Merge branch 'fix-dropping-of-oversize-preemptible-frames-with-felix-dsa-driver'
Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Fix dropping of oversize preemptible frames with felix DSA driver It has been reported that preemptible traffic doesn't completely behave as expected. Namely, large packets should be able to be squeezed (through fragmentation) through taprio time slots smaller than the transmission time of the full frame. That does not happen due to logic in the driver (for oversize frame dropping with taprio) that was not updated in order for this use case to work. I am not sure whether it qualifies as "net" material, because some structural changes are involved, and it is a "never worked" scenario. OTOH, this is a complaint coming from users for a v6.4 kernel. It's up to maintainers to decide whether this series can be considered; I've submitted it as non-RFC in the optimistic case that it will be :) Demo script illustrating the issue below. add_taprio() { local ifname=$1 echo "Creating root taprio" tc qdisc replace dev $ifname handle 8001: parent root stab overhead 24 taprio \ num_tc 8 \ map 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 \ queues 1@0 1@1 1@2 1@3 1@4 1@5 1@6 1@7 \ base-time 0 \ sched-entry S 01 1216 \ sched-entry S fe 12368 \ fp P E E E E E E E \ flags 0x2 } remove_taprio() { local ifname=$1 echo "Removing taprio" tc qdisc del dev $ifname root } ip netns add ns0 ip link set eno0 netns ns0 && ip -n ns0 link set eno0 up && ip -n ns0 addr add 192.168.100.1/24 dev eno0 ip addr add 192.168.100.2/24 dev swp0 && ip link set swp0 up ip netns exec ns0 ethtool --set-mm eno0 pmac-enabled on verify-enabled off tx-enabled on ethtool --set-mm swp0 pmac-enabled on verify-enabled off tx-enabled on add_taprio swp0 ping 192.168.100.1 -s 1000 -c 5 # sent through TC0 ethtool -I --show-mm swp0 | grep MACMergeFragCountTx # should increase ip addr flush swp0 && ip link set swp0 down remove_taprio swp0 ethtool --set-mm swp0 pmac-enabled off verify-enabled off tx-enabled off ip netns exec ns0 ethtool --set-mm eno0 pmac-enabled off verify-enabled off tx-enabled off ip netns del ns0 ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230705104422.49025-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
