By moving these client drivers to use RPMSG instead of the direct SMD API we can reuse them ontop of the newly added GLINK wire-protocol support found in the 820 and 835 Qualcomm platforms. As the new (RPMSG-based) and old SMD implementations are mutually exclusive we have to change all client drivers in one commit, to make sure we have a working system before and after this transition.

vxlan driver already implicitly supports installing of external fdb entries with NTF_EXT_LEARNED. This patch just makes sure these entries are not aged by the vxlan driver. An external entity managing these entries will age them out. This is consistent with the use of NTF_EXT_LEARNED in the bridge driver.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== Add support for pipeline debug (dpipe) Arkadi says: While doing the hardware offloading process much of the hardware specifics cannot be presented. An example for such is the routing LPM algorithm which differ in hardware implementation from the kernel software implementation. The only information the user receives is whether specific route is offloaded or not, but he cannot really understand the underlying implementation nor get the specific statistics related to that process. Another example is ACL offload using TC which is commonly implemented using TCAM memory. Currently there is no capability to gain visibility into the TCAM structure and to debug suboptimal resource allocation. This patchset introduces capability for exporting the ASICs pipeline abstraction via devlink infrastructure, which should serve as an complementary tool. This infrastructure allows the user to get visibility into the ASIC by modeling it as a set of match/action tables. The main objects defined: Table - abstraction for a single pipeline stage. Contains the available match/actions and counter availability. Entry - entry in a specific table with specific matches/actions values and dedicated counter. Header/field - tuples which describes the tables behavior. As an example one of the ASIC's L3 blocks will be modeled. The egress rif (router interface) table is the final step in the L3 pipeline processing which does match on the internal rif index which was determined before by the routing logic. The erif table determines whether to forward or drop the packet and updates the corresponding rif L3 statistics. To expose this internal resources a special metadata header will be introduced that describes the internal information gathered by the ASIC's pipeline and contains the following fields: rif_port_index, forward and drop. Some internal hardware resources have direct mapping to kernel objects. For example the rif_port_index is mapped to the net-devices ifindex. By providing this mapping the users gains visibility into the offloading process. Follow-up work will include exporting more L3 tables which will give visibility into the routing process. First stage is adding support for dpipe in devlink. Next add support in spectrum driver. Finally implement egress router interface (erif) table for spectrum ASIC as an example. --- v1->v2: Please see individual patches ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Implement dpipe's table ops for erif table which provide: 1. Getting the entries in the table with the associate values. - match on "mlxsw_meta:erif_index" - action on "mlxsw_meta:forwared_out" 2. Synchronize the hardware in case of enabling/disabling counters which mean removing erif counters from all interfaces.

Add definition for egress router interface table. This table describes the final part in the routing pipeline. This table matches the egress interface index (rif index, which is set by the previous stages and determine the out port) and makes the decision of forwarding the packet towards the L2 logic or dropping it. The metadata header is added to represent this internal information. The rif index field is mapped logically to netdevice ifindex.

The pipeline debug is used to export the pipeline abstractions for the main objects - tables, headers and entries. The only support for set is for changing the counter parameter on specific table. The basic structures: Header - can represent a real protocol header information or internal metadata. Generic protocol headers like IPv4 can be shared between drivers. Each driver can add local headers. Field - part of a header. Can represent protocol field or specific ASIC metadata field. Hardware special metadata fields can be mapped to different resources, for example switch ASIC ports can have internal number which from the systems point of view is mapped to netdeivce ifindex. Match - represent specific match rule. Can describe match on specific field or header. The header index should be specified as well in order to support several header instances of the same type (tunneling). Action - represents specific action rule. Actions can describe operations on specific field values for example like set, increment, etc. And header operation like add and delete. Value - represents value which can be associated with specific match or action. Table - represents a hardware block which can be described with match/ action behavior. The match/action can be done on the packets data or on the internal metadata that it gathered along the packets traversal throw the pipeline which is vendor specific and should be exported in order to provide understanding of ASICs behavior. Entry - represents single record in a specific table. The entry is identified by specific combination of values for match/action. Prior to accessing the tables/entries the drivers provide the header/ field data base which is used by driver to user-space. The data base is split between the shared headers and unique headers.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5e-failsafe 27-03-2017 This series provides a fail-safe mechanism to allow safely re-configuring mlx5e netdevice and provides a resiliency against sporadic configuration failures. To enable this we do some refactoring and code reorganizing to allow breaking the drivers open/close flows to stages: open -> activate -> deactivate -> close. In addition we need to allow creating fresh HW ring resources (mlx5e_channels) with their own "new" set of parameters, while keeping the current ones running and active until the new channels are successfully created with the new configuration, and only then we can safly replace (switch) old channels with new ones. For that we introduce mlx5e_channels object and an API to manage it: - channels = open_channels(new_params): open fresh TX/RX channels - activate_channels(channels): redirect traffic to them and attach them to the netdev - deactivate_channes(channels) stop traffic and detach from netdev - close(channels) Free the TX/RX HW resources of those channels With the above strategy it is straightforward to achieve the desired behavior of fail-safe configuration. In pseudo code: make_new_config(new_params) { old_channels = current_active_channels; new_channels = create_channels(new_params); if (!new_channels) return "Failed, but current channels are still active :)" deactivate_channels(old_channels); /* Can't fail */ set_hw_new_state(); /* If needed */ activate_channels(new_channels); /* Can't fail */ close_channels(old_channels); current_active_channels = new_channels; return "SUCCESS"; } At the top of this series, we change the following flows to be fail-safe: ethtool: - ring parameters - coalesce parameters - tx copy break parameters - cqe compressing/moderation mode setting (priv flags) ndos: - tc setup - set features: LRO - change mtu ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Mahesh Bandewar says: ==================== link-status fixes for mii-monitoring The mii monitoring is divided into two phases - inspect and commit. The inspect phase technically should not make any changes to the state and defer it to the commit phase. However detected link state inconsistencies on several machines and discovered that it's the result of some inconsistent update to link states and assumption that you *always* get rtnl-mutex. In reality when trylock() fails to acquire rtnl-mutex, the commit phase is postponed until next mii-mon run. At the next round because of the state change performed in the previous inspect-run, this round does not detect any changes and would skip calling commit phase. This would result in an inconsistent state until next link event happens (if it ever happens). During the the commit phase, it's always assumed that speed and duplex fetch is always successful, but that's always not the case. However the slave state is marked UP irrespective of speed / duplex fetch operation. If the speed / duplex fetch operation results in insane values for either of these two fields, then keeping internal link state UP is not going to provide fruitful results either. Please see into individual patches for more details. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

bond_miimon_commit() marks the link UP after attempting to get the speed and duplex settings for the link. There is a possibility that bond_update_speed_duplex() could fail. This is another place where it could result into an inconsistent bonding link state. With this patch the link will be marked UP only if the speed and duplex values retrieved have sane values and processed further.

bond_update_speed_duplex() retrieves speed and duplex settings. There is a possibility of failure in retrieving these values but caller has to assume it's always successful. This leads to having inconsistent slave link settings. If these (speed, duplex) values cannot be retrieved, then keeping the link UP causes problems. The updated bond_update_speed_duplex() returns 0 on success if it retrieves sane values for speed and duplex. On failure it returns 1 and marks the link down.

The primary issue is that mii-inspect phase updates link-state and expects changes to be committed during the mii-commit phase. After the inspect phase if it fails to acquire rtnl-mutex, the commit phase (bond_mii_commit) doesn't get to run. This partially updated state stays and makes the internal-state inconsistent. e.g. setup bond0 => slaves: eth1, eth2 eth1 goes DOWN -> UP mii_monitor() mii-inspect() bond_set_slave_link_state(eth1, UP, DontNotify) rtnl_trylock() <- fails! Next mii-monitor round eth1: No change mii_monitor() mii-inspect() eth1->link == current-status (ethtool_ops->get_link) no-change-detected End result: eth1: Link = BOND_LINK_UP Speed = 0xfffff [SpeedUnknown] Duplex = 0xff [DuplexUnknown] This doesn't always happen but for some unlucky machines in a large set of machines it creates problems. The fix for this is to avoid making changes during inspect phase and postpone them until acquiring the rtnl-mutex / invoking commit phase.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2017-03-27 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Alex updates the driver code so that we can do bulk updates of the page reference count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. Fixed an issue where we were not resetting skb back to NULL when we have freed it. Cleaned up the i40e_process_skb_fields() to align with other Intel drivers. Removed FCoE code, since it is not supported in any of the Fortville/Fortpark hardware, so there is not much point of carrying the code around, especially if it is broken and untested. Harshitha fixes a bug in the driver where the calculation of the RSS size was not taking into account the number of traffic classes enabled. Robert fixes a potential race condition during VF reset by eliminating IOMMU DMAR Faults caused by VF hardware and when the OS initiates a VF reset and before the reset is finished we modify the VF's settings. Bimmy removes a delay that is no longer needed, since it was only needed for preproduction hardware. Colin King fixes null pointer dereference, where VSI was being dereferenced before the VSI NULL check. Jake fixes an issue with the recent addition of the "client code" to the driver, where we attempt to use an uninitialized variable, so correctly initialize the params variable by calling i40e_client_get_params(). v2: dropped patch 5 of the original series from Carolyn since we need more documentation and reason why the added delay, so Carolyn is taking the time to update the patch before we re-submit it for kernel inclusion. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Probably due to some mis-merging fix a bug associated with commits d7ce6422 ("i40e: don't check params until after checking for client instance", 2017-02-09) and 3140aa9a78c9 ("i40e: KISS the client interface", 2017-03-14) The first commit tried to move the initialization of the params structure so that we didn't bother doing this if we didn't have a client interface. You can already see that it looks fishy because of the indentation. The second commit refactors a bunch of the interface, and incorrectly drops the params initialization. I believe what occurred is that internally the two patches were re-ordered, and the merge conflicts as a result were performed incorrectly. Fix the use of an uninitialized variable by correctly initializing the params variable via i40e_client_get_params().

This is a minor clean-up to make the i40e/i40evf process_skb_fields function look a little more like what we have in igb. The Rx checksum function called out a need for skb->protocol but I can't see where it actually needs it. I am assuming this is something that was likely refactored out some time ago as the Rx checksum code has gone through a few rewrites.

First, this patch eliminates IOMMU DMAR Faults caused by VF hardware. This is done by enabling VF hardware only after VSI resources are freed. Otherwise, hardware could DMA into memory that is (or just has been) being freed. Then, the VF driver is activated only after VSI resources have been reallocated. That's because the VF driver can request resources immediately after it's activated. So they need to be ready at that point. The second race condition happens when the OS initiates a VF reset, and then before it's finished modifies VF's settings by changing its MAC, VLAN ID, bandwidth allocation, anti-spoof checking, etc. These functions needed to be blocked while VF is undergoing reset. Otherwise, they could operate on data structures that had just been freed or not yet fully initialized.

Update the driver code so that we do bulk updates of the page reference count instead of just incrementing it by one reference at a time. The advantage to doing this is that we cut down on atomic operations and this in turn should give us a slight improvement in cycles per packet. In addition if we eventually move this over to using build_skb the gains will be more noticeable. I also found and fixed a store forwarding stall from where we were assigning "*new_buff = *old_buff". By breaking it up into individual copies we can avoid this and as a result the performance is slightly improved.
