In order to unify the tx status path, the hw 802.11 encapsulation flag needs to survive the trip to the tx status call. Since we don't have any free bits in info->flags, we need to move one. IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING is only used internally in mac80211, and only before the call into the driver. Signed-off-by:

The current API (which lets the driver turn on/off per vif directly) has a number of limitations: - it does not deal with AP_VLAN - conditions for enabling (no tkip, no monitor) are only checked at add_interface time - no way to indicate 4-addr support In order to address this, store offload flags in struct ieee80211_vif (easy to extend for decap offload later). mac80211 initially sets the enable flag, but gives the driver a chance to modify it before its settings are applied. In addition to the .add_interface op, a .update_vif_offload op is introduced, which can be used for runtime changes. If a driver can't disable encap offload at runtime, or if it has some extra limitations, it can simply override the flags within those ops. Support for encap offload with 4-address mode interfaces can be enabled by setting a flag from .add_interface or .update_vif_offload. Signed-off-by:

Christoph reported an infinite loop in the subflow receive path under stress condition. If there are multiple subflows, each of them using a large send buffer, the delta between the sequence number used by MPTCP-level retransmission can and the current msk->ack_seq can be greater than MAX_INT. In the above scenario, when calling mptcp_subflow_discard_data(), such delta will be truncated to int, and could result in a negative number: no bytes will be dropped, and subflow_check_data_avail() will try again to process the same packet, looping forever. This change addresses the issue by expanding the 'limit' size to 64 bits, so that overflows are not possible anymore.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Support dcbnl_setbuffer, dcbnl_getbuffer Petr says: On Spectrum, port buffers, also called port headroom, is where packets are stored while they are parsed and the forwarding decision is being made. For lossless traffic flows, in case shared buffer admission is not allowed, headroom is also where to put the extra traffic received before the sent PAUSE takes effect. Linux supports two DCB interfaces related to the headroom: dcbnl_setbuffer for configuration, and dcbnl_getbuffer for inspection. This patch set implements them. With dcbnl_setbuffer in place, there will be two sources of authority over the ingress configuration: the DCB ETS hook, because ETS configuration is mirrored to ingress, and the DCB setbuffer hook. mlxsw is in a similar situation on the egress side, where there are two sources of the ETS configuration: the DCB ETS hook, and the TC qdisc hooks. This is a non-intuitive situation, because the way the ASIC ends up being configured depends not only on the actual configured bits, but also on the order in which they were configured. To prevent these issues on the ingress side, two configuration modes will exist: DCB mode and TC mode. DCB ETS will keep getting projected to ingress in the (default) DCB mode. When a qdisc is installed on a port, it will be switched to the TC mode, the ingress configuration will be done through the dcbnl_setbuffer callback. The reason is that the dcbnl_setbuffer hook is not standardized and supported by lldpad. Projecting DCB ETS configuration to ingress is a reasonable heuristic to configure ingress especially when PFC is in effect. In patch #1, the toggle between the DCB and TC modes of headroom configuration, described above, is introduced. Patch #2 implements dcbnl_getbuffer and dcbnl_setbuffer. dcbnl_getbuffer can be always used to determine the current port headroom configuration. dcbnl_setbuffer is only permitted in the TC mode. In patch #3, make the qdisc module toggle the headroom mode from DCB to TC and back, depending on whether there is an offloaded qdisc on the port. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

There are two interfaces to configure ETS: qdiscs and DCB. Historically, DCB ETS configuration was projected to ingress as well, and configured port buffers. Qdisc was not. Keep qdiscs behaving this way, and if an offloaded qdisc is configured on a port, move this port's headroom to a manual mode, thus allowing configuration of port buffers through dcbnl_setbuffer.

Petr Machata authored
There are two interfaces to configure ETS: qdiscs and DCB. Historically, DCB ETS configuration was projected to ingress as well, and configured port buffers. Qdisc was not. So as not to break clients that today use DCB ETS and PFC and rely on getting a reasonable ingress buffer priomap, keep the ETS mirroring in effect. Since qdiscs have not done this mirroring historically, it is reasonable not to introduce it, but rather permit manual ingress configuration through dcbnl_setbuffer only in the qdisc mode. This will require a toggle to indicate whether buffer sizes should be autocomputed or taken from dcbnl_setbuffer, and likewise for priomaps. Introduce such and initialize it, and guard port buffer size configuration as appropriate. The toggle is currently left in the DCB position. In a following patch, qdisc code will switch it.

Merge branch 'net-marvell-prestera-Add-Switchdev-driver-for-Prestera-family-ASIC-device-98DX3255-AC3x' Vadym Kochan says: ==================== net: marvell: prestera: Add Switchdev driver for Prestera family ASIC device 98DX3255 (AC3x) Marvell Prestera 98DX3255 integrates up to 24 ports of 1GbE with 8 ports of 10GbE uplinks or 2 ports of 40Gbps stacking for a largely wireless SMB deployment. Prestera Switchdev is a firmware based driver that operates via PCI bus. The current implementation supports only boards designed for the Marvell Switchdev solution and requires special firmware. This driver implementation includes only L1, basic L2 support, and RX/TX. The core Prestera switching logic is implemented in prestera_main.c, there is an intermediate hw layer between core logic and firmware. It is implemented in prestera_hw.c, the purpose of it is to encapsulate hw related logic, in future there is a plan to support more devices with different HW related configurations. The following Switchdev features are supported: - VLAN-aware bridge offloading - VLAN-unaware bridge offloading - FDB offloading (learning, ageing) - Switchport configuration The original firmware image is uploaded to the linux-firmware repository. PATCH v9: 1) Replace read_poll_timeout_atomic() by original 'do {} while()' loop because it works much better than read_poll_timeout_atomic() considering the TX rate. Also it fixes warning reported on v8. 2) Use ENOENT instead of EEXIST when item is not found in few places - prestera_hw.c and prestera_rxtx.c Patches updated: [1] net: marvell: prestera: Add driver for Prestera family ASIC devices PATCH v8: 1) Put license in one line. 2) Sort includes. 3) Add missing comma for last enum member 4) Return original error code from last called func in places where instead other error code was used. 5) Add comma for last member in initialized struct in prestera_hw.c 6) Do not initialize 'int err = 0' where it is not needed. 7) Simplify device-tree "marvell,prestera" node parsing by removing not needed checking on 'np == NULL'. 8) Use u32p_replace_bits() instead of open-coded ((word & ~mask) | val) 9) Use dev_warn_ratelimited() instead of pr_warn_ratelimited to indicate the device instance in prestera_rxtx.c 10) Simplify circular buffer list creation in prestera_sdma_{rx,tx}_init() by using do { } while (prev != tail) construction. 11) Use MSEC_PER_SEC instead of hard-coded 1000. 12) Use traditional error handling pattern: err = F(); if (err) return err; 13) Use ether_addr_copy() instead of memcpy() for mac FDB copying in prestera_hw.c 14) Drop swdev->ageing_time member which is not used. 15) Fix ageing macro to be in ms instead of seconds.

PATCH: 1) Fixed W=1 warnings 2) Renamed PCI driver name to be more generic "Prestera DX" because there will be more devices supported. 3) Changed firmware image dir path: marvell/ -> mrvl/prestera/ to be aligned with location in linux-firmware.git (if such will be accepted). RFC v3: 1) Fix prestera prefix in prestera_rxtx.c 2) Protect concurrent access from multiple ports on multiple CPU system on tx path by spinlock in prestera_rxtx.c 3) Try to get base mac address from device-tree, otherwise use a random generated one. 4) Move ethtool interface support into separate prestera_ethtool.c file. 5) Add basic devlink support and get rid of physical port naming ops. 6) Add STP support in Switchdev driver. 7) Removed MODULE_AUTHOR 8) Renamed prestera.c -> prestera_main.c, and kernel module to prestera.ko RFC v2: 1) Use "pestera_" prefix in struct's and functions instead of mvsw_pr_ 2) Original series split into additional patches for Switchdev ethtool support. 3) Use major and minor firmware version numbers in the firmware image filename. 4) Removed not needed prints. 5) Use iopoll API for waiting on register's value in prestera_pci.c 6) Use standart approach for describing PCI ID matching section instead of using custom wrappers in prestera_pci.c 7) Add RX/TX support in prestera_rxtx.c. 8) Rewritten prestera_switchdev.c with following changes: - handle netdev events from prestera.c - use struct prestera_bridge for bridge objects, and get rid of struct prestera_bridge_device which may confuse. - use refcount_t 9) Get rid of macro usage for sending fw requests in prestera_hw.c 10) Add base_mac setting as module parameter. base_mac is required for generation default port's mac. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

The driver is loading it from: /lib/firmware/mrvl/prestera/mvsw_prestera_fw-v{MAJOR}.{MINOR}.img The full firmware image version is located within the internal header and consists of 3 numbers - MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Additionally, driver has hard-coded minimum supported firmware version which it can work with: MAJOR - reflects the support on ABI level between driver and loaded firmware, this number should be the same for driver and loaded firmware. MINOR - this is the minimum supported version between driver and the firmware. PATCH - indicates only fixes, firmware ABI is not changed. Firmware image file name contains only MAJOR and MINOR numbers to make driver be compatible with any PATCH version. Co-developed-by:Oleksandr Mazur <oleksandr.mazur@plvision.eu> Signed-off-by:

Currently supported devices have DMA access range <= 32bit and require ZONE_DMA to be enabled, for such cases SDMA driver checks if the skb allocated in proper range supported by the Prestera device. Also meanwhile there is no TX interrupt support in current firmware version so recycling work is scheduled on each xmit. Port's mac address is generated from the switch base mac which may be provided via device-tree (static one or as nvme cell), or randomly generated. This is required by the firmware. Co-developed-by:

1. Change all "dev->hard_header" to "dev->header_ops" 2. On receiving incoming frames when header_ops == NULL: The comment only says what is wrong, but doesn't say what is right. This patch changes the comment to make it clear what is right. 3. On transmitting and receiving outgoing frames when header_ops == NULL: The comment explains that the LL header will be later added by the driver. However, I think it's better to simply say that the LL header is invisible to us. This phrasing is better from a software engineering perspective, because this makes it clear that what happens in the driver should be hidden from us and we should not care about what happens internally in the driver. 4. On resuming the LL header (for RAW frames) when header_ops == NULL: The comment says we are "unlikely" to restore the LL header. However, we should say that we are "unable" to restore it. It's not possible (rather than not likely) to restore it, because: 1) There is no way for us to restore because the LL header internally processed by the driver should be invisible to us. 2) In function packet_rcv and tpacket_rcv, the code only tries to restore the LL header when header_ops != NULL.
