Salil Mehta says: ==================== net: hns3: Add more commands to Debugfs in HNS3 driver This patch-set adds few more debugfs commands to HNS3 Ethernet Driver. Support has been added to query info related to below items: 1. Packet buffer descriptor ("echo bd info [queue no] [bd index] > cmd") 2. Manager table("echo dump mng tbl > cmd") 3. Dfx status register("echo dump reg ssu [prt id] > cmd") 4. Dcb status register("echo dump reg dcb [port id] > cmd") 5. Queue map ("echo queue map [queue no] > cmd") 6. Tm map ("echo tm map [queue no] > cmd") NOTE: Above commands are *read-only* and are only intended to query the information from the SoC(and dump inside the kernel, for now) and in no way tries to perform write operations for the purpose of configuration etc. Change Log: V1-->V2: 1. Addressed the GCC-8.2 compiler issue reported by David S. Miller. Link: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/12/14/1298 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Peter Oskolkov says: ==================== net: prefer listeners bound to an address A relatively common use case is to have several IPs configured on a host, and have different listeners for each of them. We would like to add a "catch all" listener on addr_any, to match incoming connections not served by any of the listeners bound to a specific address. However, port-only lookups can match addr_any sockets when sockets listening on specific addresses are present if so_reuseport flag is set. This patchset eliminates lookups into port-only hashtable, as lookups by (addr,port) tuple are easily available. In a future patchset I plan to explore whether it is possible to remove port-only hashtables completely: additional refactoring will be required, as some non-lookup code uses the hashtables. ==================== Reviewed-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

David Ahern says: ==================== neighbor: More gc_list changes More gc_list changes and cleanups. The first 2 patches are bug fixes from the first gc_list change. Specifically, fix the locking order to be consistent - table lock followed by neighbor lock, and then entries in the FAILED state should always be candidates for forced_gc without waiting for any time span (return to the eviction logic prior to the separate gc_list). Patch 3 removes 2 now unnecessary arguments to neigh_del. Patch 4 moves a helper from a header file to core code in preparation for Patch 5 which removes NTF_EXT_LEARNED entries from the gc_list. These entries are already exempt from forced_gc; patch 5 removes them from consideration and makes them on par with PERMANENT entries given that they are also managed by userspace. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Externally learned entries are similar to PERMANENT entries in the sense they are managed by userspace and can not be garbage collected. As such remove them from the gc_list, remove the flags check from neigh_forced_gc and skip threshold checks in neigh_alloc.

Petr Machata says: ==================== Introduce NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR Spectrum devices have a limitation that all router interfaces need to have the same address prefix. In Spectrum-1, the requirement is for the initial 38 bits of all RIFs to be the same, in Spectrum-2 the limit is 36 bits. Currently violations of this requirement are not diagnosed. At the same time, if the condition is not upheld, the mismatched MAC address ends up overwriting the common prefix, and all RIF MAC addresses silently change to the new prefix. It is therefore desirable to be able at least to diagnose the issue, and better to reject attempts to change MAC addresses in ways that is incompatible with the device. Currently MAC address changes are notified through emission of NETDEV_CHANGEADDR, which is done after the change. Extending this message to allow vetoing is certainly possible, but several other notification types have instead adopted a simple two-stage approach: first a "pre" notification is sent to make sure all interested parties are OK with the change that's about to be done. Then the change is done, and afterwards a "post" notification is sent. This dual approach is easier to use: when the change is vetoed, nothing has changed yet, and it's therefore unnecessary to roll anything back. Therefore this patchset introduces it for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR as well. One prominent path to emitting NETDEV_CHANGEADDR is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore in patch #1, give this function an extack argument, so that a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be communicated back to the user. In patch #2, add the new notification type. In patch #3, have dev.c emit the notification for instances of dev_addr change, or addition of an address to dev_addrs list. In patches #4 and #5, extend the bridge driver to handle and emit the new notifier. In patch #6, change IPVLAN to emit the new notifier. Likewise for bonding driver in patches #7 and #8. Note that the team driver doesn't need this treatment, as it goes through dev_set_mac_address(). In patches #9, #10 and #11 adapt mlxsw to veto MAC addresses on router interfaces, if they violate the requirement that all RIF MAC addresses have the same prefix. Finally in patches #12 and #13, add a test for vetoing of a direct change of a port device MAC, and indirect change of a bridge MAC. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When a port is attached to a bridge, the address of the bridge in question may change as well. Even if it would not change at this point (because the current bridge address is lower), it might end up changing later as a result of detach of another port, which can't be vetoed. Therefore issue NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR regardless of whether the address will be used at this point or not, and make sure all involved parties would agree with the change.

This dual approach is easier to use: when the change is vetoed, nothing has changed yet, and it's therefore unnecessary to roll anything back. Therefore adopt it for NETDEV_CHANGEADDR as well. To that end, add NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR and an info structure to go along with it.

A follow-up patch will add a notifier type NETDEV_PRE_CHANGEADDR, which allows vetoing of MAC address changes. One prominent path to that notification is through dev_set_mac_address(). Therefore give this function an extack argument, so that it can be packed together with the notification. Thus a textual reason for rejection (or a warning) can be communicated back to the user.
