This driver supports devices using the NCM protocol as an encapsulation layer for other protocols, like the E3131 Huawei 3G modem. This drivers approach was heavily inspired by the qmi_wwan/cdc_mbim approach & code model. Signed-off-by:

The code of flow label in Linux Kernel follows the rules of RFC 1809 (an informational one) for conditions on flow label sharing. There rules are not in the last proposed standard for flow label (RFC 6437), or in the previous one (RFC 3697). Since this code does not follow any current or old standard, we can remove it. With this removal, the ipv6_opt_cmp function is now a dead code and it can be removed too. Changelog to v1: * add justification for the change * remove the condition on IPv6 options [ Remove ipv6_hdr_cmp and it is now unused as well. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by:

John W. Linville says: ==================== Please accept the following pull request intended for the 3.13 tree... I had intended to pass most of these to you as much as two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I failed to account for the effects of bad Internet connections and my own fatique/laziness while traveling. On the bright side, at least these have been baking in linux-next for some time! For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "This time I have two fixes for P2P (which requires not using CCK rates) and a workaround for APs with broken WMM information." For the iwlwifi bits, Johannes says: "I have a few fixes for warnings/issues: one from Alex, fixing scan timings, one from Emmanuel fixing a WARN_ON in the DVM driver, one from Stanislaw removing a trigger-happy WARN_ON in the MVM driver and a change from myself to try to recover when the device isn't processing commands quickly." And: "For this round, I have a lot of changes: * power management improvements * BT coexistence improvements/updates * new device support * VHT support * IBSS support (though due to a small bug it requires new firmware) * various other fixes/improvements." For the Bluetooth bits, Gustavo says: "More patches for 3.12, busy times for Bluetooth. More than a 100 commits since the last pull. The bulk of work comes from Johan and Marcel, they are doing fixes and improvements all over the Bluetooth subsystem, as the diffstat can show." For the ath10k and ath6kl bits, Kalle says: "Bartosz added support to ath10k for our 10.x AP firmware branch, which gives us AP specific features and fixes. We still support the main firmware branch as well just like before, ath10k detects runtime what firmware is used. Unfortunately the firmware interface in 10.x branch is somewhat different so there was quite a lot of changes in ath10k for this. Michal and Sujith did some performance improvements in ath10k. Vladimir fixed a compiler warning and Fengguang removed an extra semicolon." For the NFC bits, Samuel says: "It's a fairly big one, with the following highlights: - NFC digital layer implementation: Most NFC chipsets implement the NFC digital layer in firmware, but others have more basic functionalities and expect the host to implement the digital layer. This layer sits below the NFC core. - Sony's port100 support: This is "soft" NFC USB dongle that expects the digital layer to be implemented on the host. This is the first user of our NFC digital stack implementation. - Secure element API: We now provide a netlink API for enabling, disabling and discovering NFC attached (embedded or UICC ones) secure elements. With some userspace help, this allows us to support NFC payments. Only the pn544 driver currently supports that API. - NCI SPI fixes and improvements: In order to support NCI devices over SPI, we fixed and improved our NCI/SPI implementation. The currently most deployed NFC NCI chipset, Broadcom's bcm2079x, supports that mode and we're planning to use our NCI/SPI framework to implement a driver for it. - pn533 fragmentation support in target mode: This was the only missing feature from our pn533 impementation. We now support fragmentation in both Tx and Rx modes, in target mode." On top of all that, brcmfmac and rt2x00 both get the usual flurry of updates. A few other drivers get hit here or there as well. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Commit 2613af0e (virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page frag allocators) try to increase the payload/truesize for MTU-sized traffic. But this will introduce the extra overhead for GSO packets received because of the frag list. This commit tries to reduce this issue by coalesce the possible rx frags when possible during rx. Test result shows the about 15% improvement on full size GSO packet receiving (and even better than before commit 2613af0e).

As described in commit 5a581b36 (jiffies: Avoid undefined behavior from signed overflow), according to the C standard 3.4.3p3, overflow of a signed integer results in undefined behavior. To fix this, do as the above commit, and do an unsigned subtraction, and interpreting the result as a signed two's-complement number. This is based on the theory from RFC 1982 and is nicely described in wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_number_arithmetic#General_Solution A side-note, I have seen practical issues with the previous logic when dealing with 16-bit, on a 64-bit machine (gcc version 4.4.5).

Slow start now increases cwnd by 1 if an ACK acknowledges some packets, regardless the number of packets. Consequently slow start performance is highly dependent on the degree of the stretch ACKs caused by receiver or network ACK compression mechanisms (e.g., delayed-ACK, GRO, etc). But slow start algorithm is to send twice the amount of packets of packets left so it should process a stretch ACK of degree N as if N ACKs of degree 1, then exits when cwnd exceeds ssthresh. A follow up patch will use the remainder of the N (if greater than 1) to adjust cwnd in the congestion avoidance phase. In addition this patch retires the experimental limited slow start (LSS) feature. LSS has multiple drawbacks but questionable benefit. The fractional cwnd increase in LSS requires a loop in slow start even though it's rarely used. Configuring such an increase step via a global sysctl on different BDPS seems hard. Finally and most importantly the slow start overshoot concern is now better covered by the Hybrid slow start (hystart) enabled by default. Signed-off-by:

Or Gerlitz says: ==================== Mellanox driver updates This patch set from Jack Morgenstein does the following: 1. Fix MAC/VLAN SRIOV implementation, and add wrapper functions for VLAN allocation and de-allocation (patches 1-6). 2. Implements resource quotas when running under SRIOV (patches 7-10). Patch 7 is a small bug fix, and patches 8-10 implement the quotas. Quotas are implemented per resource type for VFs and the PF, to prevent any entity from simply grabbing all the resources for itself and leaving the other entities unable to obtain such resources. The series is against net-next commit ba486502 "ipv6: remove the unnecessary statement in find_match()" changes from V0: - dropped the 1st patch which needs to go to -stable and hence through net, not net-next ==================== Signed-off-by:

Implements resource quota grant decision when resources are requested, for the following resources: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, vlans, MACs, and Counters. When granting a resource, the quota system increases the allocated-count for that slave. When the slave later frees the resource, its allocated-count is reduced. A spinlock is used to protect the integrity of each resource's free-pool counter. (One slave may be in the process of being granted a resource while another slave has crashed, initiating cleanup of that slave's resource quotas). Signed-off-by:

In current kernels, the mlx4 driver running on a VM does not differentiate between max resource numbers for the HCA and max quotas -- it simply takes the quota values passed to it as max-resource values. However, the driver actually requires the VFs to be aware of the actual number of resources that the HCA was initialized with, for QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs. For QPs, CQs and SRQs, the reason is that in completion handling the driver must know which of the 24 bits are the actual resource number, and which are "padding" bits. For MPTs, also, the driver assumes knowledge of the number of MPTs in the system. The previous commit fixes the quota logic on the VM for the quota values passed to it by QUERY_FUNC_CAPS. For QPs, CQs, SRQs, and MPTs, it takes the max resource numbers from QUERY_HCA (and not QUERY_FUNC_CAPS). The quotas passed in QUERY_FUNC_CAPS are used to report max resource number values in the response to ib_query_device. However, the Hypervisor driver must consider that VMs may be running previous kernels, and compatibility must be preserved. To resolve the incompatibility with previous kernels running on VMs, we deprecated the quota fields in mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP. In the deprecated fields, we pass the max-resource values from INIT_HCA The quota fields are moved to a new location, and the current kernel driver takes the proper values from that location. There is also a new flag in dword 0, bit 28 of the mlx4_QUERY_FUNC_CAP mailbox; if this flag is set, the (VM) driver takes the quota values from the new location. VMs running previous kernels will work properly, except that the max resource numbers reported in ib_query_device for these resources will be too high. The Hypervisor driver will, however, enforce the quotas for these VMs. Signed-off-by:

This is step #1 for implementing SRIOV resource quotas for VFs. Quotas are implemented per resource type for VFs and the PF, to prevent any entity from simply grabbing all the resources for itself and leaving the other entities unable to obtain such resources. Resources which are allocated using quotas: QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs, MTTs, MAC, VLAN, and Counters. The quota system works as follows: Each entity (VF or PF) is given a max number of a given resource (its quota), and a guaranteed minimum number for each resource (starvation prevention). For QPs, CQs, SRQs, MPTs and MTTs: 50% of the available quantity for the resource is divided equally among the PF and all the active VFs (i.e., the number of VFs in the mlx4_core module parameter "num_vfs"). This 50% represents the "guaranteed minimum" pool. The other 50% is the "free pool", allocated on a first-come-first-serve basis. For each VF/PF, resources are first allocated from its "guaranteed-minimum" pool. When that pool is exhausted, the driver attempts to allocate from the resource "free-pool". The quota (i.e., max) for the VFs and the PF is: The free-pool amount (50% of the real max) + the guaranteed minimum For MACs: Guarantee 2 MACs per VF/PF per port. As a result, since we have only 128 MACs per port, reduce the allowable number of VFs from 64 to 63. Any remaining MACs are put into a free pool. For VLANs: For the PF, the per-port quota is 128 and guarantee is 64 (to allow the PF to register at least a VLAN per VF in VST mode). For the VFs, the per-port quota is 64 and the guarantee is 0. We assume that VGT VFs are trusted not to abuse the VLAN resource. For Counters: For all functions (PF and VFs), the quota is 128 and the guarantee is 0. In this patch, we define the needed structures, which are added to the resource-tracker struct. In addition, we do initialization for the resource quota, and adjust the query_device response to use quotas rather than resource maxima. As part of the implementation, we introduce a new field in mlx4_dev: quotas. This field holds the resource quotas used to report maxima to the upper layers (ib_core, via query_device). The HCA maxima of these values are passed to the VFs (via QUERY_HCA) so that they may continue to use these in handling QPs, CQs, SRQs and MPTs. Signed-off-by: -

In procedure mlx4_init_mr_table(), slaves should do no processing, but should return success. This initialization is hypervisor-only. However, the check for num_mpts being a power-of-2 was performed before the check to return immediately if the driver is for a slave. This resulted in spurious failures. The order of performing the checks is reversed, so that if the driver is for a slave, no processing is done and success is returned. Signed-off-by:

In upstream kernels under SRIOV, the vlan register/unregister calls were NOPs (doing nothing and returning OK). We detect these old calls from guests (via the comm channel), since previously the port number in mlx4_register_vlan was passed (improperly) in the out_param. This has been corrected so that the port number is now passed in bits 8..15 of the in_modifier field. For old calls, these bits will be zero, so if the passed port number is zero, we can still look at the out_param field to see if it contains a valid port number. If yes, the VM is running an old driver. Since for old drivers, the register/unregister_vlan wrappers were NOPs, we continue this policy -- the reason being that upstream had an additional bug in eth driver running on guests (where procedure mlx4_en_vlan_rx_kill_vid() had the following code: if (!mlx4_find_cached_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, vid, &idx)) mlx4_unregister_vlan(mdev->dev, priv->port, idx); else en_err(priv, "could not find vid %d in cache\n", vid); On a VM, mlx4_find_cached_vlan() will always fail, since the vlan cache is located on the Hypervisor; on guests it is empty. Therefore, if we allow upstream guests to register vlans, we will have vlan leakage since the unregister will never be performed. Leaving vlan reg/unreg for old guest drivers as a NOP is not a feature regression, since in upstream the register/unregister vlan wrapper is a NOP. Signed-off-by: -

The functions mlx4_register_vlan, mlx4_unregister_vlan, mlx4_register_mac, mlx4_unregister_mac all made illegal use of the out_param in multifunc mode to pass the port number. The firmware spec specifies that the port number should be passed in bits 8..15 of the input-modifier field for ALLOC_RES and FREE_RES (sections 20.15.1 and 20.15.2). For MAC register/unregister, this patch contains workarounds so that guests running previous kernels continue to work on a new Hypervisor, and guests running the new kernel will continue to work on old hypervisors. Vlan registeration capability is still not operational in multifunction mode, since the vlan wrapper functions are not implemented in this patch. Signed-off-by:
