[PATCH net-next v2 0/8] net: ethtool: rss: add notifications

[PATCH net-next v2 0/8] net: ethtool: rss: add notifications

[Jakub Kicinski]

Next step on the path to moving RSS config to Netlink. With the
refactoring of the driver-facing API for ETHTOOL_GRXFH/ETHTOOL_SRXFH
out of the way we can move on to more interesting work.

Add Netlink notifications for changes in RSS configuration.

As a reminder (part) of rss-get was introduced in previous releases
when input-xfrm (symmetric hashing) was added. rss-set isn't
implemented, yet, but we can implement rss-ntf and hook it into
the changes done via the IOCTL path (same as other ethtool-nl
notifications do).

Most of the series is concerned with passing arguments to notifications.
So far none of the notifications needed to be parametrized, but RSS can
have multiple contexts per device, and since GET operates on a single
context at a time, the notification needs to also be scoped to a context.
Patches 2-5 add support for passing arguments to notifications thru
ethtool-nl generic infra.

The notification handling itself is pretty trivial, it's mostly
hooking in the right entries into the ethool-nl op tables.

v2:
 - [patch 2] fix typo in commit msg
 - [patch 5] propagate phy_index already
 - [patch 6] fix compilation with ETHTOOL_NETLINK=n
 - [patch 8] old patch dropped/applied already patch 9 becomes patch 8

[PATCH net-next v2 3/8] net: ethtool: call .parse_request for SET handlers

[Jakub Kicinski]

In preparation for using req_info to carry parameters between SET
and NTF - call .parse_request during ethnl_default_set_doit().

The main question here is whether .parse_request is intended to be
GET-specific. Originally the SET handling was delegated to each subcommand
directly - ethnl_default_set_doit() and .set callbacks in ethnl_request_ops
did not exist. Looking at existing users does not shed much light, all
of the following subcommands use .parse_request but have no SET handler
(and no NTF):

  net/ethtool/eeprom.c
  net/ethtool/rss.c
  net/ethtool/stats.c
  net/ethtool/strset.c
  net/ethtool/tsinfo.c

There's only one which does have a SET:

  net/ethtool/pause.c

where .parse_request handling is used to select which statistics to query.
Not relevant for SET but also harmless.

Going back to RSS (which doesn't have SET today) .parse_request parses
the rss_context ID. Using the req_info struct to pass the context ID
from SET to NTF will be very useful.

Switch to ethnl_default_parse(), effectively adding the .parse_request
for SET handlers.

[PATCH net-next v2 4/8] net: ethtool: remove the data argument from ethtool_notify()

[Jakub Kicinski]

ethtool_notify() takes a const void *data argument, which presumably
was intended to pass information from the call site to the subcommand
handler. This argument currently has no users.

Expecting the data to be subcommand-specific has two complications.

Complication #1 is that its not plumbed thru any of the standardized
callbacks. It gets propagated to ethnl_default_notify() where it
remains unused. Coming from the ethnl_default_set_doit() side we pass
in NULL, because how could we have a command specific attribute in
a generic handler.

Complication #2 is that we expect the ethtool_notify() callers to
know what attribute type to pass in. Again, the data pointer is
untyped.

RSS will need to pass the context ID to the notifications.
I think it's a better design if the "subcommand" exports its own
typed interface and constructs the appropriate argument struct
(which will be req_info). Remove the unused data argument from
ethtool_notify() but retain it in a new internal helper which
subcommands can use to build a typed interface.

[PATCH net-next v2 5/8] net: ethtool: copy req_info from SET to NTF

[Jakub Kicinski]

Copy information parsed for SET with .req_parse to NTF handling
and therefore the GET-equivalent that it ends up executing.
This way if the SET was on a sub-object (like RSS context)
the notification will also be appropriately scoped.

Also copy the phy_index, Maxime suggests this will help PLCA
commands generate accurate notifications as well.

It works perfectly for PLCA, now the notif is generated, and for the
right PHY :) thanks !

[PATCH net-next v2 6/8] net: ethtool: rss: add notifications

[Jakub Kicinski]

In preparation for RSS_SET handling in ethnl introduce Netlink
notifications for RSS. Only cover modifications, not creation
and not removal of a context, because the latter may deserve
a different notification type. We should cross that bridge
when we add the support for context add / remove via Netlink.

a year ago. We have been tweaking it so a bit hard to point
to a single commit that completed it, but all the fields available
in IOCTL are reported via Netlink.

I think .split() is not required because you can access strings as
arrays.

Will this only ever need to handle single digit values?

nosir, IIUC split splits on whitespace, so from:

	"Added rule with ID 7"  -> [.."ID", "7"]
	"Added rule with ID 71" -> [.."ID", "71"]

and we take the last elem, the ID. We use similar code in the rss_ctx
test, I think it works..

Unfortunately there is no plan to migrate the flow steering to netlink.
And ethtool only supports JSON output in the netlink code :S
Mountains of technical debt :)

Ah, my bad. Ignore my rambling and sorry for the noise.

I was able to test the PLCA path, which works fine :)

So, I reviewed and tested some of the ethnl patches in this series,
though I wasn't able to test the RSS-specific aspects.

Thanks,

Maxime
