Implement removing additional RSS contexts via Netlink.
Technically it'd be possible to shoehorn the delete operation
into ethnl_request_ops-compatible handler. The code ends
up longer than open coded version, and I think we'll need
a custom way of sending notifications at some stage (if we
allow tying the context lifetime to the netlink socket, in
the future).

Support creating contexts via Netlink. Setting flow hashing
fields on the new context is not supported at this stage,
it can be added later.
An empty indirection table is not supported. This is a carry
over from the IOCTL interface where empty indirection table
meant delete. We can repurpose empty indirection table in
Netlink but for now to avoid confusion reject it using the
policy.
Support letting user choose the ID for the new context. This was
not possible in IOCTL since the context ID field for the create
action had to be set to the ETH_RXFH_CONTEXT_ALLOC magic value.

Add support for ETHTOOL_SRXFH (setting hashing fields) in RSS_SET.
The tricky part is dealing with symmetric hashing. In netlink user
can change the hashing fields and symmetric hash in one request,
in IOCTL the two used to be set via different uAPI requests.
Since fields and hash function config are still separate driver
callbacks - changes to the two are not atomic. Keep things simple
and validate the settings against both pre- and post- change ones.
Meaning that we will reject the config request if user tries
to correct the flow fields and set input_xfrm in one request,
or disables input_xfrm and makes flow fields non-symmetric.
We can adjust it later if there's a real need. Starting simple feels
right, and potentially partially applying the settings isn't nice,
either.

Support setting RSS hash function / algo via ethtool Netlink.
Like IOCTL we don't validate that the function is within the
range known to the kernel. The drivers do a pretty good job
validating the inputs, and the IDs are technically "dynamically
queried" rather than part of uAPI.
Only change should be that in Netlink we don't support user
explicitly passing ETH_RSS_HASH_NO_CHANGE (0), if no change
is requested the attribute should be absent.
The ETH_RSS_HASH_NO_CHANGE is retained in driver-facing
API for consistency (not that I see a strong reason for it).

Add initial support for RSS_SET, for now only operations on
the indirection table are supported.
Unlike the ioctl don't check if at least one parameter is
being changed. This is how other ethtool-nl ops behave,
so pick the ethtool-nl consistency vs copying ioctl behavior.
There are two special cases here:
1) resetting the table to defaults;
2) support for tables of different size.
For (1) I use an empty Netlink attribute (array of size 0).
(2) may require some background. AFAICT a lot of modern devices
allow allocating RSS tables of different sizes. mlx5 can upsize
its tables, bnxt has some "table size calculation", and Intel
folks asked about RSS table sizing in context of resource allocation
in the past. The ethtool IOCTL API has a concept of table size,
but right now the user is expected to provide a table exactly
the size the device requests. Some drivers may change the table
size at runtime (in response to queue count changes) but the
user is not in control of this. What's not great is that all
RSS contexts share the same table size. For example a device
with 128 queues enabled, 16 RSS contexts 8 queues in each will
likely have 256 entry tables for each of the 16 contexts,
while 32 would be more than enough given each context only has
8 queues. To address this the Netlink API should avoid enforcing
table size at the uAPI level, and should allow the user to express
the min table size they expect.
To fully solve (2) we will need more driver plumbing but
at the uAPI level this patch allows the user to specify
a table size smaller than what the device advertises. The device
table size must be a multiple of the user requested table size.
We then replicate the user-provided table to fill the full device
size table. This addresses the "allow the user to express the min
table size" objective, while not enforcing any fixed size.
From Netlink perspective .get_rxfh_indir_size() is now de facto
the "max" table size supported by the device.
We may choose to support table replication in ethtool, too,
when we actually plumb this thru the device APIs.
Initially I was considering moving full pattern generation
to the kernel (which queues to use, at which frequency and
what min sequence length). I don't think this complexity
would buy us much and most if not all devices have pow-2
table sizes, which simplifies the replication a lot.

This gives us a chance to clean up the confusion that come from

stood the test of time just fine. One annoyance is that we still

For packets with two-step timestamp requests, the hardware timestamp
comes back to the driver through a confirmation mechanism of sorts,
which allows the driver to confidently bump the successful "pkts"
counter.
For one-step PTP, the NIC is supposed to autonomously insert its
hardware TX timestamp in the packet headers while simultaneously
transmitting it. There may be a confirmation that this was done
successfully, or there may not.
None of the current drivers which implement ethtool_ops :: get_ts_stats()
also support HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC or HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC, so it
is a bit unclear which model to follow. But there are NICs, such as DSA,
where there is no transmit confirmation at all. Here, it would be wrong /
misleading to increment the successful "pkts" counter, because one-step
PTP packets can be dropped on TX just like any other packets.
So introduce a special counter which signifies "yes, an attempt was made,
but we don't know whether it also exited the port or not". I expect that
for one-step PTP packets where a confirmation is available, the "pkts"
counter would be bumped.

The hds-thresh option configures the threshold value of
the header-data-split.
If a received packet size is larger than this threshold value, a packet
will be split into header and payload.
The header indicates TCP and UDP header, but it depends on driver spec.
The bnxt_en driver supports HDS(Header-Data-Split) configuration at
FW level, affecting TCP and UDP too.
So, If hds-thresh is set, it affects UDP and TCP packets.
Example:
# ethtool -G <interface name> hds-thresh <value>
# ethtool -G enp14s0f0np0 tcp-data-split on hds-thresh 256
# ethtool -g enp14s0f0np0
Ring parameters for enp14s0f0np0:
Pre-set maximums:
...
HDS thresh: 1023
Current hardware settings:
...
TCP data split: on
HDS thresh: 256
The default/min/max values are not defined in the ethtool so the drivers
should define themself.
The 0 value means that all TCP/UDP packets' header and payload
will be split.

The NetDIM library, currently leveraged by an array of NICs, delivers
excellent acceleration benefits. Nevertheless, NICs vary significantly
in their dim profile list prerequisites.
Specifically, virtio-net backends may present diverse sw or hw device
implementation, making a one-size-fits-all parameter list impractical.
On Alibaba Cloud, the virtio DPU's performance under the default DIM
profile falls short of expectations, partly due to a mismatch in
parameter configuration.
I also noticed that ice/idpf/ena and other NICs have customized
profilelist or placed some restrictions on dim capabilities.
Motivated by this, I tried adding new params for "ethtool -C" that provides
a per-device control to modify and access a device's interrupt parameters.
Usage
========
The target NIC is named ethx.
Assume that ethx only declares support for rx profile setting
(with DIM_PROFILE_RX flag set in profile_flags) and supports modification
of usec and pkt fields.
1. Query the currently customized list of the device
$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec = 1, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 8, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 64, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 128, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile: n/a
2. Tune
$ ethtool -C ethx rx-profile 1,1,n_2,n,n_3,3,n_4,4,n_n,5,n
"n" means do not modify this field.
$ ethtool -c ethx
...
rx-profile:
{.usec = 1, .pkts = 1, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 2, .pkts = 256, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 3, .pkts = 3, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 4, .pkts = 4, .comps = n/a,},
{.usec = 256, .pkts = 5, .comps = n/a,}
tx-profile: n/a
3. Hint
If the device does not support some type of customized dim profiles,
the corresponding "n/a" will display.
If the "n/a" field is being modified, -EOPNOTSUPP will be reported.

A NIC that supports "symmetric-xor" can achieve this RSS hash symmetry
by XORing the source and destination fields and pass the values to the
RSS hash algorithm.
The user may request RSS hash symmetry for a specific algorithm, via:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg> symmetric-xor
or turn symmetry off (asymmetric) by:
# ethtool -X eth0 hfunc <hash_alg>
The specific fields for each flow type should then be specified as usual
via:
# ethtool -N|-U eth0 rx-flow-hash <flow_type> s|d|f|n

Time stamping on network packets may happen either in the MAC or in
the PHY, but not both. In preparation for making the choice
selectable, expose both the current layers via ethtool.
In accordance with the kernel implementation as it stands, the current
layer will always read as "phy" when a PHY time stamping device is
present. Future patches will allow changing the current layer
administratively.

SET_COALESCE may change operation mode and parameters in one call.
Changing operation mode may cause the driver to reset the parameter
values to what is a reasonable default for new operation mode.
Since driver does not know which parameters come from user and which
are echoed back from ->get, driver may ignore the parameters when
switching operation modes.
This used to be inevitable for ioctl() but in netlink we know which
parameters are actually specified by the user.
We could inform which parameters were set by the user but this would
lead to a lot of code duplication in the drivers. Instead try to call
the drivers twice if both mode and params are changed. The set method
already checks if any params need updating so in case the driver did
the right thing the first time around - there will be no second call
to it's ->set method (only an extra call to ->get()).
For mlx5 for example before this patch we'd see:
# ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on
# ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \
tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123
Adaptive RX: off TX: off
rx-usecs: 3
rx-frames: 32
tx-usecs: 16
tx-frames: 32
[...]
After the change:
# ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx on adaptive-tx on
# ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off adaptive-tx off \
tx-usecs 123 rx-usecs 123
Adaptive RX: off TX: off
rx-usecs: 123
rx-frames: 32
tx-usecs: 123
tx-frames: 32
[...]
This only works for netlink, so it's a small discrepancy between
netlink and ioctl(). Since we anticipate most users to move to
netlink I believe it's worth making their lives easier.

This attribute, which is part of ethtool's ring param configuration
allows the user to specify the maximum number of the packet's payload
that can be written directly to the device.
Example usage:
# ethtool -G [interface] tx-push-buf-len [number of bytes]
