+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.
+
+
+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)
+ ================================= ===================================
+
+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) atrribute 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.
+
+
+List of message types
+=====================
+
+All constants identifying message types use ``ETHTOOL_CMD_`` prefix and suffix
+according to message purpose:
+
+ ============== ======================================
+ ``_GET`` userspace request to retrieve data
+ ``_SET`` userspace request to set data
+ ``_ACT`` userspace request to perform an action
+ ``_GET_REPLY`` kernel reply to a ``GET`` request
+ ``_SET_REPLY`` kernel reply to a ``SET`` request
+ ``_ACT_REPLY`` kernel reply to an ``ACT`` request
+ ``_NTF`` kernel notification
+ ============== ======================================
+
+Userspace to kernel:
+
+ ===================================== ================================
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_STRSET_GET`` get string set
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_GET`` get link settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_SET`` set link settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_GET`` get link modes info
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_SET`` set link modes info
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKSTATE_GET`` get link state
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_GET`` get debugging settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_SET`` set debugging settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_GET`` get wake-on-lan settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_SET`` set wake-on-lan settings
+ ===================================== ================================
+
+Kernel to userspace:
+
+ ===================================== =================================
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_STRSET_GET_REPLY`` string set contents
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_GET_REPLY`` link settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_NTF`` link settings notification
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_GET_REPLY`` link modes info
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKMODES_NTF`` link modes notification
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKSTATE_GET_REPLY`` link state info
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_GET_REPLY`` debugging settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_DEBUG_NTF`` debugging settings notification
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_GET_REPLY`` wake-on-lan settings
+ ``ETHTOOL_MSG_WOL_NTF`` wake-on-lan settings notification
+ ===================================== =================================
+
+``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_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
+``LINKINFO_GET``.
+
+Request contents:
+
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_HEADER`` nested request header
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_PORT`` u8 physical port
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_PHYADDR`` u8 phy MDIO address
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_TP_MDIX_CTRL`` u8 MDI(-X) control
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+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
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+Kernel response contents:
+
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_HEADER`` nested reply header
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_AUTONEG`` u8 autonegotiation status
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` bitset advertised link modes
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_PEER`` bitset partner link modes
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_SPEED`` u32 link speed (Mb/s)
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_DUPLEX`` u8 duplex mode
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+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_OURS`` bitset advertised link modes
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_PEER`` bitset partner link modes
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_SPEED`` u32 link speed (Mb/s)
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_DUPLEX`` u8 duplex mode
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+``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 and duplex is specified, kernel adjusts advertised modes to all
+supported modes matching speed, duplex or both (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. At the moment, only link up/down flag (as
+provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided but some future
+extensions are planned (e.g. link down reason). This request does not have any
+attributes.
+
+Request contents:
+
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_HEADER`` nested request header
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+Kernel response contents:
+
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_HEADER`` nested reply header
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` bool link state (up/down)
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+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.
+
+``LINKSTATE_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
+devices supporting the request).
+
+
+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
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+Kernel response contents:
+
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_HEADER`` nested reply header
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_MODES`` bitset mask of enabled WoL modes
+ ``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
+=======
+
+Set or update wake-on-lan settings.
+
+Request contents:
+
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_HEADER`` nested request header
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_MODES`` bitset enabled WoL modes
+ ``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_SOPASS`` binary SecureOn(tm) password
+ ==================================== ====== ==========================
+
+``ETHTOOL_A_WOL_SOPASS`` is only allowed for devices supporting
+``WAKE_MAGICSECURE`` mode.
+
+
+Request translation

+
+The following table maps ioctl commands to netlink commands providing their
+functionality. Entries with "n/a" in right column are commands which do not
+have their netlink replacement yet.
