Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-06-28 This series contains a smorgasbord of updates to many of the Intel drivers. Gustavo A. R. Silva updates the ice and iavf drivers to use the strcut_size() helper where possible. Miguel increases the pause and refresh time for flow control in the e1000e driver during reset for certain devices. Dann Frazier fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe driver when using non-IPSec enabled devices. Colin Ian King fixes a potential overflow during a shift in the ixgbe driver. Also fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in the iavf driver by adding a check. Venkatesh Srinivas converts the e1000 driver to use dma_wmb() instead of wmb() for doorbell writes to avoid SFENCEs in the transmit and receive paths. Arjan updates the e1000e driver to improve boot time by over 100 msec by reducing the usleep ranges suring system startup. Artem updates the igb driver register dump in ethtool, first prepares the register dump for future additions of registers in the dump, then secondly, adds the RR2DCDELAY register to the dump. When dealing with time-sensitive networks, this register is helpful in determining your latency from the device to the ring. Alex fixes the ixgbevf driver to use the current cached link state, rather than trying to re-check the value from the PF. Harshitha adds support for MACVLAN offloads in i40e by using channels as MACVLAN interfaces. Detlev Casanova updates the e1000e driver to use delayed work instead of timers to run the watchdog. Vitaly fixes an issue in e1000e, where when disconnecting and reconnecting the physical cable connection, the NIC enters a DMoff state. This state causes a mismatch in link and duplexing, so check the PCIm function state and perform a PHY reset when in this state to resolve the issue. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

DMA_API_HOWTO.txt includes an example explaining when dma_sync_single_for_device() is not needed, and that example matches our use case. The buffer isn't changed by the CPU and direction is DMA_FROM_DEVICE, so we can remove the call to dma_sync_single_for_device().

Documentation/DMA-API-HOWTO.txt states: By default, the kernel assumes that your device can address 32-bits of DMA addressing. For a 64-bit capable device, this needs to be increased, and for a device with limitations, it needs to be decreased. Therefore we don't need the 32 Bit DMA fallback configuration and can remove it.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== em_ipt: add support for addrtype We would like to be able to use the addrtype from tc for ACL rules and em_ipt seems the best place to add support for the already existing xt match. The biggest issue is that addrtype revision 1 (with ipv6 support) is NFPROTO_UNSPEC and currently em_ipt can't differentiate between v4/v6 if such xt match is used because it passes the match's family instead of the packet one. The first 3 patches make em_ipt match only on IP traffic (currently both policy and addrtype recognize such traffic only) and make it pass the actual packet's protocol instead of the xt match family when it's unspecified. They also add support for NFPROTO_UNSPEC xt matches. The last patch allows to add addrtype rules via em_ipt. We need to keep the user-specified nfproto for dumping in order to be compatible with libxtables, we cannot dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as the nfproto or we'll get an error from libxtables, thus the nfproto is limited to ipv4/ipv6 in patch 03 and is recorded. v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping, more information is available in the commit message in patch 03 v2: change patch 02 to set the nfproto only when unspecified and drop patch 04 from v1 (Eyal Birger) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Allow em_ipt to use addrtype for matching. Restrict the use only to revision 1 which has IPv6 support. Since it's a NFPROTO_UNSPEC xt match we use the user-specified nfproto for matching, in case it's unspecified both v4/v6 will be matched by the rule. v2: no changes, was patch 5 in v1 Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

If we dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as nfproto user-space libxtables can't handle it and would exit with an error like: "libxtables: unhandled NFPROTO in xtables_set_nfproto" In order to avoid the error return the user-specified nfproto. If we don't record it then the match family is used which can be NFPROTO_UNSPEC. Even if we add support to mask NFPROTO_UNSPEC in iproute2 we have to be compatible with older versions which would be also be allowed to add NFPROTO_UNSPEC matches (e.g. addrtype after the last patch). v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping the rule, also don't allow the nfproto to be unspecified (explained above) v2: adjust changes to missing patch, was patch 04 in v1 Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Harshitha Ramamurthy authored
This patch enables macvlan offloads for i40e. The idea is to use channels as macvlan interfaces. The channels are VSIs of type VMDQ. When the first macvlan is created, the maximum number of channels possible are created. From then on, as a macvlan interface is created, a macvlan filter is added to these already created channels (VSIs). This patch utilizes subordinate device traffic classes to make queue groups(channels) available for an upper device like a macvlan. Steps to configure macvlan offloads: 1. ethtool -K ethx l2-fwd-offload on 2. ip link add link ethx name macvlan1 type macvlan 3. ip addr add <address> dev macvlan1 4. ip link set macvlan1 up Signed-off-by: Harshitha Ramamurthy <harshitha.ramamurthy@intel.com> Tested-by: Andrew Bowers <andrewx.bowers@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

This patch adds the RR2DCDELAY register to the ethtool registers dump. RR2DCDELAY exists on I210 and I211 Intel Gigabit Ethernet chips and it stands for "Read Request To Data Completion Delay". Here is how this register is described in the I210 datasheet: "This field captures the maximum PCIe split time in 16 ns units, which is the maximum delay between the read request to the first data completion. This is giving an estimation of the PCIe round trip time." In other words, whenever I210 reads from the host memory (e.g., fetches a descriptor from the ring), the chip measures every PCI DMA read transaction and captures the maximum value. So it ends up containing the longest DMA transaction time. This register is very useful for troubleshooting and research purposes. If you are dealing with time-sensitive networks, this register can help you get an idea of your "I210-to-ring" latency. This helps answering questions like "should I have PCIe ASPM enabled?" or "should I enable deep C-states?" on my system. It is safe to read this register at any point, reading it has no effect on the I210 chip functionality.

The e1000e driver is a great user of the usleep_range() API, and has nice ranges that in principle help power management. However the ranges that are used only during system startup are very long (and can add easily 100 msec to the boot time) while the power savings of such long ranges is irrelevant due to the one-off, boot only, nature of these functions. This patch shrinks some of the longest ranges to be shorter (while still using a power friendly 1 msec range); this saves 100msec+ of boot time on my BDW NUCs Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Menzel <pmenzel@molgen.mpg.de> Tested-by: Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

e1000 writes to doorbells to post transmit descriptors and fill the receive ring. After writing descriptors to memory but before writing to doorbells, use dma_wmb() rather than wmb(). wmb() is more heavyweight than necessary for a device to see descriptor writes. On x86, this avoids SFENCEs before doorbell writes in both the Tx and Rx paths. On ARM, this converts DSB ST -> DMB OSHST.

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example: struct foo { int stuff; struct boo entry[]; }; size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo); instance = alloc(size, GFP_KERNEL); Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can now use the new struct_size() helper: size = struct_size(instance, entry, count); This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

Vedang Patel says: ==================== net/sched: Add txtime-assist support for taprio. Changes in v6: - Use _BITUL() instead of BIT() in UAPI for etf. (patch #1) - Fix a bug reported by kbuild test bot in length_to_duration(). (patch #6) - Remove an unused function (get_cycle_start()). (Patch #6) Changes in v5: - Commit message improved for the igb patch (patch #1). - Fixed typo in commit message for etf patch (patch #2). Changes in v4: - Remove inline directive from functions in foo.c. - Fix spacing in pkt_sched.h (for etf patch). Changes in v3: - Simplify implementation for taprio flags. - txtime_delay can only be set if txtime-assist mode is enabled. - txtime_delay and flags will only be visible in tc output if set by user. - Minor changes in error reporting. Changes in v2: - Txtime-offload has now been renamed to txtime-assist mode. - Renamed the offload parameter to flags. - Removed the code which introduced the hardware offloading functionality. Original Cover letter (with above changes included) -------------------------------------------------- Currently, we are seeing packets being transmitted outside their timeslices. We can confirm that the packets are being dequeued at the right time. So, the delay is induced after the packet is dequeued, because taprio, without any offloading, has no control of when a packet is actually transmitted. In order to solve this, we are making use of the txtime feature provided by ETF qdisc. Hardware offloading needs to be supported by the ETF qdisc in order to take advantage of this feature. The taprio qdisc will assign txtime (in skb->tstamp) for all the packets which do not have the txtime allocated via the SO_TXTIME socket option. For the packets which already have SO_TXTIME set, taprio will validate whether the packet will be transmitted in the correct interval. In order to support this, the following parameters have been added: - flags (taprio): This is added in order to support different offloading modes which will be added in the future. - txtime-delay (taprio): This indicates the minimum time it will take for the packet to hit the wire after it reaches taprio_enqueue(). This is useful in determining whether we can transmit the packet in the remaining time if the gate corresponding to the packet is currently open. - skip_skb_check (ETF): ETF currently drops any packet which does not have the SO_TXTIME socket option set. This check can be skipped by specifying this option. Following is an example configuration: tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent root handle 100 taprio \\ num_tc 3 \\ map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \\ queues 1@0 1@0 1@0 \\ base-time $BASE_TIME \\ sched-entry S 01 300000 \\ sched-entry S 02 300000 \\ sched-entry S 04 400000 \\ flags 0x1 \\ txtime-delay 200000 \\ clockid CLOCK_TAI tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent 100:1 etf \\ offload delta 200000 clockid CLOCK_TAI skip_skb_check Here, the "flags" parameter is indicating that the txtime-assist mode is enabled. Also, all the traffic classes have been assigned the same queue. This is to prevent the traffic classes in the lower priority queues from getting starved. Note that this configuration is specific to the i210 ethernet card. Other network cards where the hardware queues are given the same priority, might be able to utilize more than one queue. Following are some of the other highlights of the series: - Fix a bug where hardware timestamping and SO_TXTIME options cannot be used together. (Patch 1) - Introduces the skip_skb_check option. (Patch 2) - Make TxTime assist mode work with TCP packets (Patch 7). The following changes are recommended to be done in order to get the best performance from taprio in this mode: ip link set dev enp1s0 mtu 1514 ethtool -K eth0 gso off ethtool -K eth0 tso off ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee off ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When the taprio qdisc is running in "txtime offload" mode, it will set the launchtime value (in skb->tstamp) for all the packets which do not have the SO_TXTIME socket option. But, the TCP packets already have this value set and it indicates the earliest departure time represented in CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock. We need to respect the timestamp set by the TCP subsystem. So, convert this time to the clock which taprio is using and ensure that the packet is not transmitted before the deadline set by TCP.

Currently, we are seeing non-critical packets being transmitted outside of their timeslice. We can confirm that the packets are being dequeued at the right time. So, the delay is induced in the hardware side. The most likely reason is the hardware queues are starving the lower priority queues. In order to improve the performance of taprio, we will be making use of the txtime feature provided by the ETF qdisc. For all the packets which do not have the SO_TXTIME option set, taprio will set the transmit timestamp (set in skb->tstamp) in this mode. TAPrio Qdisc will ensure that the transmit time for the packet is set to when the gate is open. If SO_TXTIME is set, the TAPrio qdisc will validate whether the timestamp (in skb->tstamp) occurs when the gate corresponding to skb's traffic class is open. Following two parameters added to support this mode: - flags: used to enable txtime-assist mode. Will also be used to enable other modes (like hardware offloading) later. - txtime-delay: This indicates the minimum time it will take for the packet to hit the wire. This is useful in determining whether we can transmit the packet in the remaining time if the gate corresponding to the packet is currently open. An example configuration for enabling txtime-assist: tc qdisc replace dev eth0 parent root handle 100 taprio \\ num_tc 3 \\ map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \\ queues 1@0 1@0 1@0 \\ base-time 1558653424279842568 \\ sched-entry S 01 300000 \\ sched-entry S 02 300000 \\ sched-entry S 04 400000 \\ flags 0x1 \\ txtime-delay 40000 \\ clockid CLOCK_TAI tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent 100:1 etf skip_sock_check \\ offload delta 200000 clockid CLOCK_TAI Note that all the traffic classes are mapped to the same queue. This is only possible in taprio when txtime-assist is enabled. Also, note that the ETF Qdisc is enabled with offload mode set. In this mode, if the packet's traffic class is open and the complete packet can be transmitted, taprio will try to transmit the packet immediately. This will be done by setting skb->tstamp to current_time + the time delta indicated in the txtime-delay parameter. This parameter indicates the time taken (in software) for packet to reach the network adapter. If the packet cannot be transmitted in the current interval or if the packet's traffic is not currently transmitting, the skb->tstamp is set to the next available timestamp value. This is tracked in the next_launchtime parameter in the struct sched_entry. The behaviour w.r.t admin and oper schedules is not changed from what is present in software mode. The transmit time is already known in advance. So, we do not need the HR timers to advance the schedule and wakeup the dequeue side of taprio. So, HR timer won't be run when this mode is enabled.

Currently, etf expects a socket with SO_TXTIME option set for each packet it encounters. So, it will drop all other packets. But, in the future commits we are planning to add functionality where tstamp value will be set by another qdisc. Also, some packets which are generated from within the kernel (e.g. ICMP packets) do not have any socket associated with them. So, this commit adds support for skip_sock_check. When this option is set, etf will skip checking for a socket and other associated options for all skbs. Signed-off-by: Vedang Patel <vedang.patel@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

If a packet which is utilizing the launchtime feature (via SO_TXTIME socket option) also requests the hardware transmit timestamp, the hardware timestamp is not delivered to the userspace. This is because the value in skb->tstamp is mistaken as the software timestamp. Applications, like ptp4l, request a hardware timestamp by setting the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE socket option. Whenever a new timestamp is detected by the driver (this work is done in igb_ptp_tx_work() which calls igb_ptp_tx_hwtstamps() in igb_ptp.c[1]), it will queue the timestamp in the ERR_QUEUE for the userspace to read. When the userspace is ready, it will issue a recvmsg() call to collect this timestamp. The problem is in this recvmsg() call. If the skb->tstamp is not cleared out, it will be interpreted as a software timestamp and the hardware tx timestamp will not be successfully sent to the userspace. Look at skb_is_swtx_tstamp() and the callee function __sock_recv_timestamp() in net/socket.c for more details.

John Hurley says: ==================== Track recursive calls in TC act_mirred These patches aim to prevent act_mirred causing stack overflow events from recursively calling packet xmit or receive functions. Such events can occur with poor TC configuration that causes packets to travel in loops within the system. Florian Westphal advises that a recursion crash and packets looping are separate issues and should be treated as such. David Miller futher points out that pcpu counters cannot track the precise skb context required to detect loops. Hence these patches are not aimed at detecting packet loops, rather, preventing stack flows arising from such loops. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

TC hooks allow the application of filters and actions to packets at both ingress and egress of the network stack. It is possible, with poor configuration, that this can produce loops whereby an ingress hook calls a mirred egress action that has an egress hook that redirects back to the first ingress etc. The TC core classifier protects against loops when doing reclassifies but there is no protection against a packet looping between multiple hooks and recursively calling act_mirred. This can lead to stack overflow panics. Add a per CPU counter to act_mirred that is incremented for each recursive call of the action function when processing a packet. If a limit is passed then the packet is dropped and CPU counter reset. Note that this patch does not protect against loops in TC datapaths. Its aim is to prevent stack overflow kernel panics that can be a consequence of such loops.

The TC_ACT_REINSERT return type was added as an in-kernel only option to allow a packet ingress or egress redirect. This is used to avoid unnecessary skb clones in situations where they are not required. If a TC hook returns this code then the packet is 'reinserted' and no skb consume is carried out as no clone took place. This return type is only used in act_mirred. Rather than have the reinsert called from the main datapath, call it directly in act_mirred. Instead of returning TC_ACT_REINSERT, change the type to the new TC_ACT_CONSUMED which tells the caller that the packet has been stolen by another process and that no consume call is required. Moving all redirect calls to the act_mirred code is in preparation for tracking recursion created by act_mirred.

Tools such as vpnc try to flush routes when run inside network namespaces by writing 1 into /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush. This currently does not work because flush is not enabled in non-initial network namespaces. Since routes are per network namespace it is safe to enable /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush in there.
