Ilias Apalodimas says: ==================== net: netsec: Add XDP Support This is a respin of https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg526066.html Since page_pool API fixes are merged into net-next we can now safely use it's DMA mapping capabilities. First patch changes the buffer allocation from napi/netdev_alloc_frag() to page_pool API. Although this will lead to slightly reduced performance (on raw packet drops only) we can use the API for XDP buffer recycling. Another side effect is a slight increase in memory usage, due to using a single page per packet. The second patch adds XDP support on the driver. There's a bunch of interesting options that come up due to the single Tx queue. Locking is needed(to avoid messing up the Tx queues since ndo_xdp_xmit and the normal stack can co-exist). We also need to track down the 'buffer type' for TX and properly free or recycle the packet depending on it's nature. Changes since RFC: - Bug fixes from Jesper and Maciej - Added page pool API to retrieve the DMA direction Changes since v1: - Use page_pool_free correctly if xdp_rxq_info_reg() failed ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Use page_pool and it's DMA mapping capabilities for Rx buffers instead of netdev/napi_alloc_frag() Although this will result in a slight performance penalty on small sized packets (~10%) the use of the API will allow to easily add XDP support. The penalty won't be visible in network testing i.e ipef/netperf etc, it only happens during raw packet drops. Furthermore we intend to add recycling capabilities on the API in the future. Once the recycling is added the performance penalty will go away. The only 'real' penalty is the slightly increased memory usage, since we now allocate a page per packet instead of the amount of bytes we need + skb metadata (difference is roughly 2kb per packet). With a minimum of 4BG of RAM on the only SoC that has this NIC the extra memory usage is negligible (a bit more on 64K pages) Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

People are inclined to stuff random things into cb->args[n] because it looks like an array of integers. Sometimes people even put u64s in there with comments noting that a certain member takes up two slots. The horror! Really this should mirror the usage of skb->cb, which are just 48 opaque bytes suitable for casting a struct. Then people can create their usual casting macros for accessing strongly typed members of a struct. As a plus, this also gives us the same amount of space on 32bit and 64bit. Signed-off-by: Jason A.

When user has configured a large number of virtual netdev, such as 4K vlans, the carrier on/off operation of the real netdev will also cause it's virtual netdev's link state to be processed in linkwatch. Currently, the processing is done in a work queue, which may cause rtnl locking starvation problem and worker starvation problem for other work queue, such as irqfd_inject wq. This patch releases the cpu when link watch worker has processed a fixed number of netdev' link watch event, and schedule the work queue again when there is still link watch event remaining.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== mlxsw: PTP timestamping support This is the second patchset adding PTP support in mlxsw. Next patchset will add PTP shapers which are required to maintain accuracy under rates lower than 40Gb/s, while subsequent patchsets will add tracepoints and selftests. Petr says: This patch set introduces support for retrieving and processing hardware timestamps for PTP packets. The way PTP timestamping works on Spectrum-1 is that there are two queues associated with each front panel port. When a packet is timestamped, the timestamp is put to one of the queues: timestamps for transmitted packets to one and for received packets to the other. Activity on these queues is signaled through the events PTP_ING_FIFO and PTP_EGR_FIFO. Packets themselves arrive through two traps: PTP0 and PTP1. It is possible to configure which PTP messages should be trapped under which PTP trap. On Spectrum systems, mlxsw will use PTP0 for event messages (which need timestamping), and PTP1 for general messages (which do not). There are therefore four relevant traps: receive of PTP event resp. general message, and receive of timestamp for a transmitted resp. received PTP packet. The obvious point where to put the new logic is a custom listener to the mentioned traps. Besides handling ingress traffic (be in packets or timestamps), the driver also needs to handle timestamping of transmitted packets. One option would be to invoke the relevant logic from mlxsw_core_ptp_transmitted(). However on Spectrum-2, the timestamps are actually delivered through the completion queue, and for that reason this patchset opts to invoke the logic from the PCI code, via core and the driver, to a chip-specific operation. That way the invocation will be done in a place where a Spectrum-2 implementation will have an opportunity to extract the timestamp. As indicated above, the PTP FIFO signaling happens independently from packet delivery. A packet corresponding to any given timestamp could be delivered sooner or later than the timestamp itself. Additionally, the queues are only four elements deep, and it is therefore possible that the timestamp for a delivered packet never arrives at all. Similarly a PTP packet might be dropped due to CPU traffic pressure, and never be delivered even if the corresponding timestamp was. The driver thus needs to hold a cache of as-yet-unmatched SKBs and timestamps. The first piece to arrive (be it timestamp or SKB) is put to this cache. When the other piece arrives, the timestamp is attached to the SKB and that is passed on. A delayed work is run at regular intervals to prune the old unmatched entries. As mentioned above, the mechanism for timestamp delivery changes on Spectrum-2, where timestamps are part of completion queue elements, and all packets are timestamped. All this bookkeeping is therefore unnecessary on Spectrum-2. For this reason, this patchset spends some time introducing Spectrum-1 specific artifacts such as a possibility to register a given trap only on Spectrum-1. Patches #1-#4 describe new registers. Patches #5 and #6 introduce the possibility to register certain traps only on some systems. The list of Spectrum-1 specific traps is left empty at this point. Patch #7 hooks into packet receive path by registering PTP traps and appropriate handlers (that however do nothing of substance yet). Patch #8 adds a helper to allow storing custom data to SKB->cb. Patch #9 adds a call into the PCI completion queue handler that invokes, via core and spectrum code, a PTP transmit handler. (Which also does not do anything interesting yet.) Patch #10 introduces code to invoke PTP initialization and adds data types for the cache of unmatched entries. Patches #11 and #12 implement the timestamping itself. In #11, the PHC spin_locks are converted to _bh variants, because unlike normal PHC path, which runs in process context, timestamp processing runs as soft interrupt. Then #12 introduces the code for saving and retrieval of unmatched entries, invokes PTP classifier to identify packets of interest, registers timestamp FIFO events, and handles decoding and attaching timestamps to packets. Patch #13 introduces a garbage collector for left-behind entries that have not been matched for about a second. In patch #14, PTP message types are configured to arrive as PTP0 (events) or PTP1 (everything else) as appropriate. At this point, the PTP packets start arriving through the traps, but because PTP is disabled and there is no way to enable it yet, they are always just passed to the usual receive path right away. Finally patches #15 and #16 add the plumbing to actually make it possible to enable this code through SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl, and to advertise the hardware timestamping capabilities through ethtool. v2: - Patch #12: - In mlxsw_sp1_ptp_fifo_event_func(), post-increment when iterating over PTP FIFO records. - Patch #14: - Change namespace of message type enumerators from MLXSW_ to MLXSW_SP_. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

On Spectrum-1, timestamped PTP packets and the corresponding timestamps need to be kept in caches until both are available, at which point they are matched up and packets forwarded as appropriate. However, not all packets will ever see their timestamp, and not all timestamps will ever see their packet. It is therefore necessary to dispose of such abandoned entries. To that end, introduce a garbage collector to collect entries that have not had their counterpart turn up within about a second. The GC maintains a monotonously-increasing value of GC cycle. Every entry that is put to the hash table is annotated with the GC cycle at which it should be collected. When the GC runs, it walks the hash table, and collects the objects according to their GC cycle annotation.

On Spectrum-1, timestamps arrive through a pair of dedicated events: MLXSW_TRAP_ID_PTP_ING_FIFO and _EGR_FIFO. The payload delivered with those traps is contents of the timestamp FIFO at a given port in a given direction. Add a Spectrum-1-specific handler for these two events which decodes the timestamps and forwards them to the PTP module. Add a function that parses a packet, dispatching to ptp_classify_raw(), and decodes PTP message type, domain number, and sequence ID. Add a new mlxsw dependency on the PTP classifier. Add helpers that can store and retrieve unmatched timestamps and SKBs to the hash table added in a preceding patch. Add the matching code itself: upon arrival of a timestamp or a packet, look up the corresponding unmatched entry, and match it up. If there is none, add a new unmatched entry. This logic is the same on ingress as on egress. Packets and timestamps that never matched need to be eventually disposed of. A garbage collector added in a follow-up patch will take care of that. Since currently all this code is turned off, no crud will accumulate in the hash table.

Up until now, the PTP hardware clock code was only invoked in the process context (SYS_clock_adjtime -> do_clock_adjtime -> k_clock::clock_adj -> pc_clock_adjtime -> posix_clock_operations::clock_adjtime -> ptp_clock_info::adjtime -> mlxsw_spectrum). In order to enable HW timestamping, which is tied into trap handling, it will be necessary to take the clock lock from the PCI queue handler tasklets as well. Therefore use the _bh variants when handling the clock lock. Incidentally, Documentation/ptp/ptp.txt recommends _irqsave variants, but that's unnecessarily strong for our needs.

On Spectrum-1, timestamps are delivered separately from the packets, and need to paired up. Therefore, at some point after mlxsw_sp_port_xmit() is invoked, it is necessary to involve the chip-specific driver code to allow it to do the necessary bookkeeping and matching. On Spectrum-2, timestamps are delivered in CQE. For that reason, position the point of driver involvement into mlxsw_pci_cqe_sdq_handle() to make it hopefully easier to extend for Spectrum-2 in the future. To tell the driver what port the packet was sent on, keep tx_info in SKB control buffer. Introduce a new driver core interface mlxsw_core_ptp_transmitted(), a driver callback ptp_transmitted, and a PTP op transmitted. The callee is responsible for taking care of releasing the SKB passed to the new interfaces, and correspondingly have the new stub callbacks just call dev_kfree_skb_any(). Follow-up patches will introduce the actual content into mlxsw_sp1_ptp_transmitted() in particular.

The structure is currently empty, individual users will add members to it as necessary. Note that SKB allocation functions already clear the buffer, so the cleanup is only necessary when ndo_start_xmit is called.

When configured, the Spectrum hardware can recognize PTP packets and trap them to the CPU using dedicated traps, PTP0 and PTP1. One reason to get PTP packets under dedicated traps is to have a separate policer suitable for the amount of PTP traffic expected when switch is operated as a boundary clock. For this, add two new trap groups, MLXSW_REG_HTGT_TRAP_GROUP_SP_PTP0 and _PTP1, and associate the two PTP traps with these two groups. In the driver, specifically for Spectrum-1, event PTP packets will need to be paired up with their timestamps. Those arrive through a different set of traps, added later in the patch set. To support this future use, introduce a new PTP op, ptp_receive. It is possible to configure which PTP messages should be trapped under which PTP trap. On Spectrum systems, we will use PTP0 for event packets (which need timestamping), and PTP1 for control packets (which do not). Thus configure PTP0 trap with a custom callback that defers to the ptp_receive op. Additionally, L2 PTP packets are actually trapped through the LLDP trap, not through any of the PTP traps. So treat the LLDP trap the same way as the PTP0 trap. Unlike PTP traps, which are currently still disabled, LLDP trap is active. Correspondingly, have all the implementations of the ptp_receive op return true, which the handler treats as a signal to forward the packet immediately.

On Spectrum-1, timestamps for PTP packets are delivered through queues of ingress and egress timestamps. There are two event traps corresponding to activity on each of those queues. This mechanism is absent on Spectrum-2, and therefore the traps should only be registered on Spectrum-1. Carry a chip-specific listener array in mlxsw_sp->listeners and listeners_count. Register listeners from that array in mlxsw_sp_traps_init(). Add a new listener array for Spectrum-1 traps and configure the newly-added mlxsw_sp->listeners with this array. The listener array is empty for now, the events will be added in a later patch.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-06-28 This series contains a smorgasbord of updates to many of the Intel drivers. Gustavo A. R. Silva updates the ice and iavf drivers to use the strcut_size() helper where possible. Miguel increases the pause and refresh time for flow control in the e1000e driver during reset for certain devices. Dann Frazier fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe driver when using non-IPSec enabled devices. Colin Ian King fixes a potential overflow during a shift in the ixgbe driver. Also fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in the iavf driver by adding a check. Venkatesh Srinivas converts the e1000 driver to use dma_wmb() instead of wmb() for doorbell writes to avoid SFENCEs in the transmit and receive paths. Arjan updates the e1000e driver to improve boot time by over 100 msec by reducing the usleep ranges suring system startup. Artem updates the igb driver register dump in ethtool, first prepares the register dump for future additions of registers in the dump, then secondly, adds the RR2DCDELAY register to the dump. When dealing with time-sensitive networks, this register is helpful in determining your latency from the device to the ring. Alex fixes the ixgbevf driver to use the current cached link state, rather than trying to re-check the value from the PF. Harshitha adds support for MACVLAN offloads in i40e by using channels as MACVLAN interfaces. Detlev Casanova updates the e1000e driver to use delayed work instead of timers to run the watchdog. Vitaly fixes an issue in e1000e, where when disconnecting and reconnecting the physical cable connection, the NIC enters a DMoff state. This state causes a mismatch in link and duplexing, so check the PCIm function state and perform a PHY reset when in this state to resolve the issue. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== em_ipt: add support for addrtype We would like to be able to use the addrtype from tc for ACL rules and em_ipt seems the best place to add support for the already existing xt match. The biggest issue is that addrtype revision 1 (with ipv6 support) is NFPROTO_UNSPEC and currently em_ipt can't differentiate between v4/v6 if such xt match is used because it passes the match's family instead of the packet one. The first 3 patches make em_ipt match only on IP traffic (currently both policy and addrtype recognize such traffic only) and make it pass the actual packet's protocol instead of the xt match family when it's unspecified. They also add support for NFPROTO_UNSPEC xt matches. The last patch allows to add addrtype rules via em_ipt. We need to keep the user-specified nfproto for dumping in order to be compatible with libxtables, we cannot dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as the nfproto or we'll get an error from libxtables, thus the nfproto is limited to ipv4/ipv6 in patch 03 and is recorded. v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping, more information is available in the commit message in patch 03 v2: change patch 02 to set the nfproto only when unspecified and drop patch 04 from v1 (Eyal Birger) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
