Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2020-09-22 This series includes mlx5 updates 1) Add support for Connection Tracking offload in NIC mode. Supporting CT offload in NIC mode on Mellanox cards is useful for scenarios where the dual port NIC serves as a gateway between 2 networks and forwards traffic between these networks. Since the traffic is not terminated on the host in this case, no use of SRIOV VFs and/or switchdev mode is required. Today Mellanox NIC cards already support offloading of packet forwarding between physical ports without going to the host so combining it with CT offloading allows users to create a gateway with forwarding and CT (Including NAT) offloading capabilities in non-switchdev mode. To support connection tracking in non-Switchdev mode (Single NIC mode), we need to make use of the current Connection tracking infrastructure implemented on top of E-Switch and the mlx5 generic flow table chains APIs, to make it work on non-Eswitch steering domain e.g. NIC RX domain, the following was performed: 1.1) Refactor current flow steering chains infrastructure and updates TC nic mode implementation to use flow table chains. 1.2) Refactor current Connection Tracking (CT) infrastructure to not assume E-switch backend, and make the CT layer agnostic to underlying steering mode (E-Switch/NIC) 1.3) Plumbing to support CT offload in NIC mode. 2) Trivial code cleanups. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Ioana Ciornei says: ==================== dpaa2-mac: add PCS support through the Lynx module This patch set aims to add PCS support in the dpaa2-eth driver by leveraging the Lynx PCS module. The first two patches are some missing pieces: the first one adding support for 10GBASER in Lynx PCS while the second one adds a new function - of_mdio_find_device - which is helpful in retrieving the PCS represented as a mdio_device. The final patch adds the glue logic between phylink and the Lynx PCS module: it retrieves the PCS represented as an mdio_device and registers it to Lynx and phylink. From that point on, any PCS callbacks are treated by Lynx, without dpaa2-eth interaction. Changes in v2: - move put_device() after destroy - 3/3 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Include PCS support in the dpaa2-eth driver by integrating it with the new Lynx PCS module. There is not much to talk about in terms of changes needed in the dpaa2-eth driver since the only steps necessary are to find the MDIO device representing the PCS, register it to the Lynx PCS module and then let phylink know if its existence also. After this, the PCS callbacks will be treated directly by Lynx, without interraction from dpaa2-eth's part.

Currently, ocelot switchdev passes the skb directly to the function that enqueues it to the list of skb's awaiting a TX timestamp. Whereas the felix DSA driver first clones the skb, then passes the clone to this queue. This matters because in the case of felix, the common IRQ handler, which is ocelot_get_txtstamp(), currently clones the clone, and frees the original clone. This is useless and can be simplified by using skb_complete_tx_timestamp() instead of skb_tstamp_tx().

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: dsa: b53: Configure VLANs while not filtering These two patches allow the b53 driver which always configures its CPU port as egress tagged to behave correctly with VLANs being always configured whenever a port is added to a bridge. Vladimir provides a patch that aligns the bridge with vlan_filtering=0 receive path to behave the same as vlan_filtering=1. Per discussion with Nikolay, this behavior is deemed to be too DSA specific to be done in the bridge proper. This is a preliminary series for Vladimir to make configure_vlan_while_filtering the default behavior for all DSA drivers in the future. Thanks! Changes in v3: - added Vladimir's Acked-by tag to patch #2 - removed unnecessary if_vlan.h inclusion in patch #2 - reworded commit message to be accurate with the code changes Changes in v2: - moved the call to dsa_untag_bridge_pvid() into net/dsa/tag_brcm.c since we have a single user for now ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Update the B53 driver to support VLANs while not filtering. This requires us to enable VLAN globally within the switch upon driver initial configuration (dev->vlan_enabled). We also need to remove the code that dealt with PVID re-configuration in b53_vlan_filtering() since that function worked under the assumption that it would only be called to make a bridge VLAN filtering, or not filtering, and we would attempt to move the port's PVID accordingly. Now that VLANs are programmed all the time, even in the case of a non-VLAN filtering bridge, we would be programming a default_pvid for the bridged switch ports. We need the DSA receive path to pop the VLAN tag if it is the bridge's default_pvid because the CPU port is always programmed tagged in the programmed VLANs. In order to do so we utilize the dsa_untag_bridge_pvid() helper introduced in the commit before within net/dsa/tag_brcm.c.

Currently the bridge untags VLANs present in its VLAN groups in __allowed_ingress() only when VLAN filtering is enabled. But when a skb is seen on the RX path as tagged with the bridge's pvid, and that bridge has vlan_filtering=0, and there isn't any 8021q upper with that VLAN either, then we have a problem. The bridge will not untag it (since it is supposed to remain VLAN-unaware), and pvid-tagged communication will be broken. There are 2 situations where we can end up like that: 1. When installing a pvid in egress-tagged mode, like this: ip link add dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 0 ip link set swp0 master br0 bridge vlan del dev swp0 vid 1 bridge vlan add dev swp0 vid 1 pvid This happens because DSA configures the VLAN membership of the CPU port using the same flags as swp0 (in this case "pvid and not untagged"), in an attempt to copy the frame as-is from ingress to the CPU. However, in this case, the packet may arrive untagged on ingress, it will be pvid-tagged by the ingress port, and will be sent as egress-tagged towards the CPU. Otherwise stated, the CPU will see a VLAN tag where there was none to speak of on ingress. When vlan_filtering is 1, this is not a problem, as stated in the first paragraph, because __allowed_ingress() will pop it. But currently, when vlan_filtering is 0 and we have such a VLAN configuration, we need an 8021q upper (br0.1) to be able to ping over that VLAN, which is not symmetrical with the vlan_filtering=1 case, and therefore, confusing for users. Basically what DSA attempts to do is simply an approximation: try to copy the skb with (or without) the same VLAN all the way up to the CPU. But DSA drivers treat CPU port VLAN membership in various ways (which is a good segue into situation 2). And some of those drivers simply tell the CPU port to copy the frame unmodified, which is the golden standard when it comes to VLAN processing (therefore, any driver which can configure the hardware to do that, should do that, and discard the VLAN flags requested by DSA on the CPU port). 2. Some DSA drivers always configure the CPU port as egress-tagged, in an attempt to recover the classified VLAN from the skb. These drivers cannot work at all with untagged traffic when bridged in vlan_filtering=0 mode. And they can't go for the easy "just keep the pvid as egress-untagged towards the CPU" route, because each front port can have its own pvid, and that might require conflicting VLAN membership settings on the CPU port (swp1 is pvid for VID 1 and egress-tagged for VID 2; swp2 is egress-taggeed for VID 1 and pvid for VID 2; with this simplistic approach, the CPU port, which is really a separate hardware entity and has its own VLAN membership settings, would end up being egress-untagged in both VID 1 and VID 2, therefore losing the VLAN tags of ingress traffic). So the only thing we can do is to create a helper function for resolving the problematic case (that is, a function which untags the bridge pvid when that is in vlan_filtering=0 mode), which taggers in need should call. It isn't called from the generic DSA receive path because there are drivers that fall neither in the first nor second category.

While the switch driver is written such that port 5 or 8 could be CPU ports, the use case on Broadcom STB chips is to use port 8 exclusively. The platform firmware does make port 5 comply to a proper DSA CPU port binding by specifiying an "ethernet" phandle. This is undesirable for now until we have an user-space configuration mechanism (such as devlink) which could support dynamically changing the port flavor at run time.

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.

Adding support to perform CT related tc actions and matching on CT states for nic flows. The ct flows management and handling will be done using a new instance of the ct database that is declared in this patch to keep it separate from the eswitch ct flows database. Offloading and unoffloading ct flows will be done using the existing ct offload api by providing it the relevant ct database reference in each mode. In addition, refactoring the tc ct api is introduced to make it agnostic to the flow type and perform the resource allocations and rule insertion to the proper steering domain in the device. In the initialization call, the api requests and stores in the ct database instance all the relevant information that distinguishes between nic flows and esw flows, such as chains database, steering namespace and mod hdr table. This way the operations of adding and removing ct flows to the device can later performed agnostically to the flow type.

Allow adding nic tc flow rules with goto chain action. Connecting the nic flows to the mlx5 chains infrastructure in previous patches allows us to support the creation of chained flow tables and rules that direct to another chain for further packet processing. This is a required preparation to support CT offloads for nic tc flows. We allow the creation of 256 different chains for nic flows since we have 8 bits available for the chain restore tag in case of a miss.

In order to support chains and connection tracking offload for nic flows, there's a need to introduce a common flow attributes struct so that these features can be agnostic and have access to a single attributes struct, regardless of the flow type. Therefore, a new tc flow attributes format is introduced to allow access to attributes that are common to eswitch and nic flows. The common attributes will always get allocated for the new flows, regardless of their type, while the type specific attributes are separated into different structs and will be allocated based on the flow type to avoid memory waste. When allocating the flow attributes the caller provides the flow steering namespace and according the namespace type the additional space for the extra, type specific, attributes is determined and added to the total attribute allocation size. In addition, the attributes that are going to be common to both flow types are moved to the common attributes struct.

For future support of CT offload with nic tc flows, where the flow rule is not created immediately but rather following a future event, the patch is splitting the nic rule creation and deletion into 2 parts: 1. Creating/Deleting and setting the rule attributes. 2. Creating/Deleting the flow table and flow rule itself. This way the attributes can be prepared and stored in the flow handle when the tc flow is created but the rule can actually be created at any point in the future, using these pre allocated attributes.
