The ability to change the max_rx_aggregation frames is useful in cases of IOP. There exist some devices (latest mobile phones and some AP's) that tend to not respect a BA sessions maximum size (in Kbps). These devices won't respect the AMPDU size that was negotiated during association (even though they do respect the maximal number of packets). This violation is characterized by a valid number of packets in a single AMPDU. Even so, the total size will exceed the size negotiated during association. Eventually, this will cause some undefined behavior, which in turn causes the hw to drop packets, causing the throughput to plummet. This patch will make the subframe limitation to be held by each station, instead of being held only by hw. Signed-off-by:

The workqueue "cfg80211_wq" is involved in cleanup, scan and event related works. It queues multiple work items &rdev->event_work, &rdev->dfs_update_channels_wk, &wiphy_to_rdev(request->wiphy)->scan_done_wk, &wiphy_to_rdev(wiphy)->sched_scan_results_wk, which require strict execution ordering. Hence, an ordered dedicated workqueue has been used. Since it's a wireless driver, WQ_MEM_RECLAIM has been set to ensure forward progress under memory pressure. Signed-off-by:

This patch allows GET_INTERFACE dumps to be filtered based on NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY or NL80211_ATTR_WDEV. The documentation for GET_INTERFACE mentions that this is possible: "Request an interface's configuration; either a dump request on a %NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY or ..." However, this behavior has not been implemented until now. Johannes: rewrite most of the patch: * use nl80211_dump_wiphy_parse() to also allow passing an interface to be able to dump its siblings * fix locking (must hold rtnl around using nl80211_fam.attrbuf) * make init self-contained instead of relying on other cb->args Signed-off-by:

While migrating the bcm_sf2 driver to use b53_common, we left a small piece untouched where we kept our local copy of the per-port port_vlan_ctl bitmask value. This value is now maintained by b53_device so we need to use it instead of our local (and now stale) copy of it. Fixes: f458995b ("net: dsa: bcm_sf2: Utilize core B53 driver when possible") Signed-off-by:

David Ahern says: ==================== net: Convert vrf to tx hook The motivation for this series is that ICMP Unreachable - Fragmentation Needed packets are not handled properly for VRFs. Specifically, the FIB lookup in __ip_rt_update_pmtu fails so no nexthop exception is created with the reduced MTU. As a result connections stall if packets larger than the smallest MTU in the path are generated. While investigating that problem I also noticed that the MSS for all connections in a VRF is based on the VRF device's MTU and not the route the packets ultimately go through. VRF currently uses a dst to direct packets to the device. The first FIB lookup returns this dst and then the lookup in the VRF driver gets the actual output route. A side effect of this design is that the VRF dst is cached on sockets and then used for calculations like the MSS. This series fixes this problem by removing the hook in the FIB lookups that returns the dst pointing to the VRF device to the VRF and always doing the actual FIB lookup. This allows the real dst to be used throughout the stack (for example the MSS). Packets are diverted to the VRF device on Tx using an l3mdev hook in the output path similar to to what is done for Rx. The end result is a simpler implementation for VRF with fewer intrusions into the network stack and symmetrical packet handling for Rx and Tx paths. Comparison of netperf performance for a build without l3mdev (best case performance), the old vrf driver and the VRF driver from this series. Data are collected using VMs with virtio + vhost. The netperf client runs in the VM and netserver runs in the host. 1-byte RR tests are done as these packets exaggerate the performance hit due to the extra lookups done for l3mdev and VRF. Command: netperf -cC -H ${ip} -l 60 -t {TCP,UDP}_RR [-J red] TCP_RR UDP_RR IPv4 IPv6 IPv4 IPv6 no l3mdev 29,996 30,601 31,638 24,336 vrf old 27,417 27,626 29,159 24,801 vrf new 28,036 28,372 30,110 24,857 l3mdev, no vrf 29,534 30,465 30,670 24,346 * Transactions per second as reported by netperf * netperf modified to take a bind-to-device argument -- the -J red option 1. 'no l3mdev' == NET_L3_MASTER_DEV is unset so code is compiled out 2. 'vrf old' == data for existing implementation 3. 'vrf new' == data with this series 4. 'l3mdev, no vrf' == NET_L3_MASTER_DEV is enabled but traffic is not going through a VRF About the series - patch 1 adds the flow update (changing oif or iif to L3 master device and setting the flag to skip the oif check) to ipv4 and ipv6 paths just before hitting the rules. This catches all code paths in a single spot. - patch 2 adds the Tx hook to push the packet to the l3mdev if relevant - patch 3 adds some checks so the vrf device can act as a vrf-local loopback. These changes were not needed before since the vrf dst was returned from the lookup. - patches 4 and 5 flip the ipv4 and ipv6 stacks to the tx hook leaving the route lookup to be the real one. The dst flip happens at the beginning of the L3 output path so the VRFs can have device based features such as netfilter, tc and tcpdump. - patches 6-11 remove no longer needed l3mdev code v2 - properly handle IPv6 link scope addresses - keep the device xmit path and associated dst which is switched in by the l3_out hook. packets still need to go through the xmit path in case the user puts a qdisc on the vrf device and to allow tc rules. version 1 short circuited the tx handling and only covered netfilter and tcpdump. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

David Ahern authored
Flip the IPv6 output path to use the l3mdev tx out hook. The VRF dst is not returned on the first FIB lookup. Instead, the dst on the skb is switched at the beginning of the IPv6 output processing to send the packet to the VRF driver on xmit. Link scope addresses (linklocal and multicast) need special handling: specifically the oif the flow struct can not be changed because we want the lookup tied to the enslaved interface. ie., the source address and the returned route MUST point to the interface scope passed in. Convert the existing vrf_get_rt6_dst to handle only link scope addresses. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the infrastructure to the output path to pass an skb to an l3mdev device if it has a hook registered. This is the Tx parallel to l3mdev_ip{6}_rcv in the receive path and is the basis for removing the existing hook that returns the vrf dst on the fib lookup. Signed-off-by: -

Add l3mdev hook to set FLOWI_FLAG_SKIP_NH_OIF flag and update oif/iif in flow struct if its oif or iif points to a device enslaved to an L3 Master device. Only 1 needs to be converted to match the l3mdev FIB rule. This moves the flow adjustment for l3mdev to a single point catching all lookups. It is redundant for existing hooks (those are removed in later patches) but is needed for missed lookups such as PMTU updates. Signed-off-by:

Willem noticed that we could avoid an rbtree lookup if the the attempt to coalesce incoming skb to the last skb failed for some reason. Since most ooo additions are at the tail, this is definitely worth adding a test and fast path. Suggested-by:

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox 100G mlx5 seamless error recovery This series from Mohamad improves the driver load/unload flows to seamlessly handle pci errors and device internal errors recovery reset flows. Current pci and internal error handling is too heavy and is done with a full restart of the driver by unregistering mlx5 interfaces (mlx5e netedevs and mlx5_ib) which will cause losing all the current interfaces and mlx5 core configurations. To improve this, we add new callback functions of mlx5 interface object (attach/detach) to be called upon reset flows when errors are detected rather than calling register and unregister interfaces. On their side, interfaces such as (mlx5e and mlx5_ib) can choose to implement those callback, if not, the old heavy reset will be called for that interface. For non-interface mlx5 modules such as sriov and eswitch, we refactored and reorganized the code in a way that the software state objects are created only once on driver load. Those software state objects are kept upon reset recovery flows and only freed once on driver unload. On seamless soft reset flows, only hardware resources are released on stop and re-allocated on start according to the current soft state. In this series only mlx5e interface implements attach/detach callbacks so that the netdevice will be kept alive on reset. On detach only hardware resources are released and the netdevice will be marked as detached to the stack. Once attached again it will re-allocate the hardware resources according to the current netdevice state, and all the configurations and the software state will be kept or restored after recovery. Note: I will be out of office all next week, in case of any updates or V2 is required, Tariq will post the new series, I hope it is ok. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Gather all software context creating/destroying in one function and call it once in the first load and in the last unload. load/unload functions will now receive indication if we need to create/destroy the software contexts. In internal/pci error do the unload/load flows without releasing the software objects. In this way we perserve the sw core state and it help us restoring old driver state after PCI error/shutdown.
