Subject: [PATCH RFC v1] ethtool: implement helper to get flow_type value
Often a driver wants to store the flow type and thus it must mask the
extra fields. This is a task that could grow more complex as more flags
are added in the future. Add a helper function that masks the flags for
marking additional fields.
Modify drivers in drivers/net/ethernet that currently check for FLOW_EXT
and FLOW_MAC_EXT to use the helper. Currently this is only the mellanox
drivers.
I chose not to modify other drivers as I'm actually unsure whether we
should always mask the flow type even for drivers which don't recognize
the newer flags. On the one hand, today's drivers (generally)
automatically fail when a new flag is used because they won't mask it
and their checks against flow_type will not match. On the other hand, it
means another place that you have to update when you begin implementing
a flag.
An alternative is to have the driver store a set of flags that it knows
about, and then have ethtool core do the check for us to discard frames.
I haven't implemented this quite yet.

I plan on using this helper when fixing the mask code for ntuple filters
in the Intel i40e driver. I wanted to see whether this approach was
acceptable, and whether we should implement additional checks. The
primary reason is that today's drivers are "fail closed" in that a new
flag type will probably fail on drivers due to checking for flow types
they recognize. Since drivers only remove the masked bits they recognize
this works. However, this gets cumbersome if new additional flags get
added in the future. I would like some sort of helper, but if we
encourage its use, and a new flag gets added, the helper will then
unforunately make the driver "fail open" in that a new flag will get
ignored as the driver won't know to return -EINVAL.
I think the right solution will be to add some sort of checks in core
ethtool which we can basically set the recognized flags in some way for
all drivers such that the ethtool core can drop requests for flows with
unknown flag types. I'm unsure how to implement this though.
Thoughts?
