module or not. As phy_port aims at listing the front-facing ports, let's
store an "vacant" bit to know whether or not a MII port is currently
vacant (i.e. there's no module in the SFP cage), or not (i.e.
there's an SFP module).

In order to allow netlink access to phy_ports, let's add a helper to
retrieve them. When handling a port coming from phy_link_topology, the
caller must hold rtnl until it's done with it.

Ethernet network interfaces may have more than one front-facing port.
The phy_port infrastructure was introduced to keep track of
these ports, and allow userspace to know about the presence and
capability of these ports. Add a ethnl netlink message to report this
information.

Expose the phy_port information to userspace, so that we can know how
many ports are available on a given interface, as well as their
capabilities. For MDI ports, we report the list of supported linkmodes
based on what the PHY that drives this port says.
For MII ports, i.e. empty SFP cages, we report the MII linkmodes that we
can output on this port.
