Alex Elder says: ==================== net: ipa: wake up system on RX available This series arranges for the IPA driver to wake up a suspended system if the IPA hardware has a packet to deliver to the AP. Version 2 replaced the first patch from version 1 with three patches, in response to David Miller's feedback. And based on Bjorn Andersson's feedback on version 2, this version reworks the tracking of IPA clock references. As a result, we no longer need a flag to determine whether a "don't' suspend" clock reference is held (though an bit in a bitmask is still used for a different purpose). In summary: - A refcount_t is used to track IPA clock references where an atomic_t was previously used. (This may go away soon as well, with upcoming work to implement runtime PM.) - We no longer track whether a special reference has been taken to avoid suspending IPA. - A bit in a bitmask is used to ensure we only trigger a system resume once per system suspend. And from the original series: - Suspending endpoints only occurs when suspending the driver, not when dropping the last clock reference. Resuming endpoints is also disconnected from starting the clock. - The IPA SUSPEND interrupt is now a wakeup interrupt. If it fires, it schedules a system resume operation. - The GSI interrupt is no longer a wakeup interrupt. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The previous patch causes a system resume to be triggered when a packet is available for receipt on a suspended RX endpoint. The CLOCK_HELD flag was previously used to indicate that an extra clock reference was held, preventing suspend. But we no longer need such a flag: - We take an initial reference in ipa_config(). - That reference is held until ipa_suspend() releases it. - A subsequent system resume leads to a reference getting re-acquired in ipa_resume(). - This can repeat until ultimately the module is removed, where ipa_remove() releases the reference. We no longer need a special flag to determine whether this extra reference is held--it is, provided probe has completed successfully and the driver is not suspended (or removed). On the other hand, once suspended, it's possible for more than one endpoint to trip the IPA SUSPEND interrupt, and we only want to trigger the system resume once. So repurpose the Boolean CLOCK_HELD flag to record whether the IPA SUSPEND handler should initiate a system resume. The flag will be be cleared each time ipa_suspend() is called, *before* any endpoints are suspended. And it will be set inside the IPA SUSPEND interrupt handler exactly once per suspend. Rename the flag IPA_FLAG_RESUMED to reflect its new purpose. Signed-off-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

The call to wakeup_source_register() in ipa_probe() does not do what it was intended to do. Call device_init_wakeup() in ipa_setup() instead, to set the IPA device as wakeup-capable and to initially enable wakeup capability. When we receive a SUSPEND interrupt, call pm_wakeup_dev_event() with a zero processing time, to simply call for a resume without any other processing. The ipa_resume() call will take care of waking things up again, and will handle receiving the packet. Note that this gets rid of a clock reference counting bug that occurred when handling an IPA SUSPEND interrupt. Specifically, ipa_suspend_handler() took an IPA clock reference *in addition* to the one taken by ipa_resume(). There is no need to back-port this fix however, because it only affects code that was not previously working (this patch is part of fixing that).

Currently, when (before) the last IPA clock reference is dropped, all endpoints are suspended. And whenever the first IPA clock reference is taken, all endpoints are resumed (or started). In most cases there's no need to start endpoints when the clock starts. So move the calls to ipa_endpoint_suspend() and ipa_endpoint_resume() out of ipa_clock_put() and ipa_clock_get(), respectiely. Instead, only suspend endpoints when handling a system suspend, and only resume endpoints when handling a system resume.

We take a clock reference in ipa_config() in order to prevent the the IPA clock from being shutdown until a power management suspend request arrives. An atomic field in the IPA structure records whether that extra reference had been taken. Rather than using an atomic to represent a Boolean value, define a new flags bitmap, and define a "clock held" flag to represent whether the extra clock reference has been taken.

Take advantage of the checking provided by refcount_t, rather than using a plain atomic to represent the IPA clock reference count. Note that we need to *set* the value to 1 in ipa_clock_get() rather than incrementing it from 0 (because doing that is considered an error for a refcount_t).

Because the PHY driver can be probed with the clocks turned off we need to apply the dummy BMSR workaround during the driver probe function to ensure subsequent MDIO read or write towards the PHY will succeed.

Yangbo Lu says: ==================== dpaa2_eth: support 1588 one-step timestamping This patch-set is to add MC APIs of 1588 one-step timestamping, and support one-step timestamping for PTP Sync packet on DPAA2. Before egress, one-step timestamping enablement needs, - Enabling timestamp and FAS (Frame Annotation Status) in dpni buffer layout. - Write timestamp to frame annotation and set PTP bit in FAS to mark as one-step timestamping event. - Enabling one-step timestamping by dpni_set_single_step_cfg() API, with offset provided to insert correction time on frame. The offset must respect all MAC headers, VLAN tags and other protocol headers accordingly. The correction field update can consider delays up to one second. So PTP frame needs to be filtered and parsed, and written timestamp into Sync frame originTimestamp field. The operation of API dpni_set_single_step_cfg() has to be done when no one-step timestamping frames are in flight. So we have to make sure the last one-step timestamping frame has already been transmitted on hardware before starting to send the current one. The resolution is, - Utilize skb->cb[0] to mark timestamping request per packet. If it is one-step timestamping PTP sync packet, queue to skb queue. If not, transmit immediately. - Schedule a work to transmit skbs in skb queue. - mutex lock is used to ensure the last one-step timestamping packet has already been transmitted on hardware through TX confirmation queue before transmitting current packet. Changes for v2: - Removed unused variable priv in dpaa2_eth_xdp_create_fd(). Changes for v3: - Fixed sparse warnings. - Fix build issue on 32-bit. - Converted to use ptp_parse_header. Changes for v4: - Used WARN_ONCE instead of netdev_err in data path. - Enabled timestamping only when PTP driver is ready. - Added comments in using onestep_tstamp_lock. - Dropped dpmac.c sparse warning fix-up patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch is a preparation for next hardware one-step timestamping support. For DPAA2, the one step timestamping configuration on hardware registers has to be done when there is no one-step timestamping packet in flight. So we will have to use workqueue and skb queue for such packets transmitting, to make sure waiting the last packet has already been sent on hardware, and starting to transmit the current one. So the tx timestamping flag in private data may not reflect the actual request for the one-step timestamping packets of skb queue. This also affects skb headroom allocation. Let's use skb->cb[0] to mark the timestamping request for each skb. Signed-off-by: Yangbo Lu <yangbo.lu@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Define a global ptp_qoriq structure pointer, and export to use. The ptp clock operations will be used in dpaa2-eth driver. For example, supporting one step timestamping needs to write current time to hardware frame annotation before sending and then hardware inserts the delay time on frame during sending. So in driver, at least clock gettime operation will be needed to make sure right time is written to hardware frame annotation for one step timestamping.

However, this variable gets defined only when CONFIG_SYSCTL option is selected. With this change the behavior would default to creating fall-back tunnels in all namespaces when CONFIG_SYSCTL is not selected and the kernel commandline option will be ignored.

A master key can be set/changed by user via netlink (eg. using the same 'tipc node set key' command in iproute2/tipc). - Patch 3 ("tipc: add automatic session key exchange") allows a session key to be securely exchanged between nodes as needed. - Patch 4 ("tipc: add automatic rekeying for encryption key") adds automatic 'rekeying' of session keys a specific interval. The new key will be distributed automatically to peer nodes, so become active then. The rekeying interval is configurable via netlink as well. v2: update the "tipc: add automatic session key exchange" patch to fix "implicit declaration" issue when built without "CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO". v3: update the patches according to David comments by using the "genl_info->extack" for messages in response to netlink user config requests. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Rekeying is required for security since a key is less secure when using for a long time. Also, key will be detached when its nonce value (or seqno ...) is exhausted. We now make the rekeying process automatic and configurable by user. Basically, TIPC will at a specific interval generate a new key by using the kernel 'Random Number Generator' cipher, then attach it as the node TX key and securely distribute to others in the cluster as RX keys (- the key exchange). The automatic key switching will then take over, and make the new key active shortly. Afterwards, the traffic from this node will be encrypted with the new session key. The same can happen in peer nodes but not necessarily at the same time. For simplicity, the automatically generated key will be initiated as a per node key. It is not too hard to also support a cluster key rekeying (e.g. a given node will generate a unique cluster key and update to the others in the cluster...), but that doesn't bring much benefit, while a per-node key is even more secure. We also enable user to force a rekeying or change the rekeying interval via netlink, the new 'set key' command option: 'TIPC_NLA_NODE_REKEYING' is added for these purposes as follows: - A value >= 1 will be set as the rekeying interval (in minutes); - A value of 0 will disable the rekeying; - A value of 'TIPC_REKEYING_NOW' (~0) will force an immediate rekeying; The default rekeying interval is (60 * 24) minutes i.e. done every day. There isn't any restriction for the value but user shouldn't set it too small or too large which results in an "ineffective" rekeying (thats ok for testing though).

With support from the master key option in the previous commit, it becomes easy to make frequent updates/exchanges of session keys between authenticated cluster nodes. Basically, there are two situations where the key exchange will take in place: - When a new node joins the cluster (with the master key), it will need to get its peer's TX key, so that be able to decrypt further messages from that peer. - When a new session key is generated (by either user manual setting or later automatic rekeying feature), the key will be distributed to all peer nodes in the cluster. A key to be exchanged is encapsulated in the data part of a 'MSG_CRYPTO /KEY_DISTR_MSG' TIPC v2 message, then xmit-ed as usual and encrypted by using the master key before sending out. Upon receipt of the message it will be decrypted in the same way as regular messages, then attached as the sender's RX key in the receiver node. In this way, the key exchange is reliable by the link layer, as well as security, integrity and authenticity by the crypto layer. Also, the forward security will be easily achieved by user changing the master key actively but this should not be required very frequently. The key exchange feature is independent on the presence of a master key Note however that the master key still is needed for new nodes to be able to join the cluster. It is also optional, and can be turned off/on via the sysfs: 'net/tipc/key_exchange_enabled' [default 1: enabled]. Backward compatibility is guaranteed because for nodes that do not have master key support, key exchange using master key ie. tx_key = 0 if any will be shortly discarded at the message validation step. In other words, the key exchange feature will be automatically disabled to those nodes. v2: fix the "implicit declaration of function 'tipc_crypto_key_flush'" error in node.c. The function only exists when built with the TIPC "CONFIG_TIPC_CRYPTO" option. v3: use 'info->extack' for a message emitted due to netlink operations instead (- David's comment).
