====================
mlx5e-updates-2018-10-10

IPoIB netlink support and mlx5e pre-allocated netdevice initialization

IP link was broken due to the changes in IPoIB for the rdma_netdev
support after commit cd565b4b
("IB/IPoIB: Support acceleration options callbacks").

This patchset fixes IPoIB pkey creation and removal using rtnetlink by
adding support in both IPoIB ULP layer and mlx5 layer:

From Jason and Denis:
1) Introduces changes in the RDMA netdev code in order to
   allow allocation of the netdev to be done by the rtnl netdev code.
2) Reworks IPoIB initialization to use the two step rdma_netdev
   creation.

From Feras and Saeed, mlx5e netdev layer refactoring to allow accepting
pre-allocated netdevs:
3) Adds support to initialize/cleanup netdevs that are not created
   by mlx5 driver.
4) Change mlx5e netdevice layer to accept the pre-allocated netdevice
   queue number.
5) Initialize mlx5e generic structures in one place to be used for all
   netdevs types NIC/representors/IPoIB (both mlx5 allocated and
   pre-allocted).

====================
FDDI: DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter support

 This is an update to <http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/342737/>.  I
believe I have addressed all the requests made in the previous review
round.

 There is still one `checkpatch.pl' warning remaining:

WARNING: quoted string split across lines
+       pr_info("%s: ROM rev. %.4s, firmware rev. %.4s, RMC rev. %.4s, "
+               "SMT ver. %u\n", fp->name, rom_rev, fw_rev, rmc_rev, smt_ver);

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 2458 lines checked

however I think the value of staying within 80 columns is higher than the
value of having the string on a single line.  This is because with all the
formatting specifiers there it is not directly greppable based on the
final output produced to the kernel log on one hand, e.g.:

tc2: ROM rev. 1.0, firmware rev. 1.2, RMC rev. A, SMT ver. 1

while it can be easily tracked down by grepping for an obvious substring
such as "RMC rev" on the other.

 The issue with MMIO barriers I discussed in the course of the original
review turned out mostly irrelevant to this driver, because as I have
learnt in a recent Alpha/Linux discussion starting here:
<https://marc.info/?i=alpine.LRH.2.02.1808161556450.13597%20()%20file01%20!%20intranet%20!%20prod%20!%20int%20!%20rdu2%20!%20redhat%20!%20com>
our MMIO API mandates the `readX' and `writeX' accessors to be strongly
ordered with respect to each other, even if that is not implicitly
enforced by hardware.

 Consequently I have removed all the explicit ordering barriers and
instead submitted a fix for MIPS MMIO implementation, which currently does
not guarantee strong ordering (the MIPS architecture does not define bus
ordering rules except in terms of SYNC barriers), as recorded here:
<https://patchwork.linux-mips.org/project/linux-mips/list/?series=1538>.

 Enforcing strong MMIO ordering can be costly however and is often
unnecessary, e.g. when using PIO to access network frame data in onboard
packet memory.  I have therefore retained the information that would be
lost by the removal of barriers, by defining accessor wrappers suffixed by
`_o' and `_u', for accesses that have to be ordered and can be unordered
respectively.

 If we ever have an API defined for weakly-ordered MMIO accesses, then
these wrappers can be redefined accordingly.  Right now they all expand to
the respective `_relaxed' accessors, because, again, enforcing the
ordering WRT DMA transfers can be costly and we don't need it here except
in one place, where I chose to use explicit `dma_rmb' instead.

 Similarly I have replaced the completion barriers with a read back from
the respective MMIO location (all adapter MMIO registers can be read with
no side effects incurred), which will serve its purpose on the basis of
MMIO being strongly ordered (although a read from TURBOchannel is going to
be slower than `iob', making the delay incurred unnecessarily longer).

 And last but not least, I have split off the SMT Tx network tap support
to a separate change, 2/2 in this series, so that it does not block the
driver proper and can be discussed separately.

 I think it has value in that it makes the view of the outgoing network
traffic complete, as if one actually physically tapped into the outgoing
line of the ring, between the station being examined and its downstream
neighbour.  Without this part only traffic passed from applications
through the whole protocol stack can be captured and this is only a part
of the view.

 With the `dev_queue_xmit_nit' interface now exported it's only
`ptype_all' that remains private, and to define a properly abstracted API
I propose to provide am exported `dev_nit_active' predicate that tells
whether any taps are active.  This predicate is then used accordingly.

 NB if there is a long-term maintenance concern about the `dev_nit_active'
predicate, then well, corresponding inline code currently present in
`xmit_one' has to be maintained anyway, and if the resulting changes
require `defza' to be updated accordingly, then I am going to handle it;
after some 20 years with Linux it's not that I am going to disappear
anywhere anytime.  And once I am dead, which is inevitably going to happen
sooner or later, then the driver can simply be ripped from the kernel.
Though I suspect that at that point no DECstation Linux users may survive
anymore, even though hardware, being as sturdy as it is, likely will.

 I have a patch for `tcpdump' to actually decode SMT frames, which I plan
to upstream sometime.  Here's a sample of SMT traffic captured through the
`defza' driver in a small network of 4 stations and no concentrators,
printed in the most verbose mode:

      FDDI: defza: Support capturing outgoing SMT traffic · 9f9a742d
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored 
      DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA) uses a Tx/Rx queue pair to communicate
SMT frames with adapter's firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC
via the Rx queue is queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for
the firmware to process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue
to supply the driver with SMT frames which are queued back to the Tx
queue for the RMC to send to the ring.

When a network tap is attached to an FDDI interface handled by `defza'
any incoming SMT frames captured are queued to our usual processing of
network data received, which in turn delivers them to any listening
taps.

However the outgoing SMT frames produced by the firmware bypass our
network protocol stack and are therefore not delivered to taps.  This in
turn means that taps are missing a part of network traffic sent by the
adapter, which may make it more difficult to track down network problems
or do general traffic analysis.

Call `dev_queue_xmit_nit' then in the SMT Tx path, having checked that
a network tap is attached, with a newly-created `dev_nit_active' helper
wrapping the usual condition used in the transmit path.

      FDDI: defza: Add support for DEC FDDIcontroller 700 TURBOchannel adapter · 61414f5e
      Maciej W. Rozycki authored 
      Add support for the DEC FDDIcontroller 700 (DEFZA), Digital Equipment
Corporation's first-generation FDDI network interface adapter, made for
TURBOchannel and based on a discrete version of what eventually became
Motorola's widely used CAMEL chipset.

The CAMEL chipset is present for example in the DEC FDDIcontroller
TURBOchannel, EISA and PCI adapters (DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA) that we support
with the `defxx' driver, however the host bus interface logic and the
firmware API are different in the DEFZA and hence a separate driver is
required.

There isn't much to say about the driver except that it works, but there
is one peculiarity to mention.  The adapter implements two Tx/Rx queue
pairs.

Of these one pair is the usual network Tx/Rx queue pair, in this case
used by the adapter to exchange frames with the ring, via the RMC (Ring
Memory Controller) chip.  The Tx queue is handled directly by the RMC
chip and resides in onboard packet memory.  The Rx queue is maintained
via DMA in host memory by adapter's firmware copying received data
stored by the RMC in onboard packet memory.

The other pair is used to communicate SMT frames with adapter's
firmware.  Any SMT frame received from the RMC via the Rx queue must be
queued back by the driver to the SMT Rx queue for the firmware to
process.  Similarly the firmware uses the SMT Tx queue to supply the
driver with SMT frames that must be queued back to the Tx queue for the
RMC to send to the ring.

This solution was chosen because the designers ran out of PCB space and
could not squeeze in more logic onto the board that would be required to
handle this SMT frame traffic without the need to involve the driver, as
with the later DEFTA/DEFEA/DEFPA adapters.

Finally the driver does some Frame Control byte decoding, so to avoid
magic numbers some macros are added to <linux/if_fddi.h>.

      tun: Consistently configure generic netdev params via rtnetlink · df52eab2
      Serhey Popovych authored 
      Configuring generic network device parameters on tun will fail in
presence of IFLA_INFO_KIND attribute in IFLA_LINKINFO nested attribute
since tun_validate() always return failure.

This can be visualized with following ip-link(8) command sequences:

  # ip link set dev tun0 group 100
  # ip link set dev tun0 group 100 type tun
  RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument

with contrast to dummy and veth drivers:

  # ip link set dev dummy0 group 100
  # ip link set dev dummy0 type dummy

  # ip link set dev veth0 group 100
  # ip link set dev veth0 group 100 type veth

Fix by returning zero in tun_validate() when @data is NULL that is
always in case since rtnl_link_ops->maxtype is zero in tun driver.

Fixes: f019a7a5 ("tun: Implement ip link del tunXXX")
