=============================
Netlink interface for ethtool
=============================
Basic information
=================
Netlink interface for ethtool uses generic netlink family ``ethtool``
(userspace application should use macros ``ETHTOOL_GENL_NAME`` and
``ETHTOOL_GENL_VERSION`` defined in ``<linux/ethtool_netlink.h>`` uapi
header). This family does not use a specific header, all information in
requests and replies is passed using netlink attributes.
The ethtool netlink interface uses extended ACK for error and warning
reporting, userspace application developers are encouraged to make these
messages available to user in a suitable way.
Requests can be divided into three categories: "get" (retrieving information),
"set" (setting parameters) and "action" (invoking an action).
All "set" and "action" type requests require admin privileges
(``CAP_NET_ADMIN`` in the namespace). Most "get" type requests are allowed for
anyone but there are exceptions (where the response contains sensitive
information). In some cases, the request as such is allowed for anyone but
unprivileged users have attributes with sensitive information (e.g.
wake-on-lan password) omitted.
Conventions
===========
Attributes which represent a boolean value usually use NLA_U8 type so that we
can distinguish three states: "on", "off" and "not present" (meaning the
information is not available in "get" requests or value is not to be changed
in "set" requests). For these attributes, the "true" value should be passed as
number 1 but any non-zero value should be understood as "true" by recipient.
In the tables below, "bool" denotes NLA_U8 attributes interpreted in this way.
In the message structure descriptions below, if an attribute name is suffixed
with "+", parent nest can contain multiple attributes of the same type. This
implements an array of entries.
Attributes that need to be filled-in by device drivers and that are dumped to
user space based on whether they are valid or not should not use zero as a
valid value. This avoids the need to explicitly signal the validity of the
attribute in the device driver API.
Request header
==============
Each request or reply message contains a nested attribute with common header.
Structure of this header is
============================== ====== =============================
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_INDEX`` u32 device ifindex
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME`` string device name
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS`` u32 flags common for all requests
============================== ====== =============================
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_INDEX`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME`` identify the
device message relates to. One of them is sufficient in requests, if both are
used, they must identify the same device. Some requests, e.g. global string
sets, do not require device identification. Most ``GET`` requests also allow
dump requests without device identification to query the same information for
all devices providing it (each device in a separate message).
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS`` is a bitmap of request flags common for all request
types. The interpretation of these flags is the same for all request types but
the flags may not apply to requests. Recognized flags are:
================================= ===================================
``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS`` use compact format bitsets in reply
``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` omit optional reply (_SET and _ACT)
``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS`` include optional device statistics
================================= ===================================
New request flags should follow the general idea that if the flag is not set,
the behaviour is backward compatible, i.e. requests from old clients not aware
of the flag should be interpreted the way the client expects. A client must
not set flags it does not understand.
Bit sets
========
For short bitmaps of (reasonably) fixed length, standard ``NLA_BITFIELD32``
type is used. For arbitrary length bitmaps, ethtool netlink uses a nested
attribute with contents of one of two forms: compact (two binary bitmaps
representing bit values and mask of affected bits) and bit-by-bit (list of
bits identified by either index or name).
Verbose (bit-by-bit) bitsets allow sending symbolic names for bits together
with their values which saves a round trip (when the bitset is passed in a
request) or at least a second request (when the bitset is in a reply). This is
useful for one shot applications like traditional ethtool command. On the
other hand, long running applications like ethtool monitor (displaying
notifications) or network management daemons may prefer fetching the names
only once and using compact form to save message size. Notifications from
ethtool netlink interface always use compact form for bitsets.
A bitset can represent either a value/mask pair (``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``
not set) or a single bitmap (``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` set). In requests
modifying a bitmap, the former changes the bit set in mask to values set in
value and preserves the rest; the latter sets the bits set in the bitmap and
clears the rest.
Compact form: nested (bitset) attribute contents:
============================ ====== ============================
``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` flag no mask, only a list
``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` u32 number of significant bits
``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_VALUE`` binary bitmap of bit values
``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` binary bitmap of valid bits
============================ ====== ============================
Value and mask must have length at least ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` bits
rounded up to a multiple of 32 bits. They consist of 32-bit words in host byte
order, words ordered from least significant to most significant (i.e. the same
way as bitmaps are passed with ioctl interface).
For compact form, ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_VALUE`` are
mandatory. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` attribute is mandatory if
``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` is not set (bitset represents a value/mask pair);
if ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` is not set, ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` is not
allowed (bitset represents a single bitmap.
Kernel bit set length may differ from userspace length if older application is
used on newer kernel or vice versa. If userspace bitmap is longer, an error is
issued only if the request actually tries to set values of some bits not
recognized by kernel.
Bit-by-bit form: nested (bitset) attribute contents:
+------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` | flag | no mask, only a list |
+------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` | u32 | number of significant bits |
+------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS`` | nested | array of bits |
+-+----------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS_BIT+`` | nested | one bit |
+-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_INDEX`` | u32 | bit index (0 for LSB) |
+-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_NAME`` | string | bit name |
+-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
| | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE`` | flag | present if bit is set |
+-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
Bit size is optional for bit-by-bit form. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS`` nest can
only contain ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS_BIT`` attributes but there can be an
arbitrary number of them. A bit may be identified by its index or by its
name. When used in requests, listed bits are set to 0 or 1 according to
``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE``, the rest is preserved. A request fails if
index exceeds kernel bit length or if name is not recognized.
When ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` flag is present, bitset is interpreted as
a simple bitmap. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE`` attributes are not used in
such case. Such bitset represents a bitmap with listed bits set and the rest
zero.
In requests, application can use either form. Form used by kernel in reply is
determined by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS`` flag in flags field of request
header. Semantics of value and mask depends on the attribute.

======================================== =================================
``GET`` requests are sent by userspace applications to retrieve device
information. They usually do not contain any message specific attributes.
Kernel replies with corresponding "GET_REPLY" message. For most types, ``GET``
request with ``NLM_F_DUMP`` and no device identification can be used to query
the information for all devices supporting the request.
If the data can be also modified, corresponding ``SET`` message with the same
layout as corresponding ``GET_REPLY`` is used to request changes. Only
attributes where a change is requested are included in such request (also, not
all attributes may be changed). Replies to most ``SET`` request consist only
of error code and extack; if kernel provides additional data, it is sent in
the form of corresponding ``SET_REPLY`` message which can be suppressed by
setting ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header.
Data modification also triggers sending a ``NTF`` message with a notification.
These usually bear only a subset of attributes which was affected by the
change. The same notification is issued if the data is modified using other
means (mostly ioctl ethtool interface). Unlike notifications from ethtool
netlink code which are only sent if something actually changed, notifications
triggered by ioctl interface may be sent even if the request did not actually
change any data.
``ACT`` messages request kernel (driver) to perform a specific action. If some
information is reported by kernel (which can be suppressed by setting
``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header), the reply takes form of
an ``ACT_REPLY`` message. Performing an action also triggers a notification
(``NTF`` message).
Later sections describe the format and semantics of these messages.
STRSET_GET
==========
Requests contents of a string set as provided by ioctl commands
``ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO`` and ``ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS.`` String sets are not user
writeable so that the corresponding ``STRSET_SET`` message is only used in
kernel replies. There are two types of string sets: global (independent of
a device, e.g. device feature names) and device specific (e.g. device private
flags).
Request contents:
+---------------------------------------+--------+------------------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_HEADER`` | nested | request header |
+---------------------------------------+--------+------------------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS`` | nested | string set to request |
+-+-------------------------------------+--------+------------------------+

Kernel response contents:
+---------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+

+---------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+

+-+-+-+-+-------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS_ONLY`` | flag | return only counts |
+---------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+
Device identification in request header is optional. Depending on its presence
a and ``NLM_F_DUMP`` flag, there are three type of ``STRSET_GET`` requests:
- no ``NLM_F_DUMP,`` no device: get "global" stringsets
- no ``NLM_F_DUMP``, with device: get string sets related to the device
- ``NLM_F_DUMP``, no device: get device related string sets for all devices
If there is no ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS`` array, all string sets of
requested type are returned, otherwise only those specified in the request.
Flag ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS_ONLY`` tells kernel to only return string
counts of the sets, not the actual strings.
LINKINFO_GET
============
Requests link settings as provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS`` except for
link modes and autonegotiation related information. The request does not use
any attributes.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_HEADER`` nested request header
==================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_PORT`` u8 physical port
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_PHYADDR`` u8 phy MDIO address
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_TP_MDIX`` u8 MDI(-X) status
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_TP_MDIX_CTRL`` u8 MDI(-X) control
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_TRANSCEIVER`` u8 transceiver
==================================== ====== ==========================
Attributes and their values have the same meaning as matching members of the
corresponding ioctl structures.
``LINKINFO_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply message for all
devices supporting the request).
LINKINFO_SET
============
``LINKINFO_SET`` request allows setting some of the attributes reported by

MDI(-X) status and transceiver cannot be set, request with the corresponding
attributes is rejected.
LINKMODES_GET
=============
Requests link modes (supported, advertised and peer advertised) and related
information (autonegotiation status, link speed and duplex) as provided by
``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS``. The request does not use any attributes.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_HEADER`` nested request header

For ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS``, value represents advertised modes and mask
represents supported modes. ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_PEER`` in the reply is a bit
list.
``LINKMODES_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
devices supporting the request).
LINKMODES_SET
=============
Request contents:
========================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_AUTONEG`` u8 autonegotiation status

``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_LANES`` u32 lanes
========================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` bit set allows setting advertised link modes. If
autonegotiation is on (either set now or kept from before), advertised modes
are not changed (no ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` attribute) and at least one
of speed, duplex and lanes is specified, kernel adjusts advertised modes to all
supported modes matching speed, duplex, lanes or all (whatever is specified).
This autoselection is done on ethtool side with ioctl interface, netlink
interface is supposed to allow requesting changes without knowing what exactly
kernel supports.
LINKSTATE_GET
=============
Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have
any attributes.

For most NIC drivers, the value of ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` returns
carrier flag provided by ``netif_carrier_ok()`` but there are drivers which
define their own handler.
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` are
optional values. ethtool core can provide either both
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE``,
or only ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE``, or none of them.
``LINKSTATE_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all

DEBUG_GET
=========
Requests debugging settings of a device. At the moment, only message mask is
provided.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_HEADER`` nested request header
==================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_MSGMASK`` bitset message mask
==================================== ====== ==========================
The message mask (``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_MSGMASK``) is equal to message level as
provided by ``ETHTOOL_GMSGLVL`` and set by ``ETHTOOL_SMSGLVL`` in ioctl
interface. While it is called message level there for historical reasons, most
drivers and almost all newer drivers use it as a mask of enabled message
classes (represented by ``NETIF_MSG_*`` constants); therefore netlink
interface follows its actual use in practice.
``DEBUG_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
devices supporting the request).
DEBUG_SET
=========
Set or update debugging settings of a device. At the moment, only message mask
is supported.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_MSGMASK`` bitset message mask
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_DEBUG_MSGMASK`` bit set allows setting or modifying mask of
enabled debugging message types for the device.
WOL_GET
=======
Query device wake-on-lan settings. Unlike most "GET" type requests,
``ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_GET`` requires (netns) ``CAP_NET_ADMIN`` privileges as it
(potentially) provides SecureOn(tm) password which is confidential.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_HEADER`` nested request header

``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_SOPASS`` binary SecureOn(tm) password
==================================== ====== ==========================
In reply, ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_MODES`` mask consists of modes supported by the
device, value of modes which are enabled. ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_SOPASS`` is only
included in reply if ``WAKE_MAGICSECURE`` mode is supported.
WOL_SET
=======

Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_MODES`` bitset enabled WoL modes

FEATURES_GET
============
Gets netdev features like ``ETHTOOL_GFEATURES`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_HEADER`` nested request header
==================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_HW`` bitset dev->hw_features
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED`` bitset dev->wanted_features
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE`` bitset dev->features
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_NOCHANGE`` bitset NETIF_F_NEVER_CHANGE
==================================== ====== ==========================
Bitmaps in kernel response have the same meaning as bitmaps used in ioctl
interference but attribute names are different (they are based on
corresponding members of struct net_device). Legacy "flags" are not provided,
if userspace needs them (most likely only ethtool for backward compatibility),
it can calculate their values from related feature bits itself.
ETHA_FEATURES_HW uses mask consisting of all features recognized by kernel (to
provide all names when using verbose bitmap format), the other three use no
mask (simple bit lists).
FEATURES_SET
============
Request to set netdev features like ``ETHTOOL_SFEATURES`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED`` bitset requested features
==================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED`` bitset diff wanted vs. result
``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE`` bitset diff old vs. new active
==================================== ====== ==========================
Request contains only one bitset which can be either value/mask pair (request
to change specific feature bits and leave the rest) or only a value (request
to set all features to specified set).
As request is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks, optional
kernel reply (can be suppressed by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request
header) informs client about the actual result. ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED``
reports the difference between client request and actual result: mask consists
of bits which differ between requested features and result (dev->features
after the operation), value consists of values of these bits in the request
(i.e. negated values from resulting features). ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE``
reports the difference between old and new dev->features: mask consists of
bits which have changed, values are their values in new dev->features (after
the operation).
``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF`` notification is sent not only if device features
are modified using ``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET`` request or on of ethtool ioctl
request but also each time features are modified with netdev_update_features()
or netdev_change_features().
PRIVFLAGS_GET
=============
Gets private flags like ``ETHTOOL_GPFLAGS`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_HEADER`` nested request header
==================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` bitset private flags
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` is a bitset with values of device private flags.
These flags are defined by driver, their number and names (and also meaning)
are device dependent. For compact bitset format, names can be retrieved as
``ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS`` string set. If verbose bitset format is requested,
response uses all private flags supported by the device as mask so that client
gets the full information without having to fetch the string set with names.
PRIVFLAGS_SET
=============
Sets or modifies values of device private flags like ``ETHTOOL_SPFLAGS``
ioctl request.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` bitset private flags
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` can either set the whole set of private flags or
modify only values of some of them.
RINGS_GET
=========
Gets ring sizes like ``ETHTOOL_GRINGPARAM`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_HEADER`` nested request header
==================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
======================================= ====== ===========================
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_MAX`` u32 max size of RX ring
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_MINI_MAX`` u32 max size of RX mini ring

``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_MINI`` u32 size of RX mini ring
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_JUMBO`` u32 size of RX jumbo ring
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX`` u32 size of TX ring
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_BUF_LEN`` u32 size of buffers on the ring
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TCP_DATA_SPLIT`` u8 TCP header / data split
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_CQE_SIZE`` u32 Size of TX/RX CQE
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH`` u8 flag of TX Push mode
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_PUSH`` u8 flag of RX Push mode
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN`` u32 size of TX push buffer
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN_MAX`` u32 max size of TX push buffer
======================================= ====== ===========================
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TCP_DATA_SPLIT`` indicates whether the device is usable with
page-flipping TCP zero-copy receive (``getsockopt(TCP_ZEROCOPY_RECEIVE)``).
If enabled the device is configured to place frame headers and data into
separate buffers. The device configuration must make it possible to receive
full memory pages of data, for example because MTU is high enough or through
HW-GRO.
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_[RX|TX]_PUSH`` flag is used to enable descriptor fast
path to send or receive packets. In ordinary path, driver fills descriptors in DRAM and
notifies NIC hardware. In fast path, driver pushes descriptors to the device
through MMIO writes, thus reducing the latency. However, enabling this feature
may increase the CPU cost. Drivers may enforce additional per-packet
eligibility checks (e.g. on packet size).
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN`` specifies the maximum number of bytes of a
transmitted packet a driver can push directly to the underlying device
('push' mode). Pushing some of the payload bytes to the device has the
advantages of reducing latency for small packets by avoiding DMA mapping (same
as ``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH`` parameter) as well as allowing the underlying
device to process packet headers ahead of fetching its payload.
This can help the device to make fast actions based on the packet's headers.
This is similar to the "tx-copybreak" parameter, which copies the packet to a
preallocated DMA memory area instead of mapping new memory. However,
tx-push-buff parameter copies the packet directly to the device to allow the
device to take faster actions on the packet.
RINGS_SET
=========
Sets ring sizes like ``ETHTOOL_SRINGPARAM`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ===========================
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX`` u32 size of RX ring

``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_BUF_LEN`` u32 size of buffers on the ring
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_CQE_SIZE`` u32 Size of TX/RX CQE
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH`` u8 flag of TX Push mode
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_RX_PUSH`` u8 flag of RX Push mode
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN`` u32 size of TX push buffer
==================================== ====== ===========================
Kernel checks that requested ring sizes do not exceed limits reported by
driver. Driver may impose additional constraints and may not suspport all
attributes.
``ETHTOOL_A_RINGS_CQE_SIZE`` specifies the completion queue event size.
Completion queue events(CQE) are the events posted by NIC to indicate the
completion status of a packet when the packet is sent(like send success or
error) or received(like pointers to packet fragments). The CQE size parameter
enables to modify the CQE size other than default size if NIC supports it.
A bigger CQE can have more receive buffer pointers inturn NIC can transfer
a bigger frame from wire. Based on the NIC hardware, the overall completion
queue size can be adjusted in the driver if CQE size is modified.

Attributes are only included in reply if their value is not zero or the
corresponding bit in ``ethtool_ops::supported_coalesce_params`` is set (i.e.
they are declared as supported by driver).
Timer reset mode (``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_TX`` and
``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_USE_CQE_RX``) controls the interaction between packet
arrival and the various time based delay parameters. By default timers are
expected to limit the max delay between any packet arrival/departure and a
corresponding interrupt. In this mode timer should be started by packet
arrival (sometimes delivery of previous interrupt) and reset when interrupt
is delivered.
Setting the appropriate attribute to 1 will enable ``CQE`` mode, where
each packet event resets the timer. In this mode timer is used to force
the interrupt if queue goes idle, while busy queues depend on the packet
limit to trigger interrupts.
Tx aggregation consists of copying frames into a contiguous buffer so that they
can be submitted as a single IO operation. ``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_BYTES``
describes the maximum size in bytes for the submitted buffer.
``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_MAX_FRAMES`` describes the maximum number of frames
that can be aggregated into a single buffer.
``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_AGGR_TIME_USECS`` describes the amount of time in usecs,
counted since the first packet arrival in an aggregated block, after which the
block should be sent.
This feature is mainly of interest for specific USB devices which does not cope
well with frequent small-sized URBs transmissions.
``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_RX_PROFILE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_COALESCE_TX_PROFILE`` refer
to DIM parameters, see `Generic Network Dynamic Interrupt Moderation (Net DIM)
<https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/net_dim.rst>`_.

=========================================== ====== =======================
Request is rejected if it attributes declared as unsupported by driver (i.e.
such that the corresponding bit in ``ethtool_ops::supported_coalesce_params``
is not set), regardless of their values. Driver may impose additional
constraints on coalescing parameters and their values.
Compared to requests issued via the ``ioctl()`` netlink version of this request
will try harder to make sure that values specified by the user have been applied
and may call the driver twice.
PAUSE_GET

Request contents:
===================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_EEE_HEADER`` nested request header
===================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
===================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_EEE_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_EEE_MODES_OURS`` bool supported/advertised modes

===================================== ====== ==========================
In ``ETHTOOL_A_EEE_MODES_OURS``, mask consists of link modes for which EEE is
enabled, value of link modes for which EEE is advertised. Link modes for which
peer advertises EEE are listed in ``ETHTOOL_A_EEE_MODES_PEER`` (no mask). The
netlink interface allows reporting EEE status for all link modes but only
first 32 are provided by the ``ethtool_ops`` callback.
EEE_SET
=======
Sets Energy Efficient Ethernet parameters like ``ETHTOOL_SEEE`` ioctl request.
Request contents:

CABLE_TEST
==========
Start a cable test.
Request contents:
==================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_HEADER`` nested request header
==================================== ====== ==========================
Notification contents:
An Ethernet cable typically contains 1, 2 or 4 pairs. The length of
the pair can only be measured when there is a fault in the pair and
hence a reflection. Information about the fault may not be available,
depending on the specific hardware. Hence the contents of the notify
message are mostly optional. The attributes can be repeated an
arbitrary number of times, in an arbitrary order, for an arbitrary
number of pairs.
The example shows the notification sent when the test is completed for
a T2 cable, i.e. two pairs. One pair is OK and hence has no length
information. The second pair has a fault and does have length
information.

CABLE_TEST TDR
==============
Start a cable test and report raw TDR data
Request contents:
+--------------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+

+-+-+----------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+
| | ``ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_CFG_PAIR`` | u8 | pair to test |
+-+-+----------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+
The ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_CFG is optional, as well as all members
of the nest. All distances are expressed in centimeters. The PHY takes
the distances as a guide, and rounds to the nearest distance it
actually supports. If a pair is passed, only that one pair will be
tested. Otherwise all pairs are tested.
Notification contents:
Raw TDR data is gathered by sending a pulse down the cable and
recording the amplitude of the reflected pulse for a given distance.
It can take a number of seconds to collect TDR data, especial if the
full 100 meters is probed at 1 meter intervals. When the test is
started a notification will be sent containing just
ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_STARTED.
When the test has completed a second notification will be sent
containing ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_COMPLETED and the TDR data.
The message may optionally contain the amplitude of the pulse send
down the cable. This is measured in mV. A reflection should not be
bigger than transmitted pulse.
Before the raw TDR data should be an ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_STEP
nest containing information about the distance along the cable for the
first reading, the last reading, and the step between each
reading. Distances are measured in centimeters. These should be the
exact values the PHY used. These may be different to what the user
requested, if the native measurement resolution is greater than 1 cm.
For each step along the cable, a ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_AMPLITUDE is
used to report the amplitude of the reflection for a given pair.

FEC_GET
=======
Gets FEC configuration and state like ``ETHTOOL_GFECPARAM`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
===================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_HEADER`` nested request header
===================================== ====== ==========================
Kernel response contents:
===================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` bitset configured modes
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` bool FEC mode auto selection
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_ACTIVE`` u32 index of active FEC mode
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_STATS`` nested FEC statistics
===================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_ACTIVE`` is the bit index of the FEC link mode currently
active on the interface. This attribute may not be present if device does
not support FEC.
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` are only meaningful when
autonegotiation is disabled. If ``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` is non-zero driver will
select the FEC mode automatically based on the parameters of the SFP module.
This is equivalent to the ``ETHTOOL_FEC_AUTO`` bit of the ioctl interface.
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` carry the current FEC configuration using link mode
bits (rather than old ``ETHTOOL_FEC_*`` bits).
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_STATS`` are reported if ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS`` was set in
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``.
Each attribute carries an array of 64bit statistics. First entry in the array
contains the total number of events on the port, while the following entries
are counters corresponding to lanes/PCS instances. The number of entries in
the array will be:
+--------------+---------------------------------------------+
| `0` | device does not support FEC statistics |
+--------------+---------------------------------------------+
| `1` | device does not support per-lane break down |
+--------------+---------------------------------------------+
| `1 + #lanes` | device has full support for FEC stats |
+--------------+---------------------------------------------+
Drivers fill in the statistics in the following structure:
.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/ethtool.h
:identifiers: ethtool_fec_stats
FEC_SET
=======
Sets FEC parameters like ``ETHTOOL_SFECPARAM`` ioctl request.
Request contents:
===================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` bitset configured modes
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` bool FEC mode auto selection
===================================== ====== ==========================
``FEC_SET`` is only meaningful when autonegotiation is disabled. Otherwise
FEC mode is selected as part of autonegotiation.
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_MODES`` selects which FEC mode should be used. It's recommended
to set only one bit, if multiple bits are set driver may choose between them
in an implementation specific way.
``ETHTOOL_A_FEC_AUTO`` requests the driver to choose FEC mode based on SFP
module parameters. This does not mean autonegotiation.
MODULE_EEPROM_GET
=================
Fetch module EEPROM data dump.
This interface is designed to allow dumps of at most 1/2 page at once. This
means only dumps of 128 (or less) bytes are allowed, without crossing half page
boundary located at offset 128. For pages other than 0 only high 128 bytes are
accessible.
Request contents:
======================================= ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_OFFSET`` u32 offset within a page
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_LENGTH`` u32 amount of bytes to read
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_PAGE`` u8 page number
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_BANK`` u8 bank number
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_I2C_ADDRESS`` u8 page I2C address

+---------------------------------------------+--------+---------------------+
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_EEPROM_DATA`` has an attribute length equal to the amount of
bytes driver actually read.
STATS_GET
=========
Get standard statistics for the interface. Note that this is not
a re-implementation of ``ETHTOOL_GSTATS`` which exposed driver-defined
stats.
Request contents:

+-+---------------------------------+--------+--------------------------------+
Users specify which groups of statistics they are requesting via
the ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GROUPS`` bitset. Currently defined values are:
====================== ======== ===============================================
ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_MAC eth-mac Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC statistics (30.3.1.1.*)
ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_PHY eth-phy Basic IEEE 802.3 PHY statistics (30.3.2.1.*)
ETHTOOL_STATS_ETH_CTRL eth-ctrl Basic IEEE 802.3 MAC Ctrl statistics (30.3.3.*)
ETHTOOL_STATS_RMON rmon RMON (RFC 2819) statistics
====================== ======== ===============================================
Each group should have a corresponding ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` in the reply.
``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_ID`` identifies which group's statistics nest contains.
``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_SS_ID`` identifies the string set ID for the names of
the statistics in the group, if available.
Statistics are added to the ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` nest under
``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_STAT``. ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_STAT`` should contain
single 8 byte (u64) attribute inside - the type of that attribute is
the statistic ID and the value is the value of the statistic.
Each group has its own interpretation of statistic IDs.
Attribute IDs correspond to strings from the string set identified
by ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_SS_ID``. Complex statistics (such as RMON histogram
entries) are also listed inside ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP`` and do not have
a string defined in the string set.
RMON "histogram" counters count number of packets within given size range.
Because RFC does not specify the ranges beyond the standard 1518 MTU devices
differ in definition of buckets. For this reason the definition of packet ranges
is left to each driver.
``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_HIST_RX`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_GRP_HIST_TX`` nests
contain the following attributes:
================================= ====== ===================================
ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_BKT_LOW u32 low bound of the packet size bucket
ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_BKT_HI u32 high bound of the bucket
ETHTOOL_A_STATS_RMON_HIST_VAL u64 packet counter
================================= ====== ===================================
Low and high bounds are inclusive, for example:
============================= ==== ====
RFC statistic low high
============================= ==== ====
etherStatsPkts64Octets 0 64
etherStatsPkts512to1023Octets 512 1023
============================= ==== ====
``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC`` is optional. Similar to ``PAUSE_GET``, it takes values
from ``enum ethtool_mac_stats_src``. If absent from the request, stats will be
provided with an ``ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC`` attribute in the response equal to
``ETHTOOL_MAC_STATS_SRC_AGGREGATE``.

``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_HEADER`` nested reply header
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY`` u8 power mode policy
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE`` u8 operational power mode
====================================== ====== ==========================
The optional ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY`` attribute encodes the
transceiver module power mode policy enforced by the host. The default policy
is driver-dependent, but "auto" is the recommended default and it should be
implemented by new drivers and drivers where conformance to a legacy behavior
is not critical.
The optional ``ETHTHOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE`` attribute encodes the operational
power mode policy of the transceiver module. It is only reported when a module
is plugged-in. Possible values are:
.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
:identifiers: ethtool_module_power_mode
MODULE_SET

Sets transceiver module parameters.
Request contents:
====================================== ====== ==========================
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY`` u8 power mode policy
====================================== ====== ==========================
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY`` attribute is used
to set the transceiver module power policy enforced by the host. Possible
values are:
.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
:identifiers: ethtool_module_power_mode_policy
For SFF-8636 modules, low power mode is forced by the host according to table
6-10 in revision 2.10a of the specification.
For CMIS modules, low power mode is forced by the host according to table 6-12
in revision 5.0 of the specification.

====================================== ====== =============================
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL`` attribute is used
to control PoDL PSE Admin functions. This option is implementing
``IEEE 802.3-2018`` 30.15.1.2.1 acPoDLPSEAdminControl. See
``ETHTOOL_A_PODL_PSE_ADMIN_STATE`` for supported values.
The same goes for ``ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_ADMIN_CONTROL`` implementing
``IEEE 802.3-2022`` 30.9.1.2.1 acPSEAdminControl.
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_AVAIL_PWR_LIMIT`` attribute is
used to control the available power value limit for C33 PSE in milliwatts.
This attribute corresponds to the `pse_available_power` variable described in
``IEEE 802.3-2022`` 33.2.4.4 Variables and `pse_avail_pwr` in 145.2.5.4
Variables, which are described in power classes.
It was decided to use milliwatts for this interface to unify it with other
power monitoring interfaces, which also use milliwatts, and to align with
various existing products that document power consumption in watts rather than
classes. If power limit configuration based on classes is needed, the
conversion can be done in user space, for example by ethtool.

the node is allowed to send
within a single TO
``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_TMR`` u32 Time to wait for the MAC to
transmit a new frame before
terminating the burst
====================================== ====== =============================
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_VERSION`` attribute indicates which
standard and version the PLCA management interface complies to. When not set,
the interface is vendor-specific and (possibly) supplied by the driver.
The OPEN Alliance SIG specifies a standard register map for 10BASE-T1S PHYs
embedding the PLCA Reconcialiation Sublayer. See "10BASE-T1S PLCA Management
Registers" at https://www.opensig.org/about/specifications/.
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_ENABLED`` attribute indicates the
administrative state of the PLCA RS. When not set, the node operates in "plain"
CSMA/CD mode. This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.1
aPLCAAdminState / 30.16.1.2.1 acPLCAAdminControl.
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_NODE_ID`` attribute indicates the
configured local node ID of the PHY. This ID determines which transmit
opportunity (TO) is reserved for the node to transmit into. This option is
corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.4 aPLCALocalNodeID. The valid
range for this attribute is [0 .. 255] where 255 means "not configured".
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_NODE_CNT`` attribute indicates the
configured maximum number of PLCA nodes on the mixing-segment. This number
determines the total number of transmit opportunities generated during a
PLCA cycle. This attribute is relevant only for the PLCA coordinator, which is
the node with aPLCALocalNodeID set to 0. Follower nodes ignore this setting.
This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.3
aPLCANodeCount. The valid range for this attribute is [1 .. 255].
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_TO_TMR`` attribute indicates the
configured value of the transmit opportunity timer in bit-times. This value
must be set equal across all nodes sharing the medium for PLCA to work
correctly. This option is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.5
aPLCATransmitOpportunityTimer. The valid range for this attribute is
[0 .. 255].
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_CNT`` attribute indicates the
configured number of extra packets that the node is allowed to send during a
single transmit opportunity. By default, this attribute is 0, meaning that
the node can only send a single frame per TO. When greater than 0, the PLCA RS
keeps the TO after any transmission, waiting for the MAC to send a new frame
for up to aPLCABurstTimer BTs. This can only happen a number of times per PLCA
cycle up to the value of this parameter. After that, the burst is over and the
normal counting of TOs resumes. This option is corresponding to
``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.6 aPLCAMaxBurstCount. The valid range for this
attribute is [0 .. 255].
When set, the optional ``ETHTOOL_A_PLCA_BURST_TMR`` attribute indicates how
many bit-times the PLCA RS waits for the MAC to initiate a new transmission
when aPLCAMaxBurstCount is greater than 0. If the MAC fails to send a new
frame within this time, the burst ends and the counting of TOs resumes.
Otherwise, the new frame is sent as part of the current burst. This option
is corresponding to ``IEEE 802.3cg-2019`` 30.16.1.1.7 aPLCABurstTimer. The
valid range for this attribute is [0 .. 255]. Although, the value should be
set greater than the Inter-Frame-Gap (IFG) time of the MAC (plus some margin)
for PLCA burst mode to work as intended.

The attributes are populated by the device driver through the following
structure:
.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/ethtool.h
:identifiers: ethtool_mm_state
The ``ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_STATUS`` will report one of the values from
.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
:identifiers: ethtool_mm_verify_status
If ``ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_ENABLED`` was passed as false in the ``MM_SET``
command, ``ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_STATUS`` will report either
``ETHTOOL_MM_VERIFY_STATUS_INITIAL`` or ``ETHTOOL_MM_VERIFY_STATUS_DISABLED``,
otherwise it should report one of the other states.
It is recommended that drivers start with the pMAC disabled, and enable it upon
user space request. It is also recommended that user space does not depend upon
the default values from ``ETHTOOL_MSG_MM_GET`` requests.
``ETHTOOL_A_MM_STATS`` are reported if ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS`` was set in
``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``. The attribute will be empty if driver did not
report any statistics. Drivers fill in the statistics in the following

MODULE_FW_FLASH_ACT
===================
Flashes transceiver module firmware.
Request contents:
======================================= ====== ===========================
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_HEADER`` nested request header
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_FILE_NAME`` string firmware image file name
``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_PASSWORD`` u32 transceiver module password
======================================= ====== ===========================
The firmware update process consists of three logical steps:
1. Downloading a firmware image to the transceiver module and validating it.
2. Running the firmware image.
3. Committing the firmware image so that it is run upon reset.
When flash command is given, those three steps are taken in that order.
This message merely schedules the update process and returns immediately
without blocking. The process then runs asynchronously.
Since it can take several minutes to complete, during the update process
notifications are emitted from the kernel to user space updating it about
the status and progress.
The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_FILE_NAME`` attribute encodes the firmware
image file name. The firmware image is downloaded to the transceiver module,
validated, run and committed.
The optional ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_PASSWORD`` attribute encodes a password
that might be required as part of the transceiver module firmware update
process.
The firmware update process can take several minutes to complete. Therefore,
during the update process notifications are emitted from the kernel to user
space updating it about the status and progress.
Notification contents:
+---------------------------------------------------+--------+----------------+

+---------------------------------------------------+--------+----------------+
| ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_TOTAL`` | uint | total |
+---------------------------------------------------+--------+----------------+
The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_STATUS`` attribute encodes the current status
of the firmware update process. Possible values are:
.. kernel-doc:: include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h
:identifiers: ethtool_module_fw_flash_status
The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_STATUS_MSG`` attribute encodes a status message
string.
The ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_DONE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_FW_FLASH_TOTAL``
attributes encode the completed and total amount of work, respectively.
