6e201c857b ethtool: Document the general convention for VLAs in kernel space
Various ethtool command structures are declared with zero-length array
at the end which are intended to be variable-length in userland
(relying on lack of compiler bounds checking).  However, in the kernel
the structure and array are always allocated and passed to driver
operations separately.  Make that explicit.

6f6bbc186d ethtool.h: MDI setting support
This change modifies the core ethtool struct to allow a driver to
support setting of MDI/MDI-X state for twisted pair wiring.  This
change uses a previously reserved u8 and should not change any
binary compatibility of ethtool.

Also as per Ben Hutchings' suggestion, the capabilities are
stored in a separate byte so the driver can report if it supports
changing settings.

c8f3a8c310 ethtool: Introduce a method for getting time stamping capabilities.
This commit adds a new ethtool ioctl that exposes the SO_TIMESTAMPING
capabilities of a network interface. In addition, user space programs
can use this ioctl to discover the PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) device
associated with the interface.

Since software receive time stamps are handled by the stack, the generic
ethtool code can answer the query correctly in case the MAC or PHY
drivers lack special time stamping features.

55664f324c ethtool: Allow drivers to select RX NFC rule locations
Define special location values for RX NFC that request the driver to
select the actual rule location.  This allows for implementation on
devices that use hash-based filter lookup, whereas currently the API is
more suited to devices with TCAM lookup or linear search.

In ethtool_set_rxnfc() and the compat wrapper ethtool_ioctl(), copy
the structure back to user-space after insertion so that the actual
location is returned.

278bc4296b ethtool: Define and apply a default policy for RX flow hash indirection
All drivers that support modification of the RX flow hash indirection
table initialise it in the same way: RX rings are assigned to table
entries in rotation.  Make that default policy explicit by having them
call a ethtool_rxfh_indir_default() function.

In the ethtool core, add support for a zero size value for
ETHTOOL_SRXFHINDIR, which resets the table to this default.

473e64ee46 ethtool: Update ethtool_rxnfc::rule_cnt on return from ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL
A user-space process must use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLCNT to find the number
of classification rules, then allocate a buffer of the right size,
then use ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL to fill the buffer.  If some other
process inserts or deletes a rule between those two operations,
the user buffer might turn out to be the wrong size.

If it's too small, the return value will be -EMSGSIZE.  But if it's
too large, there is no indication of this.  Fix this by updating
the rule_cnt field on return.

815c7db5c8 ethtool: Clean up definitions of rule location arrays in RX NFC
Correct the description of ethtool_rxnfc::rule_locs; it is an array
of currently used locations, not all possible valid locations.

Add note that drivers must not use ethtool_rxnfc::rule_locs.

The rule_locs argument to ethtool_ops::get_rxnfc is either NULL or a
pointer to an array of u32, so change the parameter type accordingly.

434495c50e ethtool: Explicitly state that RX NFC rule locations are priorities
The location of an RX flow classification rule is needed to identify
it for retrieval, replacement or deletion.  However it also defines
the priority of the rule in the case that a flow is matched by
multiple rules.  This is what I intended to imply by referring to the
use of a TCAM, commonly used to implement that behaviour.

However there are other ways this can be done, and it is better to
specify this explicitly.  Further, I want to add the option for
automatic selection of rule locations.

4bc71cb983 net: consolidate and fix ethtool_ops->get_settings calling
This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
  from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
  iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
  fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
  problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
  dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
  so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
  are from other places.
- use __ethtool_get_settings() in bonding code
