While up-streaming the IPQ4019 driver it was thought that the controller had no Clause 45 support, but it actually does and its activated by writing a bit to the mode register. So lets add it as newer SoC-s use the same controller and Clause 45 compliant PHY-s.

Subbaraya Sundeep says: ==================== Introduce mbox tracepoints for Octeontx2 This patchset adds tracepoints support for mailbox. In Octeontx2, PFs and VFs need to communicate with AF for allocating and freeing resources. Once all the configuration is done by AF for a PF/VF then packet I/O can happen on PF/VF queues. When an interface is brought up many mailbox messages are sent to AF for initializing queues. Say a VF is brought up then each message is sent to PF and PF forwards to AF and response also traverses from AF to PF and then VF. To aid debugging, tracepoints are added at places where messages are allocated, sent and message interrupts. Below is the trace of one of the messages from VF to AF and AF response back to VF: ~ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/rvu/enable ~ # ifconfig eth20 up [ 279.379559] eth20 NIC Link is UP 10000 Mbps Full duplex ~ # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace ifconfig-171 [000] .... 275.753345: otx2_msg_alloc: [0002:02:00.1] msg:(0x400) size:40 ifconfig-171 [000] ...1 275.753347: otx2_msg_send: [0002:02:00.1] sent 1 msg(s) of size:48 <idle>-0 [001] dNh1 275.753356: otx2_msg_interrupt: [0002:02:00.0] mbox interrupt VF(s) to PF (0x1) kworker/u9:1-90 [001] ...1 275.753364: otx2_msg_send: [0002:02:00.0] sent 1 msg(s) of size:48 kworker/u9:1-90 [001] d.h. 275.753367: otx2_msg_interrupt: [0002:01:00.0] mbox interrupt PF(s) to AF (0x2) kworker/u9:2-167 [002] .... 275.753535: otx2_msg_process: [0002:01:00.0] msg:(0x400) error:0 kworker/u9:2-167 [002] ...1 275.753537: otx2_msg_send: [0002:01:00.0] sent 1 msg(s) of size:32 <idle>-0 [003] d.h1 275.753543: otx2_msg_interrupt: [0002:02:00.0] mbox interrupt AF to PF (0x1) <idle>-0 [001] d.h2 275.754376: otx2_msg_interrupt: [0002:02:00.1] mbox interrupt PF to VF (0x1) v3 changes: Removed EXPORT_TRACEPOINT_SYMBOLS of otx2_msg_send and otx2_msg_check since they are called locally only v2 changes: Removed otx2_msg_err tracepoint since it is similar to devlink_hwerr and it will be used instead when devlink supported is added. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Added tracepoints in mailbox code so that the mailbox operations like message allocation, sending message and message interrupts are traced. Also the mailbox errors occurred like timeout or wrong responses are traced. These will help in debugging mailbox issues.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: mcast: IGMPv3/MLDv2 fast-path (part 2) This is the second part of the IGMPv3/MLDv2 support which adds support for the fast-path. In order to be able to handle source entries we add mdb support for S,G entries (i.e. we add source address support to br_ip), that requires to extend the current mdb netlink API, fortunately we just add another attribute which will contain nested future mdb attributes, then we use it to add support for S,G user- add, del and dump. The lookup sequence is simple: when IGMPv3/MLDv2 are enabled do the S,G lookup first and if it fails fallback to *,G. The more complex part is when we begin handling source lists and auto-installing S,G entries and *,G filter mode transitions. We have the following cases: 1) *,G INCLUDE -> EXCLUDE transition: we need to install the port in all of *,G's installed S,G entries for proper replication (except the ones explicitly blocked), this is also necessary when adding a new *,G EXCLUDE port group 2) *,G EXCLUDE -> INCLUDE transition: we need to remove the port from all of *,G's installed S,G entries, this is also necessary when removing a *,G port group 3) New S,G port entry: we need to install all current *,G EXCLUDE ports 4) Remove S,G port entry: if all other port groups were auto-installed we can safely remove them and delete the whole S,G entry Currently we compute these operations from the available ports, their source lists and their filter mode. In the future we can extend the port group structure and reduce the running time of these ops. Also one current limitation is that host-joined S,G entries are not supported. I.e. one cannot add "dev bridge port bridge" mdb S,G entries. The host join is currently considered an EXCLUDE {} join, so it's reflected in all of *,G's installed S,G entries. If an S,G,port entry is added as temporary then the kernel can take it over if a source shows up from a report, permanent entries are skipped. In order to properly handle blocked sources we add a new port group blocked flag to avoid forwarding to that port group in the S,G. Finally when forwarding we use the port group filter mode (if it's INCLUDE and the port group is from a *,G then don't replicate to it, respectively if it's EXCLUDE then forward) and the blocked flag (obviously if it's set - skip that port unless it's a router port) to decide if the port should be skipped. Another limitation is that we can't do some of the above transitions without small traffic drop while installing/removing entries. That will be taken care of when we add atomic swap of port replication lists later. Patch break down: patches 1-3: prepare the mdb code for better extack support which is used in future patches to return a more meaningful error patches 4-6: add the source address field to struct br_ip, and do minor cleanups around it patches 7-8: extend the mdb netlink API so we can send new mdb attributes and uses the new API for S,G entry add/del/dump support patch 9: takes care of S,G entries when doing a lookup (first S,G then *,G lookup) patch 10: adds a new port group field and attribute for origin protocol we use the already available RTPROT_ definitions, currently user-space entries are added as RTPROT_STATIC and kernel entries are added as RTPROT_KERNEL, we may allow user-space to set custom values later (e.g. for FRR, clag) patch 11: adds an internal S,G,port rhashtable to speed up filter mode transitions patch 12: initial automatic install of S,G entries based on port groups' source lists patch 13: handles port group modes on transitions or when new port group entries are added patch 14: self-explanatory - adds support for blocked port group entries needed to stop forwarding to particular S,G,port entries patch 15: handles host-join/leave state changes, treats host-joins as EXCLUDE {} groups (reflected in all *,G's S,G entries) patch 16: finally adds the fast-path filter mode and block flag support Here're the sets that will come next (in order): - iproute2 support for IGMPv3/MLDv2 - selftests for all mode transitions and group flags - explicit host tracking for proper fast-leave support - atomic port replication lists (these are also needed for broadcast forwarding optimizations) - mode transition optimization and removal of open-coded sorted lists Not implemented yet: - Host IGMPv3/MLDv2 filter support (currently we handle only join/leave as before) - Proper other querier source timer and value updates - IGMPv3/v2 MLDv2/v1 compat (I have a few rough patches for this one) v2: fix build with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_MCAST in patch 6 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Since host joins are considered as EXCLUDE {} joins we need to reflect that in all of *,G ports' S,G entries.

When excluding S,G entries we need a way to block a particular S,G,port. The new port group flag is managed based on the source's timer as per RFCs 3376 and 3810.

We need to handle group filter mode transitions and initial state. To change a port group's INCLUDE -> EXCLUDE mode (or when we have added a new port group in EXCLUDE mode) we need to add that port to all of *,G ports' S,G entries for proper replication. When the EXCLUDE state is changed from IGMPv3 report, br_multicast_fwd_filter_exclude() must be called after the source list processing because the assumption is that all of the group's S,G entries will be created before transitioning to EXCLUDE mode, i.e. most importantly its blocked entries will already be added so it will not get automatically added to them. The transition EXCLUDE -> INCLUDE happens only when a port group timer expires, it requires us to remove that port from all of *,G ports' S,G entries where it was automatically added previously. Finally when we are adding a new S,G entry we must add all of *,G's EXCLUDE ports to it. In order to distinguish automatically added *,G EXCLUDE ports we have a new port group flag - MDB_PG_FLAGS_STAR_EXCL. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

We need to be able to differentiate between pg entries created by user-space and the kernel when we start generating S,G entries for IGMPv3/MLDv2's fast path. User-space entries are created by default as RTPROT_STATIC and the kernel entries are RTPROT_KERNEL. Later we can allow user-space to provide the entry rt_protocol so we can differentiate between who added the entries specifically (e.g. clag, admin, frr etc).

The first six patches are cleanup (sort include files alphabetically, remove stray empty line, get rid of long lines) and adding more registers and documentation (registers and wakeup interrupt). Then in two patches the transceiver regulator is made optional, and a check for maximum transceiver bitrate is added. Then the ECC support for HW thats supports this is added. The next three patches improve suspend and low power mode handling. Followed by six patches that add CAN-FD support and CAN-FD related features. The last two patches add support for the flexcan IP core on the imx8qm and lx2160ar1. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Originators of cmd IO typically hold the rtnl or conf_mutex to protect against a concurrent teardown. Since qeth_set_offline() already holds the conf_mutex, the main reason why we still care about cancelling pending cmds is so that they release the rtnl when we need it ourselves. So move this step a little earlier into the teardown sequence. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Julian Wiedmann authored
The programming of ucast IPs via qeth_l3_modify_ip() is driven independently from any of our typical locking mechanisms (eg. detaching the netdevice, or holding the conf_mutex). So when we inspect the card state to check whether the required cmd IO should be deferred, there is no protection against concurrent state changes. But by slightly re-ordering the teardown sequence, we can rely on the ip_lock to sufficiently serialize things: 1. when running concurrently to qeth_l3_set_online(), any instance of qeth_l3_modify_ip() that aquires the ip_lock _after_ qeth_l3_recover_ip() will observe the state as CARD_STATE_SOFTSETUP and not defer the IO. 2. when running concurrently to qeth_l3_set_offline(), any instance of qeth_l3_modify_ip() that aquires the ip_lock _after_ qeth_l3_clear_ip_htable() will observe the state as CARD_STATE_DOWN and defer the IO. These guarantees in mind, we can now drop the conf_mutex from the qeth_l3_modify_rxip_vipa() wrapper. Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
