If we have scenarios like mdiobus_register() -> loads PHY driver module(s) -> registers PHY driver(s) -> may schedule async probe phydev = mdiobus_get_phy() <phydev action involving PHY driver> or phydev = phy_device_create() -> loads PHY driver module -> registers PHY driver -> may schedule async probe <phydev action involving PHY driver> then we expect the PHY driver to be bound to the phydev when triggering the action. This may not be the case in case of asynchronous probing. Therefore ensure that PHY drivers are probed synchronously. Default still is sync probing, except async probing is explicitly requested. I saw some comments that the intention is to promote async probing for more parallelism in boot process and want to be prepared for the case that the default is changed to async probing.

Jacob Keller says: ==================== implement DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW This series adds support for the DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW operation, used to enable userspace requesting a snapshot of a region on demand. This can be useful to enable adding regions for a driver for which there is no trigger to create snapshots. By making this a core part of devlink, there is no need for the drivers to use a separate channel such as debugfs. The primary intent for this kind of region is to expose device information that might be useful for diagnostics and information gathering. The first few patches refactor regions to support a new ops structure for extending the available operations that regions can perform. This includes converting the destructor into an op from a function argument. Next, patches refactor the snapshot id allocation to use an xarray which tracks the number of current snapshots using a given id. This is done so that id lifetime can be determined, and ids can be released when no longer in use. Without this change, snapshot ids remain used forever, until the snapshot_id count rolled over UINT_MAX. Finally, code to enable the previously unused DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW is added. This code enforces that the snapshot id is always provided, unlike previous revisions of this series. Finally, a patch is added to enable using this new command via the .snapshot callback in both netdevsim and the ice driver. For the ice driver, a new "nvm-flash" region is added, which will enable read access to the NVM flash contents. The intention for this is to allow diagnostics tools to gather information about the device. By using a snapshot and gathering the NVM contents all at once, the contents can be atomic.

Implement support for the DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW command for creating snapshots. This new command parallels the existing DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_DEL. In order for DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW to work for a region, the new ".snapshot" operation must be implemented in the region's ops structure. The desired snapshot id must be provided. This helps avoid confusion on the purpose of DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW, and keeps the API simpler. The requested id will be inserted into the xarray tracking the number of snapshots using each id. If this id is already used by another snapshot on any region, an error will be returned.

Jacob Keller authored
Each snapshot created for a devlink region must have an id. These ids are supposed to be unique per "event" that caused the snapshot to be created. Drivers call devlink_region_snapshot_id_get to obtain a new id to use for a new event trigger. The id values are tracked per devlink, so that the same id number can be used if a triggering event creates multiple snapshots on different regions. There is no mechanism for snapshot ids to ever be reused. Introduce an xarray to store the count of how many snapshots are using a given id, replacing the snapshot_id field previously used for picking the next id. The devlink_region_snapshot_id_get() function will use xa_alloc to insert an initial value of 1 value at an available slot between 0 and U32_MAX. The new __devlink_snapshot_id_increment() and __devlink_snapshot_id_decrement() functions will be used to track how many snapshots currently use an id. Drivers must now call devlink_snapshot_id_put() in order to release their reference of the snapshot id after adding region snapshots. By tracking the total number of snapshots using a given id, it is possible for the decrement() function to erase the id from the xarray when it is not in use. With this method, a snapshot id can become reused again once all snapshots that referred to it have been deleted via DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_DEL, and the driver has finished adding snapshots. This work also paves the way to introduce a mechanism for userspace to request a snapshot.

The devlink_snapshot_id_get() function returns a snapshot id. The snapshot id is a u32, so there is no way to indicate an error code. A future change is going to possibly add additional cases where this function could fail. Refactor the function to return the snapshot id in an argument, so that it can return zero or an error value. This ensures that snapshot ids cannot be confused with error values, and aids in the future refactor of snapshot id allocation management. Because there is no current way to release previously used snapshot ids, add a simple check ensuring that an error is reported in case the snapshot_id would over flow.

A future change is going to implement a new devlink command to request a snapshot on demand. As part of this, the logic for handling the snapshot ids will be refactored. To simplify the snapshot id allocation function, move it to a separate function prefixed by `__`. This helper function will assume the lock is held. While no other callers will exist, it simplifies refactoring the logic because there is no need to complicate the function with gotos to handle unlocking on failure.

Modify the devlink region code in preparation for adding new operations on regions. Create a devlink_region_ops structure, and move the name pointer from within the devlink_region structure into the ops structure (similar to the devlink_health_reporter_ops). This prepares the regions to enable support of additional operations in the future such as requesting snapshots, or accessing the region directly without a snapshot. In order to re-use the constant strings in the mlx4 driver their declaration must be changed to 'const char * const' to ensure the compiler realizes that both the data and the pointer cannot change.

Petr Machata says: ==================== Implement stats_update callback for pedit and skbedit The stats_update callback is used for adding HW counters to the SW ones. Both skbedit and pedit actions are actually recognized by flow_offload.h, but do not implement these callbacks. As a consequence, the reported values are only the SW ones, even where there is a HW counter available. Patch #1 adds the callback to action skbedit, patch #2 adds it to action pedit. Patch #3 tweaks an skbedit selftest with a check that would have caught this problem. The pedit test is not likewise tweaked, because the iproute2 pedit action currently does not support JSON dumping. This will be addressed later. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: Offload TC action pedit munge dsfield Petr says: The Spectrum switches allow packet prioritization based on DSCP on ingress, and update of DSCP on egress. This is configured through the DCB APP rules. For some use cases, assigning a custom DSCP value based on an ACL match is a better tool. To that end, offload FLOW_ACTION_MANGLE to permit changing of dsfield as a whole, or DSCP and ECN values in isolation. After fixing a commentary nit in patch #1, and mlxsw naming in patch #2, patches #3 and #4 add the offload to mlxsw. Patch #5 adds a forwarding selftest for pedit dsfield, applicable to SW as well as HW datapaths. Patch #6 adds a mlxsw-specific test to verify DSCP rewrite due to DCB APP rules is not performed on pedited packets. The tests only cover IPv4 dsfield setting. We have tests for IPv6 as well, but would like to postpone their contribution until the corresponding iproute patches have been accepted. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Besides that, when sending a large message with that type, we're also handle wrong receiving queue, it should be enqueued in socket receiving instead of multicast messages.

Currently eswitch mode change is occurring from 2 different execution contexts as below. 1. sriov sysfs enable/disable 2. devlink eswitch set commands Both of them need to access eswitch related data structures in synchronized manner. Without any synchronization below race condition exist.

Acquiring rtnl lock before taking esw->state_lock to follow similar locking sequence as ip link flow during eswitch mode set. rtnl lock is not good idea for two reasons. (a) Holding rtnl lock for several hundred device commands is not good idea. (b) It leads to below and more similar deadlocks. devlink eswitch_set devlink_mutex rtnl_lock - Lock A esw->state_lock() - Lock B eswitch_disable() reload() ib_register_device() ib_cache_setup_one() rtnl_lock() 2. Exporting devlink lock may lead to undesired use of it in vendor driver(s) in future. 3. Unloading representors outside of the mode_lock requires serialization with other process trying to enable the eswitch. 4. Differing the representors life cycle to a different workqueue requires synchronization with func_change_handler workqueue.

devlink_nl_cmd_eswitch_set_doit() doesn't hold devlink->lock mutex while invoking driver callback. This is likely due to eswitch mode setting involves adding/remove devlink ports, health reporters or other devlink objects for a devlink device. So it is driver responsiblity to ensure thread safe eswitch state transition happening via either sriov legacy enablement or via devlink eswitch set callback. Therefore, get() callback should also be invoked without holding devlink->lock mutex. Vendor driver can use same internal lock which it uses during eswitch mode set() callback. This makes get() and set() implimentation symmetric in devlink core and in vendor drivers. Hence, remove holding devlink->lock mutex during eswitch get() callback. Failing to do so results into below deadlock scenario when mlx5_core driver is improved to handle eswitch mode set critical section invoked by devlink and sriov sysfs interface in subsequent patch. devlink_nl_cmd_eswitch_set_doit() mlx5_eswitch_mode_set() mutex_lock(esw->mode_lock) <- Lock A [...] register_devlink_port() mutex_lock(&devlink->lock); <- lock B mutex_lock(&devlink->lock); <- lock B devlink_nl_cmd_eswitch_get_doit() mlx5_eswitch_mode_get() mutex_lock(esw->mode_lock) <- Lock A In subsequent patch, mlx5_core driver uses its internal lock during get() and set() eswitch callbacks. Other drivers have been inspected which returns either constant during get operations or reads the value from already allocated structure. Hence it is safe to remove the lock in get( ) callback and let vendor driver handle it.
