Implement LINKINFO_SET netlink request to set link settings queried by
LINKINFO_GET message.
Only physical port, phy MDIO address and MDI(-X) control can be set,
attempt to modify MDI(-X) status and transceiver is rejected.
When any data is modified, ETHTOOL_MSG_LINKINFO_NTF message in the same
format as reply to LINKINFO_GET request is sent to notify userspace about
the changes. The same notification is also sent when these settings are
modified using the ioctl interface.

It is a bit confusing and harder to follow when you have set and notify

This is what I was talking about in the other email. These common attrs
should have common policy and should be parsed by generic netlink code
by default and be available for ethnl_set_linkinfo() in info->attrs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the only notification I found in
this patchset. Do you expect other then ethnl_std_notify() handler?
Bacause otherwise this can ba simplified down to just a single table
similar you have for GET.

As the notification is composed and sent by ethnl_std_notify() with help
of the callback functions used to generate the reply to GET request, the
only notification related changes in this patch are the three calls to
ethtool_notify() (one in netlink code, two in ioctl code) and the entry
added to ethnl_notify_handlers[].
But I have no objection to splitting these out into a separate patch,
except for having sacrifice some of the patches actually implementing
something so that the series doesn't get too long.

NLA_REJECT for ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_RFLAGS is probably an overkill here. If
I just check that client does not set flags we do not know, I can have
one universal header policy as well. I'll probably do that.

Not really. It would only parse the top level - which, in your design,
would only be the common header. In other words, it would do what is now
done by the call to nla_parse_nested() inside ethnl_parse_header(). For
equivalent of this parse, you would still have to call your own
nla_parse_nested() on the "request specific data" nested attribute.

...and also (each) start(). Which means you would either duplicate the
code or introduce the same helper. All you would save would be that one
call of nla_parse_nested() in ethnl_parse_header().

Yes, there will be other handlers; ethnl_std_notify() can only handle
the simplest (even if most common) type of notification where caller
does not pass any information except the device, the notification
message is exactly the same as reply to corresponding GET request would
be and that GET request does not have any attributes (so that it can be
handled with ethnl_get_doit()).
There will be notifications which will need their own handlers, e.g. all
notifications triggered by an action request (e.g. renegotiation or
device reset) or notifications triggered by "ethtool -X".

Okay, the parse would stay, you are correct.

Sure, it could be a same helper called fro pre_doit and start. No

Please make ETHTOOL_A_HEADER_DEV_NAME accept alternative names as well.
Just s/IFNAMSIZ/ALTIFNAMSIZ should be enough.
