      net: ethernet: ti: cpdma: remove used_desc counter · aeec3021
      Grygorii Strashko authored
      The struct cpdma_desc_pool->used_desc field can be safely removed from
      CPDMA driver (and hot patch) because used_descs counter is used just
      for pool consistency check at CPDMA deinitialization and now this
      check can be re-implemnted using gen_pool_size(pool->gen_pool) !=
      gen_pool_avail(pool->gen_pool).
      More over, this will allow to get rid of warnings in
      cpdma_desc_pool_destro()-> WARN_ON(pool->used_desc) which may happen
      because the used_descs is used unprotected, since CPDMA has been
      switched to use genalloc, and may get wrong values on SMP.
      
      Hence, remove used_desc from struct cpdma_desc_pool.

      net/sched/sch_hfsc.c: keep fsc and virtual times in sync; fix an old bug · 678a6241
      Michal Soltys authored
      This patch simplifies how we update fsc and calculate vt from it - while
      keeping the expected functionality identical with how hfsc behaves
      curently. It also fixes a certain issue introduced with
      a very old patch.
      
      The idea is, that instead of correcting cl_vt before fsc curve update
      (rtsc_min) and correcting cl_vt after calculation (rtsc_y2x) to keep
      cl_vt local to the current period - we can simply rely on virtual times
      and curve values always being in sync - analogously to how rsc and usc
      function, except that we use virtual time here.
      
      Why hasn't it been done since the beginning this way ? The likely scenario
      (basing on the code trying to correct curves whenever possible) was to
      keep the virtual times as small as possible - as they have tendency to
      "gallop" forward whenever their siblings and other fair sharing
      subtrees are idling. On top of that, current code is subtly bugged, so
      cumulative time (without any corrections) is always kept and used in
      init_vf() when a new backlog period begins (using cl_cvtoff).
      
      Is cumulative value safe ? Generally yes, though corner cases are easy
      to create. For example consider:
      
      1gbit interface
      some 100kbit leaf, everything else idle
      
      With current tick (64ns) 1s is 15625000 ticks, but the leaf is alone and
      it's virtual time, so in reality it's 10000 times more. ITOW 38 bits are
      needed to hold 1 second. 54 - 1 day, 59 - 1 month, 63 - 1 year (all
      logarithms rounded up). It's getting somewhat dangerous, but also
      requires setup excusing this kind of values not mentioning permanently
      backlogged class for a year. In near most extreme case (10gbit, 10kbit
      leaf), we have "enough" to hold ~13.6 days in 64 bits.
      
      Well, the issue remains mostly theoretical and cl_cvtoff has been
      working fine for all those years. Sensible configuration are de-facto
      immune to this issue, and not so sensible can solve it with a cronjob
      and its period inversely proportional to the insanity of such setup =)
      
      Now let's explain the subtle bug mentioned earlier.
      
      The issue is related to how offsets are kept and how we calculate
      virtual times and update fair service curve(s). The issue itself is
      subtle, but easy to observe with long m1 segments. It was introduced in
      rather old patch:
      
      Commit 99296150: "[NET_SCHED]: O(1) children vtoff adjustment
      in HFSC scheduler"
      
      (available in git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git)
      
      Originally when a new backlog period was started, cl_vtoff of each
      sibling was updated with cl_cvtmax from past period - naturally moving
      all cl_vt to proper starting point. That patch adjusted it so cumulative
      offset is kept in the parent, and there is no need for traversing the
      list (as any subsequent child activation derives new vt from already
      active sibling(s)).
      
      But with this change, cl_vtoff (of each sibling) is no longer persistent
      across the inactivity periods, as it's calculated from parent's
      cl_cvtoff on a new backlog period, conflicting with the following curve
      correction from the previous period:
      
      if (cl->cl_virtual.x == vt) {
              cl->cl_virtual.x -= cl->cl_vtoff;
      	cl->cl_vtoff = 0;
      }
      
      This essentially tries to keep curve as if it was local to the period
      and resets cl_vtoff (cumulative vt offset of the class) to 0 when
      possible (read: when we have an intersection or if a new curve is below
      the old one). But then it's recalculated from cl_cvtoff on next active
      period.  Then rtsc_min() call preceding the above if() doesn't really
      do what we expect it to do in such scenario - as it calculates the
      minimum of corrected curve (from the previous backlog period) and the
      new uncorrected curve (with offset derived from cl_cvtoff).
      
      Example:
      
      tc class add dev $ife parent 1:0 classid 1:1  hfsc ls m2 100mbit ul m2 100mbit
      tc class add dev $ife parent 1:1 classid 1:10 hfsc ls m1 80mbit d 10s m2 20mbit
      tc class add dev $ife parent 1:1 classid 1:11 hfsc ls m2 20mbit
      
      start B, keep it backlogged, let it run 6s (30s worth of vt as A is idle)
      pause B briefly to force cl_cvtoff update in parent (whole 1:1 going idle)
      start A, let it run 10s
      pause A briefly to force rtsc_min()
      
      At this point we would expect A to continue at 20mbit after a brief
      moment of 80mbit. But instead A will use 80mbit for full 10s again. It's
      the effect of first correcting A (during 'start A'), and then - after
      unpausing - calculating rtsc_min() from old corrected and new uncorrected
      curve.
      
      The patch fixes this bug and keepis vt and fsc in sync (virtual times
      are cumulative, not local to the backlog period).

      net/multicast: should not send source list records when have filter mode change · a052517a
      Hangbin Liu authored
      Based on RFC3376 5.1 and RFC3810 6.1
      
         If the per-interface listening change that triggers the new report is
         a filter mode change, then the next [Robustness Variable] State
         Change Reports will include a Filter Mode Change Record.  This
         applies even if any number of source list changes occur in that
         period.
      
         Old State         New State         State Change Record Sent
         ---------         ---------         ------------------------
         INCLUDE (A)       EXCLUDE (B)       TO_EX (B)
         EXCLUDE (A)       INCLUDE (B)       TO_IN (B)
      
      So we should not send source-list change if there is a filter-mode change.
      
      Here are two scenarios:
      1. Group deleted and filter mode is EXCLUDE, which means we need send a
         TO_IN { }.
      2. Not group deleted, but has pcm->crcount, which means we need send a
         normal filter-mode-change.
      
      At the same time, if the type is ALLOW or BLOCK, and have psf->sf_crcount,
      we stop add records and decrease sf_crcount directly

      net: ipconfig: Support using "delayed" DHCP replies · 2647cffb
      Uwe Kleine-König authored
      The dhcp code only waits 1s between sending DHCP requests on different
      devices and only accepts an answer for the device that sent out the last
      request. Only the timeout at the end of a loop is increased iteratively
      which favours only the last device. This makes it impossible to work
      with a dhcp server that takes little more than 1s connected to a device
      that is not the last one.
      
      Instead of also increasing the inter-device timeout, teach the code to
      handle delayed replies.
      
      To accomplish that, make *ic_dev track the current ic_device instead of
      the current net_device and adapt all users accordingly. The relevant
      change then is to reset d to ic_dev on a reply to assert that the
      followup request goes through the right device.

      HW/FW. This is wrong. After the HW/FW error is recovered from, we need the
      complete vids[] array to re-program the vlan list.
      
      Patch 3 fixes the ndo_set_rx_mode() path to avoid unnecessary multicast
      list updates to the FW. Each time the ndo_set_rx_mode() routine is called,
      the driver programs the multicast list in the adapter without checking
      if there are any changes to the list. This leads to a flood of RX_FILTER
      cmds when a number of vlan interfaces are configured over the device,
      as the ndo_ gets called for each vlan interface. To avoid this, we now
      use __dev_mc_sync() and __dev_uc_sync() API, but only to detect if there
      is a change in the mc/uc lists. Now that we use this API, the code has to
      be-designed to issue these API calls for each invocation of the ndo_ call.
      
      Patch 4 replaces polling with sleeping in the FW completion path.
      The ndo_set_rx_mode() and ndo_add/del_vxlan_port() calls may be called with
      BHs disabled. The driver currently issues the required cmds to the FW in
      these contexts and polls on completions from the FW, while BHs remain
      disabled.  This can cause either packet loss or packet reception to be
      delayed on that CPU.  This patch defers processing of the above cmds to a
      separate workqueue. With this change, FW cmds are now issued only in process
      context. Now that the FW cmds are issued only in process context, they can
      sleep waiting for a completion instead of polling.

      Now that the FW cmds are issued only in process context, they can sleep
      waiting for a completion instead of polling. All the spin_lock_bh(mcc_lock)
      calls are now replaced with mutex calls.
      
      Also a new rx_filter_lock is now needed to protect the RX filtering fields
      like vids[] between be_vlan_add/rem_vid() and __be_set_rx_mode() contexts.

      be2net: clear vlan-promisc setting before programming the vlan list · 841f60fc
      Somnath Kotur authored
      The Lancer FW has a bug due to which in some cases vlan-promisc setting
      is cleared eventhough the vlan-list programming did not succeed (via
      VLAN_CONFIG) cmd. The driver has no way of knowing if the vlan-promisc
      mode was cleared or not when this cmd fails. To work around this issue,
      this patch first explicitly clears the vlan-promisc mode via RX_FILTER
      cmd and then tries to program the vlan list.

      Admin should be able to set any state. Currently, this fails
      when lladdr is not changed and state is changed from
      NUD_CONNECTED to NUD_STALE:
      
      ip neigh add 192.168.8.1 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 nud perm dev wlan0
      ip neigh show to 192.168.8.1

      ip neigh show to 192.168.8.1
      192.168.8.1 dev wlan0 lladdr 00:11:22:33:44:55 PERMANENT
      
      Problem may be from 2.1.X days.
