From 9a0f830f80265bd1ef816e1541ac24bee80e9a3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jakub Kicinski Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2022 12:01:25 -0700 Subject: ethtool: linkstate: add a statistic for PHY down events The previous attempt to augment carrier_down (see Link) was not met with much enthusiasm so let's do the simple thing of exposing what some devices already maintain. Add a common ethtool statistic for link going down. Currently users have to maintain per-driver mapping to extract the right stat from the vendor-specific ethtool -S stats. carrier_down does not fit the bill because it counts a lot of software related false positives. Add the statistic to the extended link state API to steer vendors towards implementing all of it. Implement for bnxt and all Linux-controlled PHYs. mlx5 and (possibly) enic also have a counter for this but I leave the implementation to their maintainers.
