      batman-adv: use inline kernel-doc for uapi constants · 40b16b9b
      Sven Eckelmann authored
      The enums of constants for netlink tends to become rather large over time.
      Documenting them is easier when the kernel-doc is actually next to constant
      and not in a different block above the enum.
      
      Also inline kernel-doc allows multi-paragraph description. This could be
      required to better document the netlink command types and the expected
      return values.

      net: systemport: Guard against unmapped TX ring · e83b1715
      Florian Fainelli authored
      Because SYSTEMPORT is a (semi) normal network device, the stack may attempt to
      queue packets on it oustide of the DSA slave transmit path.  When that happens,
      the DSA layer has not had a chance to tag packets with the appropriate per-port
      and per-queue information, and if that happens and we don't have a port 0 queue
      0 available (e.g: on boards where this does not exist), we will hit a NULL
      pointer de-reference in bcm_sysport_select_queue().
      
      Guard against such cases by testing for the TX ring validity.

      Merge branch 'mlxsw-Add-support-for-non-equal-cost-multi-path' · fbd15f48

      ====================
      mlxsw: Add support for non-equal-cost multi-path
      
      Ido says:
      
      In the device, nexthops are stored as adjacency entries in an array
      called the KVD linear (KVDL). When a multi-path route is hit the
      packet's headers are hashed and then converted to an index into KVDL
      based on the adjacency group's size and base index.
      
      Up until now the driver ignored the `weight` parameter for multi-path
      routes and allocated only one adjacency entry for each nexthop with a
      limit of 32 nexthops in a group. This set makes the driver take the
      `weight` parameter into account when allocating adjacency entries.
      
      First patch teaches dpipe to show the size of the adjacency group, so
      that users will be able to determine the actual weight of each nexthop.
      The second patch refactors the KVDL allocator, making it more receptive
      towards the addition of another partition later in the set.
      
      Patches 3-5 introduce small changes towards the actual change in the
      sixth patch that populates the adjacency entries according to their
      relative weight.
      
      Last two patches finally add another partition to the KVDL, which allows
      us to allocate more than 32 entries per-group and thus support more
      nexthops and also provide higher accuracy with regards to the requested
      weights.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Add another partition to KVD linear · 330e2cc6
      Ido Schimmel authored
      The KVD linear is currently partitioned into two partitions. One for
      single entries and another for groups of 32 entries.
      
      Add another partition consisting of groups of 512 entries which will
      allow us to more accurately represent the nexthop weights in non-equal
      cost multi-path routing.

      mlxsw: spectrum: Increase number of linear entries · f11fbaf8
      Ido Schimmel authored
      The memory region where adjacency entries (nexthops) are stored is
      called the KVD linear and is configured during initialization with a
      size of 64K.
      
      Extend this area with 32K more entries, that will be partitioned into 64
      groups of 0.5K entries, thereby allowing us to support weighted nexthops
      with high accuracy.
      
      Change the ratio between both types of hash entries, so as to prevent
      reduction in the number of double hash entries, which are used for IPv6
      neighbours and routes with a prefix length greater than 64.
      
      Note that the user will be able to control all these sizes once the
      devlink resource manager is introduced.

      mlxsw: spectrum_router: Populate adjacency entries according to weights · eb789980
      Ido Schimmel authored
      Up until now the driver assumed all the nexthops have an equal weight
      and wrote each to a single adjacency entry.
      
      This patch takes the `weight` parameter into account and populates the
      adjacency group according to the relative weight of each nexthop.
      
      Specifically, the weights of all the nexthops that should be offloaded
      are first normalized and then used to calculate the upper adjacency
      index of each nexthop. This is done according to the hash-threshold
      algorithm used by the kernel for IPv4 multi-path routing.
      
      Adjacency groups are currently limited to 32 entries which limits the
      weights that can be used, but follow-up patches will introduce groups of
      512 entries.

      mlxsw: spectrum_router: Prepare for large adjacency groups · 425a08c6
      Ido Schimmel authored
      The device has certain restrictions regarding the size of an adjacency
      group.
      
      Have the router determine the size of the adjacency group according to
      available KVDL allocation sizes and these restrictions.
      
      This was not needed until now since only allocations of up 32 entries
      were supported and these are all valid sizes for an adjacency group.
