[PATCH 0/2] User-space Ethtool

[PATCH 0/2] User-space Ethtool

[Liang-Min Larry Wang]

This implementation is designed to provide a familar interface for applications that rely on kernel-space driver to support ethtool_op and net_device_op for device management. The initial implementation focuses on ops that can be implemented through existing netdev APIs. More ops will be supported in latter release.

[PATCH 2/2] ethtool: add new library to provide ethtool-alike APIs

[Liang-Min Larry Wang]

adding a new library based upon ethdev APIs to provide API's that bear
the same functionality as ethtool_ops (linux/ethtool.h) and net_device_ops
(linux/netdevice.h).

No. this won't work. for some devices.

Please use mac_addr_set hook added in recent DPDK

Providing a hook to access more functionality is good and compatiablity
with old API's is helpful.  Too bad ethtool is kind of a clunky old
inflexible, and easily broken with changes. But that is not your fault.

Duplicating eth_stats in ethtool is not helpful.
This is actively discouraged for Linux device drivers.

(I have a typo of David's email, and I corrected it in this email)
This new library is designed to support ethtool alike interface, some of the implementation will be just a placeholder. The rte_ethtool_net_get_stats64 is designed as a place holder to support net_device_ops::ndo_get_stats64. For the legacy support, it is required to provide # of statistic parameters are supported, so caller can allocate right size of buffer to get statistic from device driver.

I tested over ixgbe and igb, and both work. As for your concern, it's legit. I will take your suggestion and make modification.

[PATCH 0/2] User-space Ethtool

[Liang-Min Larry Wang]

This implementation is designed to provide a familar interface for applications that rely on kernel-space driver to support ethtool_op and net_device_op for device management. The initial implementation focuses on ops that can be implemented through existing netdev APIs. More ops will be supported in latter release.
ethtool: adding new ethtool api support

v3 change:
- Fix a build issue
v2 change:
- Implement rte_eth_dev_default_mac_addr_set through dev_ops::mac_addr_set so it would support NIC devices other than ixgbe and igb
