[PATCH iproute2-next v4] iplink_can: add ctrlmode_{supported,_static} to the "--details --json" output

From: Vincent Mailhol
Date: Sun Jan 09 2022 - 10:31:09 EST


This patch is the userland counterpart of [1]. Indeed, [1] enables the
can netlink interface to report the CAN controller capabilities.

Previously, only the options which were switched on were reported
(i.e. can_priv::ctrlmode). Here, we add two additional pieces of
information to the json report:

- ctrlmode_supported: the options that can be modified by netlink

- ctrlmode_static: option which are statically enabled by the driver
(i.e. can not be turned off)

For your information, we borrowed the naming convention from struct
can_priv [2].

Contrary to the ctrlmode, the ctrlmode_{supported,_static} are only
reported in the json context. The reason is that this newly added
information can quickly become very verbose and we do not want to
overload the default output. You can think of the "ip --details link
show canX" output as the verbose mode and the "ip --details --json
link show canX" output as the *very* verbose mode.


*Example:*

This is how the output would look like for a dummy driver which would
have:

- CAN_CTRLMODE_LOOPBACK, CAN_CTRLMODE_LISTENONLY,
CAN_CTRLMODE_3_SAMPLES, CAN_CTRLMODE_FD, CAN_CTRLMODE_CC_LEN8_DLC
and TDC-AUTO supported by the driver

- CAN_CTRLMODE_CC_LEN8_DLC turned on by the user

- CAN_CTRLMODE_FD_NON_ISO statically enabled by the driver

* Changelog *

v3 -> v4

- Drop the RFC tag after receiving no comments on v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-can/CAMZ6Rq+hrAu=mDPHw1yXhw9UKhQiSe3E9p6agudOzqbgo9sDtA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#t

v2 -> v3

- Rebased on the latest version of iproute2-next.
- Minor changes in the commit description.

v1 -> v2

- The kernel uapi was modified to use a new NLA_NESTED entry instead
of reusing struct can_ctrlmode. The second and third patch of the
series were updated accordingly.
