[PATCH net-next v12 00/13] Introduce PHY listing and link_topology tracking

From: Maxime Chevallier
Date: Wed Jun 05 2024 - 09:28:33 EST


Hello everyone,

This is V12 for the link topology addition, allowing to track all PHYs
that are linked to netdevices.

This version is based on the V11 that was partially applied during last
cycle, then reverted as some issues were found by Nathan and Heiner, which lead
som some discussions to address them. Therefore, all issues that were reported
and the proposed fixes (thanks Heiner !) are taken into account, all of which
ended-up in patch 01/13.

The rest of the series is mostly untouched, the main points being an
update of the PSE-PD part following the PoE support added by Köry and
some fixes regarding the documentation (a broken ref found by Jakub).

I've gathered all of Andrew's reviews on V11, however as I had to rework
the pse-pd part a bit, I haven't added the tag on this patch (patch
10/13).

Discussions on the patch 01/13 updates can be found here :

As a remainder, here's what the PHY listings would look like :
- eth0 has a 88x3310 acting as media converter, and an SFP module with
an embedded 88e1111 PHY
- eth2 has a 88e1510 PHY

# ethtool --show-phys *

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: mv88x3310
PHY device name: f212a600.mdio-mii:00
Downstream SFP bus name: sfp-eth0
PHY id: 0
Upstream type: MAC

PHY for eth0:
PHY index: 2
Driver name: Marvell 88E1111
PHY device name: i2c:sfp-eth0:16
PHY id: 21040322
Upstream type: PHY
Upstream PHY index: 1
Upstream SFP name: sfp-eth0

PHY for eth2:
PHY index: 1
Driver name: Marvell 88E1510
PHY device name: f212a200.mdio-mii:00
PHY id: 21040593
Upstream type: MAC
