Forward Error Correction (FEC) modes i.e Base-R and Reed-Solomon modes are introduced in 25G/40G/100G standards for providing good BER at high speeds. Various networking devices which support 25G/40G/100G provides ability to manage supported FEC modes and the lack of FEC encoding control and reporting today is a source for interoperability issues for many vendors. FEC capability as well as specific FEC mode i.e. Base-R or RS modes can be requested or advertised through bits D44:47 of base link codeword. This patch set intends to provide option under ethtool to manage and report FEC encoding settings for networking devices as per IEEE 802.3 bj, bm and by specs. set-fec/show-fec option(s) are designed to provide control and report the FEC encoding on the link. SET FEC option: root@tor: ethtool --set-fec swp1 encoding [off | RS | BaseR | auto] Encoding: Types of encoding Off : Turning off any encoding RS : enforcing RS-FEC encoding on supported speeds BaseR : enforcing Base R encoding on supported speeds Auto : IEEE defaults for the speed/medium combination Here are a few examples of what we would expect if encoding=auto: - if autoneg is on, we are expecting FEC to be negotiated as on or off as long as protocol supports it - if the hardware is capable of detecting the FEC encoding on it's receiver it will reconfigure its encoder to match - in absence of the above, the configuration would be set to IEEE defaults. >From our understanding , this is essentially what most hardware/driver combinations are doing today in the absence of a way for users to control the behavior. SHOW FEC option: root@tor: ethtool --show-fec swp1 FEC parameters for swp1: Active FEC encodings: RS Configured FEC encodings: RS | BaseR ETHTOOL DEVNAME output modification: ethtool devname output: root@tor:~# ethtool swp1 Settings for swp1: root@hpe-7712-03:~# ethtool swp18 Settings for swp18: Supported ports: [ FIBRE ] Supported link modes: 40000baseCR4/Full 40000baseSR4/Full 40000baseLR4/Full 100000baseSR4/Full 100000baseCR4/Full 100000baseLR4_ER4/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: [RS | BaseR | None | Not reported] Advertised link modes: Not reported Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: No Advertised FEC modes: [RS | BaseR | None | Not reported] <<<< One or more FEC modes Speed: 100000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: FIBRE PHYAD: 106 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Link detected: yes This patch includes following changes a) New ETHTOOL_SFECPARAM/SFECPARAM API, handled by the new get_fecparam/set_fecparam callbacks, provides support for configuration of forward error correction modes. b) Link mode bits for FEC modes i.e. None (No FEC mode), RS, BaseR/FC are defined so that users can configure these fec modes for supported and advertising fields as part of link autonegotiation.

Stephen Hemminger says: ==================== netvsc: minor fixes and optimization This is a subset of earlier submission with a few more fixes found during testing. The are two small optimizations, one is to better manage the receive completion ring, and the other is removing one unneeded level of indirection. Will submit the improved VF support and buffer sizing in a later patch so they get more review. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Optimize how receive completion ring are managed. * Allocate only as many slots as needed for all buffers from host * Allocate before setting up sub channel for better error detection * Don't need to keep copy of initial receive section message * Precompute the watermark for when receive flushing is needed * Replace division with conditional test * Replace atomic per-device variable with per-channel check. * Handle corner case where receive completion send fails if ring buffer to host is full.

bnxt_en depends on MAY_USE_DEVLINK; this is used to force bnxt_en to be =m when DEVLINK is =m. Now, bnxt_re selects bnxt_en. Unless bnxt_re also explicitly calls out dependency on MAY_USE_DEVLINK, Kconfig does not force bnxt_re to be =m when DEVLINK is =m, causing the following error: drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_vfr.o: In function `bnxt_dl_register': bnxt_vfr.c:(.text+0x1440): undefined reference to `devlink_alloc' bnxt_vfr.c:(.text+0x14c0): undefined reference to `devlink_register' bnxt_vfr.c:(.text+0x14e0): undefined reference to `devlink_free' drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_vfr.o: In function `bnxt_dl_unregister': bnxt_vfr.c:(.text+0x1534): undefined reference to `devlink_unregister' bnxt_vfr.c:(.text+0x153c): undefined reference to `devlink_free' Fix this by adding MAY_USE_DEVLINK dependency in bnxt_re.

If a link group for a new server connection exists already, the mutex serializing the determination of link groups is given up early. The coming registration of memory regions benefits from the serialization as well, if the mutex is held till connection creation is finished.

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== nfp: extend firmware request logic We have been pondering for some time how to support loading different application firmwares onto NFP. We want to support both users selecting one of the firmware images provided by Netronome (which are optimized for different use cases each) as well as firmware images created by users themselves or other companies. In the end we decided to go with the simplest solution - depending on the right firmware image being placed in /lib/firmware. This vastly simplifies driver logic and also doesn't require any new API. Different NICs on one system may want to run different applications therefore we first try to load firmware specific to the device (by serial number of PCI slot) and if not present try the device model based name we have been using so far. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

request_firmware() will fallback to user space helper and may cause long delays when driver is loaded if udev doesn't correctly handle FW requests. Since we never really made use of the user space helper functionality switch to the simpler request_firmware_direct() call. The side effect of this change is that no warning will be printed when the FW image does not exists. To help users figure out which FW file is missing print a info message when we request each file.
