      be2net: Report a "link down" to the stack when a fatal error or fw reset happens. · 954f6825
      Venkata Duvvuru authored
      When an error (related to HW or FW) is detected on a function, the driver
      must pro-actively report a "link down" to the stack so that a possible
      failover can be initiated. This is being done currently only for some
      HW errors. This patch reports a "link down" even for fatal FW errors and
      EEH errors.

      be2net: Export board temperature using hwmon-sysfs interface. · 29e9122b
      Venkata Duvvuru authored
      Ethtool statistics is not the right place to display board temperature.
      This patch adds support to export die temperature of devices supported
      by be2net driver via the sysfs hwmon interface.

      Merge branch 'nf-ingress' · 5a99e7f2

      ====================
      Netfilter ingress support (v4)
      
      This is the v4 round of patches to add the Netfilter ingress hook, it basically
      comes in two steps:
      
      1) Add the CONFIG_NET_INGRESS switch to wrap the ingress static key around it.
         The idea is to use the same global static key to avoid adding more code to
         the hot path.
      
      2) Add the Netfilter ingress hook after the tc ingress hook, under the global
         ingress_needed static key. As I said, the netfilter ingress hook also has
         its own static key, that is nested under the global static key. Please, see
         patch 5/5 for performance numbers and more information.
      
      I originally started this next round, as it was suggested, exploring the
      independent static key for netfilter ingress just after tc ingress, but the
      results that I gathered from that patch are not good for non-users:
      
      Result: OK: 6425927(c6425843+d83) usec, 100000000 (60byte,0frags)
        15561955pps 7469Mb/sec (7469738400bps) errors: 100000000
      
      this roughly means 500Kpps less performance wrt. the base numbers, so that's
      the reason why I discarded that approach and I focused on this.
      
      The idea of this patchset is to open the window to nf_tables, which comes with
      features that will work out-of-the-box (once the boiler plate code to support
      the 'netdev' table family is in place), to avoid repeating myself [1], the most
      relevant features are:
      
      1) Multi-dimensional key dictionary lookups.
      2) Arbitrary stateful flow tables.
      3) Transactions and good support for dynamic updates.
      
      But there are also interest aspects to consider from userspace, such as the
      ability to support new layer 2 protocols without kernel updates, a well-defined
      netlink interface, userspace libraries and utilities for third party
      applications, among others.
      
      I hope we can be happy with this approach.
      
      Please, apply. Thanks.

      netfilter: add netfilter ingress hook after handle_ing() under unique static key · e687ad60
      Pablo Neira authored
      This patch adds the Netfilter ingress hook just after the existing tc ingress
      hook, that seems to be the consensus solution for this.
      
      Note that the Netfilter hook resides under the global static key that enables
      ingress filtering. Nonetheless, Netfilter still also has its own static key for
      minimal impact on the existing handle_ing().

      Note that the results are very similar before and after.
      
      I can see gcc gets the code under the ingress static key out of the hot path.
      Then, on that cold branch, it generates the code to accomodate the netfilter
      ingress static key. My explanation for this is that this reduces the pressure
      on the instruction cache for non-users as the new code is out of the hot path,
      and it comes with minimal impact for tc ingress users.

      net: add CONFIG_NET_INGRESS to enable ingress filtering · 1cf51900
      Pablo Neira authored
      This new config switch enables the ingress filtering infrastructure that is
      controlled through the ingress_needed static key. This prepares the
      introduction of the Netfilter ingress hook that resides under this unique
      static key.
      
      Note that CONFIG_SCH_INGRESS automatically selects this, that should be no
      problem since this also depends on CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT.
