The get_ts_info callback is used for obtaining information about timestamping capabilities of a network device. On Spectrum-1, implement it to advertise the PHC and the capability to do HW timestamping, and the supported RX and TX filters.

Configure MTPTPT to set which message types should arrive under which PTP trap, and MOGCR to clear the timestamp queue after its contents are reported through PTP_ING_FIFO or PTP_EGR_FIFO. With this configuration, PTP packets start arriving through the PTP traps. However since timestamping is disabled by default and there is currently no way to enable it, they will not be timestamped.

On Spectrum-1, timestamped PTP packets and the corresponding timestamps need to be kept in caches until both are available, at which point they are matched up and packets forwarded as appropriate. However, not all packets will ever see their timestamp, and not all timestamps will ever see their packet. It is therefore necessary to dispose of such abandoned entries. To that end, introduce a garbage collector to collect entries that have not had their counterpart turn up within about a second. The GC maintains a monotonously-increasing value of GC cycle. Every entry that is put to the hash table is annotated with the GC cycle at which it should be collected. When the GC runs, it walks the hash table, and collects the objects according to their GC cycle annotation.

On Spectrum-1, timestamps arrive through a pair of dedicated events: MLXSW_TRAP_ID_PTP_ING_FIFO and _EGR_FIFO. The payload delivered with those traps is contents of the timestamp FIFO at a given port in a given direction. Add a Spectrum-1-specific handler for these two events which decodes the timestamps and forwards them to the PTP module. Add a function that parses a packet, dispatching to ptp_classify_raw(), and decodes PTP message type, domain number, and sequence ID. Add a new mlxsw dependency on the PTP classifier. Add helpers that can store and retrieve unmatched timestamps and SKBs to the hash table added in a preceding patch. Add the matching code itself: upon arrival of a timestamp or a packet, look up the corresponding unmatched entry, and match it up. If there is none, add a new unmatched entry. This logic is the same on ingress as on egress. Packets and timestamps that never matched need to be eventually disposed of. A garbage collector added in a follow-up patch will take care of that. Since currently all this code is turned off, no crud will accumulate in the hash table.

Up until now, the PTP hardware clock code was only invoked in the process context (SYS_clock_adjtime -> do_clock_adjtime -> k_clock::clock_adj -> pc_clock_adjtime -> posix_clock_operations::clock_adjtime -> ptp_clock_info::adjtime -> mlxsw_spectrum). In order to enable HW timestamping, which is tied into trap handling, it will be necessary to take the clock lock from the PCI queue handler tasklets as well. Therefore use the _bh variants when handling the clock lock. Incidentally, Documentation/ptp/ptp.txt recommends _irqsave variants, but that's unnecessarily strong for our needs.

On Spectrum-1, timestamps are delivered separately from the packets, and need to paired up. Therefore, at some point after mlxsw_sp_port_xmit() is invoked, it is necessary to involve the chip-specific driver code to allow it to do the necessary bookkeeping and matching. On Spectrum-2, timestamps are delivered in CQE. For that reason, position the point of driver involvement into mlxsw_pci_cqe_sdq_handle() to make it hopefully easier to extend for Spectrum-2 in the future. To tell the driver what port the packet was sent on, keep tx_info in SKB control buffer. Introduce a new driver core interface mlxsw_core_ptp_transmitted(), a driver callback ptp_transmitted, and a PTP op transmitted. The callee is responsible for taking care of releasing the SKB passed to the new interfaces, and correspondingly have the new stub callbacks just call dev_kfree_skb_any(). Follow-up patches will introduce the actual content into mlxsw_sp1_ptp_transmitted() in particular.

The SKB control buffer is useful (and used) for bookkeeping of information related to that SKB. Add helpers so that the mlxsw driver(s) can safely use the buffer as well. The structure is currently empty, individual users will add members to it as necessary. Note that SKB allocation functions already clear the buffer, so the cleanup is only necessary when ndo_start_xmit is called.

When configured, the Spectrum hardware can recognize PTP packets and trap them to the CPU using dedicated traps, PTP0 and PTP1. One reason to get PTP packets under dedicated traps is to have a separate policer suitable for the amount of PTP traffic expected when switch is operated as a boundary clock. For this, add two new trap groups, MLXSW_REG_HTGT_TRAP_GROUP_SP_PTP0 and _PTP1, and associate the two PTP traps with these two groups. In the driver, specifically for Spectrum-1, event PTP packets will need to be paired up with their timestamps. Those arrive through a different set of traps, added later in the patch set. To support this future use, introduce a new PTP op, ptp_receive. It is possible to configure which PTP messages should be trapped under which PTP trap. On Spectrum systems, we will use PTP0 for event packets (which need timestamping), and PTP1 for control packets (which do not). Thus configure PTP0 trap with a custom callback that defers to the ptp_receive op. Additionally, L2 PTP packets are actually trapped through the LLDP trap, not through any of the PTP traps. So treat the LLDP trap the same way as the PTP0 trap. Unlike PTP traps, which are currently still disabled, LLDP trap is active. Correspondingly, have all the implementations of the ptp_receive op return true, which the handler treats as a signal to forward the packet immediately.

On Spectrum-1, timestamps for PTP packets are delivered through queues of ingress and egress timestamps. There are two event traps corresponding to activity on each of those queues. This mechanism is absent on Spectrum-2, and therefore the traps should only be registered on Spectrum-1. Carry a chip-specific listener array in mlxsw_sp->listeners and listeners_count. Register listeners from that array in mlxsw_sp_traps_init(). Add a new listener array for Spectrum-1 traps and configure the newly-added mlxsw_sp->listeners with this array. The listener array is empty for now, the events will be added in a later patch.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-06-28 This series contains a smorgasbord of updates to many of the Intel drivers. Gustavo A. R. Silva updates the ice and iavf drivers to use the strcut_size() helper where possible. Miguel increases the pause and refresh time for flow control in the e1000e driver during reset for certain devices. Dann Frazier fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe driver when using non-IPSec enabled devices. Colin Ian King fixes a potential overflow during a shift in the ixgbe driver. Also fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in the iavf driver by adding a check. Venkatesh Srinivas converts the e1000 driver to use dma_wmb() instead of wmb() for doorbell writes to avoid SFENCEs in the transmit and receive paths. Arjan updates the e1000e driver to improve boot time by over 100 msec by reducing the usleep ranges suring system startup. Artem updates the igb driver register dump in ethtool, first prepares the register dump for future additions of registers in the dump, then secondly, adds the RR2DCDELAY register to the dump. When dealing with time-sensitive networks, this register is helpful in determining your latency from the device to the ring. Alex fixes the ixgbevf driver to use the current cached link state, rather than trying to re-check the value from the PF. Harshitha adds support for MACVLAN offloads in i40e by using channels as MACVLAN interfaces. Detlev Casanova updates the e1000e driver to use delayed work instead of timers to run the watchdog. Vitaly fixes an issue in e1000e, where when disconnecting and reconnecting the physical cable connection, the NIC enters a DMoff state. This state causes a mismatch in link and duplexing, so check the PCIm function state and perform a PHY reset when in this state to resolve the issue. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== em_ipt: add support for addrtype We would like to be able to use the addrtype from tc for ACL rules and em_ipt seems the best place to add support for the already existing xt match. The biggest issue is that addrtype revision 1 (with ipv6 support) is NFPROTO_UNSPEC and currently em_ipt can't differentiate between v4/v6 if such xt match is used because it passes the match's family instead of the packet one. The first 3 patches make em_ipt match only on IP traffic (currently both policy and addrtype recognize such traffic only) and make it pass the actual packet's protocol instead of the xt match family when it's unspecified. They also add support for NFPROTO_UNSPEC xt matches. The last patch allows to add addrtype rules via em_ipt. We need to keep the user-specified nfproto for dumping in order to be compatible with libxtables, we cannot dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as the nfproto or we'll get an error from libxtables, thus the nfproto is limited to ipv4/ipv6 in patch 03 and is recorded. v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping, more information is available in the commit message in patch 03 v2: change patch 02 to set the nfproto only when unspecified and drop patch 04 from v1 (Eyal Birger) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

If we dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as nfproto user-space libxtables can't handle it and would exit with an error like: "libxtables: unhandled NFPROTO in xtables_set_nfproto" In order to avoid the error return the user-specified nfproto. If we don't record it then the match family is used which can be NFPROTO_UNSPEC. Even if we add support to mask NFPROTO_UNSPEC in iproute2 we have to be compatible with older versions which would be also be allowed to add NFPROTO_UNSPEC matches (e.g. addrtype after the last patch). v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping the rule, also don't allow the nfproto to be unspecified (explained above) v2: adjust changes to missing patch, was patch 04 in v1 Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Refreshing TIRs is done in order to update the TIRs with the current state of SQs in the transport domain, so that the TIRs can filter out undesired self-loopback packets based on the source SQ of the packet. Representor TIRs will only receive packets that originate from their associated vport, due to dedicated steering, and therefore will never receive self-loopback packets, whose source vport will be the vport of the E-Switch manager, and therefore not the vport associated with the representor. As such, it is not necessary to refresh the representors' TIRs, since self-loopback packets can't reach them. Since representors only exist in switchdev mode, and there is no scenario in which a representor will exist in the transport domain alongside a non-representor, it is not necessary to refresh the transport domain's TIRs upon changing the state of a representor's queues. Therefore, do not refresh TIRs upon such a change. Achieve this by adding an update_rx callback to the mlx5e_profile, which refreshes TIRs for non-representors and does nothing for representors, and replace instances of mlx5e_refresh_tirs() upon changing the state of the queues with update_rx().

This patch changes the way the driver advertises its checksum offload capabilities within the net device features bit mask. Instead of advertising protocol specific checksumming capabilities which are limited today to IPv4 and IPv6, we move to reporing generic HW checksumming capabilities. This will allow the network stack to let mlx5 device offload checksum for cases where the IP header is encapsulated within another protocol and the skb->protocol doesn't indicate one of the IP versions protocol, specifically in the case of MPLS label encapsulating the IP header and the skb->protocol indiciates MPLS ethertype rather than IP. Moving the HW_CSUM reporting is required in the basic net device hw features mask and also in the extensions (vlan and encpasulation features) since the extensions are always multiplied by the basic features set during the packet's traversal through the stack's tx flow.
