When page size is 64K, RX buffer is currently not reused when the page_offset is moved to last buffer. This patch adds checking to decide whether the buffer page can be reused when last_offset is moved beyond last offset. If the driver is the only user of page when page_offset is moved to beyond last offset, then buffer can be reused and page_offset is set to zero. Signed-off-by:

When desc filling fails in hns3_nic_net_xmit, it will call hns3_clear_desc to unmap the dma mapping. But currently the ring->next_to_use points to the desc where the desc filling or dma mapping return error, which means the desc that ring->next_to_use points to has not done the dma mapping, the desc that need unmapping is before the ring->next_to_use. This patch fixes it by calling ring_ptr_move_bw(next_to_use) before doing unmapping operation, and set desc_cb->dma to zero to avoid freeing it again when unloading. Also, when filling skb head or frag fails, both need to unmap all the way back to next_to_use_head, so remove one desc filling error handling.

When filling len and checksum info to description, there is some similar checking or calculation. So this patch adds hns3_set_l2l3l4 to fill the inner(/normal) header's len and checksum info. If it is a encapsulation skb, it calls hns3_set_outer_l2l3l4 to handle the outer header's len and checksum info, in order to avoid some similar checking or calculation. Signed-off-by:

The VLAN aware bridge offloading is similar to the VLAN unaware offloading, this makes it possible to offload the VLAN bridge functionalities. The hardware supports up to 64 VLAN bridge entries, we already use one entry for each LAN port to prevent forwarding of packets between the ports when the ports are not in a bridge, so in the end we have 57 possible VLANs. The VLAN filtering is currently only active when the ports are in a bridge, VLAN filtering for ports not in a bridge is not implemented. It is currently not possible to change between VLAN filtering and not filtering while the port is already in a bridge, this would make the driver more complicated. The VLANs are only defined on bridge entries, so we will not add anything into the hardware when the port joins a bridge if it is doing VLAN filtering, but only when an allowed VLAN is added.

This allows to offload bridges with DSA to the switch hardware and do the packet forwarding in hardware. This implements generic functions to access the switch hardware tables, which are used to control many features of the switch. This patch activates the MAC learning by removing the MAC address table lock, to prevent uncontrolled forwarding of packets between all the LAN ports, they are added into individual bridge tables entries with individual flow ids and the switch will do the MAC learning for each port separately before they are added to a real bridge. Each bridge consist of an entry in the active VLAN table and the VLAN mapping table, table entries with the same index are matching. In the VLAN unaware mode we configure everything with VLAN ID 0, but we use different flow IDs, the switch should handle all VLANs as normal payload and ignore them. When the hardware looks for the port of the destination MAC address it only takes the entries which have the same flow ID of the ingress packet. The bridges are configured with 64 possible entries with these information: Table Index, 0...63 VLAN ID, 0...4095: VLAN ID 0 is untagged flow ID, 0..63: Same flow IDs share entries in MAC learning table port map, one bit for each port number tagged port map, one bit for each port number Signed-off-by:

In commit 3c75f6ee ("net_sched: sch_htb: add per class overlimits counter") we added an overlimits counter for each HTB class which could properly reflect how many times we use up all the bandwidth on each class. However, the overlimits counter in HTB qdisc does not, it is way bigger than the sum of each HTB class. In fact, this qdisc overlimits counter increases when we have no skb to dequeue, which happens more often than we run out of bandwidth. It makes more sense to make this qdisc overlimits counter just be a sum of each HTB class, in case people still get confused. I have verified this patch with one single HTB class, where HTB qdisc counters now always match HTB class counters as expected. Eric suggested we could fold this field into 'direct_pkts' as we only use its 32bit on 64bit CPU, this saves one cache line. Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by:

Vladimir Oltean says: ==================== Traffic support for SJA1105 DSA driver This patch set is a continuation of the "NXP SJA1105 DSA driver" v3 series, which was split in multiple pieces for easier review. Supporting a fully-featured (traffic-capable) driver for this switch requires some rework in DSA and also leaves behind a more generic infrastructure for other dumb switches that rely on 802.1Q pseudo-switch tagging for port separation. Among the DSA changes required are: * Generic xmit and rcv functions for pushing/popping 802.1Q tags on skb's. These are modeled as a tagging protocol of its own but which must be customized by drivers to fit their own hardware possibilities. * Permitting the .setup callback to invoke switchdev operations that will loop back into the driver through the switchdev notifier chain. The SJA1105 driver then proceeds to extend this 8021q switch tagging protocol while adding its own (tag_sja1105). This is done because the driver actually implements a "dual tagger": * For normal traffic it uses 802.1Q tags * For management (multicast DMAC) frames the switch has native support for recognizing and annotating these with source port and switch id information. Because this is a "dual tagger", decoding of management frames should still function when regular traffic can't (under a bridge with VLAN filtering). There was intervention in the DSA receive hotpath, where a new filtering function called from eth_type_trans() is needed. This is useful in the general sense for switches that might actually have some limited means of source port decoding, such as only for management traffic, but not for everything. In order for the 802.1Q tagging protocol (which cannot be enabled under all conditions, unlike the management traffic decoding) to not be an all-or-nothing choice, the filtering function matches everything that can be decoded, and everything else is left to pass to the master netdevice. Lastly, DSA core support was added for drivers to request skb deferral. SJA1105 needs this for SPI intervention during transmission of link-local traffic. This is not done from within the tagger. Some patches were carried over unchanged from the previous patchset (01/09). Others were slightly reworked while adapting to the recent changes in "Make DSA tag drivers kernel modules" (02/09). The introduction of some structures (DSA_SKB_CB, dp->priv) may seem a little premature at this point and the new structures under-utilized. The reason is that traffic support has been rewritten with PTP timestamping in mind, and then I removed the timestamping code from the current submission (1. it is a different topic, 2. it does not work very well yet). On demand I can provide the timestamping patchset as a RFC though.

While not explicitly documented as supported in UM10944, compliance with the STP states can be obtained by manipulating 3 settings at the (per-port) MAC config level: dynamic learning, inhibiting reception of regular traffic, and inhibiting transmission of regular traffic. In all these modes, transmission and reception of special BPDU frames from the stack is still enabled (not inhibited by the MAC-level settings). On ingress, BPDUs are classified by the MAC filter as link-local (01-80-C2-00-00-00) and forwarded to the CPU port. This mechanism works under all conditions (even without the custom 802.1Q tagging) because the switch hardware inserts the source port and switch ID into bytes 4 and 5 of the MAC-filtered frames. Then the DSA .rcv handler needs to put back zeroes into the MAC address after decoding the source port information. On egress, BPDUs are transmitted using management routes from the xmit worker thread. Again this does not require switch tagging, as the switch port is programmed through SPI to hold a temporary (single-fire) route for a frame with the programmed destination MAC (01-80-C2-00-00-00). STP is activated using the following commands and was tested by connecting two front-panel ports together and noticing that switching loops were prevented (one port remains in the blocking state): $ ip link add name br0 type bridge stp_state 1 && ip link set br0 up $ for eth in $(ls /sys/devices/platform/soc/2100000.spi/spi_master/spi0/spi0.1/net/); do ip link set ${eth} master br0 && ip link set ${eth} up; done Signed-off-by:Andrew Lunn <andrew@lunn.ch> Reviewed-by:

In order to support this, we are creating a make-shift switch tag out of a VLAN trunk configured on the CPU port. Termination of normal traffic on switch ports only works when not under a vlan_filtering bridge. Termination of management (PTP, BPDU) traffic works under all circumstances because it uses a different tagging mechanism (incl_srcpt). We are making use of the generic CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q code and leveraging it from our own CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_SJA1105. There are two types of traffic: regular and link-local. The link-local traffic received on the CPU port is trapped from the switch's regular forwarding decisions because it matched one of the two DMAC filters for management traffic. On transmission, the switch requires special massaging for these link-local frames. Due to a weird implementation of the switching IP, by default it drops link-local frames that originate on the CPU port. It needs to be told where to forward them to, through an SPI command ("management route") that is valid for only a single frame. So when we're sending link-local traffic, we are using the dsa_defer_xmit mechanism. Signed-off-by: -

Some hardware needs to take work to get convinced to receive frames on the CPU port (such as the sja1105 which takes temporary L2 forwarding rules over SPI that last for a single frame). Such work needs a sleepable context, and because the regular .ndo_start_xmit is atomic, this cannot be done in the tagger. So introduce a generic DSA mechanism that sets up a transmit skb queue and a workqueue for deferred transmission. The new driver callback (.port_deferred_xmit) is in dsa_switch and not in the tagger because the operations that require sleeping typically also involve interacting with the hardware, and not simply skb manipulations. Therefore having it there simplifies the structure a bit and makes it unnecessary to export functions from the driver to the tagger. The driver is responsible of calling dsa_enqueue_skb which transfers it to the master netdevice. This is so that it has a chance of performing some more work afterwards, such as cleanup or TX timestamping. To tell DSA that skb xmit deferral is required, I have thought about changing the return type of the tagger .xmit from struct sk_buff * into a enum dsa_tx_t that could potentially encode a DSA_XMIT_DEFER value. But the trailer tagger is reallocating every skb on xmit and therefore making a valid use of the pointer return value. So instead of reworking the API in complicated ways, right now a boolean property in the newly introduced DSA_SKB_CB is set. Signed-off-by:

Map a DSA structure over the 48-byte control block that will hold skb info on transmit and receive. This is only for use within the DSA processing layer (e.g. communicating between DSA core and tagger) and not for passing info around with other layers such as the master net device. Also add a DSA_SKB_CB_PRIV() macro which retrieves a pointer to the space up to 48 bytes that the DSA structure does not use. This space can be used for drivers to add their own private info. One use is for the PTP timestamping code path. When cloning a skb, annotate the original with a pointer to the clone, which the driver can then find easily and place the timestamp to. This avoids the need of a separate queue to hold clones and a way to match an original to a cloned skb. Signed-off-by:

Frames get processed by DSA and redirected to switch port net devices based on the ETH_P_XDSA multiplexed packet_type handler found by the network stack when calling eth_type_trans(). The running assumption is that once the DSA .rcv function is called, DSA is always able to decode the switch tag in order to change the skb->dev from its master. However there are tagging protocols (such as the new DSA_TAG_PROTO_SJA1105, user of DSA_TAG_PROTO_8021Q) where this assumption is not completely true, since switch tagging piggybacks on the absence of a vlan_filtering bridge. Moreover, management traffic (BPDU, PTP) for this switch doesn't rely on switch tagging, but on a different mechanism. So it would make sense to at least be able to terminate that. Having DSA receive traffic it can't decode would put it in an impossible situation: the eth_type_trans() function would invoke the DSA .rcv(), which could not change skb->dev, then eth_type_trans() would be invoked again, which again would call the DSA .rcv, and the packet would never be able to exit the DSA filter and would spiral in a loop until the whole system dies. This happens because eth_type_trans() doesn't actually look at the skb (so as to identify a potential tag) when it deems it as being ETH_P_XDSA. It just checks whether skb->dev has a DSA private pointer installed (therefore it's a DSA master) and that there exists a .rcv callback (everybody except DSA_TAG_PROTO_NONE has that). This is understandable as there are many switch tags out there, and exhaustively checking for all of them is far from ideal. The solution lies in introducing a filtering function for each tagging protocol. In the absence of a filtering function, all traffic is passed to the .rcv DSA callback. The tagging protocol should see the filtering function as a pre-validation that it can decode the incoming skb. The traffic that doesn't match the filter will bypass the DSA .rcv callback and be left on the master netdevice, which wasn't previously possible. Signed-off-by:

This patch provides generic DSA code for using VLAN (802.1Q) tags for the same purpose as a dedicated switch tag for injection/extraction. It is based on the discussions and interest that has been so far expressed in https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg556125.html. Unlike all other DSA-supported tagging protocols, CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q does not offer a complete solution for drivers (nor can it). Instead, it provides generic code that driver can opt into calling: - dsa_8021q_xmit: Inserts a VLAN header with the specified contents. Can be called from another tagging protocol's xmit function. Currently the LAN9303 driver is inserting headers that are simply 802.1Q with custom fields, so this is an opportunity for code reuse. - dsa_8021q_rcv: Retrieves the TPID and TCI from a VLAN-tagged skb. Removing the VLAN header is left as a decision for the caller to make. - dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging: For each user port, installs an Rx VID and a Tx VID, for proper untagged traffic identification on ingress and steering on egress. Also sets up the VLAN trunk on the upstream (CPU or DSA) port. Drivers are intentionally left to call this function explicitly, depending on the context and hardware support. The expected switch behavior and VLAN semantics should not be violated under any conditions. That is, after calling dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging, the hardware should still pass all ingress traffic, be it tagged or untagged. For uniformity with the other tagging protocols, a module for the dsa_8021q_netdev_ops structure is registered, but the typical usage is to set up another tagging protocol which selects CONFIG_NET_DSA_TAG_8021Q, and calls the API from tag_8021q.h. Null function definitions are also provided so that a "depends on" is not forced in the Kconfig. This tagging protocol only works when switch ports are standalone, or when they are added to a VLAN-unaware bridge. It will probably remain this way for the reasons below. When added to a bridge that has vlan_filtering 1, the bridge core will install its own VLANs and reset the pvids through switchdev. For the bridge core, switchdev is a write-only pipe. All VLAN-related state is kept in the bridge core and nothing is read from DSA/switchdev or from the driver. So the bridge core will break this port separation because it will install the vlan_default_pvid into all switchdev ports. Even if we could teach the bridge driver about switchdev preference of a certain vlan_default_pvid (task difficult in itself since the current setting is per-bridge but we would need it per-port), there would still exist many other challenges. Firstly, in the DSA rcv callback, a driver would have to perform an iterative reverse lookup to find the correct switch port. That is because the port is a bridge slave, so its Rx VID (port PVID) is subject to user configuration. How would we ensure that the user doesn't reset the pvid to a different value (which would make an O(1) translation impossible), or to a non-unique value within this DSA switch tree (which would make any translation impossible)? Finally, not all switch ports are equal in DSA, and that makes it difficult for the bridge to be completely aware of this anyway. The CPU port needs to transmit tagged packets (VLAN trunk) in order for the DSA rcv code to be able to decode source information. But the bridge code has absolutely no idea which switch port is the CPU port, if nothing else then just because there is no netdevice registered by DSA for the CPU port. Also DSA does not currently allow the user to specify that they want the CPU port to do VLAN trunking anyway. VLANs are added to the CPU port using the same flags as they were added on the user port. So the VLANs installed by dsa_port_setup_8021q_tagging per driver request should remain private from the bridge's and user's perspective, and should not alter the VLAN semantics observed by the user. In the current implementation a VLAN range ending at 4095 (VLAN_N_VID) is reserved for this purpose. Each port receives a unique Rx VLAN and a unique Tx VLAN. Separate VLANs are needed for Rx and Tx because they serve different purposes: on Rx the switch must process traffic as untagged and process it with a port-based VLAN, but with care not to hinder bridging. On the other hand, the Tx VLAN is where the reachability restrictions are imposed, since by tagging frames in the xmit callback we are telling the switch onto which port to steer the frame. Some general guidance on how this support might be employed for real-life hardware (some comments made by Florian Fainelli): - If the hardware supports VLAN tag stacking, it should somehow back up its private VLAN settings when the bridge tries to override them. Then the driver could re-apply them as outer tags. Dedicating an outer tag per bridge device would allow identical inner tag VID numbers to co-exist, yet preserve broadcast domain isolation. - If the switch cannot handle VLAN tag stacking, it should disable this port separation when added as slave to a vlan_filtering bridge, in that case having reduced functionality. - Drivers for old switches that don't support the entire VLAN_N_VID range will need to rework the current range selection mechanism.
