These patches add netlink based handler to fetch RSS information
using "ethtool -x <eth> [context %d]" command.

Output without --json option
$ethtool -x eno2
RX flow hash indirection table for eno2 with 8 RX ring(s):
    0:      0     0     0     0     0     0     0     0
    8:      1     1     1     1     1     1     1     1
   ...skip similar lines...
  120:      7     7     7     7     7     7     7     7
RSS hash key:
be:c3:13:a6:59:9a:c3:c5:d8:60:75:2b:4c:b2:12:cc:5c:4e:34:
8a:f9:ab:16:c7:19:5d:ab:1d:b5:c1:c7:57:c7:a2:e1:2b:e3:ea:
02:60:88:8e:96:ef:2d:64:d2:de:2c:16:72:b6
RSS hash function:
    toeplitz: on
    xor: off
    crc32: off

Sample output with json option:
$ethtool --json -x eno2
[ {
    "ifname": "eno2",
    "rss-indirection-table": [ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,
    ...skip similar lines...
    7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7 ],
    "rss-hash-key": [ 190,195,19,166,..]
    "rss-hash-function": {
            "toeplitz": true,
            "xor": false,
            "crc32": false
        }
    } ]

v4: 
-Fixed hash function values in example output of commit message.

v3:
-Made hash key as an array of ints.
-Skip json field when not supported.
-Made hash function values as true/false instead of on/off
-Formatted key strings as per review comments. 

v2:
-Added json support

Move functions that prints rss indirection table and hash key
into common file for use by both netlink and ioctl interface.
Changed function argument to be ring count instead of structure.

Add support for netlink based "ethtool -x <dev>" command using
ETHTOOL_MSG_RSS_GET netlink message. It implements same functionality
provided by traditional ETHTOOL_GRSSH subcommand. This displays RSS
table, hash key and hash function along with JSON support.

Sample output with json option:
$ethtool --json -x eno2
[ {
    "ifname": "eno2",
    "rss-indirection-table": [ 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,
    ...skip similar lines...
    7,7,7,7,7,7,7,7 ],
    "rss-hash-key": [ 190,195,19,166,..]
    "rss-hash-function": {
            "toeplitz": true,
            "xor": false,
            "crc32": false
        }
    } ]

I believe there can only be a single bit set here, so why not print:

	 "rss-hash-function": "toeplitz"

rather than:

	  "rss-hash-function": {
            "toeplitz": true,
            "xor": false,
            "crc32": false
          }

We can make the kernel ensure only one bit is set by checking 
hweight() == 1 on the value returned by the driver.

All elements of tb can be NULL, AFAIU.

Do you only perform this coalescing to reuse the existing print
helpers? With a bit of extra refactoring this seems avoidable...

We need to check that the kernel has filled in the attrs before accessing them, no?

u32, not u8

The correct value is combined + rx, I think I mentioned this before.

> +	return MNL_CB_OK;

I'm also not sure if fetching the channel info shouldn't be done over
the nl2 socket, like the string set. If we are in monitor mode we may
confuse ourselves trying to parse the wrong messages.

Was following similar output format as current one. Changed in next version.

Didn't get this. Do you mean the variables need to be checked 
for NULL here? If yes, am checking before printing later on.

Yes. Was reusing print helpers. Have refactored to avoid need for
coalescing.

Didn't get this one either. similar code isn't doing any checks 
like you suggested.

Fixed.

> The correct value is combined + rx, I think I mentioned this before.

Have changed it to include rx too like below. 
args->num_rings = mnl_attr_get_u32(tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_COMBINED_COUNT]);
args->num_rings += mnl_attr_get_u32(tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_RX_COUNT]);

Slightly unrelated, where can I find the reason behind using combined + rx?
Guess it was discussed in mailing list but not able to find it.

Are you suggesting we need to use ioctl for fetching ring info to avoid
mix-up. Is there alternative way to do it ?

tb[ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HKEY] can be NULL. I just realized now that the kernel
always fills in the attrs:

	if (nla_put_u32(skb, ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HFUNC, data->hfunc) ||
	    nla_put(skb, ETHTOOL_A_RSS_INDIR,
		    sizeof(u32) * data->indir_size, data->indir_table) ||
	    nla_put(skb, ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HKEY, data->hkey_size, data->hkey))
		return -EMSGSIZE;

but that's not a great use of netlink. If there is nothing to report
the attribute should simply be skipped, like this:

	if (nla_put_u32(skb, ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HFUNC, data->hfunc)) ||
	    (data->indir_size && 
	     nla_put(skb, ETHTOOL_A_RSS_INDIR,
		     sizeof(u32) * data->indir_size, data->indir_table)) ||
	    (data->hkey_size &&
	     nla_put(skb, ETHTOOL_A_RSS_HKEY, data->hkey_size, data->hkey)))
		return -EMSGSIZE;

I think we should fix the kernel side.

Same point, really. Even if the kernel always populates the attribute
today, according to netlink rules it's not guaranteed to do so in the
future, so any tb[] access should be NULL-checked.

Related to previous comments - take a look at channels_fill_reply().
tb[ETHTOOL_A_CHANNELS_RX_COUNT] will be NULL for most devices.
mnl_attr_get_u32(NULL) will crash.

> Slightly unrelated, where can I find the reason behind using combined + rx?

Yes, it's been discussed on the list multiple times but man ethtool 
is the only source of documentation I know of.

The reason is that the channels API refers to interrupts more than
queues. So rx means an _irq_ dedicated to Rx processing, not an Rx
queue. Unfortunately the author came up with the term "channel" which
most people take to mean "queue" :(

No no, look how the strings for hfunc names are fetched - they are
fetched over a different socket, right?

global_stringset is using nlctx->ethnl2_socket. Are you suggesting use
of it for fetching channels info too ? 

ret = netlink_init_ethnl2_socket(nlctx);
...
hash_funcs = global_stringset(ETH_SS_RSS_HASH_FUNCS, nlctx->ethnl2_socket);

The purpose of the second socket is to allow sending another request
while we are still processing the data from the main request so that we
cannot reuse the primary socket.

In this case, if we do not support dumps (and do not intend to), we
could technically send both request through the same socket (one after
the other) but I think it would be easier to use ethnl2_socket for the
auxiliary request anyway.
