The current flow for adding or updating the PVID for a VF uses i40e_vsi_add_vlan and i40e_vsi_kill_vlan which each take, then release the hash lock. In addition the two functions also must take special care that they do not perform VLAN mode changes as this will make the code in i40e_ndo_set_vf_port_vlan behave incorrectly. Fix these issues by using the new helper functions i40e_add_vlan_all_mac and i40e_rm_vlan_all_mac which expect the hash lock to already be taken. Additionally these functions do not perform any state updates in regards to VLAN mode, so they are safe to use in the PVID update flow. It should be noted that we don't need the VLAN mode update code here, because there are only a few flows here. (a) we're adding a new PVID In this case, if we already had VLAN filters the VSI is knocked offline so we don't need to worry about pre-existing VLAN filters (b) we're replacing an existing PVID In this case, we can't have any VLAN filters except those with the old PVID which we already take care of manually. (c) we're removing an existing PVID Similarly to above, we can't have any existing VLAN filters except those with the old PVID which we already take care of correctly. Because of this, we do not need (or even want) the special accounting done in i40e_vsi_add_vlan, so use of the helpers is a saner alternative. It also opens the door for a future patch which will refactor the flow of i40e_vsi_add_vlan now that it is not needed in this function.

A future refactor of how the PF assigns a PVID to a VF will want to be able to add and remove a block of filters by VLAN without worrying about accidentally triggering the accounting for I40E_VLAN_ANY. Additionally the PVID assignment would like to be able to batch several changes under one use of the mac_filter_hash_lock. Factor out the addition and deletion of a VLAN on all MACs into their own function which i40e_vsi_(add|kill)_vlan can use. These new functions expect the caller to take the hash lock, as well as perform any necessary accounting for updating I40E_VLAN_ANY filters if we are now operating under VLAN mode.

Fix a subtle issue with the code for converting VID=-1 filters into VID=0 filters when adding a new VLAN. Previously the code deleted the VID=-1 filter, and then added a new VID=0 filter. In the rare case that the addition fails due to -ENOMEM, we end up completely deleting the filter which prevents recovery if memory pressure subsides. While it is not strictly an issue because it is likely that memory issues would result in many other problems, we shouldn't delete the filter until after the addition succeeds.

The current caller of i40e_update_filter_state incorrectly passes aq_ret, an i40e_status variable, instead of the expected aq_err. This happens to work because i40e_status is actually just a typedef integer, and 0 is still the successful return. However i40e_update_filter_state has special handling for ENOSPC which is currently being ignored. Also notice that firmware does not update the per-filter response for many types of errors, such as EINVAL. Thus, modify the filter setup so that the firmware response memory is pre-set with I40E_AQC_MM_ERR_NO_RES. This enables us to refactor i40e_update_filter_state, removing the need to pass aq_err and avoiding a need for having 3 different flows for checking the filter state. The resulting code for i40e_update_filter_state is much simpler, only a single loop and we always check each filter response value every time. Since we pre-set the response value to match our expected error this correctly works for all success and error flows.

Previous code refactors have accidentally caused issues with the counting of active_filters. Avoid similar issues in the future by simply re-counting the active filters every time after we handle add and delete of all the filters. Additionally this allows us to simplify the check for when we exit promiscuous mode since we can combine the check for failed filters at the same time. Additionally since we recount filters at the end we need to set vsi->promisc_threshold as well. The resulting code takes a bit longer since we do have to loop over filters again. However, the result is more readable and less likely to become incorrect due to failed accounting of filters in the future. Finally, this ensures that it is not possible for vsi->active_filters to ever underflow since we never decrement it.

The service task lock was being set in the scheduling function, not the actual service task. This would potentially leave the bit set for a long time before the task actually ran. Furthermore, if the service task takes too long, it calls the schedule function to reschedule itself - which would fail to take the lock and do nothing. Instead, set and clear the lock bit in the service task itself. In the process, get rid of the i40e_service_event_complete() function, which is really just two lines of code that can be put right in the service task itself.

Add support for 25G devices - defines and data structures. One tricky part here is that the firmware support for these Devices introduces a mismatch between the PHY type enum and the bitfields for the phy types. This change creates a macro and uses it to increment the 25G PHY values when creating 25G bitfields.

The netdev->dev_addr MAC filter already exists in the MAC/VLAN hash table, as it is added when we configure the netdev in i40e_configure_netdev. Because we already know that this address will be updated in the hash_for_each loops, we do not need to handle it specially. This removes duplicate code and simplifies the i40e_vsi_add_vlan and i40e_vsi_kill_vlan functions. Because we know these filters must be part of the MAC/VLAN hash table, this should not have any functional impact on what filters are included and is merely a code simplification.

A previous commit 53cb6e9e ("i40e: Removal of workaround for simple MAC address filter deletion") removed a workaround for some firmware versions which was reported to not be necessary in production NICs. Unfortunately this workaround is necessary in some configurations, specifically the Ethernet Controller XL710 for 40GbE QSFP+ (8086:1583). Without this patch, the mentioned NICs with current firmware exhibit issues when adding VLANs, as outlined by the following reproduction: $modprobe i40e $ip link set <device> up $ip link add link <device> vlan100 type vlan id 100 $dmesg | tail <snip> kernel: i40e 0000:82:00.0: Error I40E_AQ_RC_EINVAL adding RX filters on PF, promiscuous mode forced on This results in filters being marked as FAILED and setting the device in promiscuous mode. The root cause of receiving the -EINVAL error response appears to be due to a conflict with the default MAC filter which still exists on the default firmware for this device. Attempting to add a new VLAN filter on the default MAC address conflicts with the IGNORE_VLAN setting on the default rule.

This patch changes tun.c to call netif_receive_skb instead of netif_rx when a packet is received (if CONFIG_4KSTACKS is not enabled to avoid stack exhaustion). The difference between the two is that netif_rx queues the packet into the backlog, and netif_receive_skb proccesses the packet in the current context. This patch is required for syzkaller [1] to collect coverage from packet receive paths, when a packet being received through tun (syzkaller collects coverage per process in the process context). As mentioned by Eric this change also speeds up tun/tap. As measured by Peter it speeds up his closed-loop single-stream tap/OVS benchmark by about 23%, from 700k packets/second to 867k packets/second. A similar patch was introduced back in 2010 [2, 3], but the author found out that the patch doesn't help with the task he had in mind (for cgroups to shape network traffic based on the original process) and decided not to go further with it. The main concern back then was about possible stack exhaustion with 4K stacks.

The shmem hole punching with fallocate(FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE) does not want to race with generating new pages by faulting them in. However, the wait-queue used to delay the page faulting has a serious problem: the wait queue head (in shmem_fallocate()) is allocated on the stack, and the code expects that "wake_up_all()" will make sure that all the queue entries are gone before the stack frame is de-allocated. And that is not at all necessarily the case. Yes, a normal wake-up sequence will remove the wait-queue entry that caused the wakeup (see "autoremove_wake_function()"), but the key wording there is "that caused the wakeup". When there are multiple possible wakeup sources, the wait queue entry may well stay around. And _particularly_ in a page fault path, we may be faulting in new pages from user space while we also have other things going on, and there may well be other pending wakeups. So despite the "wake_up_all()", it's not at all guaranteed that all list entries are removed from the wait queue head on the stack. Fix this by introducing a new wakeup function that removes the list entry unconditionally, even if the target process had already woken up for other reasons. Use that "synchronous" function to set up the waiters in shmem_fault(). This problem has never been seen in the wild afaik, but Dave Jones has reported it on and off while running trinity. We thought we fixed the stack corruption with the blk-mq rq_list locking fix (commit 7fe31130: "blk-mq: update hardware and software queues for sleeping alloc"), but it turns out there was _another_ stack corruptor hiding in the trinity runs. Vegard Nossum (also running trinity) was able to trigger this one fairly consistently, and made us look once again at the shmem code due to the faults often being in that area.

This patch introduces the RX checksum function to check the status of the hardware calculated checksum and its error and appropriately convey status to the upper stack in skb->ip_summed field. In hardware, we only support checksum for the following protocols: 1) IPv4, 2) TCP(over IPv4 or IPv6), 3) UDP(over IPv4 or IPv6), 4) SCTP(over IPv4 or IPv6) but we support many L3(IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, PPPoE etc) and L4(TCP, UDP, GRE, SCTP, IGMP, ICMP etc.) protocols. Hardware limitation: Our present hardware RX Descriptor lacks L3/L4 checksum "Status & Error" bit (which usually can be used to indicate whether checksum was calculated by the hardware and if there was any error encountered during checksum calculation). Software workaround: We do get info within the RX descriptor about the kind of L3/L4 protocol coming in the packet and the error status. These errors might not just be checksum errors but could be related to version, length of IPv4, UDP, TCP etc. Because there is no-way of knowing if it is a L3/L4 error due to bad checksum or any other L3/L4 error, we will not (cannot) convey hardware checksum status(CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY) for such cases to upper stack and will not maintain the RX L3/L4 checksum counters as well.
