[PATCH net-next v8 5/9] ethtool: Veto some operations during firmware flashing process

From: Danielle Ratson
Date: Thu Jun 27 2024 - 10:11:52 EST


Some operations cannot be performed during the firmware flashing
process.

For example:

- Port must be down during the whole flashing process to avoid packet loss
while committing reset for example.

- Writing to EEPROM interrupts the flashing process, so operations like
ethtool dump, module reset, get and set power mode should be vetoed.

- Split port firmware flashing should be vetoed.

In order to veto those scenarios, add a flag in 'struct net_device' that
indicates when a firmware flash is taking place on the module and use it
to prevent interruptions during the process.
