[PATCH net-next v4 00/10] Ethernet Cable test support

[PATCH net-next v4 00/10] Ethernet Cable test support

[Andrew Lunn]

any copper Ethernet PHY have support for performing diagnostics of
the cable. Are the cable shorted, broken, not plugged into anything at
the other end? And they can report roughly how far along the cable any
fault is.

Add infrastructure in ethtool and phylib support for triggering a
cable test and reporting the results. The Marvell 1G PHY driver is
then extended to make use of this infrastructure.

For testing, a modified ethtool(1) can be found here:
https://github.com/lunn/ethtool.git feature/cable-test-v4. This also
contains extra code for TDR dump, which will be added to the kernel in
a later patch series.

Thanks to Chris Healy for extensive testing.

v2:
See individual patches but:

Remove _REPLY messages
Change length into a u32
Grammar fixes
Rename functions for consistency
Extack for cable test already running
Remove ethnl_cable_test_act_ops
Add status attributes
Rename pairs from numbers to letters

v3:

See individual patches but:
Remove ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_ACT_REPLY from documentation
Remove unused cable_test_get_policy
Fixed example in document
Add ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_NEST_* enum
Add ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_NTF to documentation
Poison phydev->skb
Return -EMSGSIZE when ethnl_bcastmsg_put() fails
Return valid error code when nla_nest_start() fails
Use u8 for results
Actually put u32 length into message
s/mavell/marvell/g
Remove include of <uapi/linux/ethtool_netlink.h>
EMSGSIZE when ethnl_bcastmsg_put() fails
Print an error message on failure, since this is a void function.

v4:
See individual patches but:
Remove unwanted blank line
ENOTSUPP->EOPNOTSUPP
Move EINVAL->EMSGSIZE fix to correct patch

[PATCH net-next v4 01/10] net: phy: Add cable test support to state machine

[Andrew Lunn]

Running a cable test is desruptive to normal operation of the PHY and
can take a 5 to 10 seconds to complete. The RTNL lock cannot be held
for this amount of time, and add a new state to the state machine for
running a cable test.

The driver is expected to implement two functions. The first is used
to start a cable test. Once the test has started, it should return.

The second function is called once per second, or on interrupt to
check if the cable test is complete, and to allow the PHY to report
the status.

v2:
Rename phy_cable_test_abort to phy_abort_cable_test
Return different extack when already running test
Use phy_init_hw() to reset the PHY

[PATCH net-next v4 1/1] net: phy: Send notifier when starting the cable test

[Andrew Lunn]

Given that it takes time to run a cable test, send a notify message at
the start, as well as when it is completed.

v3:
EMSGSIZE when ethnl_bcastmsg_put() fails
Print an error message on failure, since this is a void function.

[PATCH net-next v4 02/10] net: phy: Add support for polling cable test

[Andrew Lunn]

Some PHYs are not capable of generating interrupts when a cable test
finished. They do however support interrupts for normal operations,
like link up/down. As such, the PHY state machine would normally not
poll the PHY.

Add support for indicating the PHY state machine must poll the PHY
when performing a cable test.

[PATCH net-next v4 04/10] net: ethtool: Add attributes for cable test reports

[Andrew Lunn]

Add the attributes needed to report cable test results to userspace.
The reports are expected to be per twisted pair. A nested property per
pair can report the result of the cable test. A nested property can
also report the length of the cable to any fault.

v2:
Grammar fixes
Change length from u16 to u32
s/DEV/HEADER/g
Add status attributes
Rename pairs from numbers to letters.

v3:
Fixed example in document
Add ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_NEST_* enum
Add ETHTOOL_MSG_CABLE_TEST_NTF to documentation

+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

[PATCH net-next v4 05/10] net: ethtool: Make helpers public

[Andrew Lunn]

Make some helpers for building ethtool netlink messages available
outside the compilation unit, so they can be used for building
messages which are not simple get/set.

[PATCH net-next v4 06/10] net: ethtool: Add infrastructure for reporting cable test results

[Andrew Lunn]

Provide infrastructure for PHY drivers to report the cable test
results.  A netlink skb is associated to the phydev. Helpers will be
added which can add results to this skb. Once the test has finished
the results are sent to user space.

When netlink ethtool is not part of the kernel configuration stubs are
provided. It is also impossible to trigger a cable test, so the error
code returned by the alloc function is of no consequence.

v2:
Include the status complete in the netlink notification message

v4:
Replace -EINVAL with -EMSGSIZE

[PATCH net-next v4 07/10] net: ethtool: Add helpers for reporting test results

[Andrew Lunn]

The PHY drivers can use these helpers for reporting the results. The
results get translated into netlink attributes which are added to the
pre-allocated skbuf.

v3:
Poison phydev->skb
Return -EMSGSIZE when ethnl_bcastmsg_put() fails
Return valid error code when nla_nest_start() fails
Use u8 for results
Actually put u32 length into message

v4:
s/ENOTSUPP/EOPNOTSUPP/g

[PATCH net-next v4 08/10] net: phy: marvell: Add cable test support

[Andrew Lunn]

The Marvell PHYs have a couple of different register sets for
performing cable tests. Page 7 provides the simplest to use.

v3:
s/mavell/marvell/g
Remove include of <uapi/linux/ethtool_netlink.h>

[Andrew Lunn]

Given that it takes time to run a cable test, send a notify message at
the start, as well as when it is completed.

v3:
EMSGSIZE when ethnl_bcastmsg_put() fails
Print an error message on failure, since this is a void function.

Since ETHTOOL_NETLINK is a bool we end up not enabling it on
allmodconfig builds, (PHYLIB=m so ETHTOOL_NETLINK dependency 
can't be met) - which is v scary for build testing.

Is there a way we can change this dependency? Some REACHABLE shenanigans?

Or since there are just two callbacks maybe phylib can "tell" ethtool
core the pointers to call when it loads?

This has been discussed a few times and it's very irritating to me as well
as allmodconfig is the standard test build I do for all new changes.

Yes this is annoying, I will have some patches posted tonight that
untangle the dependency.
