From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com>

Add a pair of new ethtool messages, 'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_SET' and
'ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_GET', that can be used to control transceiver
modules parameters and retrieve their status.

The first parameter to control is the power mode of the module. It is
only relevant for paged memory modules, as flat memory modules always
operate in low power mode.

When a paged memory module is in low power mode, its power consumption
is reduced to the minimum, the management interface towards the host is
available and the data path is deactivated.

User space can choose to put modules that are not currently in use in
low power mode and transition them to high power mode before putting the
associated ports administratively up. This is useful for user space that
favors reduced power consumption and lower temperatures over reduced
link up times. In QSFP-DD modules the transition from low power mode to
high power mode can take a few seconds and this transition is only
expected to get longer with future / more complex modules.

User space can control the power mode of the module via the power mode
policy attribute ('ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY'). Possible
values:

* low: Module is always in low power mode.

* high: Module is always in high power mode.

* high-on-up: Module is transitioned by the host to high power mode when
  the first port using it is put administratively up and to low power
  mode when the last port using it is put administratively down.

The operational power mode of the module is available to user space via
the 'ETHTOOL_A_MODULE_POWER_MODE' attribute. The attribute is not
reported to user space when a module is not plugged-in.

Transitioning into low power mode means loss of carrier, so an error is
returned when the port is administratively up.

The user API is designed to be generic enough so that it could be used
for modules with different memory maps (e.g., SFF-8636, CMIS).

The only implementation of the device driver API in this series is for a
MAC driver (mlxsw) where the module is controlled by the device's
firmware, but it is designed to be generic enough so that it could also
be used by implementations where the module is controlled by the CPU.

CMIS testing
============

 # ethtool -m swp11
 Identifier                                : 0x18 (QSFP-DD Double Density 8X Pluggable Transceiver (INF-8628))

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : Off

The module is not in low power mode, as it is not forced by hardware
(LowPwrAllowRequestHW is off) or by software (LowPwrRequestSW is off).

The power mode can be queried from the kernel. In case
LowPwrAllowRequestHW was on, the kernel would need to take into account
the state of the LowPwrRequestHW signal, which is not visible to user
space.

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy high
 power-mode high

Change the power mode policy to 'high-on-up':

 # ethtool --set-module swp11 power-mode-policy high-on-up

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:

Verify with the data read from the EEPROM:

 # ethtool -m swp11

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : On

Put the associated port administratively up which will instruct the host
to transition the module to high power mode:

 # ip link set dev swp11 up

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy high-on-up
 power-mode high

 LowPwrRequestSW                           : Off

Put the associated port administratively down which will instruct the
host to transition the module to low power mode:

 # ip link set dev swp11 down

Query the power mode again:

 $ ethtool --show-module swp11
 Module parameters for swp11:
 power-mode-policy high-on-up

The module is not in low power mode, as it is not forced by hardware
(Power override is on) or by software (Power set is off).

The power mode can be queried from the kernel. In case Power override
was off, the kernel would need to take into account the state of the
LPMode signal, which is not visible to user space.

Would you mind explaining why?

Did you have a use case for this one or is it for completeness? Seems
like user can just bring the port down if they want no carrier? My
understanding was you primarily wanted the latter two, and those can
be freely changed when netdev is running, right?

s/HIGH_ON_UP/AUTO/ ?
high on up == low on down, right, seems arbitrary to pick one over the
other

Part of the issue is we have two different sorts of policy mixed
together.

ETHTOOL_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY_LOW and
ETHTOOL_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY_HIGH change the state now. This could
be a surprise to a user when there link disappears for the
ETHTOOL_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY_LOW case, when the interface is admin up.

ETHTOOL_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY_HIGH_ON_UP however follows the state
of the interface. So there should not be any surprises.

I actually think ETHTOOL_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY_HIGH_ON_UP should be
allowed at any time, just to make it easier to use.

Should we also document what the default is? Seems like
ETHTOOL_MODULE_POWER_MODE_POLICY_HIGH_ON_UP is the generic network
interface default, so maybe it should also be the default for SFPs?

Yes, it is more restrictive than it should be. The check can be relaxed
to only disallow transition to low power mode when the device is
administratively up.

In all the implementations I could find (3), the user interface is
high/low (on/off). The proposed interface is more flexible as it
contains both the 'high' / 'low' policies in addition to the more user
friendly 'high-on-up' ('auto') policy.

Given that keeping the 'low' policy does not complicate the
implementation / maintenance and that it provides users with a similar
interface to what they are used to from other implementations, I would
like to keep it in addition to the other two policies.

I will add a note in Documentation/networking/ethtool-netlink.rst that
the default power mode policy is driver-dependent (can be queried) and
that it can either be 'high' or 'auto'.

Hi Ido

That is kind of my question. Do you want the default driver defined,
and varying between implementations, or do we want a clearly defined
default?

The stack has a mixture of both. An interface is admin down by
default, but it is anybody guess how pause will be configured?

By making it driver undefined, you cannot assume anything, and you
require user space to always configure it.

I don't have too strong an opinion, i'm more interested in what others
say, those who have to live with this.

I evaluated the link up times using a QSFP module [1] connected to my
system. There is a 36% increase in link up times when using the 'auto'
policy compared to the 'high' policy (default on all Mellanox systems).
Very noticeable and very measurable.

Couple the above with the fact that despite shipping millions of ports
over the years, we are only now getting requests to control the power
mode of transceivers and from a small number of users.

In addition, any user space that is interested in changing the behavior,
has the ability to query the default policy and override it in a
vendor-agnostic way.

Therefore, I'm strictly against changing the existing behavior.

on/off is probably due to blindly setting the SFP bit. Our intention
here is to set a policy with respect to the netdev state (or integrate
the setting with the rest of the stack, if you will) not just control 
the bit.

IMO we should leave the value out of the enum until the use case for 
it becomes clear. Adding it later is simple enough.

I'd argue it does. The netif_running() check is exactly to prevent
carrier from going away, so it only makes sense if the low setting 
exists. We can switch between 'auto' and 'high' any time.

IIUC the existing interfaces are build around the architecture where
driver/fw do not control the SFP automatically IOW 'auto' does not
exist. 'low' is there for disabling the SFP when interface is down.

The interface where 'low' can't be set while the netdev is up is
*already* not 1:1 with the out of tree APIs, right?

I'd bet that if you convert users of existing APIs to map 'on' to
(always-)high and 'off' to auto everyone will be happy.

Fine by me FWIW. Obviously in an ideal world we'd have uniform presets
as part of 'what it means to be upstream Linux' but from practical
standpoint where most features start out of tree having the requirement
of uniformity will be an impediment preventing vendors from switching to
upstream APIs. That's my personal opinion or should I say 'gut feeling',
I could well be wrong.

I think it makes sense to push for uniform presets where we can. But in some cases where we already have a variety of differing behaviors this becomes difficult.

I would agree in pushing for uniform defaults in cases where we're clearly adding new functionality. However in cases like this where there exists a wide spectrum of behaviors, it makes more sense to allow individual drivers to maintain the same behavior while reporting that up with the option to configure or change it. It's not ideal if we did everything from scratch, but it's the current reality.

Thanks,
Jake
