To support XDP_TX, we need to add a set of dedicated TX rings, each associated with the NAPI of an RX ring. To assign XDP rings and regular rings in a flexible way, we add a bp->tx_ring_map[] array to do the remapping. The netdev txq index is stored in the new field txq_index so that we can retrieve the netdev txq when handling TX completions. In this patch, before we introduce XDP_TX, the mapping is 1:1. v2: Fixed a bug in bnxt_tx_int(). Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, bnxt_setup_tc() and bnxt_set_channels() have similar and duplicated code to check and reserve rx and tx rings. Add a new function bnxt_reserve_rings() to centralize the logic. This will make it easier to add XDP_TX support which requires allocating a new set of TX rings. Also, the tx ring checking logic in bnxt_setup_msix() can be removed. The rings have been reserved before hand. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In the current code, we have separate rx_event and agg_event parameters to keep track of rx and aggregation events. Combine these events into an u8 event mask with different bits defined for different events. This way, it is easier to expand the logic to include XDP tx events.

Minor refactoring of bnxt_rx_skb() so that it can easily be replaced by a new function that handles packets in a single page. Also, use a function pointer bp->rx_skb_func() to switch to a new function when we add the new mode in the next patch. Add a new field data_ptr that points to the packet data in the bnxt_sw_rx_bd structure. The original data field is changed to void pointer so that it can either hold the kmalloc'ed data or a page pointer. The last parameter of bnxt_rx_skb() which was the length parameter is changed to include the payload offset of the packet in the upper 16 bit. The offset is needed to support the rx page mode and is not used in this existing function. v3: Added a new data_ptr parameter to bp->rx_skb_func(). The caller has the option to modify the starting address of the packet. This will be needed when XDP with headroom support is added. v2: Changed the name of the last parameter to offset_and_len to make the code more clear.

To support setting the pause parameters, the driver can no longer just mirror the PHY. The set_pauseparam feature allows the driver to force the setting in the MAC, regardless of how the PHY is configured. This means that we now need to maintain an internal state for pause frame support, and so get_pauseparam also needs to be updated. If the interface is already running when the setting is changed, then the interface is reset. Note that if the MAC is configured to enable RX pause frame support (i.e. it transmits pause frames to throttle the other end), but the PHY is configured to block those frames, then the feature will not work. Also some buffer size initialization code into emac_init_adapter(), so that it lives with similar code, including the initializtion of pause frame support.

Julian Anastasov says: ==================== net: dst_confirm replacement This patchset addresses the problem of neighbour confirmation where received replies from one nexthop can cause confirmation of different nexthop when using the same dst. Thanks to YueHaibing <yuehaibing@huawei.com> for tracking the dst->pending_confirm problem. Sockets can obtain cached output route. Such routes can be to known nexthop (rt_gateway=IP) or to be used simultaneously for different nexthop IPs by different subnet prefixes (nh->nh_scope = RT_SCOPE_HOST, rt_gateway=0). At first look, there are more problems: - dst_confirm() sets flag on dst and not on dst->path, as result, indication is lost when XFRM is used - DNAT can change the nexthop, so the really used nexthop is not confirmed So, the following solution is to avoid using dst->pending_confirm. The current dst_confirm() usage is as follows: Protocols confirming dst on received packets: - TCP (1 dst per socket) - SCTP (1 dst per transport) - CXGB* Protocols supporting sendmsg with MSG_CONFIRM [ | MSG_PROBE ] to confirm neighbour: - UDP IPv4/IPv6 - ICMPv4 PING - RAW IPv4/IPv6 - L2TP/IPv6 MSG_CONFIRM for other purposes (fix not needed): - CAN Sending without locking the socket: - UDP (when no cork) - RAW (when hdrincl=1) Redirects from old to new GW: - rt6_do_redirect The patchset includes the following changes: 1. sock: add sk_dst_pending_confirm flag - used only by TCP with patch 4 to remember the received indication in sk->sk_dst_pending_confirm 2. net: add dst_pending_confirm flag to skbuff - skb->dst_pending_confirm will be used by all protocols in following patches, via skb_{set,get}_dst_pending_confirm 3. sctp: add dst_pending_confirm flag - SCTP uses per-transport dsts and can not use sk->sk_dst_pending_confirm like TCP 4. tcp: replace dst_confirm with sk_dst_confirm 5. net: add confirm_neigh method to dst_ops - IPv4 and IPv6 provision for slow neigh lookups for MSG_PROBE users. I decided to use neigh lookup only for this case because on MSG_PROBE the skb may pass MTU checks but it does not reach the neigh confirmation code. This patch will be used from patch 6. - xfrm_confirm_neigh: we use the last tunnel address, if present. When there are only transports, the original dest address is used. 6. net: use dst_confirm_neigh for UDP, RAW, ICMP, L2TP - dst_confirm conversion for UDP, RAW, ICMP and L2TP/IPv6 - these protocols use MSG_CONFIRM propagated by ip*_append_data to skb->dst_pending_confirm. sk->sk_dst_pending_confirm is not used because some sending paths do not lock the socket. For MSG_PROBE we use the slow lookup (dst_confirm_neigh). - there are also 2 cases that need the slow lookup: __ip6_rt_update_pmtu and rt6_do_redirect. I hope &ipv6_hdr(skb)->saddr is the correct nexthop address to use here. 7. net: pending_confirm is not used anymore - I failed to understand the CXGB* code, I see dst_confirm() calls but I'm not sure dst_neigh_output() was called. For now I just removed the dst->pending_confirm flag and left all dst_confirm() calls there. Any better idea? - Now may be old function neigh_output() should be restored instead of dst_neigh_output? ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When same struct dst_entry can be used for many different neighbours we can not use it for pending confirmations. The datagram protocols can use MSG_CONFIRM to confirm the neighbour. When used with MSG_PROBE we do not reach the code where neighbour is confirmed, so we have to do the same slow lookup by using the dst_confirm_neigh() helper. When MSG_PROBE is not used, ip_append_data/ip6_append_data will set the skb flag dst_pending_confirm.

Florian Fainelli says: ==================== net: dsa: Support for pdata in dsa2 This is not exactly new, and was sent before, although back then, I did not have an user of the pre-declared MDIO board information, but now we do. Note that I have additional changes queued up to have b53 register platform data for MIPS bcm47xx and bcm63xx. Yes I know that we should have the Orion platforms eventually be converted to Device Tree, but until that happens, I don't want any remaining users of the old "dsa" platform device (hence the previous DTS submissions for ARM/mvebu) and, there will be platforms out there that most likely won't never see DT coming their way (BCM47xx is almost 100% sure, BCM63xx maybe not in a distant future). We would probably want the whole series to be merged via David Miller's tree to simplify things. Thanks! Changes in v5: - dropped changes to drivers/base/ because after more than a month, we cannot get any answer from Greg KH Changes in v4: - Changed device_find_class() to device_find_in_class_name() - Added kerneldoc above device_find_in_class_name() to explain what it does and the calling convention regarding device reference counts - Changed dev_to_net_device to device_to_net_device() added comments about what it does and the caller conventions regarding reference counts Changes in v3: - Tested EPROBE_DEFER from a mockup MDIO/DSA switch driver and everything is fine, once the driver finally probes we have access to platform data as expected - added comment above dsa_port_is_valid() that port->name is mandatory for platform data cases - added an extra check in dsa_parse_member() for a NULL pdata pointer - fixed a bunch of checkpatch errors and warnings Changes in v2: - Rebased against latest net-next/master - Moved dev_find_class() to device_find_class() into drivers/base/core.c - Moved dev_to_net_device into net/core/dev.c - Utilize dsa_chip_data directly instead of dsa_platform_data - Augmented dsa_chip_data to be multi-CPU port ready Changes from last submission (few months back): - rebased against latest net-next - do not introduce dsa2_platform_data which was overkill and was meant to allow us to do exaclty the same things with platform data and Device Tree we use the existing dsa_platform_data instead - properly register MDIO devices when the MDIO bus is registered and associate platform_data with them - add a change to the Orion platform code to demonstrate how this can be used Thank you ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Utilize the ability to pass board specific MDIO bus information towards a particular MDIO device thus allowing us to provide the per-port switch layout to the Marvell 88E6XXX switch driver. Since we would end-up with conflicting registration paths, do not register the "dsa" platform device anymore. Note that the MDIO devices registered by code in net/dsa/dsa2.c does not parse a dsa_platform_data, but directly take a dsa_chip_data (specific to a single switch chip), so we update the different call sites to pass this structure down to orion_ge00_switch_init().

Allow board support code to collect pre-declarations for MDIO devices by registering them with mdiobus_register_board_info(). SPI and I2C buses have a similar feature, we were missing this for MDIO devices, but this is particularly useful for e.g: MDIO-connected switches which need to provide their port layout (often board-specific) to a MDIO Ethernet switch driver.

Allow drivers to use the new DSA API with platform data. Most of the code in net/dsa/dsa2.c does not rely so much on device_nodes and can get the same information from platform_data instead. We purposely do not support distributed configurations with platform data, so drivers should be providing a pointer to a 'struct dsa_chip_data' structure if they wish to communicate per-port layout. Multiple CPUs port could potentially be supported and dsa_chip_data is extended to receive up to one reference to an upstream network device per port described by a dsa_chip_data structure. dsa_dev_to_net_device() increments the network device's reference count, so we intentionally call dev_put() to be consistent with the DT-enabled path, until we have a generic notifier based solution.

Andrew Lunn authored
Unlike most ports, ports 9 and 10 of the 6390X family have configurable PHY modes. Set the mode as part of adjust_link(). Ordering is important, because the SERDES interfaces connected to ports 9 and 10 can be split and assigned to other ports. The CMODE has to be correctly set before the SERDES interface on another port can be configured. Such configuration is likely to be performed in port_enable() and port_disabled(), called on slave_open() and slave_close(). The simple case is port 9 and 10 are used for 'CPU' or 'DSA'. In this case, the CMODE is set via a phy-mode in dsa_cpu_dsa_setup(), which is called early in the switch setup. When ports 9 or 10 are used as user ports, and have a fixed-phy, when the fixed fixed-phy is attached, dsa_slave_adjust_link() is called, which results in the adjust_link function being called, setting the cmode. The port_enable() will for other ports will be called much later. When ports 9 or 10 are used as user ports and have a real phy attached which does not use all the available SERDES interface, e.g. a 1Gbps SGMII, there is currently no mechanism in place to set the CMODE of the port from software. It must be hoped the stripping resistors are correct. At the same time, add a function to get the cmode. This will be needed when configuring the SERDES interfaces.

John Fastabend says: ==================== XDP adjust head support for virtio This series adds adjust head support for virtio. The following is my test setup. I use qemu + virtio as follows, ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 \ -hda /var/lib/libvirt/images/Fedora-test0.img \ -m 4096 -enable-kvm -smp 2 -netdev tap,id=hn0,queues=4,vhost=on \ -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=hn0,mq=on,guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off,guest_ufo=off,vectors=9 In order to use XDP with virtio until LRO is supported TSO must be turned off in the host. The important fields in the above command line are the following, guest_tso4=off,guest_tso6=off,guest_ecn=off,guest_ufo=off Also note it is possible to conusme more queues than can be supported because when XDP is enabled for retransmit XDP attempts to use a queue per cpu. My standard queue count is 'queues=4'. After loading the VM I run the relevant XDP test programs in, ./sammples/bpf For this series I tested xdp1, xdp2, and xdp_tx_iptunnel. I usually test with iperf (-d option to get bidirectional traffic), ping, and pktgen. I also have a modified xdp1 that returns XDP_PASS on any packet to ensure the normal traffic path to the stack continues to work with XDP loaded. It would be great to automate this soon. At the moment I do it by hand which is starting to get tedious. v2: original series dropped trace points after merge. ==================== Acked-by: Michael S.

Add support for XDP adjust head by allocating a 256B header region that XDP programs can grow into. This is only enabled when a XDP program is loaded. In order to ensure that we do not have to unwind queue headroom push queue setup below bpf_prog_add. It reads better to do a prog ref unwind vs another queue setup call. At the moment this code must do a full reset to ensure old buffers without headroom on program add or with headroom on program removal are not used incorrectly in the datapath. Ideally we would only have to disable/enable the RX queues being updated but there is no API to do this at the moment in virtio so use the big hammer. In practice it is likely not that big of a problem as this will only happen when XDP is enabled/disabled changing programs does not require the reset. There is some risk that the driver may either have an allocation failure or for some reason fail to correctly negotiate with the underlying backend in this case the driver will be left uninitialized. I have not seen this ever happen on my test systems and for what its worth this same failure case can occur from probe and other contexts in virtio framework.

For XDP we will need to reset the queues to allow for buffer headroom to be configured. In order to do this we need to essentially run the freeze()/restore() code path. Unfortunately the locking requirements between the freeze/restore and reset paths are different however so we can not simply reuse the code. This patch refactors the code path and adds a reset helper routine. Signed-off-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Acked-by: Jason Wang <jasowang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

For XDP use case and to allow ethtool reset tests it is useful to be able to use reset paths from contexts where rtnl lock is already held. This requries updating virtnet_set_queues and free_receive_bufs the two places where rtnl_lock is taken in virtio_net. To do this we use the following pattern, _foo(...) { do stuff } foo(...) { rtnl_lock(); _foo(...); rtnl_unlock()}; this allows us to use freeze()/restore() flow from both contexts.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== bridge: improve cache utilization This is the first set which begins to deal with the bad bridge cache access patterns. The first patch rearranges the bridge and port structs a little so the frequently (and closely) accessed members are in the same cache line. The second patch then moves the garbage collection to a workqueue trying to improve system responsiveness under load (many fdbs) and more importantly removes the need to check if the matched entry is expired in __br_fdb_get which was a major source of false-sharing. The third patch is a preparation for the final one which If properly configured, i.e. ports bound to CPUs (thus updating "updated" locally) then the bridge's HitM goes from 100% to 0%, but even without binding we get a win because previously every lookup that iterated over the hash chain caused false-sharing due to the first cache line being used for both mac/vid and used/updated fields. Some results from tests I've run: (note that these were run in good conditions for the baseline, everything ran on a single NUMA node and there were only 3 fdbs) 1. baseline 100% Load HitM on the fdbs (between everyone who has done lookups and hit one of the 3 hash chains of the communicating src/dst fdbs) Overall 5.06% Load HitM for the bridge, first place in the list 2. patched & ports bound to CPUs 0% Local load HitM, bridge is not even in the c2c report list Also there's 3% consistent improvement in netperf tests. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
