An event ring's state only needs to be known when it is allocated, reset, or deallocated. We check an event ring's state both before and after performing an event ring control command that changes its state. These are only issued at startup and shutdown, so there is very little value in caching the state. Stop recording a copy of the channel's last known state, and instead fetch the true state from hardware whenever it's needed. In such cases, *do* record the state in a local variable, in case an error message reports it (so the value reported is the value seen). Signed-off-by:

When stopping a channel, gsi_channel_stop() will ensure NAPI polling is complete when it calls napi_disable(). So there is no need to call napi_synchronize() in that case. Move the call to napi_synchronize() out of __gsi_channel_stop() and into gsi_channel_suspend(), so it's only used where needed. Signed-off-by:

Move the mutex calls out of gsi_channel_stop_retry() and into __gsi_channel_stop(), to make the latter more semantically similar to __gsi_channel_start(). Signed-off-by:

The ocelot switch has been supporting LAG offload since its initial commit, however felix could not make use of that, due to lack of a LAG abstraction in DSA. Now that we have that, let's forward DSA's calls towards the ocelot library, who will deal with setting up the bonding. Signed-off-by:

Given the following topology, and focusing only on Box A: Box A +----------------------------------+ | Board 1 br0 | | +---------+ | | / \ | | | | | | | bond0 | | | +-----+ | |192.168.1.1 | / \ | | eno0 swp0 swp1 swp2 | +---|--------|-------|-------|-----+ | | | | +--------+ | | Cable | | Cable| |Cable Cable | | +--------+ | | | | | | +---|--------|-------|-------|-----+ | eno0 swp0 swp1 swp2 | |192.168.1.2 | \ / | | | +-----+ | | | bond0 | | | | | | \ / | | +---------+ | | Board 2 br0 | +----------------------------------+ Box B The assisted_learning_on_cpu_port logic will see that swp0 is bridged with a "foreign interface" (bond0) and will therefore install all addresses learnt by the software bridge towards bond0 (including the address of eno0 on Box B) as static addresses towards the CPU port. But that's not what we want - bond0 is not really a "foreign interface" but one we can offload including L2 forwarding from/towards it. So we need to refine our logic for assisted learning such that, whenever we see an address learnt on a non-DSA interface, we search through the tree for any port that offloads that non-DSA interface. Some confusion might arise as to why we search through the whole tree instead of just the local switch returned by dsa_slave_dev_lower_find. Or a different angle of the same confusion: why does dsa_slave_dev_lower_find(br_dev) return a single dp that's under br_dev instead of the whole list of bridged DSA ports? To answer the second question, it should be enough to install the static FDB entry on the CPU port of a single switch in the tree, because dsa_port_fdb_add uses DSA_NOTIFIER_FDB_ADD which ensures that all other switches in the tree get notified of that address, and add the entry themselves using dsa_towards_port(). This should help understand the answer to the first question: the port returned by dsa_slave_dev_lower_find may not be on the same switch as the ports that offload the LAG. Nonetheless, if the driver implements .crosschip_lag_join and .crosschip_bridge_join as mv88e6xxx does, there still isn't any reason for trapping addresses learnt on the remote LAG towards the CPU, and we should prevent that.

At present there is an issue when ocelot is offloading a bonding interface, but one of the links of the physical ports goes down. Traffic keeps being hashed towards that destination, and of course gets dropped on egress. Monitor the netdev notifier events emitted by the bonding driver for changes in the physical state of lower interfaces, to determine which ports are active and which ones are no longer. Then extend ocelot_get_bond_mask to return either the configured bonding interfaces, or the active ones, depending on a boolean argument. The code that does rebalancing only needs to do so among the active ports, whereas the bridge forwarding mask and the logical port IDs still need to look at the permanently bonded ports.

We can now simplify the implementation by always using ocelot_get_bond_mask to look up the other ports that are offloading the same bonding interface as us. In ocelot_set_aggr_pgids, the code had a way to uniquely iterate through LAGs. We need to achieve the same behavior by marking each LAG as visited, which we do now by using a temporary 32-bit "visited" bitmask. This is ok and we do not need dynamic memory allocation, because we know that this switch architecture will not have more than 32 ports (the PGID port masks are 32-bit anyway). Signed-off-by:

The setup of logical port IDs is done in two places: from the inconclusively named ocelot_setup_lag and from ocelot_port_lag_leave, a function that also calls ocelot_setup_lag (which apparently does an incomplete setup of the LAG). To improve this situation, we can rename ocelot_setup_lag into ocelot_setup_logical_port_ids, and drop the "lag" argument. It will now set up the logical port IDs of all switch ports, which may be just slightly more inefficient but more maintainable. Signed-off-by:

Vladimir Oltean authored
The index of the LAG is equal to the logical port ID that all the physical port members have, which is further equal to the index of the first physical port that is a member of the LAG. The code gets a bit carried away with logic like this: if (a == b) c = a; else c = b; which can be simplified, of course, into: c = b; (with a being port, b being lp, c being lag) This further makes the "lp" variable redundant, since we can use "lag" everywhere where "lp" (logical port) was used. So instead of a "c = b" assignment, we can do a complete deletion of b. Only one comment here: if (bond_mask) { lp = __ffs(bond_mask); ocelot->lags[lp] = 0; } lp was clobbered before, because it was used as a temporary variable to hold the new smallest port ID from the bond. Now that we don't have "lp" any longer, we'll just avoid the temporary variable and zeroize the bonding mask directly. Signed-off-by:Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by:

Since this code should be called from pure switchdev as well as from DSA, we must find a way to determine the bonding mask not by looking directly at the net_device lowers of the bonding interface, since those could have different private structures. We keep a pointer to the bonding upper interface, if present, in struct ocelot_port. Then the bonding mask becomes the bitwise OR of all ports that have the same bonding upper interface. This adds a duplication of functionality with the current "lags" array, but the duplication will be short-lived, since further patches will remove the latter completely. Signed-off-by:

IPv6 header information is not currently part of the entropy source for the 4-bit aggregation code used for LAG offload, even though it could be. The hardware reference manual says about these fields: ANA::AGGR_CFG.AC_IP6_TCPUDP_PORT_ENA Use IPv6 TCP/UDP port when calculating aggregation code. Configure identically for all ports. Recommended value is 1. ANA::AGGR_CFG.AC_IP6_FLOW_LBL_ENA Use IPv6 flow label when calculating AC. Configure identically for all ports. Recommended value is 1. Integration with the xmit_hash_policy of the bonding interface is TBD. Signed-off-by:

Since switchdev/DSA exposes network interfaces that fulfill many of the same user space expectations that dedicated NICs do, it makes sense to not deny bonding interfaces with a bonding policy that we cannot offload, but instead allow the bonding driver to select the egress interface in software.

This reverts commit 728c0208. Since 2015 DSA has gained more integration with the network stack, we can now have the same functionality without explicitly open-coding for it: - It now opens the DSA master netdevice automatically whenever a user netdevice is opened. - The master and switch interfaces are coupled in an upper/lower hierarchy using the netdev adjacency lists. In the nfsroot example below, the interface chosen by autoconfig was swp3, and every interface except that and the DSA master, eth1, was brought down afterwards: [ 8.714215] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp0 (uninitialized): PHY [0000:00:00.3:10] driver [Microsemi GE VSC8514 SyncE] (irq=POLL) [ 8.978041] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp1 (uninitialized): PHY [0000:00:00.3:11] driver [Microsemi GE VSC8514 SyncE] (irq=POLL) [ 9.246134] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp2 (uninitialized): PHY [0000:00:00.3:12] driver [Microsemi GE VSC8514 SyncE] (irq=POLL) [ 9.486203] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp3 (uninitialized): PHY [0000:00:00.3:13] driver [Microsemi GE VSC8514 SyncE] (irq=POLL) [ 9.512827] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: configuring for fixed/internal link mode [ 9.521047] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5: Link is Up - 2.5Gbps/Full - flow control off [ 9.530382] device eth1 entered promiscuous mode [ 9.535452] DSA: tree 0 setup [ 9.539777] printk: console [netcon0] enabled [ 9.544504] netconsole: network logging started [ 9.555047] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eth1: configuring for fixed/internal link mode [ 9.562790] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eth1: Link is Up - 1Gbps/Full - flow control off [ 9.564661] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device bond0 [ 9.637681] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0 eth0: PHY [0000:00:00.0:02] driver [Qualcomm Atheros AR8031/AR8033] (irq=POLL) [ 9.655679] fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.0 eth0: configuring for inband/sgmii link mode [ 9.666611] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp0: configuring for inband/qsgmii link mode [ 9.676216] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device swp0 [ 9.682086] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp1: configuring for inband/qsgmii link mode [ 9.690700] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device swp1 [ 9.696538] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp2: configuring for inband/qsgmii link mode [ 9.705131] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device swp2 [ 9.710964] mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp3: configuring for inband/qsgmii link mode [ 9.719548] 8021q: adding VLAN 0 to HW filter on device swp3 [ 9.747811] Sending DHCP requests ..

This is not fixing any actual bug that I know of, but having a DSA interface that is up even when its lower (master) interface is down is one of those things that just do not sound right. Yes, DSA checks if the master is up before actually bringing the user interface up, but nobody prevents bringing the master interface down immediately afterwards... Then the user ports would attempt dev_queue_xmit on an interface that is down, and wonder what's wrong. This patch prevents that from happening. NETDEV_GOING_DOWN is the notification emitted _before_ the master actually goes down, and we are protected by the rtnl_mutex, so all is well. For those of you reading this because you were doing switch testing such as latency measurements for autonomously forwarded traffic, and you needed a controlled environment with no extra packets sent by the network stack, this patch breaks that, because now the user ports go down too, which may shut down the PHY etc. But please don't do it like that, just do instead: tc qdisc add dev eno2 clsact tc filter add dev eno2 egress flower action drop Tested with two cascaded DSA switches: $ ip link set eno2 down sja1105 spi2.0 sw0p2: Link is Down mscc_felix 0000:00:00.5 swp0: Link is Down fsl_enetc 0000:00:00.2 eno2: Link is Down Signed-off-by:

DSA wants the master interface to be open before the user port is due to historical reasons. The promiscuity of interfaces that are down used to have issues, as referenced Lennert Buytenhek in commit df02c6ff ("dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handling"). The bugfix mentioned there, commit b6c40d68 ("net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), was basically a "don't do that" approach to working around the promiscuity while down issue. Further work done by Vlad Yasevich in commit d2615bf4 ("net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces") has resolved the underlying issue, and it is strictly up to the DSA and 8021q drivers now, it is no longer mandated by the networking core that the master interface must be up when changing its promiscuity. From DSA's point of view, deciding to error out in dsa_slave_open because the master isn't up is (a) a bad user experience and (b) knocking at an open door. Even if there still was an issue with promiscuity while down, DSA could still just open the master and avoid it. Doing it this way has the additional benefit that user space can now remove DSA-specific workarounds, like systemd-networkd with BindCarrier: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7478 And we can finally remove one of the 2 bullets in the "Common pitfalls using DSA setups" chapter.

In the current implementation of {netdev,napi}_alloc_frag(), it doesn't have any align guarantee for the returned buffer address, But for some hardwares they do require the DMA buffer to be aligned correctly, so we would have to use some workarounds like below if the buffers allocated by the {netdev,napi}_alloc_frag() are used by these hardwares for DMA. buf = napi_alloc_frag(really_needed_size + align); buf = PTR_ALIGN(buf, align); These codes seems ugly and would waste a lot of memories if the buffers are used in a network driver for the TX/RX. We have added the align support for the page_frag functions, so add the corresponding {netdev,napi}_frag functions. Signed-off-by:Alexander Duyck <alexanderduyck@fb.com> Signed-off-by:
