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:

290
291``GET`` requests are sent by userspace applications to retrieve device
292information. They usually do not contain any message specific attributes.
293Kernel replies with corresponding "GET_REPLY" message. For most types, ``GET``
294request with ``NLM_F_DUMP`` and no device identification can be used to query
295the information for all devices supporting the request.
296
297If the data can be also modified, corresponding ``SET`` message with the same
298layout as corresponding ``GET_REPLY`` is used to request changes. Only
299attributes where a change is requested are included in such request (also, not
300all attributes may be changed). Replies to most ``SET`` request consist only
301of error code and extack; if kernel provides additional data, it is sent in
302the form of corresponding ``SET_REPLY`` message which can be suppressed by
303setting ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header.
304
305Data modification also triggers sending a ``NTF`` message with a notification.
306These usually bear only a subset of attributes which was affected by the
307change. The same notification is issued if the data is modified using other
308means (mostly ioctl ethtool interface). Unlike notifications from ethtool
309netlink code which are only sent if something actually changed, notifications
310triggered by ioctl interface may be sent even if the request did not actually
311change any data.
312
313``ACT`` messages request kernel (driver) to perform a specific action. If some
314information is reported by kernel (which can be suppressed by setting
315``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header), the reply takes form of
316an ``ACT_REPLY`` message. Performing an action also triggers a notification
317(``NTF`` message).
318
319Later sections describe the format and semantics of these messages.
320
321
322STRSET_GET
323==========
324
325Requests contents of a string set as provided by ioctl commands
326``ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO`` and ``ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS.`` String sets are not user
327writeable so that the corresponding ``STRSET_SET`` message is only used in
328kernel replies. There are two types of string sets: global (independent of
329a device, e.g. device feature names) and device specific (e.g. device private
330flags).
331
332Request contents:

368Device identification in request header is optional. Depending on its presence
369a and ``NLM_F_DUMP`` flag, there are three type of ``STRSET_GET`` requests:
370
371 - no ``NLM_F_DUMP,`` no device: get "global" stringsets
372 - no ``NLM_F_DUMP``, with device: get string sets related to the device
373 - ``NLM_F_DUMP``, no device: get device related string sets for all devices
374
375If there is no ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS`` array, all string sets of
376requested type are returned, otherwise only those specified in the request.
377Flag ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS_ONLY`` tells kernel to only return string
378counts of the sets, not the actual strings.

481  ==========================================  ======  ==========================
482
483``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` bit set allows setting advertised link modes. If
484autonegotiation is on (either set now or kept from before), advertised modes
485are not changed (no ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` attribute) and at least one
486of speed, duplex and lanes is specified, kernel adjusts advertised modes to all
487supported modes matching speed, duplex, lanes or all (whatever is specified).
488This autoselection is done on ethtool side with ioctl interface, netlink
489interface is supposed to allow requesting changes without knowing what exactly
490kernel supports.

520For most NIC drivers, the value of ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` returns
521carrier flag provided by ``netif_carrier_ok()`` but there are drivers which
522define their own handler.
523
524``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` are
525optional values. ethtool core can provide either both
526``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE``,
527or only ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE``, or none of them.

684interface. While it is called message level there for historical reasons, most
685drivers and almost all newer drivers use it as a mask of enabled message
686classes (represented by ``NETIF_MSG_*`` constants); therefore netlink
687interface follows its actual use in practice.

774Bitmaps in kernel response have the same meaning as bitmaps used in ioctl
775interference but attribute names are different (they are based on
776corresponding members of struct net_device). Legacy "flags" are not provided,
777if userspace needs them (most likely only ethtool for backward compatibility),
778it can calculate their values from related feature bits itself.
779ETHA_FEATURES_HW uses mask consisting of all features recognized by kernel (to
780provide all names when using verbose bitmap format), the other three use no
781mask (simple bit lists).
782

802  ====================================  ======  ==========================
803
804Request contains only one bitset which can be either value/mask pair (request
805to change specific feature bits and leave the rest) or only a value (request
806to set all features to specified set).
807
808As request is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks, optional
809kernel reply (can be suppressed by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request
810header) informs client about the actual result. ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED``
811reports the difference between client request and actual result: mask consists
812of bits which differ between requested features and result (dev->features
813after the operation), value consists of values of these bits in the request
814(i.e. negated values from resulting features). ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE``
815reports the difference between old and new dev->features: mask consists of
816bits which have changed, values are their values in new dev->features (after
817the operation).
818
819``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF`` notification is sent not only if device features
820are modified using ``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET`` request or on of ethtool ioctl
821request but also each time features are modified with netdev_update_features()
822or netdev_change_features().

841  ====================================  ======  ==========================
842
843``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` is a bitset with values of device private flags.
844These flags are defined by driver, their number and names (and also meaning)
845are device dependent. For compact bitset format, names can be retrieved as
846``ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS`` string set. If verbose bitset format is requested,
847response uses all private flags supported by the device as mask so that client
848gets the full information without having to fetch the string set with names.
849

899
900``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TCP_DATA_SPLIT`` indicates whether the device is usable with
901page-flipping TCP zero-copy receive (``getsockopt(TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE)``).
902If enabled the device is configured to place frame headers and data into
903separate buffers. The device configuration must make it possible to receive
904full memory pages of data, for example because MTU is high enough or through
905HW-GRO.
906
907``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_[RX|TX]_PUSH`` flag is used to enable descriptor fast
908path to send or receive packets. In ordinary path, driver fills descriptors in DRAM and
909notifies NIC hardware. In fast path, driver pushes descriptors to the device
910through MMIO writes, thus reducing the latency. However, enabling this feature
911may increase the CPU cost. Drivers may enforce additional per-packet
912eligibility checks (e.g. on packet size).
913
914``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN`` specifies the maximum number of bytes of a
915transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the underlying device
916('push' mode). Pushing some of the payload bytes to the device has the
917advantages of reducing latency for small packets by avoiding DMA mapping (same
918as ``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH`` parameter) as well as allowing the underlying
919device to process packet headers ahead of fetching its payload.
920This can help the device to make fast actions based on the packet's headers.
921This is similar to the "tx-copybreak" parameter, which copies the packet to a
922preallocated DMA memory area instead of mapping new memory. However,
923tx-push-buff parameter copies the packet directly to the device to allow the
924device to take faster actions on the packet.

944  ====================================  ======  ===========================
945
946Kernel checks that requested ring sizes do not exceed limits reported by
947driver. Driver may impose additional constraints and may not support all
948attributes.
949
950
951``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_CQE_SIZE`` specifies the completion queue event size.
952Completion queue events (CQE) are the events posted by NIC to indicate the
953completion status of a packet when the packet is sent (like send success or
954error) or received (like pointers to packet fragments). The CQE size parameter
955enables to modify the CQE size other than default size if NIC supports it.
956A bigger CQE can have more receive buffer pointers, and in turn the NIC can
957transfer a bigger frame from wire. Based on the NIC hardware, the overall
958completion queue size can be adjusted in the driver if CQE size is modified.

1052Attributes are only included in reply if their value is not zero or the
1053corresponding bit in ``ethtool_ops::supported_coalesce_params`` is set (i.e.
1054they are declared as supported by driver).
1055
1056Timer reset mode (``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX`` and
1057``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX``) controls the interaction between packet
1058arrival and the various time based delay parameters. By default timers are
1059expected to limit the max delay between any packet arrival/departure and a
1060corresponding interrupt. In this mode timer should be started by packet
1061arrival (sometimes delivery of previous interrupt) and reset when interrupt
1062is delivered.
1063Setting the appropriate attribute to 1 will enable ``CQE`` mode, where
1064each packet event resets the timer. In this mode timer is used to force
1065the interrupt if queue goes idle, while busy queues depend on the packet
1066limit to trigger interrupts.
1067
1068Tx aggregation consists of copying frames into a contiguous buffer so that they
1069can be submitted as a single IO operation. ``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_BYTES``
1070describes the maximum size in bytes for the submitted buffer.
1071``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_FRAMES`` describes the maximum number of frames
1072that can be aggregated into a single buffer.
1073``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_TIME_USECS`` describes the amount of time in usecs,
1074counted since the first packet arrival in an aggregated block, after which the
1075block should be sent.
1076This feature is mainly of interest for specific USB devices which does not cope
1077well with frequent small-sized URBs transmissions.

1288An Ethernet cable typically contains 1, 2 or 4 pairs. The length of
1289the pair can only be measured when there is a fault in the pair and
1290hence a reflection. Information about the fault may not be available,
1291depending on the specific hardware. Hence the contents of the notify
1292message are mostly optional. The attributes can be repeated an
1293arbitrary number of times, in an arbitrary order, for an arbitrary
1294number of pairs.
1295
1296The example shows the notification sent when the test is completed for
1297a T2 cable, i.e. two pairs. One pair is OK and hence has no length
1298information. The second pair has a fault and does have length
1299information.

1352
1353The ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_CFG is optional, as well as all members
1354of the nest. All distances are expressed in centimeters. The PHY takes
1355the distances as a guide, and rounds to the nearest distance it
1356actually supports. If a pair is passed, only that one pair will be
1357tested. Otherwise all pairs are tested.
1358
1359Notification contents:
1360
1361Raw TDR data is gathered by sending a pulse down the cable and
1362recording the amplitude of the reflected pulse for a given distance.
1363
1364It can take a number of seconds to collect TDR data, especial if the
1365full 100 meters is probed at 1 meter intervals. When the test is
1366started a notification will be sent containing just
1367ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
1368ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_STARTED.
1369
1370When the test has completed a second notification will be sent
1371containing ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
1372ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_COMPLETED and the TDR data.
1373
1374The message may optionally contain the amplitude of the pulse send
1375down the cable. This is measured in mV. A reflection should not be
1376bigger than transmitted pulse.
1377
1378Before the raw TDR data should be an ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_STEP
1379nest containing information about the distance along the cable for the
1380first reading, the last reading, and the step between each
1381reading. Distances are measured in centimeters. These should be the
1382exact values the PHY used. These may be different to what the user
1383requested, if the native measurement resolution is greater than 1 cm.
1384
1385For each step along the cable, a ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_AMPLITUDE is
1386used to report the amplitude of the reflection for a given pair.

1481  =====================================  ======  ==========================
1482
1483``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_ACTIVE`` is the bit index of the FEC link mode currently
1484active on the interface. This attribute may not be present if device does
1485not support FEC.
1486
1487``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` are only meaningful when
1488autonegotiation is disabled. If ``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` is non-zero driver will
1489select the FEC mode automatically based on the parameters of the SFP module.
1490This is equivalent to the ``ETHTOOL_FEC_AUTO`` bit of the ioctl interface.
1491``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` carry the current FEC configuration using link mode
1492bits (rather than old ``ETHTOOL_FEC_*`` bits).
1493
1494``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_STATS`` are reported if ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS`` was set in
1495``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``.
1496Each attribute carries an array of 64bit statistics. First entry in the array
1497contains the total number of events on the port, while the following entries
1498are counters corresponding to lanes/PCS instances. The number of entries in
1499the array will be:
1500
1501+--------------+---------------------------------------------+
1502| `0`          | device does not support FEC statistics      |

1525  =====================================  ======  ==========================
1526
1527``FEC_SET`` is only meaningful when autonegotiation is disabled. Otherwise
1528FEC mode is selected as part of autonegotiation.
1529
1530``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` selects which FEC mode should be used. It's recommended
1531to set only one bit, if multiple bits are set driver may choose between them
1532in an implementation specific way.
1533
1534``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` requests the driver to choose FEC mode based on SFP
1535module parameters. This does not mean autonegotiation.
1536
1537MODULE_EEPROM_GET
1538=================
1539
1540Fetch module EEPROM data dump.
1541This interface is designed to allow dumps of at most 1/2 page at once. This
1542means only dumps of 128 (or less) bytes are allowed, without crossing half page

1606Users specify which groups of statistics they are requesting via

1608
1609 ====================== ======== ===============================================
1610 ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_MAC  eth-mac  Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC statistics (30.3.1.1.*)
1611 ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_PHY  eth-phy  Basic IEEE 802.3 PHY statistics (30.3.2.1.*)
1612 ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_CTRL eth-ctrl Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC Ctrl statistics (30.3.3.*)
1613 ETHTOOL_STATS_RMON     rmon     RMON (RFC 2819) statistics
1614 ====================== ======== ===============================================
1615
1616Each group should have a corresponding ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` in the reply.
1617``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_ID`` identifies which group's statistics nest contains.
1618``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_SS_ID`` identifies the string set ID for the names of
1619the statistics in the group, if available.
1620
1621Statistics are added to the ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` nest under
1622``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_STAT``. ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_STAT`` should contain
1623single 8 byte (u64) attribute inside - the type of that attribute is
1624the statistic ID and the value is the value of the statistic.
1625Each group has its own interpretation of statistic IDs.
1626Attribute IDs correspond to strings from the string set identified
1627by ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_SS_ID``. Complex statistics (such as RMON histogram
1628entries) are also listed inside ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` and do not have
1629a string defined in the string set.
1630
1631RMON "histogram" counters count number of packets within given size range.
1632Because RFC does not specify the ranges beyond the standard 1518 MTU devices
1633differ in definition of buckets. For this reason the definition of packet ranges
1634is left to each driver.
1635
1636``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_HIST_RX`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_HIST_TX`` nests
1637contain the following attributes:
1638
1639 ================================= ====== ===================================
1640 ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_BKT_LOW u32    low bound of the packet size bucket
1641 ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_BKT_HI  u32    high bound of the bucket
1642 ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_VAL     u64    packet counter
1643 ================================= ====== ===================================
1644
1645Low and high bounds are inclusive, for example:
1646
1647 ============================= ==== ====
1648 RFC statistic                 low  high

1652 ============================= ==== ====
1653
1654``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC`` is optional. Similar to ``PAUSE_GET``, it takes values
1655from ``enum ethtool_mac_stats_src``. If absent from the request, stats will be
1656provided with an ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC`` attribute in the response equal to
1657``ETHTOOL_MAC_STATS_SRC_AGGREGATE``.

1699is driver-dependent, but "auto" is the recommended default and it should be
1700implemented by new drivers and drivers where conformance to a legacy behavior
1701is not critical.
1702
1703The optional ``ETHTHOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE`` attribute encodes the operational

1857When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL`` attribute is used
1858to control PoDL PSE Admin functions. This option implements
1859``IEEE 802.3-2018`` 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl. See
1860``ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_STATE`` for supported values.

1864
1865When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_AVAIL_PWR_LIMIT`` attribute is
1866used to control the available power value limit for C33 PSE in milliwatts.
1867This attribute corresponds  to the `pse_available_power` variable described in
1868``IEEE 802.3-2022`` 33.2.4.4 Variables  and `pse_avail_pwr` in 145.2.5.4
1869Variables, which are described in power classes.
1870
1871It was decided to use milliwatts for this interface to unify it with other
1872power monitoring interfaces, which also use milliwatts, and to align with
1873various existing products that document power consumption in watts rather than
1874classes. If power limit configuration based on classes is needed, the
1875conversion can be done in user space, for example by ethtool.

1950When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_VERSION`` attribute indicates which
1951standard and version the PLCA management interface complies to. When not set,
1952the interface is vendor-specific and (possibly) supplied by the driver.
1953The OPEN Alliance SIG specifies a standard register map for 10BASE-T1S PHYs
1954embedding the PLCA Reconciliation Sublayer. See "10BASE-T1S PLCA Management
1955Registers" at https://www.opensig.org/about/specifications/.
1956
1957When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_ENABLED`` attribute indicates the
1958administrative state of the PLCA RS. When not set, the node operates in "plain"
1959CSMA/CD mode. This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.1
1960aPLCAAdminState / 30.16.1.2.1 acPLCAAdminControl.
1961
1962When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_NODE_ID`` attribute indicates the
1963configured local node ID of the PHY. This ID determines which transmit
1964opportunity (TO) is reserved for the node to transmit into. This option is
1965corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.4 aPLCALocalNodeID. The valid
1966range for this attribute is [0 .. 255] where 255 means "not configured".
1967
1968When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_NODE_CNT`` attribute indicates the
1969configured maximum number of PLCA nodes on the mixing-segment. This number
1970determines the total number of transmit opportunities generated during a
1971PLCA cycle. This attribute is relevant only for the PLCA coordinator, which is
1972the node with aPLCALocalNodeID set to 0. Follower nodes ignore this setting.
1973This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.3
1974aPLCANodeCount. The valid range for this attribute is [1 .. 255].
1975
1976When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_TO_TMR`` attribute indicates the
1977configured value of the transmit opportunity timer in bit-times. This value
1978must be set equal across all nodes sharing the medium for PLCA to work
1979correctly. This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.5
1980aPLCATransmitOpportunityTimer. The valid range for this attribute is
1981[0 .. 255].
1982
1983When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_CNT`` attribute indicates the
1984configured number of extra packets that the node is allowed to send during a
1985single transmit opportunity. By default, this attribute is 0, meaning that
1986the node can only send a single frame per TO. When greater than 0, the PLCA RS
1987keeps the TO after any transmission, waiting for the MAC to send a new frame
1988for up to aPLCABurstTimer BTs. This can only happen a number of times per PLCA
1989cycle up to the value of this parameter. After that, the burst is over and the
1990normal counting of TOs resumes. This option is corresponding to
1991``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.6 aPLCAMaxBurstCount. The valid range for this
1992attribute is [0 .. 255].
1993
1994When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_TMR`` attribute indicates how
1995many bit-times the PLCA RS waits for the MAC to initiate a new transmission
1996when aPLCAMaxBurstCount is greater than 0. If the MAC fails to send a new
1997frame within this time, the burst ends and the counting of TOs resumes.
1998Otherwise, the new frame is sent as part of the current burst. This option
1999is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.7 aPLCABurstTimer. The
2000valid range for this attribute is [0 .. 255]. Although, the value should be
2001set greater than the Inter-Frame-Gap (IFG) time of the MAC (plus some margin)
2002for PLCA burst mode to work as intended.

2157This message merely schedules the update process and returns immediately
2158without blocking. The process then runs asynchronously.
2159Since it can take several minutes to complete, during the update process
2160notifications are emitted from the kernel to user space updating it about
2161the status and progress.
2162
2163The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_FILE_NAME`` attribute encodes the firmware
2164image file name. The firmware image is downloaded to the transceiver module,
2165validated, run and committed.
2166
2167The optional ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_PASSWORD`` attribute encodes a password
2168that might be required as part of the transceiver module firmware update
2169process.
2170
2171The firmware update process can take several minutes to complete. Therefore,
2172during the update process notifications are emitted from the kernel to user
2173space updating it about the status and progress.

2195    :identifiers: ethtool_module_fw_flash_status
2196
2197The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_STATUS_MSG`` attribute encodes a status message
2198string.
2199
2200The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_DONE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_TOTAL``
2201attributes encode the completed and total amount of work, respectively.

2203PHY_GET
2204=======
2205
2206Retrieve information about a given Ethernet PHY sitting on the link. The DO
2207operation returns all available information about dev->phydev. User can also
2208specify a PHY_INDEX, in which case the DO request returns information about that
2209specific PHY.
2210
2211As there can be more than one PHY, the DUMP operation can be used to list the PHYs
2212present on a given interface, by passing an interface index or name in
2213the dump request.
