This is to add basic ethernet support for HNS. It is one of the way to use the HNS acceleration engine. But most of the decoding/encoding capability of the AE cannot be used in this way. This submit contains the basic feature as a ethernet driver. More will be added later.

The Hisilicon Network Subsystem is a long term evolution IP which is supposed to be used in Hisilicon ICT SoC. The IP, which is called hns for short, is a TCP/IP acceleration engine, which can directly decode TCP/IP stream and distribute them to different ring buffers. HNS can be configured to work on different mode for different scenario. This patch make use only some of the mode to make it as standard ethernet NIC. The other mode will be added soon. The whole function has 4 kernel sub-modules: hnae: the HNS acceleration engine framework. It provides a abstract interface between the engine and the upper layers which make use of the engine by ring buffer. hns_enet_drv: a standard ethernet driver that base on the ring buffer. hns_dsaf: one of the implementation of HNS acceleration engine, which is applied on Hililicon hip05, Hi1610 and other later-on SoCs hns_mdio: the mdio control to the PHY, used by acceleration engine This submit add basic config and documents Signed-off-by: huangdaode <huangdaode@hisilicon.com> Signed-off-by: Kenneth Lee <liguozhu@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: Yisen Zhuang <Yisen.Zhuang@huawei.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add support for the ethtool rx-frames coalescing parameter which allows defining the number of RX interrupts per frames received. The RDMA engine supports a configurable timeout with a resolution of approximately 8.192 us. We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would fire for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE interrupt purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1. Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Configuring the ethtool tx-frames property, which translates into N packets before a TX interrupt is the simplest configuration scheme because it requires no locking neither at the softare nor hardware level, and is completely indepedent from the link speed. Since ethtool does not allow per-tx queue coalescing parameters, we apply the same setting to any transmit queue. We can no longer enable the BDONE/PDONE interrupts as those would fire for each packet/buffer received, which would defeat the MBDONE interrupt purpose. The MBDONE interrupt is guaranteed to correspond to a PDONE/BDONE interrupt when the threshold is set to 1, but offers interrupt coalescing when the value is > 1. Since the HW is configured to generate an interrupt when the ring becomes emtpy, we have to deny any timeout/timer settings coming from user-space to indicate we can only generate an interrupt very <N> packets. While we are at it, fix the DMA_INTR_THRESHOLD_MASK value which was off by one bit (0xff vs. 0x1ff). Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Existing bpf_clone_redirect() helper clones skb before redirecting it to RX or TX of destination netdev. Introduce bpf_redirect() helper that does that without cloning. Benchmarked with two hosts using 10G ixgbe NICs. One host is doing line rate pktgen. Another host is configured as: $ tc qdisc add dev $dev ingress $ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \ action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section clone_redirect_xmit drop so it receives the packet on $dev and immediately xmits it on $dev + 1 The section 'clone_redirect_xmit' in tcbpf1_kern.o file has the program that does bpf_clone_redirect() and performance is 2.0 Mpps $ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:2 \ action bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit drop which is using bpf_redirect() - 2.4 Mpps and using cls_bpf with integrated actions as: $ tc filter add dev $dev root pref 10 \ bpf run object-file tcbpf1_kern.o section redirect_xmit integ_act classid 1 performance is 2.5 Mpps To summarize: u32+act_bpf using clone_redirect - 2.0 Mpps u32+act_bpf using redirect - 2.4 Mpps cls_bpf using redirect - 2.5 Mpps For comparison linux bridge in this setup is doing 2.1 Mpps and ixgbe rx + drop in ip_rcv - 7.8 Mpps Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@plumgrid.com> Acked-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

For backwards compatibility reasons enable this feature under TCA_BPF_FLAG_ACT_DIRECT flag. Then more interesting programs like the following are easier to write: int cls_bpf_prog(struct __sk_buff *skb) { /* classify arp, ip, ipv6 into different traffic classes * and drop all other packets */ switch (skb->protocol) { case htons(ETH_P_ARP): skb->tc_classid = 1; break; case htons(ETH_P_IP): skb->tc_classid = 2; break; case htons(ETH_P_IPV6): skb->tc_classid = 3; break; default: return TC_ACT_SHOT; } return TC_ACT_OK; } Joint work with Daniel Borkmann.

In commit b73c3d0e ("net: Save TX flow hash in sock and set in skbuf on xmit"), Tom provided a l4 hash to most outgoing TCP packets. We'd like to provide one as well for SYNACK packets, so that all packets of a given flow share same txhash, to later enable bonding driver to also use skb->hash to perform slave selection. Note that a SYNACK retransmit shuffles the tx hash, as Tom did in commit 265f94ff ("net: Recompute sk_txhash on negative routing advice") for established sockets. This has nice effect making TCP flows resilient to some kind of black holes, even at connection establish phase.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== Passing net through the netfilter hooks My primary goal with this patchset and it's follow ups is to cleanup the network routing paths so that we do not look at the output device to derive the network namespace. My plan is to pass the network namespace of the transmitting socket through the output path, to replace code that looks at the output network device today. Once that is done we can have routes with output devices outside of the current network namespace. Which should allow reception and transmission of packets in network namespaces to be as fast as normal packet reception and transmission with early demux disabled, because it will same code path. Once skb_dst(skb)->dev is a little better under control I think it will also be possible to use rcu to cleanup the ancient hack that sets dst->dev to loopback_dev when a network device is removed. The work to get there is a series of code cleanups. I am starting with passing net into the netfilter hooks and into the functions that are called after the netfilter hooks. This removes from netfilter the need to guess which network namespace it is working on. To get there I perform a series of minor prep patches so the big changes at the end are possible to audit without getting lost in the noise. In particular I have a lot of patches computing net into a local variable and then using it through out the function. So this patchset encompases removing dead code, sorting out the _sk functions that were added last time someone pushed a prototype change through the post netfilter functions. Cleaning up individual functions use of the network namespace. Passing net into the netfilter hooks. Passing net into the post netfilter functions. Using state->net in the netfilter code where it is available and trivially usable. Pablo, Dave I don't know whose tree this makes more sense to go through. I am assuming at least initially Pablos as netfilter is involved. From what I have seen there will be a lot of back and forth between the netfilter code paths and the routing code paths.

This is immediately motivated by the bridge code that chains functions that call into netfilter. Without passing net into the okfns the bridge code would need to guess about the best expression for the network namespace to process packets in. As net is frequently one of the first things computed in continuation functions after netfilter has done it's job passing in the desired network namespace is in many cases a code simplification. To support this change the function dst_output_okfn is introduced to simplify passing dst_output as an okfn. For the moment dst_output_okfn just silently drops the struct net. Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

Pass a network namespace parameter into the netfilter hooks. At the call site of the netfilter hooks the path a packet is taking through the network stack is well known which allows the network namespace to be easily and reliabily. This allows the replacement of magic code like "dev_net(state->in?:state->out)" that appears at the start of most netfilter hooks with "state->net". In almost all cases the network namespace passed in is derived from the first network device passed in, guaranteeing those paths will not see any changes in practice. The exceptions are: xfrm/xfrm_output.c:xfrm_output_resume() xs_net(skb_dst(skb)->xfrm) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_nat_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipvs/ip_vs_xmit.c:ip_vs_send_or_cont() ip_vs_conn_net(cp) ipv4/raw.c:raw_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ip6_output.c:ip6_xmit() sock_net(sk) ipv6/ndisc.c:ndisc_send_skb() dev_net(skb->dev) not dev_net(dst->dev) ipv6/raw.c:raw6_send_hdrinc() sock_net(sk) br_netfilter_hooks.c:br_nf_pre_routing_finish() dev_net(skb->dev) before skb->dev is set to nf_bridge->physindev In all cases these exceptions seem to be a better expression for the network namespace the packet is being processed in then the historic "dev_net(in?in:out)".

Keep net in a local variable so I can use it in NF_HOOK_COND when I pass struct net to all of the netfilter hooks. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

A function with weird arguments that it will never use to accomdate a netfilter callback prototype is absolutely in the core of the networking stack. Frankly it does not make sense and it causes a lot of confusion as to why arguments that are never used are being passed to the function. As I am preparing to make a second change to arguments to the okfn even the names stops making sense. As I have removed the two callers of this function remove this confusion from the networking stack. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xmission.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The function dev_queue_xmit_skb_sk is unncessary and very confusing. Introduce br_send_bpdu_finish to remove the need for dev_queue_xmit_skb_sk, and have br_send_bpdu_finish call dev_queue_xmit.
