This patch handles the following two changes w.r.t. is_fw_table function: 1. When SW steering is asked to create/destroy FW table, we allow for creation/destruction of only termination tables. Rename mlx5_dr_is_fw_table both to comply with the static function naming and to reflect that we're actually checking for FW termination table. 2. When the action 'go to flow table' is created, the destination flow table can be any FW table, not only termination table. Adding function to check if the dest table is FW table. This function will also be used by the later creation of range match action, so putting it the header file.

SW steering is able to match only on the exact values of the packet fields, as requested by the user: the user provides mask for the fields that are of interest, and the exact values to be matched on when the traffic is handled. Match Definer is a general FW object that defines which fields in the packet will be referenced by the mask and tag of each STE. Match definer ID is part of STE fields, and it defines how the HW needs to interpret the STE's mask/tag values. Till now SW steering used the definers that were managed by FW and implemented the STE layout as described by the HW spec. Now that we're adding a new type of STE, SW steering needs to define for the HW how it should interpret this new STE's layout. This is done with a programmable match definer. The programmable definer allows to selects which fields will be included in the definer, and their layout: it has up to 9 DW selectors 8 Byte selectors. Each selector indicates a DW/Byte worth of fields out of the table that is defined by HW spec by referencing the offset of the required DW/Byte. This patch adds dr_cmd function to create and destroy MATCH_DEFINER general object.

Range is a new flow destination type which allows matching on a range of values instead of matching on a specific value. Range flow destination has the following fields: - hit_ft: flow table to forward the traffic in case of hit - miss_ft: flow table to forward the traffic in case of miss - field: which packet characteristic to match on - min: minimal value for the selected field - max: maximal value for the selected field Note: - In order to match, the value in the packet should meet the following criteria: min <= value < max - Currently, the only supported field type is L2 packet length Signed-off-by: Yevgeny Kliteynik <kliteyn@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Vesker <valex@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Mark Bloch <mbloch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>

Google production kernel has increased MAX_SKB_FRAGS to 45 for BIG-TCP rollout. Unfortunately mlx4 TX bounce buffer is not big enough whenever an skb has up to 45 page fragments. This can happen often with TCP TX zero copy, as one frag usually holds 4096 bytes of payload (order-0 page). Tested: Kernel built with MAX_SKB_FRAGS=45 ip link set dev eth0 gso_max_size 185000 netperf -t TCP_SENDFILE I made sure that "ethtool -G eth0 tx 64" was properly working, ring->full_size being set to 15.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Support tc police jump conform-exceed attribute The tc police action conform-exceed option defines how to handle packets which exceed or conform to the configured bandwidth limit. One of the possible conform-exceed values is jump, which skips over a specified number of actions. This series adds support for conform-exceed jump action. The series adds platform support for branching actions by providing true/false flow attributes to the branching action. This is necessary for supporting police jump, as each branch may execute a different action list. The first five patches are preparation patches: - Patches 1 and 2 add support for actions with no destinations (e.g. drop) - Patch 3 refactor the code for subsequent function reuse - Patch 4 defines an abstract way for identifying terminating actions - Patch 5 updates action list validations logic considering branching actions The following three patches introduce an interface for abstracting branching actions: - Patch 6 introduces an abstract api for defining branching actions - Patch 7 generically instantiates the branching flow attributes using the abstract API Patch 8 adds the platform support for jump actions, by executing the following sequence: a. Store the jumping flow attr b. Identify the jump target action while iterating the actions list. c. Instantiate a new flow attribute after the jump target action. This is the flow attribute that the branching action should jump to. d. Set the target post action id on: d.1. The jumping attribute, thus realizing the jump functionality. d.2. The attribute preceding the target jump attr, if not terminating. The next patches apply the platform's branching attributes to the police action: - Patch 9 is a refactor patch - Patch 10 initializes the post meter table with the red/green flow attributes, as were initialized by the platform - Patch 11 enables the offload of meter actions using jump conform-exceed value. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221203221337.29267-1-saeed@kernel.org/Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Add PM handlers for System suspend/resume. As DMA driver doesn't yet support suspend/resume we free up the DMA channels at suspend and acquire and initialize them at resume. In this revised approach we do not free the TX/RX IRQs at am65_cpsw_nuss_common_stop() as it causes problems. We will now free them only on .suspend() as we need to release the DMA channels (as DMA looses context) and re-acquiring them on .resume() may not necessarily give us the same IRQs. To make this easier: - introduce am65_cpsw_nuss_remove_rx_chns() which is similar to am65_cpsw_nuss_remove_tx_chns(). These will be invoked in pm.suspend() to release the DMA channels and free up the IRQs. - move napi_add() and request_irq() calls to am65_cpsw_nuss_init_rx/tx_chns() so we can invoke them in pm.resume() to acquire the DMA channels and IRQs. As CPTS looses contect during suspend/resume, invoke the necessary CPTS suspend/resume helpers. ALE_CLEAR command is issued in cpsw_ale_start() so no need to issue it before the call to cpsw_ale_start().

Shay Drory says: ==================== devlink: Add port function attribute to enable/disable Roce and migratable This series is a complete rewrite of the series "devlink: Add port function attribute to enable/disable roce" link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20221102163954.279266-1-danielj@nvidia.com/ Currently mlx5 PCI VF and SF are enabled by default for RoCE functionality. And mlx5 PCI VF is disable by dafault for migratable functionality. Currently a user does not have the ability to disable RoCE for a PCI VF/SF device before such device is enumerated by the driver. User is also incapable to do such setting from smartnic scenario for a VF from the smartnic. Current 'enable_roce' device knob is limited to do setting only at driverinit time. By this time device is already created and firmware has already allocated necessary system memory for supporting RoCE. Also, Currently a user does not have the ability to enable migratable for a PCI VF. The above are a hyper visor level control, to set the functionality of devices passed through to guests. This is achieved by extending existing 'port function' object to control capabilities of a function. This enables users to control capability of the device before enumeration. Examples when user prefers to disable RoCE for a VF when using switchdev mode: $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1 pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev pf0vf0 flavour pcivf controller 0 pfnum 0 vfnum 0 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce enable $ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/1 roce disable $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1 pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev pf0vf0 flavour pcivf controller 0 pfnum 0 vfnum 0 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 roce disable FAQs: ----- 1. What does roce enable/disable do? Ans: It disables RoCE capability of the function before its enumerated, so when driver reads the capability from the device firmware, it is disabled. At this point RDMA stack will not be able to create UD, QP1, RC, XRC type of QPs. When RoCE is disabled, the GID table of all ports of the device is disabled in the device and software stack. 2. How is the roce 'port function' option different from existing devlink param? Ans: RoCE attribute at the port function level disables the RoCE capability at the specific function level; while enable_roce only does at the software level. 3. Why is this option for disabling only RoCE and not the whole RDMA device? Ans: Because user still wants to use the RDMA device for non RoCE commands in more memory efficient way. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20221206185119.380138-1-shayd@nvidia.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Expose port function commands to enable / disable migratable capability, this is used to set the port function as migratable. Live migration is the process of transferring a live virtual machine from one physical host to another without disrupting its normal operation. In order for a VM to be able to perform LM, all the VM components must be able to perform migration. e.g.: to be migratable. In order for VF to be migratable, VF must be bound to VFIO driver with migration support. When migratable capability is enabled for a function of the port, the device is making the necessary preparations for the function to be migratable, which might include disabling features which cannot be migrated. Example of LM with migratable function configuration: Set migratable of the VF's port function. $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2 pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1 function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable disable $ devlink port function set pci/0000:06:00.0/2 migratable enable $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/2 pci/0000:06:00.0/2: type eth netdev enp6s0pf0vf1 flavour pcivf pfnum 0 vfnum 1 function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 migratable enable Bind VF to VFIO driver with migration support: $ echo <pci_id> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/unbind $ echo mlx5_vfio_pci > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver_override $ echo <pci_id> > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:08:00.0/driver/bind Attach VF to the VM.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== bridge: mcast: Preparations for EVPN extensions This patchset was split from [1] and includes non-functional changes aimed at making it easier to add additional netlink attributes later on. Future extensions are available here [2]. The idea behind these patches is to create an MDB configuration structure into which netlink messages are parsed into. The structure is then passed in the entry creation / deletion call chain instead of passing the netlink attributes themselves. The same pattern is used by other rtnetlink objects such as routes and nexthops. I initially tried to extend the current code, but it proved to be too difficult, which is why I decided to refactor it to the extensible and familiar pattern used by other rtnetlink objects. Tested using existing selftests and using a new selftest that will be submitted together with the planned extensions.
