Andrew Lunn says: ==================== DSA cleanup and fixes The RFC patchset for re-architecturing DSA probing contains a few standalone patches, either clean up or fixes. This pulls them out for submission. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Andrew Lunn authored
The fixed phys delete function simply removed the fixed phy from the internal linked list and freed the memory. It however did not unregister the associated phy device. This meant it was still possible to find the phy device on the mdio bus. Make fixed_phy_del() an internal function and add a fixed_phy_unregister() to unregisters the phy device and then uses fixed_phy_del() to free resources. Modify DSA to use this new API function, so we don't leak phys. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Andrew Lunn authored
When the phy is disconnected, the parent pointer to the netdev it was attached to is set to NULL. The code then tries to suspend the phy, but dsa_slave_fixed_link_update needs the parent pointer to determine which switch the phy is connected to. So it dereferenced a NULL pointer. Check for this condition. Signed-off-by: Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Daney says: ==================== net/phy: Improvements to Cavium Thunder MDIO code. Changes from v1: - In 1/3 Add back check for non-OF objects in bgx_init_of_phy(). It is probably not necessary, but better safe than sorry... The firmware on many Cavium Thunder systems configures the MDIO bus hardware to be probed as a PCI device. In order to use the MDIO bus drivers in this configuration, we must add PCI probing to the driver. There are two parts to this set of three patches: 1) Cleanup the PHY probing code in thunder_bgx.c to handle the case where there is no PHY attached to a port, as well as being more robust in the face of driver loading order by use of -EPROBE_DEFER. 2) Split mdio-octeon.c into two drivers, one with platform probing, and the other with PCI probing. Common code is shared between the two. Tested on several different Thunder and OCTEON systems, also compile tested on x86_64. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

David Daney authored
The Cavium Thunder SoCs have multiple MIDO buses that are part of a single PCI device. To model this in the device tree we call the PCI parent device a "cavium,thunder-8890-mdio-nexus", it has several children, one for each MDIO bus. The MDIO bus hardware is identical to that found in the OCTEON SoCs, so we use that code for things that are not part of the PCI driver probe/remove Signed-off-by: David Daney <david.daney@cavium.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

David Daney authored
A follow-on patch uses PCI probing to find the Thunder MDIO hardware. In preparation for this, split out the common code into a new file mdio-cavium.c, which will be used by both the existing OCTEON driver, and the new Thunder PCI based driver. As part of the refactoring simplify the struct cavium_mdiobus by removing fields that are only ever used in the probe function and can just as well be local variables. Use readq/writeq in preference to readq_relaxed/writeq_relaxed as the relaxed form was an optimization for an early chip revision, and the MDIO drivers are not performance bottlenecks that need optimization in the first place.

Remove the call to force the octeon-mdio driver to be loaded. Allow the standard driver loading mechanisms to load the PHY drivers, and use -EPROBE_DEFER to cause the BGX driver to be probed only after the PHY drivers are available. Reorder the setting of MAC addresses and PHY probing to allow BGX LMACs with no attached PHY to still be assigned a MAC address.

Per RFC4898, they count segments sent/received containing a positive length data segment (that includes retransmission segments carrying data). Unlike tcpi_segs_out/in, tcpi_data_segs_out/in excludes segments carrying no data (e.g. pure ack). The patch also updates the segs_in in tcp_fastopen_add_skb() so that segs_in >= data_segs_in property is kept. Together with retransmission data, tcpi_data_segs_out gives a better signal on the rxmit rate. v6: Rebase on the latest net-next v5: Eric pointed out that checking skb->len is still needed in tcp_fastopen_add_skb() because skb can carry a FIN without data. Hence, instead of open coding segs_in and data_segs_in, tcp_segs_in() helper is used. Comment is added to the fastopen case to explain why segs_in has to be reset and tcp_segs_in() has to be called before __skb_pull(). v4: Add comment to the changes in tcp_fastopen_add_skb() and also add remark on this case in the commit message. v3: Add const modifier to the skb parameter in tcp_segs_in() v2: Rework based on recent fix by Eric: commit a9d99ce2 ("tcp: fix tcpi_segs_in after connection establishment") Signed-off-by: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Cc: Chris Rapier <rapier@psc.edu> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Cc: Marcelo Ricardo Leitner <mleitner@redhat.com> Cc: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Cc: Yuchung Cheng <ycheng@google.com> Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

It turns out that it's actually really useful once I disabled -Wunused-const-variable, and all of the warnings it found in network drivers seem valid. Sorry for the bad timing in the merge window, but I figured it would be better to send the fixes as I found the bugs rather than waiting for the next cycle. The first three look appropriate for stable backports. The other two only fix a gcc warning about incorrect whitespace, probably not worth backporting those. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Code that was added back in 2.6.38 has an obvious overflow when accessing a static array, and at the time it was added only a code comment was put in front of it as a reminder to have it reviewed properly. This has not happened, but gcc-6 now points to the specific overflow: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c: In function 'ath9k_hw_get_gain_boundaries_pdadcs': drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/eeprom.c:483:44: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] maxPwrT4[i] = data_9287[idxL].pwrPdg[i][4]; ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~ It turns out that the correct array length exists in the local 'intercepts' variable of this function, so we can just use that instead of hardcoding '4', so this patch changes all three instances to use that variable.

Gregory CLEMENT says: ==================== API set for HW Buffer management This is the sixth version of the API set for HW Buffer management (that was initially submitted here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2125152). This version is just a rebasing onto the last net-next. I also added the Tested-by flag from Sebastian Careba : "The patch set applies successfully and it works well, no more Samba issues any longer". For the record in the previous versions I made the following changes: v4 -> v5: - Add a field with the size of the buffer of the pool was added. It then allow to fix some misused size in the mvneta_bm code when using the new framework. - Add a new patch from Marcin for sram allowing to require non-bufferable access to the memory. It was needed for the hardware buffer management of the mvneta. - Fix the build issue notified by the 0-day builder when building the drivers as module. v3 -> v4 - Fix build issue when HWBM is not selected v2 -> v3 - Make a HWBM and a SWBM version of the mvneta_rx() function in order to reduce the the conditional code. Kept a condition inside the mvneta_poll because specializing this function would have means duplicating 95% of the code. - Put back the register_netdev() call at the end of the mvneta_probe() function. In order to have a unique ID for each port, just used a global variable in the driver. - Added a fix from Marcin in the "net: mvneta: bm: add support for hardware buffer management" patch: "when dropping packets, only buffer pointers passed from BM to descriptors have to be returned to the pool. In submitted version after closing the port and mvneta_rxq_deinit(), it was very likely that a lot of fake buffers are added to the pool, because all descriptors took part in iteration." - Removed the select MVNETA_BM from the Kconfig, it will let the user the choice to use not use it if they want. v1 -> v2 - The hardware buffer management helpers are no more built by default and now depend on a hidden config symbol which has to be selected by the driver if needed - The hwbm_pool_refill() and hwbm_pool_add() now receive a gfp_t as argument allowing the caller to specify the flag it needs. - buf_num is now tested to ensure there is no wrapping - A spinlock has been added to protect the hwbm_pool_add() function in SMP or irq context. - used pr_warn instead of pr_debug in case of errors. - fixed the mvneta implementation by returning the buffer to the pool at various place instead of ignoring it. - Squashed "bus: mvenus-mbus: Fix size test for mvebu_mbus_get_dram_win_info" into bus: mvebu-mbus: provide api for obtaining IO and DRAM window information. - Added my signed-otf-by on all the patches as submitter of the series. - Renamed the dts patches with the pattern "ARM: dts: platform:" - Removed the patch "ARM: mvebu: enable SRAM support in mvebu_v7_defconfig" of this series and already applied it - Modified the order of the patches. In order to ease the test the branch mvneta-BM-framework-v6 is available at git@github.com:MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public.git. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Buffer manager (BM) is a dedicated hardware unit that can be used by all ethernet ports of Armada XP and 38x SoC's. It allows to offload CPU on RX path by sparing DRAM access on refilling buffer pool, hardware-based filling of descriptor ring data and better memory utilization due to HW arbitration for using 'short' pools for small packets. Tests performed with A388 SoC working as a network bridge between two packet generators showed increase of maximum processed 64B packets by ~20k (~555k packets with BM enabled vs ~535 packets without BM). Also when pushing 1500B-packets with a line rate achieved, CPU load decreased from around 25% without BM to 20% with BM. BM comprise up to 4 buffer pointers' (BP) rings kept in DRAM, which are called external BP pools - BPPE. Allocating and releasing buffer pointers (BP) to/from BPPE is performed indirectly by write/read access to a dedicated internal SRAM, where internal BP pools (BPPI) are placed. BM hardware controls status of BPPE automatically, as well as assigning proper buffers to RX descriptors. For more details please refer to Functional Specification of Armada XP or 38x SoC. In order to enable support for a separate hardware block, common for all ports, a new driver has to be implemented ('mvneta_bm'). It provides initialization sequence of address space, clocks, registers, SRAM, empty pools' structures and also obtaining optional configuration from DT (please refer to device tree binding documentation). mvneta_bm exposes also a necessary API to mvneta driver, as well as a dedicated structure with BM information (bm_priv), whose presence is used as a flag notifying of BM usage by port. It has to be ensured that mvneta_bm probe is executed prior to the ones in ports' driver. In case BM is not used or its probe fails, mvneta falls back to use software buffer management. A sequence executed in mvneta_probe function is modified in order to have an access to needed resources before possible port's BM initialization is done. According to port-pools mapping provided by DT appropriate registers are configured and the buffer pools are filled. RX path is modified accordingly. Becaues the hardware allows a wide variety of configuration options, following assumptions are made: * using BM mechanisms can be selectively disabled/enabled basing on DT configuration among the ports * 'long' pool's single buffer size is tied to port's MTU * using 'long' pool by port is obligatory and it cannot be shared * using 'short' pool for smaller packets is optional * one 'short' pool can be shared among all ports This commit enables hardware buffer management operation cooperating with existing mvneta driver. New device tree binding documentation is added and the one of mvneta is updated accordingly.
