This change replaces the network device operations for adding or removing a VXLAN port with operations that are more generically defined to be used for any UDP offload port but provide a type. As such by just adding a line to verify that the offload type is VXLAN we can maintain the same functionality. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch goes through and combines the notifiers for VXLAN and GENEVE into a single function for each action. So there is now one combined function for getting ports, one for adding the ports, and one for deleting the ports. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

In addition I updated the socket address family check so that instead of excluding IPv6 we instead abort of type is not IPv4. This makes much more sense as we should only be supporting IPv4 outer addresses on this hardware. Signed-off-by: Alexander Duyck <aduyck@mirantis.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The last change is that I pulled the rtnl_lock/unlock into the conditional statement for IXGBE_FLAG2_VXLAN_REREG_NEEDED. The motivation behind this is to avoid unneeded bouncing of the mutex which will just slow down the handling of this call anyway.

The port number for GENEVE is hard coded into the bnxt driver. This is the kind of thing we want to avoid going forward. For now I will integrate this back into the port notifier so that we can change the GENEVE port number if we need to in the future.

This patch ends up doing several things. First it updates the driver to make use of the new unified UDP tunnel offload notifier functions. In addition I updated the code so that we can work around the bits that were checking for if VXLAN was enabled since we are now using a notifier based setup.

This patch merges the notifiers for VXLAN and GENEVE into a single UDP tunnel notifier. The idea is that we will want to only have to make one notifier call to receive the list of ports for VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels that need to be offloaded. In addition we add a new set of ndo functions named ndo_udp_tunnel_add and ndo_udp_tunnel_del that are meant to allow us to track the tunnel meta-data such as port and address family as tunnels are added and removed. The tunnel meta-data is now transported in a structure named udp_tunnel_info which for now carries the type, address family, and port number. In the future this could be updated so that we can include a tuple of values including things such as the destination IP address and other fields. I also ended up going with a naming scheme that consisted of using the prefix udp_tunnel on function names. I applied this to the notifier and ndo ops as well so that it hopefully points to the fact that these are primarily used in the udp_tunnel functions.

This patch makes it so that we add udp_tunnel.h to vxlan.h and geneve.h header files. This is useful as I plan to move the generic handlers for the port offloads into the udp_tunnel header file and leave the vxlan and geneve headers to be a bit more protocol specific. I also went through and cleaned out a number of redundant includes that where in the .h and .c files for these drivers.

When we check for RTM_DELTFILTER, we should also reject the request for deleting all filters under a given parent when TCA_KIND attribute is present. If present, it's currently just ignored but there's also no point to let it pass in the first place either since this doesn't have any meaning with wild-card removal.

Shrikrishna Khare says: ==================== vmxnet3: upgrade to version 3 vmxnet3 emulation has recently added several new features which includes support for new commands the driver can issue to emulation, change in descriptor fields etc. This patch series extends the vmxnet3 driver to leverage these new features. Compatibility is maintained using existing vmxnet3 versioning mechanism as follows: - new features added to vmxnet3 emulation are associated with new vmxnet3 version viz. vmxnet3 version 3. - emulation advertises all the versions it supports to the driver. - during initialization, vmxnet3 driver picks the highest version number supported by both the emulation and the driver and configures emulation to run at that version. In particular, following changes are introduced: Patch 1: Some command definitions from previous vmxnet3 versions are missing. This patch adds those definitions before moving to vmxnet3 version 3. It also fixes copyright info and maintained by. Patch 2: This patch introduces generalized command interface which allows for easily adding new commands that vmxnet3 driver can issue to the emulation. Further patches in this series make use of this facility. Patch 3: Transmit data ring buffer is used to copy packet headers or small packets. It is a fixed size buffer. This patch extends the driver to allow variable sized transmit data ring buffer. Patch 4: This patch introduces receive data ring buffer - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. This avoids memory mapping/unmapping overhead for small packets. Patch 5: The vmxnet3 emulation supports a variety of coalescing modes. This patch extends vmxnet3 driver to allow querying and configuring these modes. Patch 6: In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use for rx/tx buffers. This patch exposes related commands to the driver. Patch 7: With all vmxnet3 version 3 changes incorporated in the vmxnet3 driver, with this patch, the driver can configure emulation to run at vmxnet3 version 3. Changes in v2: - v1 patch used special values of rx-usecs to differentiate between coalescing modes. v2 uses relevant fields in struct ethtool_coalesce to choose modes. Also, a new command VMXNET3_CMD_GET_COALESCE is introduced which allows driver to query the device for default coalescing configuration. Changes in v3: - fix subject line to use vmxnet3: instead of Driver:Vmxnet3 - resubmit when net-next is open Changes in v4: - Address code review comments by Ben Hutchings: remove unnecessary memset from vmxnet3_get_coalesce. Changes in v5: - Updated all the patches to add detailed commit messages. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use for rx/tx buffers. The driver can also indicate which rx/tx queue the memory region is applicable for. If this information is communicated to the emulation, the emulation will always keep these memory regions mapped, thereby avoiding the mapping/unmapping overhead for every packet. Currently, Linux vmxnet3 driver does not leverage this capability. The feasibility of using this approach for the Linux vmxnet3 driver will be investigated independently and if possible, will be part of a different patch. This patch only exposes the emulation capability to the driver (vmxnet3_defs.h is identical between the driver and the emulation).

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it. To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used. Receive Data Ring buffer length is configurable via ethtool -G ethX rx-mini Signed-off-by: Shrikrishna Khare <skhare@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

vmxnet3 driver supports transmit data ring viz. a set of fixed size buffers used by the driver to copy packet headers. Small packets that fit these buffers are copied into these buffers entirely. Currently this buffer size of fixed at 128 bytes. This patch extends transmit data ring implementation to allow variable length transmit data ring buffers. The length of the buffer is read from the emulation during initialization.

Shared memory is used to exchange information between the vmxnet3 driver and the emulation. In order to request emulation to perform a task, the driver first populates specific fields in this shared memory and then issues corresponding command by writing to the command register(CMD). The layout of the shared memory was defined by vmxnet3 version 1 and cannot be extended for every new command without breaking backward compatibility. To address this problem, in vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation repurposed a reserved field in the shared memory to represent command information instead. For new commands, the driver first populates the command information field in the shared memory and then issues the command. The emulation interprets the data written to the command information depending on the type of the command. This patch exposes this capability to the driver.

On HiperSockets only outbound queues 0 to 2 are available for unicast packets. Current Priority Queuing implementation in the qeth driver puts outgoing packets in outbound queues 0 to 3. This puts outgoing unicast packets into outbound queue 2 instead of outbound queue 3 when using Priority Queuing on a HiperSocket. Additionally, the default outbound queue cannot be set to outbound queue 3 on HiperSockets.

The function set_features is called to configure network device features on the hardware. If errors occur, the network device features should reflect the changed hardware state and the function should return an error in order to notify the user. In case of an error, the current implementation does not necessarily save the changed hardware state in the network device features before an error is returned. This patch improves error handling by saving features, that could be changed, to the network device features before returning an error. If the device is not running, an additional check in fix_features removes features, that require hardware changes, before they are passed to set_features. Thus, the corresponding check was removed in set_features. Signed-off-by: Hans Wippel <hwippel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Ursula Braun <ubraun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Network device features indicate the capabilities of network devices (e.g., TX checksum offloading and TSO) and their configuration state. Additional network device features (vlan_features) indicate for each network device, which capabilities can be used on VLAN devices, that are configured on the respective base network device. In the current qeth implementation, network device features are only set for the base network devices and not for the VLAN devices. Thus, features like TX checksum offloading cannot be used on VLAN devices. This patch adds network device features to vlan_features, so they can be used by VLAN devices.

In layer3 mode of the qeth driver, multicast IP addresses from struct net_device and other type of IP addresses from other sources require mapping to the OSA-card. This patch simplifies the IP address mapping logic, and changes imple- mentation of ndo_set_rx_mode callback and ip notifier events. Addresses are stored in private hashtables instead of lists now.
