Russell King says: ==================== net: axienet: modernise pcs implementation These two patches modernise the Xilinx axienet PCS implementation to use the phylink split PCS support. The first patch adds split PCS support and makes use of the newly introduced mac_select_pcs() function, which is the preferred way to conditionally attach a PCS. The second patch cleans up the use of mdiobus_write() since we now have bus accessors for mdio devices. There should be no functional change to the driver. This series was previously sent CFT on the 16th December (message ID Ybs1cdM3KUTsq4Vx@shell.armlinux.org.uk), and feedback addressed. CFT v2 sent 4th January (message ID YdQlI8gcVwg2sR+5@shell.armlinux.org.uk). ==================== Signed-off-by:David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Commit 0ebecb26 ("net: mdio: Add helper functions for accessing MDIO devices") added support for mdiodev accessor operations that neatly wrap the mdiobus accessor operations. Since we are dealing with a mdio device here, update the driver to use mdiodev_write(). Tested-by:

Michael Chan says: ==================== bnxt_en: Add RTC mode for PTP This series adds Real Time Clock (RTC) mode for PTP timestamping. In RTC mode, the 64-bit time value is programmed into the NIC's PTP hardware clock (PHC). Prior to this, the PHC is running as a free counter. For example, in multi-function environment, we need to run PTP in RTC mode. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Add support for RTC mode if it is supported by firmware. In RTC mode, the PHC is set to the 64-bit clock. Because the legacy interface is 48-bit, the driver still has to keep track of the upper 16 bits and handle the rollover. Cc: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Reviewed-by:

Russell King says: ==================== net: stmmac/xpcs: modernise PCS support This series updates xpcs and stmmac for the recent changes to phylink to better support split PCS and to get rid of private MAC validation functions. This series is slightly more involved than other conversions as stmmac has already had optional proper split PCS support. The first six patches of this series were originally posted on 16th December for CFT, and Wong Vee Khee reported his Intel Elkhart Lake setup was fine the first six these. However, no tested-by was given. The patches: 1) Provide a function to query the xpcs for the interface modes that are supported. 2) Populates the MAC capabilities and switches stmmac_validate() to use phylink_get_linkmodes(). We do not use phylink_generic_validate() yet as (a) we do not always have the supported interfaces populated, and (b) the existing code does not restrict based on interface. There should be no functional effect from this patch. 3) Populates phylink's supported interfaces from the xpcs when the xpcs is configured by firmware and also the firmware configured interface mode. Note: this will restrict stmmac to only supporting these interfaces modes - stmmac maintainers need to verify that this behaviour is acceptable. 4) stmmac_validate() tail-calls xpcs_validate(), but we don't need it to now that PCS have their own validation method. Convert stmmac and xpcs to use this method instead. 5) xpcs sets the poll field of phylink_pcs to true, meaning xpcs requires its status to be polled. There is no need to also set the phylink_config.pcs_poll. Remove this. 6) Switch to phylink_generic_validate(). This is probably the most contravertial change in this patch set as this will cause the MAC to restrict link modes based on the interface mode. From an inspection of the xpcs driver, this should be safe, as XPCS only further restricts the link modes to a subset of these (whether that is correct or not is not an issue I am addressing here.) For implementations that do not use xpcs, this is a more open question and needs feedback from stmmac maintainers. 7) Convert to use mac_select_pcs() rather than phylink_set_pcs() to set the PCS - the intention is to eventually remove phylink_set_pcs() once there are no more users of this. v2: fix signoff and temporary warning in patch 4 ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Fill in phylink's supported_interfaces bitmap with the PHY interface modes which can be used to talk to the PHY. We indicate that the PHY interface mode passed in platform data is always supported, as this is the initial mode passed into phylink. When there is no PCS specified, we assume that this is the only mode that is supported - indeed, the driver appears not to support dynamic switching of interface types at present. When a xpcs is present, it defines the PHY interface modes that the stmmac driver can support. Request the supported interfaces from the xpcs driver, and pass them to phylink. Tested-by:

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Add RJ45 ports support We are in the process of qualifying a new system that has RJ45 ports as opposed to the transceiver modules (e.g., SFP, QSFP) present on all existing systems. This patchset adds support for these ports in mlxsw by adding a couple of missing BaseT link modes and rejecting ethtool operations that are specific to transceiver modules. Patchset overview: Patches #1-#3 are cleanups and preparations. Patch #4 adds support for two new link modes. Patches #5-#6 query and cache the port module's type (e.g., QSFP, RJ45) during initialization. Patches #7-#9 forbid ethtool operations that are invalid on RJ45 ports. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

IPv6 GRO considers packets to belong to different flows when their hop_limit is different. This seems counter-intuitive, the flow is the same. hop_limit may vary because of various bugs or hacks but that doesn't mean it's okay for GRO to reorder packets. Practical impact of this problem on overall TCP performance is unclear, but TCP itself detects this reordering and bumps TCPSACKReorder resulting in user complaints. Eric warns that there may be performance regressions in setups which do packet spraying across links with similar RTT but different hop count. To be safe let's target -next and not treat this as a fix. If the packet spraying is using flow label there should be no difference in behavior as flow label is checked first. Note that the code plays an easy to miss trick by upcasting next_hdr to a u16 pointer and compares next_hdr and hop_limit in one go. Signed-off-by:

Tobias Waldekranz says: ==================== net: dsa: Avoid cross-chip syncing of VLAN filtering This bug has been latent in the source for quite some time, I suspect due to the homogeneity of both typical configurations and hardware. On singlechip systems, this would never be triggered. The only reason I saw it on my multichip system was because not all chips had the same number of ports, which means that the misdemeanor alien call turned into a felony array-out-of-bounds access. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Changes to VLAN filtering are not applicable to cross-chip notifications. On a system like this: .-----. .-----. .-----. | sw1 +---+ sw2 +---+ sw3 | '-1-2-' '-1-2-' '-1-2-' Before this change, upon sw1p1 leaving a bridge, a call to dsa_port_vlan_filtering would also be made to sw2p1 and sw3p1. In this scenario: .---------. .-----. .-----. | sw1 +---+ sw2 +---+ sw3 | '-1-2-3-4-' '-1-2-' '-1-2-' When sw1p4 would leave a bridge, dsa_port_vlan_filtering would be called for sw2 and sw3 with a non-existing port - leading to array out-of-bounds accesses and crashes on mv88e6xxx.

TCP ipv4 uses per-cpu/per-netns ctl sockets in order to send RST and some ACK packets (on behalf of TIMEWAIT sockets). This adds memory and cpu costs, which do not seem needed. Now typical servers have 256 or more cores, this adds considerable tax to netns users. tcp sockets are used from BH context, are not receiving packets, and do not store any persistent state but the 'struct net' pointer in order to be able to use IPv4 output functions. Note that I attempted a related change in the past, that had to be hot-fixed in commit bdbbb852 ("ipv4: tcp: get rid of ugly unicast_sock") This patch could very well surface old bugs, on layers not taking care of sk->sk_kern_sock properly.

Now typical servers have 256 or more cores, this adds considerable tax to netns users. icmp sockets are used from BH context, are not receiving packets, and do not store any persistent state but the 'struct net' pointer. icmpv6_xmit_lock() already makes sure to lock the chosen per-cpu socket. This patch has a considerable impact on the number of netns that the worker thread in cleanup_net() can dismantle per second, because ip6mr_sk_done() is no longer called, meaning we no longer acquire the rtnl mutex, competing with other threads adding new netns.
