Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: MTU handling changes As previously discussed the recent changes break some setups and could lead to packet drops. Thus the first patch reverts the behaviour for the bridge to follow the minimum MTU but also keeps the ability to set the MTU to the maximum (out of all ports) if vlan filtering is enabled. Patch 02 is the bigger change in behaviour - we've always had trouble when configuring bridges and their MTU which is auto tuning on port events (add/del/changemtu), which means config software needs to chase it and fix it after each such event, after patch 02 we allow the user to configure any MTU (ETH_MIN/MAX limited) but once that is done the bridge stops auto tuning and relies on the user to keep the MTU correct. This should be compatible with cases that don't touch the MTU (or set it to the same value), while allowing to configure the MTU and not worry about it changing afterwards. The patches are intentionally split like this, so that if they get accepted and there are any complaints patch 02 can be reverted. ==================== Signed-off-by:

As Roopa noted today the biggest source of problems when configuring bridge and ports is that the bridge MTU keeps changing automatically on port events (add/del/changemtu). That leads to inconsistent behaviour and network config software needs to chase the MTU and fix it on each such event. Let's improve on that situation and allow for the user to set any MTU within ETH_MIN/MAX limits, but once manually configured it is the user's responsibility to keep it correct afterwards. In case the MTU isn't manually set - the behaviour reverts to the previous and the bridge follows the minimum MTU. Signed-off-by:

Recently the bridge was changed to automatically set maximum MTU on port events (add/del/changemtu) when vlan filtering is enabled, but that actually changes behaviour in a way which breaks some setups and can lead to packet drops. In order to still allow that maximum to be set while being compatible, we add the ability for the user to tune the bridge MTU up to the maximum when vlan filtering is enabled, but that has to be done explicitly and all port events (add/del/changemtu) lead to resetting that MTU to the minimum as before.

The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback from atomic context which causes messaging timeouts between VF and PF (as they’re implemented via MSIx). So in order to handle ndo_set_rx_mode() we need to get rid of it. This commit implements necessary workqueue related structures to let VF queue kernel request processing in non-atomic context later.

The kernel calls ndo_set_rx_mode() callback supplying it will all necessary info, such as device state flags, multicast mac addresses list and so on. Since we have only 128 bits to communicate with PF we need to initiate several requests to PF with small/short operation each based on input data. So this commit implements following PF messages codes along with new data structures for them: NIC_MBOX_MSG_RESET_XCAST to flush all filters configured for this particular network interface (VF) NIC_MBOX_MSG_ADD_MCAST to add new MAC address to DMAC filter registers for this particular network interface (VF) NIC_MBOX_MSG_SET_XCAST to apply filtering configuration to filter control register Signed-off-by:

The ThunderX NIC could be partitioned to up to 128 VFs and thus represented to system. Each VF is mapped to pair BGX:LMAC, and each of VF is configured by kernel individually. Eventually the bunch of VFs could be mapped onto same pair BGX:LMAC and thus could cause several multicast filtering configuration requests to LMAC with the same MAC addresses. This commit is to add ThunderX NIC BGX filtering manipulation routines. Signed-off-by:

The ThunderX NIC has two Ethernet Interfaces (BGX) each of them could has up to four Logical MACs configured. Each of BGX has 32 filters to be configured for filtering ingress packets. The number of filters available to particular LMAC is from 8 (if we have four LMACs configured per BGX) up to 32 (in case of only one LMAC is configured per BGX). At the same time the NIC could present up to 128 VFs to OS as network interfaces, each of them kernel will configure with set of MAC addresses for filtering. So to prevent dupes in BGX filter registers from different network interfaces it is required to cache and track all filter configuration requests prior to applying them onto BGX filter registers. This commit is to update LMAC structures with control fields to allocate/releasing filters tracking list along with implementing dmac array allocate/release per LMAC. Signed-off-by:

The ThunderX NIC has set of registers which allows to configure filter policy for ingress packets. There are three possible regimes of filtering multicasts, broadcasts and unicasts: accept all, reject all and accept filter allowed only. Current implementation has enum with all of them and two generic macro for enabling filtering et all (CAM_ACCEPT) and enabling/disabling broadcast packets, which also should be corrected in order to represent register bits properly. All these values are private for driver and there is no need to ‘publish’ them via header file. This commit is to move filtering register manipulation values from header file into source with explicit assignment of exact register values to them to be used while register configuring.

Martin Blumenstingl says: ==================== Meson8m2 support for dwmac-meson8b The Meson8m2 SoC is an updated version of the Meson8 SoC. Some of the peripherals are shared with Meson8b (for example the watchdog registers and the internal temperature sensor calibration procedure). Meson8m2 also seems to include the same Gigabit MAC register layout as Meson8b. The registers in the Amlogic dwmac "glue" seem identical between Meson8b and Meson8m2. Manual testing seems to confirm this. To be extra-safe a new compatible string is added because there's no (public) documentation on the Meson8m2 SoC. This will allow us to implement any SoC-specific variations later on (if needed). ==================== Signed-off-by:

This commit has fix for RX traffic issues when we stress test the driver with continuous ifconfig up/down under very high traffic conditions. Reason for the issue is that, in existing liquidio_stop function NAPI is disabled even before actual FW/HW interface is brought down via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). Between time frame of NAPI disable and actual interface down in firmware, firmware continuously enqueues rx traffic to host. When interrupt happens for new packets, host irq handler fails in scheduling NAPI as the NAPI is already disabled. After "ifconfig <iface> up", Host re-enables NAPI but cannot schedule it until it receives another Rx interrupt. Host never receives Rx interrupt as it never cleared the Rx interrupt it received during interface down operation. NIC Rx interrupt gets cleared only when Host processes queue and clears the queue counts. Above anomaly leads to other issues like packet overflow in FW/HW queues, backpressure. Fix: This commit fixes this issue by disabling NAPI only after informing firmware to stop queueing packets to host via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). send_rx_ctrl_cmd is not visible in the patch as it is already there in the code. The DOWN command also waits for any pending packets to be processed by NAPI so that the deadlock will not occur. Signed-off-by:

Kirill Tkhai says: ==================== Close race between {un, }register_netdevice_notifier and pernet_operations the problem is {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() do not take pernet_ops_rwsem, and they don't see network namespaces, being initialized in setup_net() and cleanup_net(), since at this time net is not hashed to net_namespace_list. This may lead to imbalance, when a notifier is called at time of setup_net()/net is alive, but it's not called at time of cleanup_net(), for the devices, hashed to the net, and vise versa. See (3/3) for the scheme of imbalance. This patchset fixes the problem by acquiring pernet_ops_rwsem at the time of {,un}register_netdevice_notifier() (3/3). (1-2/3) are preparations in xfrm and netfilter subsystems. The problem was introduced a long ago, but backporting won't be easy, since every previous kernel version may have changes in netdevice notifiers, and they all need review and testing. Otherwise, there may be more pernet_operations, which register or unregister netdevice notifiers, and that leads to deadlock (which is was fixed in 1-2/3). This patchset is for net-next. ==================== Signed-off-by:

{un,}register_netdevice_notifier() iterate over all net namespaces hashed to net_namespace_list. But pernet_operations register and unregister netdevices in unhashed net namespace, and they are not seen for netdevice notifiers. This results in asymmetry: 1)Race with register_netdevice_notifier() pernet_operations::init(net) ... register_netdevice() ... call_netdevice_notifiers() ... ... nb is not called ... ... register_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped ... ... list_add_tail(&net->list, ..) ... Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed: pernet_operations::exit(net) unregister_netdevice() call_netdevice_notifiers() ... nb is called ... This always happens with net::loopback_dev, but it may be not the only device. 2)Race with unregister_netdevice_notifier() pernet_operations::init(net) register_netdevice() call_netdevice_notifiers() ... nb is called ... Then, userspace stops using net, and it's destructed: list_del_rcu(&net->list) ... pernet_operations::exit(net) unregister_netdevice_notifier(nb) -> net skipped dev_change_net_namespace() ... call_netdevice_notifiers() ... nb is not called ... unregister_netdevice() call_netdevice_notifiers() ... nb is not called ... This race is more danger, since dev_change_net_namespace() moves real network devices, which use not trivial netdevice notifiers, and if this will happen, the system will be left in unpredictable state. The patch closes the race. During the testing I found two places, where register_netdevice_notifier() is called from pernet init/exit methods (which led to deadlock) and fixed them (see previous patches). The review moved me to one more unusual registration place: raw_init() (can driver). It may be a reason of problems, if someone creates in-kernel CAN_RAW sockets, since they will be destroyed in exit method and raw_release() will call unregister_netdevice_notifier(). But grep over kernel tree does not show, someone creates such sockets from kernel space. Theoretically, there can be more places like this, and which are hidden from review, but we found them on the first bumping there (since there is no a race, it will be 100% reproducible).

It's common practice to store MAC addresses for network interfaces into nvmem devices. However the code to actually do this in the kernel lacks, so this patch adds of_get_nvmem_mac_address() for drivers to obtain the address from an nvmem cell provider. This is particulary useful on devices where the ethernet interface cannot be configured by the bootloader, for example because it's in an FPGA. Signed-off-by:

John Hurley authored
Trigger a port mod message to request an MTU change on the NIC when any physical port representor is assigned a new MTU value. The driver waits 10 msec for an ack that the FW has set the MTU. If no ack is received the request is rejected and an appropriate warning flagged. Rather than maintain an MTU queue per repr, one is maintained per app. Because the MTU ndo is protected by the rtnl lock, there can never be contention here. Portmod messages from the NIC are also protected by rtnl so we first check if the portmod is an ack and, if so, handle outside rtnl and the cmsg work queue. Acks are detected by the marking of a bit in a portmod response. They are then verfied by checking the port number and MTU value expected by the app. If the expected MTU is 0 then no acks are currently expected. Also, ensure that the packet headroom reserved by the flower firmware is considered when accepting an MTU change on any repr. Signed-off-by:
