This patch gathers NPA/NIX/SSO/SSOW/TIM/CPT RVU blocks's HW info like number of LFs. Important register offsets saved for later use to avoid code duplication for each block. A bitmap is allocated for each of the blocks which later on will be used to allocate a LF for a RVU PF/VF. Also added RVU NIX/NPA block registers and few registers of other blocks.

Currently driver registers to physical link notifications (of the device) from Management firmware (MFW). Driver doesn't get notified if there's a change in the virtual link e.g., link-flap on the peer PF interface. Virtual link indication from MFW reflects the per PF link status instead of the physical link. The patch adds driver support for, - Advertising the virtual link support to MFW. - Handling the virtual link notification from MFW. Please consider applying it to 'net-next'.

Alexei Starovoitov says: ==================== pull-request: bpf-next 2018-10-08 The following pull-request contains BPF updates for your *net-next* tree. The main changes are: 1) sk_lookup_[tcp|udp] and sk_release helpers from Joe Stringer which allow BPF programs to perform lookups for sockets in a network namespace. This would allow programs to determine early on in processing whether the stack is expecting to receive the packet, and perform some action (eg drop, forward somewhere) based on this information. 2) per-cpu cgroup local storage from Roman Gushchin. Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither lookups, neither atomic operations in a fast path. The example of these hybrid counters is in selftests/bpf/netcnt_prog.c 3) allow HW offload of programs with BPF-to-BPF function calls from Quentin Monnet 4) support more than 64-byte key/value in HW offloaded BPF maps from Jakub Kicinski 5) rename of libbpf interfaces from Andrey Ignatov. libbpf is maturing as a library and should follow good practices in library design and implementation to play well with other libraries. This patch set brings consistent naming convention to global symbols. 6) relicense libbpf as LGPL-2.1 OR BSD-2-Clause from Alexei Starovoitov to let Apache2 projects use libbpf 7) various AF_XDP fixes from Björn and Magnus ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Until now, both Rx and Tx confirmation frames handled during NAPI poll were counted toward the NAPI budget. However, Tx confirmations are lighter to process than Rx frames, which can skew the amount of work actually done inside one NAPI cycle. Update the code to only count Rx frames toward the NAPI budget and set a separate threshold on how many Tx conf frames can be processed in one poll cycle. The NAPI poll routine stops when either the budget is consumed by Rx frames or when Tx confirmation frames reach this threshold.

David Ahern says: ==================== rtnetlink: Add support for rigid checking of data in dump request There are many use cases where a user wants to influence what is returned in a dump for some rtnetlink command: one is wanting data for a different namespace than the one the request is received and another is limiting the amount of data returned in the dump to a specific set of interest to userspace, reducing the cpu overhead of both kernel and userspace. Unfortunately, the kernel has historically not been strict with checking for the proper header or checking the values passed in the header. This lenient implementation has allowed iproute2 and other packages to pass any struct or data in the dump request as long as the family is the first byte. For example, ifinfomsg struct is used by iproute2 for all generic dump requests - links, addresses, routes and rules when it is really only valid for link requests. There is 1 is example where the kernel deals with the wrong struct: link dumps after VF support was added. Older iproute2 was sending rtgenmsg as the header instead of ifinfomsg so a patch was added to try and detect old userspace vs new: e5eca6d4 ("rtnetlink: fix userspace API breakage for iproute2 < v3.9.0") The latest example is Christian's patch set wanting to return addresses for a target namespace. It guesses the header struct is an ifaddrmsg and if it guesses wrong a netlink warning is generated in the kernel log on every address dump which is unacceptable. Another example where the kernel is a bit lenient is route dumps: iproute2 can send either a request with either ifinfomsg or a rtmsg as the header struct, yet the kernel always treats the header as an rtmsg (see inet_dump_fib and rtm_flags check). The header inconsistency impacts the ability to add kernel side filters for route dumps - a necessary feature for scale setups with 100k+ routes. How to resolve the problem of not breaking old userspace yet be able to move forward with new features such as kernel side filtering which are crucial for efficient operation at high scale? This patch set addresses the problem by adding a new socket flag, NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK, that userspace can use with setsockopt to request strict checking of headers and attributes on dump requests and hence unlock the ability to use kernel side filters as they are added. Kernel side, the dump handlers are updated to verify the message contains at least the expected header struct: RTM_GETLINK: ifinfomsg RTM_GETADDR: ifaddrmsg RTM_GETMULTICAST: ifaddrmsg RTM_GETANYCAST: ifaddrmsg RTM_GETADDRLABEL: ifaddrlblmsg RTM_GETROUTE: rtmsg RTM_GETSTATS: if_stats_msg RTM_GETNEIGH: ndmsg RTM_GETNEIGHTBL: ndtmsg RTM_GETNSID: rtgenmsg RTM_GETRULE: fib_rule_hdr RTM_GETNETCONF: netconfmsg RTM_GETMDB: br_port_msg And then every field in the header struct should be 0 with the exception of the family. There are a few exceptions to this rule where the kernel already influences the data returned by values in the struct. Next the message should not contain attributes unless the kernel implements filtering for it. Any unexpected data causes the dump to fail with EINVAL. If the new flag is honored by the kernel and the dump contents adjusted by any data passed in the request, the dump handler can set the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED flag in the netlink message header. For old userspace on new kernel there is no impact as all checks are wrapped in a check on the new strict flag. For new userspace on old kernel, the data in the headers and any appended attributes are silently ignored though the setsockopt failing is the clue to userspace the feature is not supported. New userspace on new kernel gets the requested data dump. iproute2 patches can be found here: https://github.com/dsahern/iproute2 dump-enhancements Major changes since v1 - inner header is supposed to be 4-bytes aligned. So for dumps that should not have attributes appended changed the check to use: if (nlmsg_attrlen(nlh, sizeof(hdr))) Only impacts patches with headers that are not multiples of 4-bytes (rtgenmsg, netconfmsg), but applied the change to all patches not calling nlmsg_parse for consistency. - Added nlmsg_parse_strict and nla_parse_strict for tighter control on attribute parsing. There should be no unknown attribute types or extra bytes. - Moved validation to a helper in most cases Changes since rfc-v2 - dropped the NLM_F_DUMP_FILTERED flag from target nsid dumps per Jiri's objections - changed the opt-in uapi from a netlink message flag to a socket flag. setsockopt provides an api for userspace to definitively know if the kernel supports strict checking on dumps. - re-ordered patches to peel off the extack on dumps if needed to keep this set size within limits - misc cleanups in patches based on testing ==================== Acked-by: Christian Brauner <christian@brauner.io> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a new socket option, NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK, that userspace can use via setsockopt to request strict checking of headers and attributes on dump requests. To get dump features such as kernel side filtering based on data in the header or attributes appended to the dump request, userspace must call setsockopt() for NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK and a non-zero value. Since the netlink sock and its flags are private to the af_netlink code, the strict checking flag is passed to dump handlers via a flag in the netlink_callback struct. For old userspace on new kernel there is no impact as all of the data checks in later patches are wrapped in a check on the new strict flag. For new userspace on old kernel, the setsockopt will fail and even if new userspace sets data in the headers and appended attributes the kernel will silently ignore it. Moving forward when the setsockopt succeeds, the new userspace on old kernel means the dump request can pass an attribute the kernel does not understand. The dump will then fail as the older kernel does not understand it. New userspace on new kernel setting the socket option gets the benefit of the improved data dump. Kernel side the NETLINK_DUMP_STRICT_CHK uapi is converted to a generic NETLINK_F_STRICT_CHK flag which can potentially be leveraged for tighter checking on the NEW, DEL, and SET commands.

nla_parse is currently lenient on message parsing, allowing type to be 0 or greater than max expected and only logging a message "netlink: %d bytes leftover after parsing attributes in process `%s'." if the netlink message has unknown data at the end after parsing. What this could mean is that the header at the front of the attributes is actually wrong and the parsing is shifted from what is expected. Add a new strict version that actually fails with EINVAL if there are any bytes remaining after the parsing loop completes, if the atttrbitue type is 0 or greater than max expected.
