6Basic information
7=================
8
9Netlink interface for ethtool uses generic netlink family ``ethtool``
10(userspace application should use macros ``ETHTOOL_GENL_NAME`` and
11``ETHTOOL_GENL_VERSION`` defined in ``<linux/ethtool_netlink.h>`` uapi
12header). This family does not use a specific header, all information in
13requests and replies is passed using netlink attributes.
14
15The ethtool netlink interface uses extended ACK for error and warning
16reporting, userspace application developers are encouraged to make these
17messages available to user in a suitable way.
18
19Requests can be divided into three categories: "get" (retrieving information),
20"set" (setting parameters) and "action" (invoking an action).
21
22All "set" and "action" type requests require admin privileges
23(``CAP_NET_ADMIN`` in the namespace). Most "get" type requests are allowed for
24anyone but there are exceptions (where the response contains sensitive
25information). In some cases, the request as such is allowed for anyone but
26unprivileged users have attributes with sensitive information (e.g.
27wake-on-lan password) omitted.
28
29
30Conventions
31===========
32
33Attributes which represent a boolean value usually use NLA_U8 type so that we
34can distinguish three states: "on", "off" and "not present" (meaning the
35information is not available in "get" requests or value is not to be changed
36in "set" requests). For these attributes, the "true" value should be passed as
37number 1 but any non-zero value should be understood as "true" by recipient.
38In the tables below, "bool" denotes NLA_U8 attributes interpreted in this way.
39
40In the message structure descriptions below, if an attribute name is suffixed
41with "+", parent nest can contain multiple attributes of the same type. This
42implements an array of entries.
43
44
45Request header
46==============
47
48Each request or reply message contains a nested attribute with common header.
49Structure of this header is
50
51  ==============================  ======  =============================
52  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_INDEX``  u32     device ifindex
53  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME``   string  device name
54  ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS``      u32     flags common for all requests
55  ==============================  ======  =============================
56
57``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_INDEX`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME`` identify the
58device message relates to. One of them is sufficient in requests, if both are
59used, they must identify the same device. Some requests, e.g. global string
60sets, do not require device identification. Most ``GET`` requests also allow
61dump requests without device identification to query the same information for
62all devices providing it (each device in a separate message).
63
64``ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_FLAGS`` is a bitmap of request flags common for all request
65types. The interpretation of these flags is the same for all request types but
66the flags may not apply to requests. Recognized flags are:
67
68  =================================  ===================================
69  ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS``   use compact format bitsets in reply
70  ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY``        omit optional reply (_SET and _ACT)
71  ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS``             include optional device statistics
72  =================================  ===================================
73
74New request flags should follow the general idea that if the flag is not set,
75the behaviour is backward compatible, i.e. requests from old clients not aware
76of the flag should be interpreted the way the client expects. A client must
77not set flags it does not understand.
78
79
80Bit sets
81========
82
83For short bitmaps of (reasonably) fixed length, standard ``NLA_BITFIELD32``
84type is used. For arbitrary length bitmaps, ethtool netlink uses a nested
85attribute with contents of one of two forms: compact (two binary bitmaps
86representing bit values and mask of affected bits) and bit-by-bit (list of
87bits identified by either index or name).
88
89Verbose (bit-by-bit) bitsets allow sending symbolic names for bits together
90with their values which saves a round trip (when the bitset is passed in a
91request) or at least a second request (when the bitset is in a reply). This is
92useful for one shot applications like traditional ethtool command. On the
93other hand, long running applications like ethtool monitor (displaying
94notifications) or network management daemons may prefer fetching the names
95only once and using compact form to save message size. Notifications from
96ethtool netlink interface always use compact form for bitsets.
97
98A bitset can represent either a value/mask pair (``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``
99not set) or a single bitmap (``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` set). In requests
100modifying a bitmap, the former changes the bit set in mask to values set in
101value and preserves the rest; the latter sets the bits set in the bitmap and
102clears the rest.
103
104Compact form: nested (bitset) atrribute contents:
105
106  ============================  ======  ============================
107  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``   flag    no mask, only a list
108  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE``     u32     number of significant bits
109  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_VALUE``    binary  bitmap of bit values
110  ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK``     binary  bitmap of valid bits
111  ============================  ======  ============================
112
113Value and mask must have length at least ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` bits
114rounded up to a multiple of 32 bits. They consist of 32-bit words in host byte
115order, words ordered from least significant to most significant (i.e. the same
116way as bitmaps are passed with ioctl interface).
117
118For compact form, ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_VALUE`` are
119mandatory. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` attribute is mandatory if
120``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` is not set (bitset represents a value/mask pair);
121if ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` is not set, ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_MASK`` is not
122allowed (bitset represents a single bitmap.
123
124Kernel bit set length may differ from userspace length if older application is
125used on newer kernel or vice versa. If userspace bitmap is longer, an error is
126issued only if the request actually tries to set values of some bits not
127recognized by kernel.
128
129Bit-by-bit form: nested (bitset) attribute contents:
130
131 +------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
132 | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK``        | flag   | no mask, only a list        |
133 +------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
134 | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_SIZE``          | u32    | number of significant bits  |
135 +------------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
136 | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS``          | nested | array of bits               |
137 +-+----------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
138 | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS_BIT+``   | nested | one bit                     |
139 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
140 | | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_INDEX`` | u32    | bit index (0 for LSB)       |
141 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
142 | | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_NAME``  | string | bit name                    |
143 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
144 | | | ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE`` | flag   | present if bit is set       |
145 +-+-+--------------------------------+--------+-----------------------------+
146
147Bit size is optional for bit-by-bit form. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS`` nest can
148only contain ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BITS_BIT`` attributes but there can be an
149arbitrary number of them.  A bit may be identified by its index or by its
150name. When used in requests, listed bits are set to 0 or 1 according to
151``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE``, the rest is preserved. A request fails if
152index exceeds kernel bit length or if name is not recognized.
153
154When ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_NOMASK`` flag is present, bitset is interpreted as
155a simple bitmap. ``ETHTOOL_A_BITSET_BIT_VALUE`` attributes are not used in
156such case. Such bitset represents a bitmap with listed bits set and the rest
157zero.
158
159In requests, application can use either form. Form used by kernel in reply is
160determined by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS`` flag in flags field of request
161header. Semantics of value and mask depends on the attribute.
162
163
164List of message types

246
247``GET`` requests are sent by userspace applications to retrieve device
248information. They usually do not contain any message specific attributes.
249Kernel replies with corresponding "GET_REPLY" message. For most types, ``GET``
250request with ``NLM_F_DUMP`` and no device identification can be used to query
251the information for all devices supporting the request.
252
253If the data can be also modified, corresponding ``SET`` message with the same
254layout as corresponding ``GET_REPLY`` is used to request changes. Only
255attributes where a change is requested are included in such request (also, not
256all attributes may be changed). Replies to most ``SET`` request consist only
257of error code and extack; if kernel provides additional data, it is sent in
258the form of corresponding ``SET_REPLY`` message which can be suppressed by
259setting ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header.
260
261Data modification also triggers sending a ``NTF`` message with a notification.
262These usually bear only a subset of attributes which was affected by the
263change. The same notification is issued if the data is modified using other
264means (mostly ioctl ethtool interface). Unlike notifications from ethtool
265netlink code which are only sent if something actually changed, notifications
266triggered by ioctl interface may be sent even if the request did not actually
267change any data.
268
269``ACT`` messages request kernel (driver) to perform a specific action. If some
270information is reported by kernel (which can be suppressed by setting
271``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request header), the reply takes form of
272an ``ACT_REPLY`` message. Performing an action also triggers a notification
273(``NTF`` message).
274
275Later sections describe the format and semantics of these messages.
276
277
278STRSET_GET
279==========
280
281Requests contents of a string set as provided by ioctl commands
282``ETHTOOL_GSSET_INFO`` and ``ETHTOOL_GSTRINGS.`` String sets are not user
283writeable so that the corresponding ``STRSET_SET`` message is only used in
284kernel replies. There are two types of string sets: global (independent of
285a device, e.g. device feature names) and device specific (e.g. device private
286flags).
287
288Request contents:

323
324Device identification in request header is optional. Depending on its presence
325a and ``NLM_F_DUMP`` flag, there are three type of ``STRSET_GET`` requests:
326
327 - no ``NLM_F_DUMP,`` no device: get "global" stringsets
328 - no ``NLM_F_DUMP``, with device: get string sets related to the device
329 - ``NLM_F_DUMP``, no device: get device related string sets for all devices
330
331If there is no ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_STRINGSETS`` array, all string sets of
332requested type are returned, otherwise only those specified in the request.
333Flag ``ETHTOOL_A_STRSET_COUNTS_ONLY`` tells kernel to only return string
334counts of the sets, not the actual strings.
335
336
337LINKINFO_GET
338============
339
340Requests link settings as provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS`` except for
341link modes and autonegotiation related information. The request does not use
342any attributes.
343

360
361Attributes and their values have the same meaning as matching members of the
362corresponding ioctl structures.
363
364``LINKINFO_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply message for all
365devices supporting the request).
366
367
368LINKINFO_SET
369============
370
371``LINKINFO_SET`` request allows setting some of the attributes reported by
372``LINKINFO_GET``.

380  ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKINFO_TP_MDIX_CTRL``   u8      MDI(-X) control
381  ====================================  ======  ==========================
382
383MDI(-X) status and transceiver cannot be set, request with the corresponding
384attributes is rejected.
385
386
387LINKMODES_GET
388=============
389
390Requests link modes (supported, advertised and peer advertised) and related
391information (autonegotiation status, link speed and duplex) as provided by
392``ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS``. The request does not use any attributes.

436``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` bit set allows setting advertised link modes. If
437autonegotiation is on (either set now or kept from before), advertised modes
438are not changed (no ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_OURS`` attribute) and at least one
439of speed and duplex is specified, kernel adjusts advertised modes to all
440supported modes matching speed, duplex or both (whatever is specified). This
441autoselection is done on ethtool side with ioctl interface, netlink interface
442is supposed to allow requesting changes without knowing what exactly kernel
443supports.

449Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
450``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
451be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
452is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have

617provided by ``ETHTOOL_GMSGLVL`` and set by ``ETHTOOL_SMSGLVL`` in ioctl
618interface. While it is called message level there for historical reasons, most
619drivers and almost all newer drivers use it as a mask of enabled message
620classes (represented by ``NETIF_MSG_*`` constants); therefore netlink
621interface follows its actual use in practice.

708Bitmaps in kernel response have the same meaning as bitmaps used in ioctl
709interference but attribute names are different (they are based on
710corresponding members of struct net_device). Legacy "flags" are not provided,
711if userspace needs them (most likely only ethtool for backward compatibility),
712it can calculate their values from related feature bits itself.
713ETHA_FEATURES_HW uses mask consisting of all features recognized by kernel (to
714provide all names when using verbose bitmap format), the other three use no
715mask (simple bit lists).

736  ====================================  ======  ==========================
737
738Request constains only one bitset which can be either value/mask pair (request
739to change specific feature bits and leave the rest) or only a value (request
740to set all features to specified set).
741
742As request is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks, optional
743kernel reply (can be suppressed by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request
744header) informs client about the actual result. ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED``
745reports the difference between client request and actual result: mask consists
746of bits which differ between requested features and result (dev->features
747after the operation), value consists of values of these bits in the request
748(i.e. negated values from resulting features). ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE``
749reports the difference between old and new dev->features: mask consists of
750bits which have changed, values are their values in new dev->features (after
751the operation).
752
753``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF`` notification is sent not only if device features
754are modified using ``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET`` request or on of ethtool ioctl
755request but also each time features are modified with netdev_update_features()
756or netdev_change_features().

775  ====================================  ======  ==========================
776
777``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` is a bitset with values of device private flags.
778These flags are defined by driver, their number and names (and also meaning)
779are device dependent. For compact bitset format, names can be retrieved as
780``ETH_SS_PRIV_FLAGS`` string set. If verbose bitset format is requested,
781response uses all private flags supported by the device as mask so that client
782gets the full information without having to fetch the string set with names.

1113An Ethernet cable typically contains 1, 2 or 4 pairs. The length of
1114the pair can only be measured when there is a fault in the pair and
1115hence a reflection. Information about the fault may not be available,
1116depending on the specific hardware. Hence the contents of the notify
1117message are mostly optional. The attributes can be repeated an
1118arbitrary number of times, in an arbitrary order, for an arbitrary
1119number of pairs.
1120
1121The example shows the notification sent when the test is completed for
1122a T2 cable, i.e. two pairs. One pair is OK and hence has no length
1123information. The second pair has a fault and does have length
1124information.

1172
1173The ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_CFG is optional, as well as all members
1174of the nest. All distances are expressed in centimeters. The PHY takes
1175the distances as a guide, and rounds to the nearest distance it
1176actually supports. If a pair is passed, only that one pair will be
1177tested. Otherwise all pairs are tested.
1178
1179Notification contents:
1180
1181Raw TDR data is gathered by sending a pulse down the cable and
1182recording the amplitude of the reflected pulse for a given distance.
1183
1184It can take a number of seconds to collect TDR data, especial if the
1185full 100 meters is probed at 1 meter intervals. When the test is
1186started a notification will be sent containing just
1187ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
1188ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_STARTED.
1189
1190When the test has completed a second notification will be sent
1191containing ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_TDR_STATUS with the value
1192ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TEST_NTF_STATUS_COMPLETED and the TDR data.
1193
1194The message may optionally contain the amplitude of the pulse send
1195down the cable. This is measured in mV. A reflection should not be
1196bigger than transmitted pulse.
1197
1198Before the raw TDR data should be an ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_STEP
1199nest containing information about the distance along the cable for the
1200first reading, the last reading, and the step between each
1201reading. Distances are measured in centimeters. These should be the
1202exact values the PHY used. These may be different to what the user
1203requested, if the native measurement resolution is greater than 1 cm.
1204
1205For each step along the cable, a ETHTOOL_A_CABLE_TDR_NEST_AMPLITUDE is
1206used to report the amplitude of the reflection for a given pair.
