Commit Message

Aurelien Aptel Jan. 17, 2023, 3:35 p.m. UTC
Add detailed documentation about:
- ETHTOOL_MSG_ULP_DDP_GET and ETHTOOL_MSG_ULP_DDP_SET netlink messages
- ETH_SS_ULP_DDP_CAPS and ETH_SS_ULP_DDP_STATS stringsets

ETHTOOL_MSG_ULP_DDP_GET/SET messages are used to configure ULP DDP
capabilities and retrieve ULP DDP statistics.

Both statistics and capabilities names can be retrieved dynamically
from the kernel via string sets (no need to hardcode them and keep
them in sync in ethtool).

+ULP_DDP_GET
+===========
+
+Get ULP DDP capabilities for the interface and optional driver-defined stats.
+
+Request contents:
+
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_HEADER``          nested  request header
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+
+Kernel response contents:
+
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================

+
+
+* If ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS`` was set in
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAG``, the bitsets of the reply are in compact
+  form. In that form, the names for the individual bits can be retried
+  via the ``ETH_SS_ULP_DDP_CAPS`` string set.
+* ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_STATS`` contains statistics which
+  are only reported if ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS`` was set in
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``.
+
+Similar to the bitsets, statistics can be reported in a verbose or
+compact form. This is controlled by the same header flag
+``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS``).
+
+Verbose statistics contents:
+
+ +-----------------------------------------------+--------+---------------------------------+
+ | ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_STATS_COUNT``             | u32    | number of statistics            |

+ +-----------------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------+
+
+In compact form, ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_STATS_COMPACT_VALUES`` contains
+an array of unsigned 64 bits integer of *count* elements, as a binary
+blob.
+
+The names of each statistics are global. They can be retried via the
+``ETH_SS_ULP_DDP_STATS`` string set.
+
+ULP_DDP_SET
+===========
+
+Request to set ULP DDP capabilities for the interface.
+
+Request contents:
+
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_HEADER``          nested  request header
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_WANTED``          bitset  requested capabilities
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+
+Kernel response contents:
+
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_HEADER``          nested  reply header
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_WANTED``          bitset  diff wanted vs. results
+  ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_ACTIVE``          bitset  diff old vs. new active
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+
+Request contains only one bitset which can be either value/mask pair
+(request to change specific capabilities and leave the rest) or only a
+value (request to set the complete capabilities provided literally).
+
+Requests are subject to sanity checks by drivers so an optional kernel
+reply (can be suppressed by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in
+request header) informs client about the actual
+results.
+
+* ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_WANTED`` reports the difference between client
+  request and actual result: mask consists of bits which differ between
+  requested capability and result (dev->ulp_ddp_caps.active after the
+  operation), value consists of values of these bits in the request
+  (i.e. negated values from resulting capabilities).
+* ``ETHTOOL_A_ULP_DDP_ACTIVE`` reports the difference between old and
+  new dev->ulp_ddp_caps.active: mask consists of bits which have
+  changed, values are their values in new dev->ulp_ddp_caps.active
+  (after the operation).
