ethtool: provide link state with LINKSTATE_GET request

mkubecek · davem330 · commit 3d2b847fb99c · 2019-12-27T16:40:02.000-08:00
Implement LINKSTATE_GET netlink request to get link state information.

At the moment, only link up flag as provided by ETHTOOL_GLINK ioctl command
is returned.

LINKSTATE_GET request can be used with NLM_F_DUMP (without device
identification) to request the information for all devices in current
network namespace providing the data.

+LINKSTATE_GET
+=============
+
+Requests link state information. At the moment, only link up/down flag (as
+provided by ``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided but some future
+extensions are planned (e.g. link down reason). This request does not have any
+attributes.

+  ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK``          bool    link state (up/down)
+  ====================================  ======  ==========================
+
+For most NIC drivers, the value of ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` returns
+carrier flag provided by ``netif_carrier_ok()`` but there are drivers which
+define their own handler.
+
+``LINKSTATE_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
+devices supporting the request).
