TC filters come in 3 variants: - no flag (try to process in hardware, but fallback to software)) - skip_hw (do not process filter by hardware) - skip_sw (do not process filter by software) However skip_sw is implemented so that the skip_sw flag can first be checked, after it has been matched. IMHO it's common when using skip_sw, to use it on all rules. So if all filters in a block is skip_sw filters, then we can bail early, we can thus avoid having to match the filters, just to check for the skip_sw flag. This patch adds a bypass, for when only TC skip_sw rules are used. The bypass is guarded by a static key, to avoid harming other workloads. There are 3 ways that a packet from a skip_sw ruleset, can end up in the kernel path. Although the send packets to a non-existent chain way is only improved a few percents, then I believe it's worth optimizing the trap and fall-though use-cases. +----------------------------+--------+--------+--------+ | Test description | Pre- | Post- | Rel. | | | kpps | kpps | chg. | +----------------------------+--------+--------+--------+ | basic forwarding + notrack | 3589.3 | 3587.9 | 1.00x | | switch to eswitch mode | 3081.8 | 3094.7 | 1.00x | | add ingress qdisc | 3042.9 | 3063.6 | 1.01x | | tc forward in hw / skip_sw |37024.7 |37028.4 | 1.00x | | tc forward in sw / skip_hw | 3245.0 | 3245.3 | 1.00x | +----------------------------+--------+--------+--------+ | tests with only skip_sw rules below: | +----------------------------+--------+--------+--------+ | 1 non-matching rule | 2694.7 | 3058.7 | 1.14x | | 1 n-m rule, match trap | 2611.2 | 3323.1 | 1.27x | | 1 n-m rule, goto non-chain | 2886.8 | 2945.9 | 1.02x | | 5 non-matching rules | 1958.2 | 3061.3 | 1.56x | | 5 n-m rules, match trap | 1911.9 | 3327.0 | 1.74x | | 5 n-m rules, goto non-chain| 2883.1 | 2947.5 | 1.02x | | 10 non-matching rules | 1466.3 | 3062.8 | 2.09x | | 10 n-m rules, match trap | 1444.3 | 3317.9 | 2.30x | | 10 n-m rules,goto non-chain| 2883.1 | 2939.5 | 1.02x | | 25 non-matching rules | 838.5 | 3058.9 | 3.65x | | 25 n-m rules, match trap | 824.5 | 3323.0 | 4.03x | | 25 n-m rules,goto non-chain| 2875.8 | 2944.7 | 1.02x | | 50 non-matching rules | 488.1 | 3054.7 | 6.26x | | 50 n-m rules, match trap | 484.9 | 3318.5 | 6.84x | | 50 n-m rules,goto non-chain| 2884.1 | 2939.7 | 1.02x | +----------------------------+--------+--------+--------+ perf top (25 n-m skip_sw rules - pre patch): 20.39% [kernel] [k] __skb_flow_dissect 16.43% [kernel] [k] rhashtable_jhash2 10.58% [kernel] [k] fl_classify 10.23% [kernel] [k] fl_mask_lookup 4.79% [kernel] [k] memset_orig 2.58% [kernel] [k] tcf_classify 1.47% [kernel] [k] __x86_indirect_thunk_rax 1.42% [kernel] [k] __dev_queue_xmit 1.36% [kernel] [k] nft_do_chain 1.21% [kernel] [k] __rcu_read_lock perf top (25 n-m skip_sw rules - post patch): 5.12% [kernel] [k] __dev_queue_xmit 4.77% [kernel] [k] nft_do_chain 3.65% [kernel] [k] dev_gro_receive 3.41% [kernel] [k] check_preemption_disabled 3.14% [kernel] [k] mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_mpwrq_nonlinear 2.88% [kernel] [k] __netif_receive_skb_core.constprop.0 2.49% [kernel] [k] mlx5e_xmit 2.15% [kernel] [k] ip_forward 1.95% [kernel] [k] mlx5e_tc_restore_tunnel 1.92% [kernel] [k] vlan_gro_receive Test setup: DUT: Intel Xeon D-1518 (2.20GHz) w/ Nvidia/Mellanox ConnectX-6 Dx 2x100G Data rate measured on switch (Extreme X690), and DUT connected as a router on a stick, with pktgen and pktsink as VLANs.

Tony Nguyen says: ==================== ice: use less resources in switchdev Michal Swiatkowski says: Switchdev is using one queue per created port representor. This can quickly lead to Rx queue shortage, as with subfunction support user can create high number of PRs. Save one MSI-X and 'number of PRs' * 1 queues. Refactor switchdev slow-path to use less resources (even no additional resources). Do this by removing control plane VSI and move its functionality to PF VSI. Even with current solution PF is acting like uplink and can't be used simultaneously for other use cases (adding filters can break slow-path). In short, do Tx via PF VSI and Rx packets using PF resources. Rx needs additional code in interrupt handler to choose correct PR netdev. Previous solution had to queue filters, it was way more elegant but needed one queue per PRs.

bnxt_rfs_capable() determines the number of VNICs and RSS_CTXs required to support aRFS and then reserves the resources. We already have functions bnxt_get_total_vnics() and bnxt_get_total_rss_ctxs() to do that. Simplify the code by calling these functions.

Romain Gantois says: ==================== Fix missing PHY-to-MAC RX clock There is an issue with some stmmac/PHY combinations that has been reported some time ago in a couple of different series: Clark Wang's report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230202081559.3553637-1-xiaoning.wang@nxp.com/ Clément Léger's report: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20230116103926.276869-4-clement.leger@bootlin.com/ Stmmac controllers require an RX clock signal from the MII bus to perform their hardware initialization successfully. This causes issues with some PHY/PCS devices. If these devices do not bring the clock signal up before the MAC driver initializes its hardware, then said initialization will fail. This can happen at probe time or when the system wakes up from a suspended state. This series introduces new flags for phy_device and phylink_pcs. These flags allow MAC drivers to signal to PHY/PCS drivers that the RX clock signal should be enabled as soon as possible, and that it should always stay enabled. I have included specific uses of these flags that fix the RZN1 GMAC1 stmmac driver that I am currently working on and that is not yet upstream. I have also included changes to the at803x PHY driver that should fix the issue that Clark Wang was having. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240326-rxc_bugfix-v6-0-24a74e5c761f@bootlin.comSigned-off-by:

Stmmac controllers connected to an at803x PHY cannot resume properly after suspend when WoL is enabled. This happens because the MAC requires an RX clock generated by the PHY to initialize its hardware properly. But the RX clock is cut when the PHY suspends and isn't brought up until the MAC driver resumes the phylink. Prevent the at803x PHY driver from going into suspend if the attached MAC driver always requires an RX clock signal. Reported-by:

There is a reocurring issue with stmmac controllers where the MAC fails to initialize its hardware if an RX clock signal isn't provided on the MAC/PHY link. This causes issues when PHY or PCS devices either go into suspend while cutting the RX clock or do not bring the clock signal up early enough for the MAC to initialize successfully. Set the mac_requires_rxc flag in the stmmac phylink config so that PHY/PCS drivers know to keep the RX clock up at all times. Reported-by:

Global stmmac support for early initialization of PCS devices requires a generic PCS reference that can be passed to phylink_pcs_pre_init(). Currently, the mac_device_info struct contains only one PCS field, which is specific to the Lynx model. As PCS models are hardware-specific, it is more appropriate to have a generic PCS field in the mac_device_info struct. Refactor the lynx_pcs field into a generic phylink_pcs field. Signed-off-by:

When initializing attached PHYs, there are some cases where we don't expect any PHY to be connected. The logic uses conditions based on various local PCS configuration, but also calls-in phylink_expects_phy() via stmmac_init_phy(), which is enough to ensure we don't try to initialize a PHY when using a Lynx PCS, as long as we have the phy_interface set to a 802.3z mode and are using inband negociation. Drop the lynx check, making the stmmac generic code more pcs_lynx-agnostic. Signed-off-by:

Some MAC drivers (e.g. stmmac) require a continuous receive clock signal to be generated by a PCS that is handled by a standalone PCS driver. Such a PCS driver does not have access to a PHY device, thus cannot check the PHY_F_RXC_ALWAYS_ON flag. They cannot check max_requires_rxc in the phylink config either, since it is a private member. Therefore, a new flag is needed to signal to the PCS that it should keep the RX clock signal up at all times. Co-developed-by:

Russell King (Oracle) authored
Some MAC controllers (e.g. stmmac) require their connected PHY to continuously provide a receive clock signal. This can cause issues in two cases: 1. The clock signal hasn't been started yet by the time the MAC driver initializes its hardware. This can make the initialization fail, as in the case of the rzn1 GMAC1 driver. 2. The clock signal is cut during a power saving event. By the time the MAC is brought back up, the clock signal is still not active since phylink_start hasn't been called yet. This brings us back to case 1. If a PHY driver reads this flag, it should ensure that the receive clock signal is started as soon as possible, and that it isn't brought down when the PHY goes into suspend. Signed-off-by: -

Both virtchnl2.h and its consumer idpf_virtchnl.c are very error-prone. There are 10 structures with flexible arrays at the end, but 9 of them has flex member counter in Little Endian. Make the code a bit more robust by applying __counted_by_le() to those 9. LE platforms is the main target for this driver, so they would receive additional protection. While we're here, add __counted_by() to virtchnl2_ptype::proto_id, as its counter is `u8` regardless of the Endianness. Compile test on x86_64 (LE) didn't reveal any new issues after applying the attributes. Acked-by:

__napi_alloc_skb() is napi_alloc_skb() with the added flexibility of choosing gfp_mask. This is a NAPI function, so GFP_ATOMIC is implied. The only practical choice the caller has is whether to set __GFP_NOWARN. But that's a false choice, too, allocation failures in atomic context will happen, and printing warnings in logs, effectively for a packet drop, is both too much and very likely non-actionable. This leads me to a conclusion that most uses of napi_alloc_skb() are simply misguided, and should use __GFP_NOWARN in the first place. We also have a "standard" way of reporting allocation failures via the queue stat API (qstats::rx-alloc-fail). The direct motivation for this patch is that one of the drivers used at Meta calls napi_alloc_skb() (so prior to this patch without __GFP_NOWARN), and the resulting OOM warning is the top networking warning in our fleet.

Niklas Söderlund says: ==================== ravb: Support describing the MDIO bus This series adds support to the binding and driver of the Renesas Ethernet AVB to described the MDIO bus. Currently the driver uses the OF node of the device itself when registering the MDIO bus. This forces any MDIO bus properties the MDIO core should react on to be set on the device OF node. This is confusing and none of the MDIO bus properties are described in the Ethernet AVB bindings. Patch 1/2 extends the bindings with an optional mdio child-node to the device that can be used to contain the MDIO bus settings. While patch 2/2 changes the driver to use this node (if present) when registering the MDIO bus. If the new optional mdio child-node is not present the driver fallback to the old behavior and uses the device OF node like before. This change is fully backward compatible with existing usage of the bindings. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240325153451.2366083-1-niklas.soderlund+renesas@ragnatech.seSigned-off-by:

The driver used the DT node of the device itself when registering the MDIO bus. While this works, it creates a problem: it forces any MDIO bus properties to also be set on the devices DT node. This mixes the properties of two distinctly different things and is confusing. This change adds support for an optional mdio node to be defined as a child to the device DT node. The child node can then be used to describe MDIO bus properties that the MDIO core can act on when registering the bus. If no mdio child node is found the driver fallback to the old behavior and register the MDIO bus using the device DT node. This change is backward compatible with old bindings in use. Signed-off-by:

Petr Machata says: ==================== selftests: Fixes for kernel CI As discussed on the bi-weekly call on Jan 30, and in mailing around kernel CI effort, some changes are desirable in the suite of forwarding selftests the better to work with the CI tooling. Namely: - The forwarding selftests use a configuration file where names of interfaces are defined and various variables can be overridden. There is also forwarding.config.sample that users can use as a template to refer to when creating the config file. What happens a fair bit is that users either do not know about this at all, or simply forget, and are confused by cryptic failures about interfaces that cannot be created. In patches #1 - #3 have lib.sh just be the single source of truth with regards to which variables exist. That includes the topology variables which were previously only in the sample file, and any "tweak variables", such as what tools to use, sleep times, etc. forwarding.config.sample then becomes just a placeholder with a couple examples. Unless specific HW should be exercised, or specific tools used, the defaults are usually just fine. - Several net/forwarding/ selftests (and one net/ one) cannot be run on veth pairs, they need an actual HW interface to run on. They are generic in the sense that any capable HW should pass them, which is why they have been put to net/forwarding/ as opposed to drivers/net/, but they do not generalize to veth. The fact that these tests are in net/forwarding/, but still complaining when run, is confusing. In patches #4 - #6 move these tests to a new directory drivers/net/hw. - The following patches extend the codebase to handle well test results other than pass and fail. Patch #7 is preparatory. It converts several log_test_skip to XFAIL, so that tests do not spuriously end up returning non-0 when they are not supposed to. In patches #8 - #10, introduce some missing ksft constants, then support having those constants in RET, and then finally in EXIT_STATUS. - The traffic scheduler tests generate a large amount of network traffic to test the behavior of the scheduler. This demands a relatively high-performance computer. On slow machines, such as with a debugging kernel, the test would spuriously fail. It can still be useful to "go through the motions" though, to possibly catch bugs in setup of the scheduler graph and passing packets around. Thus we still want to run the tests, just with lowered demands. To that end, in patches #11 - #12, introduce an environment variable KSFT_MACHINE_SLOW, with obvious meaning. Tests can then make checks more lenient, such as mark failures as XFAIL. A helper, xfail_on_slow, is provided to mark performance-sensitive parts of the selftest. - In patch #13, use a similar mechanism to mark a NH group stats selftest to XFAIL HW stats tests when run on VETH pairs. - All these changes complicate the hitherto straightforward logging and checking logic, so in patch #14, add a selftest that checks this functionality in lib.sh. v1 (vs. an RFC circulated through linux-kselftest): - Patch #9: - Clarify intended usage by s/set_ret/ret_set_ksft_status/, s/nret/ksft_status/ ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1711464583.git.petrm@nvidia.comSigned-off-by: -

Rerunning various scenarios to make sure lib.sh changes do not impact the observable behavior is no fun. Add a selftest at least for the bare basics -- the mechanics of setting RET, retmsg, and EXIT_STATUS. Since the selftest itself uses lib.sh, it would be possible to break lib.sh in such a way that invalidates result of the selftest. Since the metatest only uses the bare basics (just pass/fail), hopefully such fundamental breakages would be noticed. Signed-off-by:
