2Netlink interface for ethtool
3=============================

6Basic information
7=================
8
9Netlink interface for ethtool uses generic netlink family ``ethtool``
10(userspace application should use macros ``ETHTOOL_GENL_NAME`` and
11``ETHTOOL_GENL_VERSION`` defined in ``<linux/ethtool_netlink.h>`` uapi
12header). This family does not use a specific header, all information in
13requests and replies is passed using netlink attributes.
14
15The ethtool netlink interface uses extended ACK for error and warning
16reporting, userspace application developers are encouraged to make these
17messages available to user in a suitable way.
18
19Requests can be divided into three categories: "get" (retrieving information),
20"set" (setting parameters) and "action" (invoking an action).
21
22All "set" and "action" type requests require admin privileges
23(``CAP_NET_ADMIN`` in the namespace). Most "get" type requests are allowed for
24anyone but there are exceptions (where the response contains sensitive
25information). In some cases, the request as such is allowed for anyone but
26unprivileged users have attributes with sensitive information (e.g.
27wake-on-lan password) omitted.
28
29
30Conventions
31===========
32
33Attributes which represent a boolean value usually use NLA_U8 type so that we
34can distinguish three states: "on", "off" and "not present" (meaning the
35information is not available in "get" requests or value is not to be changed
36in "set" requests). For these attributes, the "true" value should be passed as
37number 1 but any non-zero value should be understood as "true" by recipient.
38In the tables below, "bool" denotes NLA_U8 attributes interpreted in this way.
39
40In the message structure descriptions below, if an attribute name is suffixed
41with "+", parent nest can contain multiple attributes of the same type. This
42implements an array of entries.
43
44Attributes that need to be filled-in by device drivers and that are dumped to
45user space based on whether they are valid or not should not use zero as a
46valid value. This avoids the need to explicitly signal the validity of the
47attribute in the device driver API.
48
49
50Request header
51==============
52
53Each request or reply message contains a nested attribute with common header.
54Structure of this header is
55
56  ==============================  ======  =============================
57  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_INDEX``  u32     device ifindex
58  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME``   string  device name
59  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``      u32     flags common for all requests
60  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_PHY_INDEX``  u32     phy device index
61  ==============================  ======  =============================
62
63``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_INDEX`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME`` identify the
64device message relates to. One of them is sufficient in requests, if both are
65used, they must identify the same device. Some requests, e.g. global string
66sets, do not require device identification. Most ``GET`` requests also allow
67dump requests without device identification to query the same information for
68all devices providing it (each device in a separate message).
69
70``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS`` is a bitmap of request flags common for all request
71types. The interpretation of these flags is the same for all request types but
72the flags may not apply to requests. Recognized flags are:
73
74  =================================  ===================================
75  ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS``   use compact format bitsets in reply
76  ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY``        omit optional reply (_SET and _ACT)
77  ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS``             include optional device statistics
78  =================================  ===================================
79
80New request flags should follow the general idea that if the flag is not set,
81the behaviour is backward compatible, i.e. requests from old clients not aware
82of the flag should be interpreted the way the client expects. A client must
83not set flags it does not understand.
84
85``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_PHY_INDEX`` identifies the Ethernet PHY the message relates to.
86As there are numerous commands that are related to PHY configuration, and because
87there may be more than one PHY on the link, the PHY index can be passed in the
88request for the commands that needs it. It is, however, not mandatory, and if it
89is not passed for commands that target a PHY, the net_device.phydev pointer
90is used.
91
92Bit sets
93========
94
95For short bitmaps of (reasonably) fixed length, standard ``NLA_BITFIELD32``
96type is used. For arbitrary length bitmaps, ethtool netlink uses a nested
97attribute with contents of one of two forms: compact (two binary bitmaps
98representing bit values and mask of affected bits) and bit-by-bit (list of
99bits identified by either index or name).
100
101Verbose (bit-by-bit) bitsets allow sending symbolic names for bits together
102with their values which saves a round trip (when the bitset is passed in a
103request) or at least a second request (when the bitset is in a reply). This is
104useful for one shot applications like traditional ethtool command. On the
105other hand, long running applications like ethtool monitor (displaying
106notifications) or network management daemons may prefer fetching the names
107only once and using compact form to save message size. Notifications from
108ethtool netlink interface always use compact form for bitsets.
109
110A bitset can represent either a value/mask pair (``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``
111not set) or a single bitmap (``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` set). In requests
112modifying a bitmap, the former changes the bit set in mask to values set in
113value and preserves the rest; the latter sets the bits set in the bitmap and
114clears the rest.
115
116Compact form: nested (bitset) attribute contents:
117
118  ============================  ======  ============================
119  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``   flag    no mask, only a list
120  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE``     u32     number of significant bits
121  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_VALUE``    binary  bitmap of bit values
122  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK``     binary  bitmap of valid bits
123  ============================  ======  ============================
124
125Value and mask must have length at least ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` bits
126rounded up to a multiple of 32 bits. They consist of 32-bit words in host byte
127order, words ordered from least significant to most significant (i.e. the same
128way as bitmaps are passed with ioctl interface).
129
130For compact form, ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_VALUE`` are
131mandatory. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` attribute is mandatory if
132``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` is not set (bitset represents a value/mask pair);
133if ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` is not set, ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` is not
134allowed (bitset represents a single bitmap.
135
136Kernel bit set length may differ from userspace length if older application is
137used on newer kernel or vice versa. If userspace bitmap is longer, an error is
138issued only if the request actually tries to set values of some bits not
139recognized by kernel.
140
141Bit-by-bit form: nested (bitset) attribute contents:
142
143 +------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
144 | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``        | flag   | no mask, only a list        |
145 +------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
146 | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE``          | u32    | number of significant bits  |
147 +------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
148 | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS``          | nested | array of bits               |
149 +-+----------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
150 | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS_BIT+``   | nested | one bit                     |
151 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
152 | | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_INDEX`` | u32    | bit index (0 for LSB)       |
153 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
154 | | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_NAME``  | string | bit name                    |
155 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
156 | | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE`` | flag   | present if bit is set       |
157 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
158
159Bit size is optional for bit-by-bit form. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS`` nest can
160only contain ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS_BIT`` attributes but there can be an
161arbitrary number of them.  A bit may be identified by its index or by its
162name. When used in requests, listed bits are set to 0 or 1 according to
163``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE``, the rest is preserved. A request fails if
164index exceeds kernel bit length or if name is not recognized.
165
166When ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` flag is present, bitset is interpreted as
167a simple bitmap. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE`` attributes are not used in
168such case. Such bitset represents a bitmap with listed bits set and the rest
169zero.
170
171In requests, application can use either form. Form used by kernel in reply is
172determined by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS`` flag in flags field of request
173header. Semantics of value and mask depends on the attribute.
174
175
176List of message types
177=====================

179All constants identifying message types use ``ETHTOOL_CMD_`` prefix and suffix
180according to message purpose:

287
288``GET`` requests are sent by userspace applications to retrieve device
289information. They usually do not contain any message specific attributes.
290Kernel replies with corresponding "GET_REPLY" message. For most types, ``GET``
291request with ``NLM_F_DUMP`` and no device identification can be used to query
292the information for all devices supporting the request.
293
294If the data can be also modified, corresponding ``SET`` message with the same
295layout as corresponding ``GET_REPLY`` is used to request changes. Only
296attributes where a change is requested are included in such request (also, not
297all attributes may be changed). Replies to most ``SET`` request consist only
298of error code and extack; if kernel provides additional data, it is sent in
299the form of corresponding ``SET_REPLY`` message which can be suppressed by
300setting ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header.
301
302Data modification also triggers sending a ``NTF`` message with a notification.
303These usually bear only a subset of attributes which was affected by the
304change. The same notification is issued if the data is modified using other
305means (mostly ioctl ethtool interface). Unlike notifications from ethtool
306netlink code which are only sent if something actually changed, notifications
307triggered by ioctl interface may be sent even if the request did not actually
308change any data.
309
310``ACT`` messages request kernel (driver) to perform a specific action. If some
311information is reported by kernel (which can be suppressed by setting
312``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header), the reply takes form of
313an ``ACT_REPLY`` message. Performing an action also triggers a notification
314(``NTF`` message).
315
316Later sections describe the format and semantics of these messages.
317
318
319STRSET_GET
320==========
321
322Requests contents of a string set as provided by ioctl commands
323``ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO`` and ``ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS.`` String sets are not user
324writeable so that the corresponding ``STRSET_SET`` message is only used in
325kernel replies. There are two types of string sets: global (independent of
326a device, e.g. device feature names) and device specific (e.g. device private
327flags).
328
329Request contents:

363 +---------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+
364
365Device identification in request header is optional. Depending on its presence
366a and ``NLM_F_DUMP`` flag, there are three type of ``STRSET_GET`` requests:
367
368 - no ``NLM_F_DUMP,`` no device: get "global" stringsets
369 - no ``NLM_F_DUMP``, with device: get string sets related to the device
370 - ``NLM_F_DUMP``, no device: get device related string sets for all devices
371
372If there is no ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS`` array, all string sets of
373requested type are returned, otherwise only those specified in the request.
374Flag ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS_ONLY`` tells kernel to only return string
375counts of the sets, not the actual strings.

478  ==========================================  ======  ==========================
479
480``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` bit set allows setting advertised link modes. If
481autonegotiation is on (either set now or kept from before), advertised modes
482are not changed (no ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` attribute) and at least one
483of speed, duplex and lanes is specified, kernel adjusts advertised modes to all
484supported modes matching speed, duplex, lanes or all (whatever is specified).
485This autoselection is done on ethtool side with ioctl interface, netlink
486interface is supposed to allow requesting changes without knowing what exactly
487kernel supports.

493Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
494``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
495be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
496is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have
497any attributes.

517For most NIC drivers, the value of ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` returns
518carrier flag provided by ``netif_carrier_ok()`` but there are drivers which
519define their own handler.
520
521``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` are
522optional values. ethtool core can provide either both
523``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE``,
524or only ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE``, or none of them.

771Bitmaps in kernel response have the same meaning as bitmaps used in ioctl
772interference but attribute names are different (they are based on
773corresponding members of struct net_device). Legacy "flags" are not provided,
774if userspace needs them (most likely only ethtool for backward compatibility),
775it can calculate their values from related feature bits itself.
776ETHA_FEATURES_HW uses mask consisting of all features recognized by kernel (to
777provide all names when using verbose bitmap format), the other three use no
778mask (simple bit lists).

801Request contains only one bitset which can be either value/mask pair (request
802to change specific feature bits and leave the rest) or only a value (request
803to set all features to specified set).
804
805As request is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks, optional
806kernel reply (can be suppressed by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request
807header) informs client about the actual result. ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED``
808reports the difference between client request and actual result: mask consists
809of bits which differ between requested features and result (dev->features
810after the operation), value consists of values of these bits in the request
811(i.e. negated values from resulting features). ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE``
812reports the difference between old and new dev->features: mask consists of
813bits which have changed, values are their values in new dev->features (after
814the operation).
815
816``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF`` notification is sent not only if device features
817are modified using ``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET`` request or on of ethtool ioctl
818request but also each time features are modified with netdev_update_features()
819or netdev_change_features().

839
840``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` is a bitset with values of device private flags.
841These flags are defined by driver, their number and names (and also meaning)
842are device dependent. For compact bitset format, names can be retrieved as
843``ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS`` string set. If verbose bitset format is requested,
844response uses all private flags supported by the device as mask so that client
845gets the full information without having to fetch the string set with names.

895  =======================================   ======  ===========================
896
897``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TCP_DATA_SPLIT`` indicates whether the device is usable with
898page-flipping TCP zero-copy receive (``getsockopt(TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE)``).
899If enabled the device is configured to place frame headers and data into
900separate buffers. The device configuration must make it possible to receive
901full memory pages of data, for example because MTU is high enough or through
902HW-GRO.
903
904``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_[RX|TX]_PUSH`` flag is used to enable descriptor fast
905path to send or receive packets. In ordinary path, driver fills descriptors in DRAM and
906notifies NIC hardware. In fast path, driver pushes descriptors to the device
907through MMIO writes, thus reducing the latency. However, enabling this feature
908may increase the CPU cost. Drivers may enforce additional per-packet
909eligibility checks (e.g. on packet size).
910
911``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN`` specifies the maximum number of bytes of a
912transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the underlying device
913('push' mode). Pushing some of the payload bytes to the device has the
914advantages of reducing latency for small packets by avoiding DMA mapping (same
915as ``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH`` parameter) as well as allowing the underlying
916device to process packet headers ahead of fetching its payload.
917This can help the device to make fast actions based on the packet's headers.
918This is similar to the "tx-copybreak" parameter, which copies the packet to a
919preallocated DMA memory area instead of mapping new memory. However,
920tx-push-buff parameter copies the packet directly to the device to allow the
921device to take faster actions on the packet.

942
943Kernel checks that requested ring sizes do not exceed limits reported by
944driver. Driver may impose additional constraints and may not support all

946
947
948``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_CQE_SIZE`` specifies the completion queue event size.
949Completion queue events (CQE) are the events posted by NIC to indicate the
950completion status of a packet when the packet is sent (like send success or
951error) or received (like pointers to packet fragments). The CQE size parameter
952enables to modify the CQE size other than default size if NIC supports it.
953A bigger CQE can have more receive buffer pointers, and in turn the NIC can
954transfer a bigger frame from wire. Based on the NIC hardware, the overall
955completion queue size can be adjusted in the driver if CQE size is modified.

1049Attributes are only included in reply if their value is not zero or the
1050corresponding bit in ``ethtool_ops::supported_coalesce_params`` is set (i.e.

1052
1053Timer reset mode (``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX`` and
1054``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX``) controls the interaction between packet
1055arrival and the various time based delay parameters. By default timers are
1056expected to limit the max delay between any packet arrival/departure and a
1057corresponding interrupt. In this mode timer should be started by packet
1058arrival (sometimes delivery of previous interrupt) and reset when interrupt
1059is delivered.
1060Setting the appropriate attribute to 1 will enable ``CQE`` mode, where
1061each packet event resets the timer. In this mode timer is used to force
1062the interrupt if queue goes idle, while busy queues depend on the packet
1063limit to trigger interrupts.
1064
1065Tx aggregation consists of copying frames into a contiguous buffer so that they
1066can be submitted as a single IO operation. ``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_BYTES``
1067describes the maximum size in bytes for the submitted buffer.
1068``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_FRAMES`` describes the maximum number of frames
1069that can be aggregated into a single buffer.
1070``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_TIME_USECS`` describes the amount of time in usecs,
1071counted since the first packet arrival in an aggregated block, after which the
1072block should be sent.
1073This feature is mainly of interest for specific USB devices which does not cope
1074well with frequent small-sized URBs transmissions.

1285An Ethernet cable typically contains 1, 2 or 4 pairs. The length of
1286the pair can only be measured when there is a fault in the pair and
1287hence a reflection. Information about the fault may not be available,
1288depending on the specific hardware. Hence the contents of the notify
1289message are mostly optional. The attributes can be repeated an
1290arbitrary number of times, in an arbitrary order, for an arbitrary
1291number of pairs.
1292
1293The example shows the notification sent when the test is completed for
1294a T2 cable, i.e. two pairs. One pair is OK and hence has no length
1295information. The second pair has a fault and does have length
1296information.

1349
1350The ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_CFG is optional, as well as all members
1351of the nest. All distances are expressed in centimeters. The PHY takes
1352the distances as a guide, and rounds to the nearest distance it
1353actually supports. If a pair is passed, only that one pair will be
1354tested. Otherwise all pairs are tested.
1355
1356Notification contents:
1357
1358Raw TDR data is gathered by sending a pulse down the cable and
1359recording the amplitude of the reflected pulse for a given distance.
1360
1361It can take a number of seconds to collect TDR data, especial if the
1362full 100 meters is probed at 1 meter intervals. When the test is
1363started a notification will be sent containing just
1364ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
1365ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_STARTED.
1366
1367When the test has completed a second notification will be sent
1368containing ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
1369ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_COMPLETED and the TDR data.
1370
1371The message may optionally contain the amplitude of the pulse send
1372down the cable. This is measured in mV. A reflection should not be
1373bigger than transmitted pulse.
1374
1375Before the raw TDR data should be an ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_STEP
1376nest containing information about the distance along the cable for the
1377first reading, the last reading, and the step between each
1378reading. Distances are measured in centimeters. These should be the
1379exact values the PHY used. These may be different to what the user
1380requested, if the native measurement resolution is greater than 1 cm.
1381
1382For each step along the cable, a ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_AMPLITUDE is
1383used to report the amplitude of the reflection for a given pair.

1478  =====================================  ======  ==========================
1479
1480``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_ACTIVE`` is the bit index of the FEC link mode currently
1481active on the interface. This attribute may not be present if device does
1482not support FEC.
1483
1484``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` are only meaningful when
1485autonegotiation is disabled. If ``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` is non-zero driver will
1486select the FEC mode automatically based on the parameters of the SFP module.
1487This is equivalent to the ``ETHTOOL_FEC_AUTO`` bit of the ioctl interface.
1488``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` carry the current FEC configuration using link mode
1489bits (rather than old ``ETHTOOL_FEC_*`` bits).
1490
1491``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_STATS`` are reported if ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS`` was set in
1492``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``.
1493Each attribute carries an array of 64bit statistics. First entry in the array
1494contains the total number of events on the port, while the following entries
1495are counters corresponding to lanes/PCS instances. The number of entries in
1496the array will be:
1497
1498+--------------+---------------------------------------------+
1499| `0`          | device does not support FEC statistics      |

1522  =====================================  ======  ==========================
1523
1524``FEC_SET`` is only meaningful when autonegotiation is disabled. Otherwise
1525FEC mode is selected as part of autonegotiation.
1526
1527``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` selects which FEC mode should be used. It's recommended
1528to set only one bit, if multiple bits are set driver may choose between them
1529in an implementation specific way.
1530
1531``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` requests the driver to choose FEC mode based on SFP
1532module parameters. This does not mean autonegotiation.
1533
1534MODULE_EEPROM_GET
1535=================
1536
1537Fetch module EEPROM data dump.
1538This interface is designed to allow dumps of at most 1/2 page at once. This
1539means only dumps of 128 (or less) bytes are allowed, without crossing half page

1603Users specify which groups of statistics they are requesting via

1605
1606 ====================== ======== ===============================================
1607 ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_MAC  eth-mac  Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC statistics (30.3.1.1.*)
1608 ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_PHY  eth-phy  Basic IEEE 802.3 PHY statistics (30.3.2.1.*)
1609 ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_CTRL eth-ctrl Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC Ctrl statistics (30.3.3.*)
1610 ETHTOOL_STATS_RMON     rmon     RMON (RFC 2819) statistics
1611 ====================== ======== ===============================================
1612
1613Each group should have a corresponding ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` in the reply.
1614``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_ID`` identifies which group's statistics nest contains.
1615``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_SS_ID`` identifies the string set ID for the names of
1616the statistics in the group, if available.
1617
1618Statistics are added to the ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` nest under
1619``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_STAT``. ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_STAT`` should contain
1620single 8 byte (u64) attribute inside - the type of that attribute is
1621the statistic ID and the value is the value of the statistic.
1622Each group has its own interpretation of statistic IDs.
1623Attribute IDs correspond to strings from the string set identified
1624by ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_SS_ID``. Complex statistics (such as RMON histogram
1625entries) are also listed inside ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` and do not have
1626a string defined in the string set.
1627
1628RMON "histogram" counters count number of packets within given size range.
1629Because RFC does not specify the ranges beyond the standard 1518 MTU devices
1630differ in definition of buckets. For this reason the definition of packet ranges
1631is left to each driver.
1632
1633``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_HIST_RX`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_HIST_TX`` nests
1634contain the following attributes:
1635
1636 ================================= ====== ===================================
1637 ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_BKT_LOW u32    low bound of the packet size bucket
1638 ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_BKT_HI  u32    high bound of the bucket
1639 ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_VAL     u64    packet counter
1640 ================================= ====== ===================================
1641
1642Low and high bounds are inclusive, for example:
1643
1644 ============================= ==== ====
1645 RFC statistic                 low  high

1649 ============================= ==== ====
1650
1651``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC`` is optional. Similar to ``PAUSE_GET``, it takes values
1652from ``enum ethtool_mac_stats_src``. If absent from the request, stats will be
1653provided with an ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC`` attribute in the response equal to
1654``ETHTOOL_MAC_STATS_SRC_AGGREGATE``.

1853When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL`` attribute is used
1854to control PoDL PSE Admin functions. This option is implementing
1855``IEEE 802.3-2018`` 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl. See
1856``ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_STATE`` for supported values.

1858The same goes for ``ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL`` implementing
1859``IEEE 802.3-2022`` 30.9.1.2.1 acPSEAdminControl.
1860
1861When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_AVAIL_PWR_LIMIT`` attribute is
1862used to control the available power value limit for C33 PSE in milliwatts.
1863This attribute corresponds  to the `pse_available_power` variable described in
1864``IEEE 802.3-2022`` 33.2.4.4 Variables  and `pse_avail_pwr` in 145.2.5.4
1865Variables, which are described in power classes.
1866
1867It was decided to use milliwatts for this interface to unify it with other
1868power monitoring interfaces, which also use milliwatts, and to align with
1869various existing products that document power consumption in watts rather than
1870classes. If power limit configuration based on classes is needed, the
1871conversion can be done in user space, for example by ethtool.

1945
1946When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_VERSION`` attribute indicates which
1947standard and version the PLCA management interface complies to. When not set,
1948the interface is vendor-specific and (possibly) supplied by the driver.
1949The OPEN Alliance SIG specifies a standard register map for 10BASE-T1S PHYs
1950embedding the PLCA Reconciliation Sublayer. See "10BASE-T1S PLCA Management
1951Registers" at https://www.opensig.org/about/specifications/.
1952
1953When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_ENABLED`` attribute indicates the
1954administrative state of the PLCA RS. When not set, the node operates in "plain"
1955CSMA/CD mode. This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.1
1956aPLCAAdminState / 30.16.1.2.1 acPLCAAdminControl.
1957
1958When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_NODE_ID`` attribute indicates the
1959configured local node ID of the PHY. This ID determines which transmit
1960opportunity (TO) is reserved for the node to transmit into. This option is
1961corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.4 aPLCALocalNodeID. The valid
1962range for this attribute is [0 .. 255] where 255 means "not configured".
1963
1964When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_NODE_CNT`` attribute indicates the
1965configured maximum number of PLCA nodes on the mixing-segment. This number
1966determines the total number of transmit opportunities generated during a
1967PLCA cycle. This attribute is relevant only for the PLCA coordinator, which is
1968the node with aPLCALocalNodeID set to 0. Follower nodes ignore this setting.
1969This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.3
1970aPLCANodeCount. The valid range for this attribute is [1 .. 255].
1971
1972When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_TO_TMR`` attribute indicates the
1973configured value of the transmit opportunity timer in bit-times. This value
1974must be set equal across all nodes sharing the medium for PLCA to work
1975correctly. This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.5
1976aPLCATransmitOpportunityTimer. The valid range for this attribute is
1977[0 .. 255].
1978
1979When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_CNT`` attribute indicates the
1980configured number of extra packets that the node is allowed to send during a
1981single transmit opportunity. By default, this attribute is 0, meaning that
1982the node can only send a single frame per TO. When greater than 0, the PLCA RS
1983keeps the TO after any transmission, waiting for the MAC to send a new frame
1984for up to aPLCABurstTimer BTs. This can only happen a number of times per PLCA
1985cycle up to the value of this parameter. After that, the burst is over and the
1986normal counting of TOs resumes. This option is corresponding to
1987``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.6 aPLCAMaxBurstCount. The valid range for this
1988attribute is [0 .. 255].
1989
1990When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_TMR`` attribute indicates how
1991many bit-times the PLCA RS waits for the MAC to initiate a new transmission
1992when aPLCAMaxBurstCount is greater than 0. If the MAC fails to send a new
1993frame within this time, the burst ends and the counting of TOs resumes.
1994Otherwise, the new frame is sent as part of the current burst. This option
1995is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.7 aPLCABurstTimer. The
1996valid range for this attribute is [0 .. 255]. Although, the value should be
1997set greater than the Inter-Frame-Gap (IFG) time of the MAC (plus some margin)
1998for PLCA burst mode to work as intended.

2145The firmware update process consists of three logical steps:
2146
21471. Downloading a firmware image to the transceiver module and validating it.
21482. Running the firmware image.
21493. Committing the firmware image so that it is run upon reset.

2159The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_FILE_NAME`` attribute encodes the firmware
2160image file name. The firmware image is downloaded to the transceiver module,
2161validated, run and committed.
2162
2163The optional ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_PASSWORD`` attribute encodes a password
2164that might be required as part of the transceiver module firmware update
2165process.
2166
2167The firmware update process can take several minutes to complete. Therefore,
2168during the update process notifications are emitted from the kernel to user
2169space updating it about the status and progress.

2199PHY_GET
2200=======
2201
2202Retrieve information about a given Ethernet PHY sitting on the link. The DO
2203operation returns all available information about dev->phydev. User can also
2204specify a PHY_INDEX, in which case the DO request returns information about that
2205specific PHY.
2206
2207As there can be more than one PHY, the DUMP operation can be used to list the PHYs
2208present on a given interface, by passing an interface index or name in
2209the dump request.
