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.
Requests link state information. Link up/down flag (as provided by
``ETHTOOL_GLINK`` ioctl command) is provided. Optionally, extended state might
be provided as well. In general, extended state describes reasons for why a port
is down, or why it operates in some non-obvious mode. This request does not have
any attributes.
Request contents:
......@@ -461,16 +462,135 @@ Kernel response contents:
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_LINK`` bool link state (up/down)
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_SQI`` u32 Current Signal Quality Index
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_SQI_MAX`` u32 Max support SQI value
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` u8 link extended state
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` u8 link extended substate
==================================== ====== ============================
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.
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE`` are
optional values. ethtool core can provide either both
``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE`` and ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_SUBSTATE``,
or only ``ETHTOOL_A_LINKSTATE_EXT_STATE``, or none of them.
``LINKSTATE_GET`` allows dump requests (kernel returns reply messages for all
devices supporting the request).
Link extended states:
================================================ ============================================
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_AUTONEG`` States relating to the autonegotiation or
issues therein
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_LINK_TRAINING_FAILURE`` Failure during link training
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_LINK_LOGICAL_MISMATCH`` Logical mismatch in physical coding sublayer
or forward error correction sublayer
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_BAD_SIGNAL_INTEGRITY`` Signal integrity issues
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_NO_CABLE`` No cable connected
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_CABLE_ISSUE`` Failure is related to cable,
e.g., unsupported cable
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_EEPROM_ISSUE`` Failure is related to EEPROM, e.g., failure
during reading or parsing the data
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_CALIBRATION_FAILURE`` Failure during calibration algorithm
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_POWER_BUDGET_EXCEEDED`` The hardware is not able to provide the
power required from cable or module
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_OVERHEAT`` The module is overheated
================================================= ============================================
Link extended substates:
Autoneg substates:
============================================================== ================================
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_AN_NO_PARTNER_DETECTED`` Peer side is down

``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_AN_NEXT_PAGE_EXCHANGE_FAILED`` Next page exchange failed
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_AN_NO_PARTNER_DETECTED_FORCE_MODE`` Peer side is down during force
mode or there is no agreement of
speed
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_AN_FEC_MISMATCH_DURING_OVERRIDE`` Forward error correction modes
in both sides are mismatched
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_AN_NO_HCD`` No Highest Common Denominator
============================================================== ================================
Link training substates:
========================================================================== ====================

recognized, the
lock failed
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_LT_KR_LINK_INHIBIT_TIMEOUT`` The lock did not
occur before
timeout
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_LT_KR_LINK_PARTNER_DID_NOT_SET_RECEIVER_READY`` Peer side did not
send ready signal
after training
process
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_LT_REMOTE_FAULT`` Remote side is not
ready yet
========================================================================== ====================
Link logical mismatch substates:
=============================================================== ===============================
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_LLM_PCS_DID_NOT_ACQUIRE_BLOCK_LOCK`` Physical coding sublayer was
not locked in first phase -
block lock

not locked in second phase -
alignment markers lock
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_LLM_PCS_DID_NOT_GET_ALIGN_STATUS`` Physical coding sublayer did
not get align status
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_LLM_FC_FEC_IS_NOT_LOCKED`` FC forward error correction is
not locked

Bad signal integrity substates:
================================================================= =============================
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_BSI_LARGE_NUMBER_OF_PHYSICAL_ERRORS`` Large number of physical
errors
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_BSI_UNSUPPORTED_RATE`` The system attempted to
operate the cable at a rate
that is not formally
supported, which led to
signal integrity issues
================================================================= =============================
Cable issue substates:
================================================== ============================================
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_CI_UNSUPPORTED_CABLE`` Unsupported cable
``ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_CI_CABLE_TEST_FAILURE`` Cable test failure
