Similar to the way in which of_mdiobus_register() has a fallback to the non-DT based mdiobus_register() when CONFIG_OF is not set, we can create a shim for the device-managed devm_of_mdiobus_register() which calls devm_mdiobus_register() and discards the struct device_node *. In particular, this solves a build issue with the qca8k DSA driver which uses devm_of_mdiobus_register and can be compiled without CONFIG_OF. Reported-by:

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Add support for custom multipath hash This patchset adds support for custom multipath hash policy for both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. The new policy allows user space to control the outer and inner packet fields used for the hash computation. Motivation ========== Linux currently supports different multipath hash policies for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic: * Layer 3 * Layer 4 * Layer 3 or inner layer 3, if present These policies hash on a fixed set of fields, which is inflexible and against operators' requirements to control the hash input: "The ability to control the inputs to the hash function should be a consideration in any load-balancing RFP" [1]. An example of this inflexibility can be seen by the fact that none of the current policies allows operators to use the standard 5-tuple and the flow label for multipath hash computation. Such a policy is useful in the following real-world example of a data center with the following types of traffic: * Anycast IPv6 TCP traffic towards layer 4 load balancers. Flow label is constant (zero) to avoid breaking established connections * Non-encapsulated IPv6 traffic. Flow label is used to re-route flows around problematic (congested / failed) paths [2] * IPv6 encapsulated traffic (IPv4-in-IPv6 or IPv6-in-IPv6). Outer flow label is generated from encapsulated packet * UDP encapsulated traffic. Outer source port is generated from encapsulated packet In the above example, using the inner flow information for hash computation in addition to the outer flow information is useful during failures of the BPF agent that selectively generates the flow label based on the traffic type. In such cases, the self-healing properties of the flow label are lost, but encapsulated flows are still load balanced. Control over the inner fields is even more critical when encapsulation is performed by hardware routers. For example, the Spectrum ASIC can only encode 8 bits of entropy in the outer flow label / outer UDP source port when performing IP / UDP encapsulation. In the case of IPv4 GRE encapsulation there is no outer field to encode the inner hash in. User interface ============== In accordance with existing multipath hash configuration, the new custom policy is added as a new option (3) to the net.ipv{4,6}.fib_multipath_hash_policy sysctls. When the new policy is used, the packet fields used for hash computation are determined by the net.ipv{4,6}.fib_multipath_hash_fields sysctls. These sysctls accept a bitmask according to the following table (from ip-sysctl.rst): ====== ============================ 0x0001 Source IP address 0x0002 Destination IP address 0x0004 IP protocol 0x0008 Flow Label 0x0010 Source port 0x0020 Destination port 0x0040 Inner source IP address 0x0080 Inner destination IP address 0x0100 Inner IP protocol 0x0200 Inner Flow Label 0x0400 Inner source port 0x0800 Inner destination port ====== ============================ For example, to allow IPv6 traffic to be hashed based on standard 5-tuple and flow label: # sysctl -wq net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037 # sysctl -wq net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_policy=3 Implementation ============== As with existing policies, the new policy relies on the flow dissector to extract the packet fields for the hash computation. However, unlike existing policies that either use the outer or inner flow, the new policy might require both flows to be dissected. To avoid unnecessary invocations of the flow dissector, the data path skips dissection of the outer or inner flows if none of the outer or inner fields are required. In addition, inner flow dissection is not performed when no encapsulation was encountered (i.e., 'FLOW_DIS_ENCAPSULATION' not set by flow dissector) during dissection of the outer flow. Testing ======= Three new selftests are added with three different topologies that allow testing of following traffic combinations: * Non-encapsulated IPv4 / IPv6 traffic * IPv4 / IPv6 overlay over IPv4 underlay * IPv4 / IPv6 overlay over IPv6 underlay All three tests follow the same pattern. Each time a different packet field is used for hash computation. When the field changes in the packet stream, traffic is expected to be balanced across the two paths. When the field does not change, traffic is expected to be unbalanced across the two paths. Patchset overview ================= Patches #1-#3 add custom multipath hash support for IPv4 traffic Patches #4-#7 do the same for IPv6 Patches #8-#10 add selftests Future work =========== mlxsw support can be found here [3]. Changes since RFC v2 [4]: * Patch #2: Document that 0x0008 is used for Flow Label * Patch #2: Do not allow the bitmask to be zero * Patch #6: Do not allow the bitmask to be zero Changes since RFC v1 [5]: * Use a bitmask instead of a bitmap [1] https://blog.apnic.net/2018/01/11/ipv6-flow-label-misuse-hashing/ [2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3acf3ec3f4b0fd4263989f2e4227bbd1c42b5fe1 [3] https://github.com/idosch/linux/tree/submit/custom_hash_mlxsw_v2 [4] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210509151615.200608-1-idosch@idosch.org/ [5] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210502162257.3472453-1-idosch@idosch.org/ ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for hash calculation are determined by user space via the fib_multipath_hash_fields sysctl that was introduced in the previous patch. The current set of available packet fields includes both outer and inner fields, which requires two invocations of the flow dissector. Avoid unnecessary dissection of the outer or inner flows by skipping dissection if none of the outer or inner fields are required. In accordance with the existing policies, when an skb is not available, packet fields are extracted from the provided flow key. In which case, only outer fields are considered. Signed-off-by:

A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space. This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields. The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple: # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037 net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037 To avoid introducing holes in 'struct netns_sysctl_ipv6', move the 'bindv6only' field after the multipath hash fields. The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example: # sysctl -w net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv6.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument Signed-off-by:
