Add a new address generator mode, using the stable address generator with an automatically generated secret. This is intended as a default address generator mode for device types with no EUI64 implementation. The new generator is used for ARPHRD_NONE interfaces initially, adding default IPv6 autoconf support to e.g. tun interfaces. If the addrgenmode is set to 'random', either by default or manually, and no stable secret is available, then a random secret is used as input for the stable-privacy address generator. The secret can be read and modified like manually configured secrets, using the proc interface. Modifying the secret will change the addrgen mode to 'stable-privacy' to indicate that it operates on a known secret. Existing behaviour of the 'stable-privacy' mode is kept unchanged. If a known secret is available when the device is created, then the mode will default to 'stable-privacy' as before. The mode can be manually set to 'random' but it will behave exactly like 'stable-privacy' in this case. The secret will not change.

When the underlying device supports offloads encapulated traffic, we need to reflect that through the hw_enc_features field of the team net-device. This will cause the xmit path in the core networking stack to provide team with encapsulated GSO frames to offload into the HW etc. Using this over Mellanox ConnectX3-pro (mlx4 driver) card that supports VXLAN offloads we got 36.0 Gbits/sec using eight iperf streams.

The CDC descriptors found on these vendor specific functions should not be considered authoritative. They seem to be ignored by drivers for other systems, and the quality is therefore low. One device (1e0e:9001) has been reported to have such a bogus union descriptor on the QMI function, making it fail probing even if the device id was dynamically added. The report was not complete enough to allow adding a device entry for this modem. But this should at least fix the dynamic id probing problem.

Rainer Weikusat authored
With b3ca9b02, the AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM receive code was changed from using mutex_lock(&u->readlock) to mutex_lock_interruptible(&u->readlock) to prevent signals from being delayed for an indefinite time if a thread sleeping on the mutex happened to be selected for handling the signal. But this was never a problem with the stream receive code (as opposed to its datagram counterpart) as that never went to sleep waiting for new messages with the mutex held and thus, wouldn't cause secondary readers to block on the mutex waiting for the sleeping primary reader. As the interruptible locking makes the code more complicated in exchange for no benefit, change it back to using mutex_lock.

The Cavium guys reported a soft lockup on their arm64 machine, caused by commit c55a6ffa ("locking/osq: Relax atomic semantics"): mutex_optimistic_spin+0x9c/0x1d0 __mutex_lock_slowpath+0x44/0x158 mutex_lock+0x54/0x58 kernfs_iop_permission+0x38/0x70 __inode_permission+0x88/0xd8 inode_permission+0x30/0x6c link_path_walk+0x68/0x4d4 path_openat+0xb4/0x2bc do_filp_open+0x74/0xd0 do_sys_open+0x14c/0x228 SyS_openat+0x3c/0x48 el0_svc_naked+0x24/0x28 This is because in osq_lock we initialise the node for the current CPU: node->locked = 0; node->next = NULL; node->cpu = curr; and then publish the current CPU in the lock tail: old = atomic_xchg_acquire(&lock->tail, curr); Once the update to lock->tail is visible to another CPU, the node is then live and can be both read and updated by concurrent lockers. Unfortunately, the ACQUIRE semantics of the xchg operation mean that there is no guarantee the contents of the node will be visible before lock tail is updated. This can lead to lock corruption when, for example, a concurrent locker races to set the next field.

Within the tx_startup() function in mac-fcc.c, the address of last BD is not calculated correctly. As a result of wrong calculation of the last BD address, the next transmitted BD may be set to an area out of the transmit BD ring. This actually causes to port lock-up and it is not recoverable.

After commit 15bf176d ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser"), 'TSEC' model controllers (for example as seen on MPC8541E) always have 8 bytes stripped from the front of received frames. Only 'eTSEC' gianfar controllers have the RX Filer capability (amongst other enhancements). Previously this was treated as always enabled for both 'TSEC' and 'eTSEC' controllers. In commit 15bf176d ("gianfar: Don't enable the Filer w/o the Parser") a subtle change was made to the setting of 'uses_rxfcb' to effectively always set it (since 'rx_filer_enable' was always true). This had the side-effect of always stripping 8 bytes from the front of received frames on 'TSEC' type controllers. We now only enable the RX Filer capability on controller types that support it, thereby avoiding the issue for 'TSEC' type controllers.

The commit ba7c95ea ("rhashtable: Fix sleeping inside RCU critical section in walk_stop") introduced a new spinlock for the walker list. However, it did not convert all existing users of the list over to the new spin lock. Some continued to use the old mutext for this purpose. This obviously led to corruption of the list. The fix is to use the spin lock everywhere where we touch the list. This also allows us to do rcu_rad_lock before we take the lock in rhashtable_walk_start. With the old mutex this would've deadlocked but it's safe with the new spin lock. Fixes: ba7c95ea ("rhashtable: Fix sleeping inside RCU...")

Anjali Singhai Jain says: ==================== Add support for Geneve udp port offload This patch series adds new ndo ops for Geneve add/del port, so as to help offload Geneve tunnel functionalities such as RX checksum, RSS, filters etc. i40e driver has been tested with the changes to make sure the offloads happen. We do understand that this is not the ideal solution and most likely will be redone with a more generic offload framework. But this certainly will enable us to start seeing benefits of the accelerations for Geneve tunnels. As a side note, we did find an existing issue in i40e driver where a service task can modify tunnel data structures with no locks held to help linearize access. A separate patch will be taking care of that issue. A question out to the community is regarding the driver Kconfig parameters for VxLAN and Geneve, it would be ideal to drop those if there is a way to help resolve vxlan/geneve_get_rx_port symbols while the tunnel modules are not loaded. Performance numbers: With the offloads enable on X722 devices with remote checksum enabled and no other tuning in terms of cpu governer etc on my test machine: With offload Throughput: 5527Mbits/sec with a single thread %cpu: ~43% per core with 4 threads Without offload Throughput: 2364Mbits/sec with a single thread %cpu: ~99% per core with 4 threads These numbers will get better for X722 as it is being worked. But this does bring out the delta in terms of when the stack is notified with csum_level 1 and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY vs not without the RX offload. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

As we all know, the value of pf_retrans >= max_retrans_path can disable pf state. The variables of pf_retrans and max_retrans_path can be changed by the userspace application. Sometimes the user expects to disable pf state while the 2 variables are changed to enable pf state. So it is necessary to introduce a new variable to disable pf state. According to the suggestions from Vlad Yasevich, extra1 and extra2 are removed. The initialization of pf_enable is added.
