Paolo Abeni says: ==================== net: unify dst caching for tunnel devices This patch series try to unify the dst cache implementations currently present in the kernel, namely in ip_tunnel.c and ip6_tunnel.c, introducing a new generic implementation, replacing the existing ones, and then using the new implementation in other tunnel devices which currently lack it. The new dst implementation is compiled, as built-in, only if any device using it is enabled. Caching the dst for the tunnel remote address gives small, but measurable, performance improvement when tunneling over ipv4 (in the 2%-4% range) and significant ones when tunneling over ipv6 (roughly 60% when no fragmentation/segmentation take place and the tunnel local address is not specified). v2: - move the vxlan dst_cache usage inside the device lookup functions - fix usage after free for lwt tunnel moving the dst cache storage inside the dst_metadata, - sparse codying style cleanup ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch add a generic, lockless dst cache implementation. The need for lock is avoided updating the dst cache fields only in per cpu scope, and requiring that the cache manipulation functions are invoked with the local bh disabled. The refresh_ts and reset_ts fields are used to ensure the cache consistency in case of cuncurrent cache update (dst_cache_set*) and reset operation (dst_cache_reset). Consider the following scenario: CPU1: CPU2: <cache lookup with emtpy cache: it fails> <get dst via uncached route lookup> <related configuration changes> dst_cache_reset() dst_cache_set() The dst entry set passed to dst_cache_set() should not be used for later dst cache lookup, because it's obtained using old configuration values. Since the refresh_ts is updated only on dst_cache lookup, the cached value in the above scenario will be discarded on the next lookup.

There are several scenarios where taking a register dump from a device might log benign GRC timeout attentions to system logs. Most common of those is when taking the dump from a 2-port device. Sadly, there's no easy way to mask the problematic attentions during the flow - Changing this behvaior would require a firmware update. For now, simply warn users to ignore the warnings.

Driver is currently looking at shared information for determining whether DCBx can be supported for a given port. On 4-port devices, up-to-date management firmware can support DCBx on each port of a given engine independently - but that would cause bnx2x to misinterpert the support and assume DCBx is supported on both.

This change has been made with the goal that kernel functions should return something more descriptive than -1 on failure. A variable `err` has been introduced for storing error codes. The return value of kzalloc on failure should return a -1 and not a -ENOMEM. This was found using Coccinelle. A simplified version of the semantic patch used is: //<smpl> @@ expression *e; identifier l1; @@ e = kzalloc(...); if (e == NULL) { ... goto l1; } l1: ... return -1 + -ENOMEM ; //</smpl Furthermore, set `err` to -ENOMEM on failure of alloc_netdev(), and to -ENODEV on failure of register_netdev() and probe_irq_off(). The single call site only checks that the return value is not 0, hence no change is required at the call site. Signed-off-by: Amitoj Kaur Chawla <amitoj1606@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-02-15 This series contains updates to igb only. Shota Suzuki cleans up unnecessary flag setting for 82576 in igb_set_flag_queue_pairs() since the default block already sets IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS to the correct value anyways, so the e1000_82576 code block is not necessary and we can simply fall through. Then fixes an issue where IGB_FLAG_QUEUE_PAIRS can now be set by using "ethtool -L" option but is never cleared unless the driver is reloaded, so clear the queue pairing if the pairing becomes unnecessary as a result of "ethtool -L". Mitch fixes the igbvf from giving up if it fails to get the hardware mailbox lock. This can happen when the PF-VF communication channel is heavily loaded and causes complete communications failure between the PF and VF drivers, so add a counter and a delay so that the driver will now retry ten times before giving up on getting the mailbox lock. The remaining patches in the series are from Alex Duyck, starting with the cleaning up code that sets the MAC address. Then refactors the VFTA and VLVF configuration, to simplify and update to similar setups in the ixgbe driver. Fixed an issue were VLANs headers size was being added to the value programmed into the RLPML registers, yet these registers already take into account the size of the VLAN headers when determining the maximum packet length, so we can drop the code that adds the size to the RLPML registers. Cleaned up the configuration of the VF port based VLAN configuration. Also fixed the igb driver so that we can fully support SR-IOV or the recently added NTUPLE filtering while allowing support for VLAN promiscuous mode. Also added the ability to use the bridge utility to add a FDB entry for the PF to an igb port. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jacob Keller says: ==================== ethtool: correct {GS}CHANNELS and {GS}RXFH conflict This patch series fixes up ethtool_set_channels operation which allowed modifying the RXFH table indirectly by reducing the number of queues below the current max queue used by the Rx flow table. Most drivers incorrectly allowed this to destroy the Rx flow table and would then start by reinitializing it to default settings. However, drivers are not able to correctly handle the conflict since there was no way to differentiate between the default settings and the user requested explicit settings. To fix this, implement a new netdev private flag which we use to indicate whether the RXFH has been user configured. If someone has a better alternative of how to store this information, let me know. I am not sure that priv_flags is the best solution but I have not had any better idea. Secondly, we add a function which just calls the driver's get_rxfh callback to determine the current indirection table. Loop through this and we can determine the current highest queue that will be used by RSS. Now, modify ethtool_set_channels to add a check ensuring that if (a) we have had rxfh configured by user, (b) we can get the maximum RSS queue currently used, then we ensure that the newly requested Rx count (or combined count) is at least as high as this maximum RSS queue. The reasoning here is that we can always safely increase the number of queues. If we decrease the queues we must ensure that the decrease does not go lower than the highest in-use queue for the Rx flow table. Drivers may still need to be patched if they currently overwrite the Rx flow table during channel configuration. If the driver currently always resets Rx flow table when increasing number of queues it must be patched to only do this when netif_is_rxfh_configured returns false. The second patch simply adds a check to ensure that all provided channel counts fit within driver defined maximums. The third patch fixes fm10k to correctly reconfigure the RSS reta table whenever it is still unconfigured. This means that the default state will provide RSS to every queue. Once the user has configured RXFH, then we should maintain it. In addition, since the case where we must reconfigure the RSS table in this case should now no longer occur, add a dev_err message to indicate the user that we did so. I have also supplied an ethtool patch to enable setting the default Rx flow indirection table. Without this, current ethtool does not support sending an indir_size of 0, and thus does not correctly support configuring back to the default. Changes in v2: * fixed compile error * fixed incorrect comparison with max_rx_in_use * adjusted looping over dev_size * removed inline on function * dropped patch about separating combined vs asymmetric channels * verified behavior using fm10k driver ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Keller, Jacob E authored
Ethernet drivers implementing both {GS}RXFH and {GS}CHANNELS ethtool ops incorrectly allow SCHANNELS when it would conflict with the settings from SRXFH. This occurs because it is not possible for drivers to understand whether their Rx flow indirection table has been configured or is in the default state. In addition, drivers currently behave in various ways when increasing the number of Rx channels. Some drivers will always destroy the Rx flow indirection table when this occurs, whether it has been set by the user or not. Other drivers will attempt to preserve the table even if the user has never modified it from the default driver settings. Neither of these situation is desirable because it leads to unexpected behavior or loss of user configuration. The correct behavior is to simply return -EINVAL when SCHANNELS would conflict with the current Rx flow table settings. However, it should only do so if the current settings were modified by the user. If we required that the new settings never conflict with the current (default) Rx flow settings, we would force users to first reduce their Rx flow settings and then reduce the number of Rx channels. This patch proposes a solution implemented in net/core/ethtool.c which ensures that all drivers behave correctly. It checks whether the RXFH table has been configured to non-default settings, and stores this information in a private netdev flag. When the number of channels is requested to change, it first ensures that the current Rx flow table is not going to assign flows to now disabled channels.

There was a workaround partially implemented for the 82576 that is needed in order for VLAN tag stripping to function correctly. The original code had side effects that would make it so the workaround was active on all MACs. I have updated the code so that the workaround is enabled, but limited to the 82576, or activated if we exceed the available unicast addresses. The workaround has a side effect of mirroring all of the traffic outgoing from the VFs back to the PF. As such it is not recommended to use the 82576 in promiscuous mode as it will take a performance hit, though this is now consistent with the performance as seen on the out-of-tree igb driver. I also limited the scope of the UTA bits all being set to only when the VMOLR register is enabled. This should limit the effects of the UTA register so that we don't pick up any excess traffic unless promiscuous mode has been enabled on the PF, whereas before the PF would have ended up in something equivalent to unicast promiscuous mode with VLAN filtering otherwise.

This change makes it so that we can use the bridge utility to add a FDB entry for the PF to an igb port. By doing this we can enable the VFs to talk to virtual ports residing on top of the PF. In addition this should also address issues with MACVLANs trying to reside on top of the PF as well as they would have had similar issues when added to the PF with SR-IOV enabled.

This patch is meant to clean-up the configuration of the VF port based VLAN configuration. The original logic was a bit muddled and had some undesirable side effects such as VLANs being either completely stripped from the port or VLANs being left when they shouldn't be. The idea behind this code is to avoid any events such as spurious spoof notifications when we are removing one VLAN tag and replacing it with another.

The only changes needed due to MTU changes are updates for the FIFO sizes and flow-control watermarks.
