The current Rx timestamp hang logic is not very robust because it does not notice a register is hung until all four timestamps have been latched and we wait a full 5 seconds. Replace this logic with a newer Rx hang detection based on storing the jiffies when we first notice a receive timestamp event. We store each register's time separately, along with a flag indicating if it is currently latched. Upon first transitioning to latch, we will update the latch_events[i] jiffies value. This indicates the time we first noticed this event. The watchdog routine will simply check that the either the flag has been cleared, or we have passed at least one second. In this case, it is able to clear the Rx timestamp register under the assumption that it was for a dropped frame. The benefit if this strategy is that we should be able to detect and clear out stalled RXTIME_H registers before we exhaust the supply of 4, and avoid complete stall of Rx timestamp events.

We need a locking mechanism to protect the hardware SYSTIME register which is split over 2 values, and has internal hardware latching. We can't allow multiple accesses at the same time. However.... The spinlock_t is overkill here, especially use of spin_lock_irqsave, since every PTP access will halt hardirqs. Notice that the only places which need the SYSTIME value are user context and are capable of sleeping. Thus, it is safe to use a mutex here instead of the spinlock.

When hardware has taken a timestamp for a received packet, it indicates which RXTIME register the timestamp was placed in by some bits in the receive descriptor. It uses 3 bits, one to indicate if the descriptor index is valid (ie: there was a timestamp) and 2 bits to indicate which of the 4 registers to read. However, the driver currently does not check the TSYNVALID bit and only checks the index. It assumes a zero index means no timestamp, and a non zero index means a timestamp occurred. While this appears to be true, it prevents ever reading a timestamp in RXTIME[0], and causes the first timestamp the device captures to be ignored. Fix this by using the TSYNVALID bit correctly as the true indicator of whether the packet has an associated timestamp. Also rename the variable rsyn to tsyn as this is more descriptive and matches the register names.

We duplicate some code around adding and deleting filters using the adminq interface. This is prone to errors in case there are bugs. Use functions which extract the logic to their own portion so that we don't duplicate it twice in code.

We determine that a VSI is in vlan_mode whenever it has any filters with a VLAN other than -1 (I40E_VLAN_ALL). The previous method of doing so was to perform a loop whenever we needed the check. However, we can notice that only place where filters are added (i40e_add_filter) can change the condition from false to true, and the only place we can return to false is in i40e_vsi_sync_filters_subtask. Thus, we can remove the loop and use a boolean directly. Doing this avoids looping over filters repeatedly especially while we're already inside a loop over all the filters. This should reduce the latency of filter operations throughout the driver.

Currently there exists a bug where adding at least one VLAN and then removing all VLANs leaves the mac filters for the VSI with an incorrect value for 'vid' which indicates the mac filter's VLAN status. The current implementation for handling the removal of VLANs is wrong for a couple reasons. The first is that when i40e_vsi_kill_vlan iterates through the MAC filters, it fails to account for the MAC filter status; i.e. it's not accommodating for filters that are about to be deleted. The second problem is that MAC filters can be deleted in other places (specifically i40e_set_rx_mode). Thus if it occurs that all the VLAN MAC filters get deleted we need to switch out of VLAN mode, but the code path through i40e_vsi_kill_vlan has already been executed and we're now stuck in VLAN mode. This patch fixes the issue by removing the check from i40e_vsi_kill_vlan and puts the check instead in i40e_sync_vsi_filters where we're guaranteed to see all filter deletions and can properly detect when we need to switch out of VLAN mode.

Currently, we fail to correctly restore filters on the temporary add list when we fail to allocate memory either for deletion or addition. Replace calls to "goto out;" with calls to a new location that correctly handles memory allocation failures. Note that it is safe for us to call i40e_undo_filter_entries on the tmp_del_list even after we've deleted filters because at this point it will be empty, so we don't need to separate the logic for add and delete failure.

Replace the mac_filter_list with a static size hash table of 8bits. The primary advantage of this is a decrease in latency of operations related to searching for specific MAC filters, including .set_rx_mode. Using a linked list resulted in several locations which were O(n^2). Using a hash table should give us latency growth closer to O(n*log(n)).

When inside a loop where we call i40e_del_filter we use an O(n^2) pattern where i40e_del_filter calls i40e_find_filter for us. We can avoid this O(n^2) logic by factoring a function, __i40e_del_filter() out from the i40e_del_filter code. This allows us to re-use the delete logic where appropriate without having to search for the filter twice. This new function benefits several functions including i40e_vsi_add_vlan, i40e_vsi_kill_vlan, i40e_del_mac_vlan_all, and i40e_vsi_release.

When adding new MAC address filters, the driver determines if it should behave in VLAN mode (where all MAC addresses get assigned to every existing VLAN) or in non-VLAN mode where MAC addresses get assigned the VLAN_ANY identifier. Under some circumstances it is possible that a VLAN has been marked for removal (such that all filters of that VLAN are set to I40E_FILTER_REMOVE), and a subsequent call to i40e_put_mac_in_vlan may occur prior to the driver subtask that syncs filters to the hardware. In this case, we may add filters to the new removed VLAN, even though it should have been removed. This is most obvious when first adding a new VLAN. We will delete all filters which are in I40E_VLAN_ANY (-1) and then re-add them as in VLAN 0 (untagged). Then before we sync filters, we will add new MAC address filter, which will be added to every VLAN that exists. Unfortunately, this will include I40E_VLAN_ANY, so we will end up incorrectly adding filters to the -1 VLAN. This can be fixed by simply skipping all filters which are marked for removal. A similar check is not necessary in i40e_del_mac_all_vlan, since we are deleting, and any filter which we find already marked for removal would simply be deleted again, which doesn't cause any issues.

When a PVID has been assigned to a VSI, the function i40e_put_mac_in_vlan arbitrarily modifies all filters to have the same VLAN. This is obviously incorrect because it could be modifying active filters without putting them into the NEW state. The correct method is to remove then re-add filters which is already done in the code where we assign the PVID. Fix this issue and a few other minor nits at the same time. First, when we have a PVID don't even bother looping and simply add the filter with the PVID immediately. In the case of the loop, we now can remove several checks. We also don't need to use i40e_find_filter first before calling i40e_add_filter, since i40e_add_filter implicitly does a lookup already. Finally, update the return semantics of this function so that on failure to add a filter it returns NULL, but on success, it returns the last filter added. Otherwise, we're just returning the last filter in the list. An alternative fix might be to return 0 or an error code, but this is pretty invasive to every call site.

The kernel provides __dev_uc_sync and __dev_mc_sync in order for drivers which need individual notification of add and delete for each filter. These functions allow us to vastly simplify our .set_rx_mode handler. We need to implement two functions for sync and unsync which add and remove filters respectively. This change avoids a very complex and inefficient algorithm which resulted in an abnormal latency for the .set_rx_mode NDO operation. The resulting code after this change is more readable, more efficient, and less code. Due to the callback signature used by these functions we also must update several other functions to take a const u8 * pointer.

Originally the is_vf and is_netdev fields were added in order to distinguish between VF and netdev filters in a single VSI. However, it can be noted that we use separate VSI for SRIOV VFs and for netdev VSI. Thus, since a single VSI should only ever have one type of filter, we can simply remove the checks and remove the typing. In a similar fashion, we can note that the only remaining way to get multiple filters of a single type is through a debug command that was added to debugfs. This command is useless in practice, and results in causing bugs if we keep counter tracking but lose the is_vf and is_netdev protections as desired above. Since the only time we'd actually have a counter value besides 0 and 1 is through use of this debugfs hook, we can remove this unnecessary command, and the entire counter logic it required. We vastly simplify mac filters by removing (a) the distinction between VF and netdev filters (b) counting logic (c) the ability to add and remove filters bypassing the stack via debugfs Change-ID: Idf916dd2a1159b1188ddbab5bef6b85ea6bf27d9 Signed-off-by: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

When we receive a PIM Hello message on a port we can consider that it has a multicast router attached, thus it is correct to add it to the router list. The only catch is it shouldn't be considered for a querier. Using Daniel's description: leaf-11 leaf-12 leaf-13 \ | / bridge-1 / \ host-11 host-12 - all ports in bridge-1 are in a single vlan aware bridge - leaf-11 is the IGMP querier - leaf-13 is the PIM DR - host-11 TXes packets to 226.10.10.10 - bridge-1 only forwards the 226.10.10.10 traffic out the port to leaf-11, it should also forward this traffic out the port to leaf-13 Suggested-by: Daniel Walton <dwalton@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Driver sets several restrictions about the number of supported VFs according to available HW/FW resources. This creates a problem as there are constellations which can't be supported [as limitation don't accurately describe the resources], as well as holes where enabling IOV would fail due to supposed lack of resources. This introduces a new interal feature - vf-queues, which would be used to lift some of the restriction and accurately enumerate the queues that can be used by a given PF's VFs.

While commit bb35a6ef ("bpf, inode: allow for rename and link ops") added support for hard links that can be used for prog and map nodes, this work adds simple symlink support, which can be used f.e. for directories also when unpriviledged and works with cmdline tooling that understands S_IFLNK anyway. Since the switch in e27f4a94 ("bpf: Use mount_nodev not mount_ns to mount the bpf filesystem"), there can be various mount instances with mount_nodev() and thus hierarchy can be flattened to facilitate object sharing. Thus, we can keep bpf tooling also working by repointing paths. Most of the functionality can be used from vfs library operations. The symlink is stored in the inode itself, that is in i_link, which is sufficient in our case as opposed to storing it in the page cache. While at it, I noticed that bpf_mkdir() and bpf_mkobj() don't update the directories mtime and ctime, so add a common helper for it called bpf_dentry_finalize() that takes care of it for all cases now.

The following patch fixes an issue with the ldmvsw driver where the network connection of a guest domain becomes non-functional after the guest domain has panic'd and rebooted. The root cause was determined to be from the following series of events: 1. Guest domain panics - resulting in the guest no longer processing network packets (from ldmvsw driver) 2. The ldmvsw driver (in the control domain) eventually exerts flow control due to no more available tx drings and stops the tx queue for the guest domain 3. The LDC of the network connection for the guest is reset when the guest domain reboots after the panic. 4. The LDC reset event is received by the ldmvsw driver and the ldmvsw responds by clearing the tx queue for the guest. 5. ldmvsw waits indefinitely for a DATA ACK from the guest - which is the normal method to re-enable the tx queue. But the ACK never comes because the tx queue was cleared due to the LDC reset. To fix this issue, in addition to clearing the tx queue, re-enable the tx queue on a LDC reset. This prevents the ldmvsw from getting caught in this deadlocked state of waiting for a DATA ACK which will never come.

With this change we will factor in the priority and traffic class mapping of the packet and use that information to correctly select the queue.
