Add a helper to change the owner of sysfs objects. This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces. This mirrors how a kobject is added through driver core which in its guts is done via kobject_add_internal() which in summary creates the main directory via create_dir(), populates that directory with the groups associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any) and populates the directory with the basic attributes associated with the ktype of the kobject (if any). These are the basic steps that are associated with adding a kobject in sysfs. Any additional properties are added by the specific subsystem itself (not by driver core) after it has registered the device. So for the example of network devices, a network device will e.g. register a queue subdirectory under the basic sysfs directory for the network device and than further subdirectories within that queues subdirectory. But that is all specific to network devices and they call the corresponding sysfs functions to do that directly when they create those queue objects. So anything that a subsystem adds outside of what driver core does must also be changed by it (That's already true for removal of files it created outside of driver core.) and it's the same for ownership changes.

The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo array[]; }; By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on. Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied.

Looks like the iavf code actually experienced a race condition, when a developer took code before the check for chain 0 was put to helper. So use tc_cls_can_offload_and_chain0() helper instead of direct check and move the check to _cb() so this is similar to i40e code.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== mlxsw: Implement ACL-dropped packets identification mlxsw hardware allows to insert a ACL-drop action with a value defined by user that would be later on passed with a dropped packet. To implement this, use the existing TC action cookie and pass it to the driver. As the cookie format coming down from TC and the mlxsw HW cookie format is different, do the mapping of these two using idr and rhashtable. The cookie is passed up from the HW through devlink_trap_report() to drop_monitor code. A new metadata type is used for that. Example: $ tc qdisc add dev enp0s16np1 clsact $ tc filter add dev enp0s16np1 ingress protocol ip pref 10 flower skip_sw dst_ip 192.168.1.2 action drop cookie 3b45fa38c8 ^^^^^^^^^^ $ devlink trap set pci/0000:00:10.0 trap acl action trap $ dropwatch Initializing null lookup method dropwatch> set hw true setting hardware drops monitoring to 1 dropwatch> set alertmode packet Setting alert mode Alert mode successfully set dropwatch> start Enabling monitoring... Kernel monitoring activated. Issue Ctrl-C to stop monitoring drop at: ingress_flow_action_drop (acl_drops) origin: hardware input port ifindex: 30 input port name: enp0s16np1 cookie: 3b45fa38c8 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< timestamp: Fri Jan 24 17:10:53 2020 715387671 nsec protocol: 0x800 length: 98 original length: 98 This way the user may insert multiple drop rules and monitor the dropped packets with the information of which action caused the drop. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeremy Linton says: ==================== Add ACPI bindings to the genet This patch series allows the BCM GENET, as used on the RPi4, to attach when booted in an ACPI environment. The DSDT entry to trigger this is seen below. Of note, the first patch adds a small extension to the mdio layer which allows drivers to find the mii_bus without firmware assistance. The fifth patch in the set retrieves the MAC address from the umac registers rather than carrying it directly in the DSDT. This of course requires the firmware to pre-program it, so we continue to fall back on a random one if it appears to be garbage. v1 -> v2: fail on missing phy-mode property replace phy-mode internal property read string with device_get_phy_mode() equivalent rework mac address detection logic so that it merges the acpi/DT case into device_get_mac_address() allowing _DSD mac address properties. some commit messages justifying why phy_find_first() isn't the worst choice for this driver. + Device (ETH0) + { + Name (_HID, "BCM6E4E") + Name (_UID, 0) + Name (_CCA, 0x0) + Method (_STA) + { + Return (0xf) + } + Method (_CRS, 0x0, Serialized) + { + Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate () + { + Memory32Fixed (ReadWrite, 0xFd580000, 0x10000, ) + Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive) { 0xBD } + Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive) { 0xBE } + }) + Return (RBUF) + } + Name (_DSD, Package () { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "phy-mode", "rgmii-rxid" }, + } + }) + } ==================== Tested-by: Florian Fainelli <f.fainelli@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

If one types "failed to get enet clock" or similar into google there are ~370k hits. The vast majority are people debugging problems unrelated to this adapter, or bragging about their rpi's. Further, the DT clock bindings here are optional. Given that its not a fatal situation with common DT based systems, lets reduce the severity so people aren't seeing failure messages in everyday operation.

ARM/ACPI machines should utilize self describing hardware when possible. The MAC address on the BCMGENET can be read from the adapter if a full featured firmware has already programmed it. Lets try using the address already programmed, if it appears to be valid. It should be noted that while we move the macaddr logic below the clock and power logic in the driver, none of that code will ever be active in an ACPI environment as the device will be attached to the acpi power domain, and brought to full power with all clocks enabled immediately before the device probe routine is called. One side effect of the above tweak is that while its now possible to read the MAC address via _DSD properties, it should be avoided.

The rpi4 is capable of booting in ACPI mode with the latest edk2-platform commits. As such it would be helpful if the genet platform device were usable. To achieve this we add a new MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, and convert a few dt specific methods to their generic device_ calls. Until the next patch, ACPI based machines will fallback on random mac addresses.

The unimac mdio driver falls back to scanning the entire bus if its given an appropriate mask. In ACPI mode we expect that the system is well behaved and conforms to recent versions of the specification. We then utilize phy_find_first(), and phy_connect_direct() to find and attach to the discovered phy during net_device open. While its apparently possible to build a genet based device with multiple phys on a single mdio bus, this works for current machines. Further, this driver makes a number of assumptions about the platform device, mac, mdio and phy all being 1:1. Lastly, It also avoids having to create references across the ACPI namespace hierarchy.

Jeremy Linton authored
It appears most ethernet drivers follow one of two main strategies for mdio bus/phy management. A monolithic model where the net driver itself creates, probes and uses the phy, and one where an external mdio/phy driver instantiates the mdio bus/phy and the net driver only attaches to a known phy. Usually in this latter model the phys are discovered via DT relationships or simply phy name/address hardcoding. This is a shame because modern well behaved mdio buses are self describing and can be probed. The mdio layer itself is fully capable of this, yet there isn't a clean way for a standalone net driver to attach and enumerate the discovered devices. This is because outside of of_mdio_find_bus() there isn't a straightforward way to acquire the mii_bus pointer. So, lets add a mdio_find_bus which can return the mii_bus based only on its name.
