Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25 This series represents yet another phase of the macvlan cleanup Alex has been working on. The main goal of these changes is to make it so that we only support offloading what we can actually offload and we don't break any existing functionality. So for example we were claiming to advertise source mode macvlan and we were doing nothing of the sort, so support for that has been dropped. The biggest change with this set is that broadcast/multicast replication is no longer being supported in software. Alex dropped it as it leads to scaling issues when a broadcast frame has to be replicated up to 64 times. Beyond that this set goes through and optimized the time needed to bring up and tear down the macvlan interfaces on ixgbe and provides a clean way for us to disable the macvlan offload when needed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== nfp: flower tc block support and nfp PCI updates This series improves the nfp PCIe code by making use of the new pcie_print_link_status() helper and resetting NFP locks when driver loads. This can help us avoid lock ups after host crashes and is rebooted with PCIe reset or when kdump kernel is loaded. The flower changes come from John, he says: This patchset fixes offload issues when multiple repr netdevs are bound to a tc block and filter rules added. Previously the rule would be passed to the reprs and would be rejected in all but the first as the cookie value will indicate a duplicate. The first patch extends the flow lookup function to consider both host context and ingress netdev along with the cookie value. This means that a rule with a given cookie can exist multiple times assuming the ingress netdev is different. The host context ensures that stats from fw are associated with the correct instance of the rule. The second patch protects against rejecting add/del/stat messages when a rule has a repr as both an ingress port and an egress dev. In such cases a callback can be triggered twice (once for ingress and once for egress) and can lead to duplicate rule detection or incorrect double calls. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

If a flower rule has a repr both as ingress and egress port then 2 callbacks may be generated for the same rule request. Add an indicator to each flow as to whether or not it was added from an ingress registered cb. If so then ignore add/del/stat requests to it from an egress cb.

When multiple netdevs are attached to a tc offload block and register for callbacks, a rule added to the block will be propogated to all netdevs. Previously these were detected as duplicates (based on cookie) and rejected. Modify the rule nfp lookup function to optionally include an ingress netdev and a host context along with the cookie value when searching for a rule. When a new rule is passed to the driver, the netdev the rule is to be attached to is considered when searching for dublicates. When a stats update is received from HW, the host context is used alongside the cookie to map to the correct host rule.

NFP locks record the owner when held, for PCIe devices the owner ID will be the PCIe link number. When driver loads it should scan known locks and if they indicate that they are held by local endpoint but the driver doesn't hold them - release them. Locks can be left taken for instance when kernel gets kexec-ed or after a crash. Management FW tries to clean up stale locks too, but it currently depends on PCIe link going down which doesn't always happen.

It's currently written as: if (!tchunk->tsn_gap_acked) { [1] tchunk->tsn_gap_acked = 1; ... } if (TSN_lte(tsn, sack_ctsn)) { if (!tchunk->tsn_gap_acked) { /* SFR-CACC processing */ ... } } Which causes the SFR-CACC processing on ack reception to never process, as tchunk->tsn_gap_acked is always true by then. Block [1] was moved to that position by the commit marked below. This patch fixes it by doing SFR-CACC processing earlier, before tsn_gap_acked is set to true.

ECMP (equal-cost multipath) hashes are typically computed on the packets' 5-tuple(src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port, L4 proto). For encapsulated packets, the L4 data is not readily available and ECMP hashing will often revert to (src IP, dst IP). This will lead to traffic polarization on a single ECMP path, causing congestion and waste of network capacity. In IPv6, the 20-bit flow label field is also used as part of the ECMP hash. In the lack of L4 data, the hashing will be on (src IP, dst IP, flow label). Having a non-zero flow label is thus important for proper traffic load balancing when L4 data is unavailable (i.e., when packets are encapsulated). Currently, the seg6_do_srh_encap() function extracts the original packet's flow label and set it as the outer IPv6 flow label. There are two issues with this behaviour: a) There is no guarantee that the inner flow label is set by the source. b) If the original packet is not IPv6, the flow label will be set to zero (e.g., IPv4 or L2 encap). This patch adds a function, named seg6_make_flowlabel(), that computes a flow label from a given skb. It supports IPv6, IPv4 and L2 payloads, and leverages the per namespace 'seg6_flowlabel" sysctl value. The currently support behaviours are as follows: -1 set flowlabel to zero. 0 copy flowlabel from Inner paceket in case of Inner IPv6 (Set flowlabel to 0 in case IPv4/L2) 1 Compute the flowlabel using seg6_make_flowlabel() This patch has been tested for IPv6, IPv4, and L2 traffic.

The original implementation for macvlan offload has us performing a full port reset every time we added a new macvlan. This shouldn't be necessary and can be avoided with a few behavior changes. This patches updates the logic for the queues so that we have essentially 3 possible configurations for macvlan offload. They consist of 15 macvlans with 4 queues per macvlan, 31 macvlans with 2 queues per macvlan, and 63 macvlans with 1 queue per macvlan. As macvlans are added you will encounter up to 3 total resets if you add all the way up to 63, and after that the device will stay in the mode supporting up to 63 macvlans until the L2FW flag is cleared.

This change makes it so that we use a software path for packets that are going to be locally switched between two macvlan interfaces on the same device. In addition we resort to software replication of broadcast and multicast packets instead of offloading that to hardware. The general idea is that using the device for east/west traffic local to the system is extremely inefficient. We can only support up to whatever the PCIe limit is for any given device so this caps us at somewhere around 20G for devices supported by ixgbe. This is compounded even further when you take broadcast and multicast into account as a single 10G port can come to a crawl as a packet is replicated up to 60+ times in some cases. In order to get away from that I am implementing changes so that we handle broadcast/multicast replication and east/west local traffic all in software.

Colin Ian King fixes the return value on error for the new XDP support that went into ixgbevf for 4.17. Vinicius provides a fix for queue 0 for igb, which was not receiving all the credits it needed when QAV mode was enabled. Anirudh provides several fixes for the new ice driver, starting with properly initializing num_nodes_added to zero. Fixed up a code comment to better reflect what is really going on in the code. Fixed how to detect if an OICR interrupt has occurred to a more reliable method. Md Fahad fixes the ice driver to allocate the right amount of memory when reading and storing the devices MAC addresses. The device can have up to 2 MAC addresses (LAN and WoL), while WoL is currently not supported, we need to ensure it can be properly handled when support is added. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

NTP server IP addresses are written to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. Changes from v1: - David requested that a new directory /proc/net/ipconfig be created to contain ipconfig-related configuration reports, which is implemented in the new patch #7. NTP server IPs are now written to this directory instead of /proc/net/ntp in the new patch #8. - Cong and David both requested that the modification to CREDITS be dropped.

Distributed filesystems are most effective when the server and client clocks are synchronised. Embedded devices often use NFS for their root filesystem but typically do not contain an RTC, so the clocks of the NFS server and the embedded device will be out-of-sync when the root filesystem is mounted (and may not be synchronised until late in the boot process). Extend ipconfig with the ability to export IP addresses of NTP servers it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers. They can be supplied as follows: - If ipconfig is configured manually via the "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters, one NTP server can be specified in the new "<ntp0-ip>" parameter. - If ipconfig is autoconfigured via DHCP, request DHCP option 42 in the DHCPDISCOVER message, and record the IP addresses of up to three NTP servers sent by the responding DHCP server in the subsequent DHCPOFFER message. ipconfig will only write the NTP server IP addresses it discovers to /proc/net/ipconfig/ntp_servers, one per line (in the order received from the DHCP server, if DHCP autoconfiguration is used); making use of these NTP servers is the responsibility of a user space process (e.g. an initrd/initram script that invokes an NTP client before mounting an NFS root filesystem).

ic_nameservers, which stores the list of name servers discovered by ipconfig, is initialised (i.e. has all of its elements set to NONE, or 0xffffffff) by ic_nameservers_predef() in the following scenarios: - before the "ip=" and "nfsaddrs=" kernel command line parameters are parsed (in ip_auto_config_setup()); - before autoconfiguring via DHCP or BOOTP (in ic_bootp_init()), in order to clear any values that may have been set after parsing "ip=" or "nfsaddrs=" and are no longer needed. This means that ic_nameservers_predef() is not called when neither "ip=" nor "nfsaddrs=" is specified on the kernel command line. In this scenario, every element in ic_nameservers remains set to 0x00000000, which is indistinguishable from ANY and causes pnp_seq_show() to write the following (bogus) information to /proc/net/pnp: #MANUAL nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 0.0.0.0 nameserver 0.0.0.0 This is potentially problematic for systems that blindly link /etc/resolv.conf to /proc/net/pnp. Ensure that ic_nameservers is also initialised when neither "ip=" nor "nfsaddrs=" are specified by calling ic_nameservers_predef() in ip_auto_config(), but only when ip_auto_config_setup() was not called earlier. This causes the following to be written to /proc/net/pnp, and is consistent with what gets written when ipconfig is configured manually but no name servers are specified on the kernel command line: #MANUAL Signed-off-by: Chris Novakovic <chris@chrisn.me.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.
