For i350 VLAN stripping for VMs is not enabled in the VMOLR register but in the DVMOLR register. Making the changes accordingly. It's not necessary to unset the E1000_VMOLR_STRVLAN bit on i350 as the hardware will simply ignore it. Without this change if a VLAN is configured for a VF assigned to a guest via (i.e.) ip link set p1p1 vf 0 vlan 10 the VLAN tag will not be stripped from packets going into the VM. Which they should be because the VM itself is not aware of the VLAN at all.

The current code would always return 0 for VLAN-encapsulated IP traffic. One notable side effect was that VLAN traffic would never get prioritized on OSD and OSX devices when priority queueing modes prio_queueing_tos or prio_queueing_prec were enabled.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e, i40evf, e1000e, ixgbe and ixgbevf. Mitch adds support for the VF link state ndo which allows the PF driver to control the virtual link state of the VF devices. Added support for viewing and modifying RSS hash options and RSS hash look-up table programming through ethtool for i40evf. Fixed complaint about the use of min() where min_t() should be used in i40evf. Anjali adds support for ethtool -k option for NTUPLE control for i40e. Elizabeth cleans up and refactors i40e_open() to separate out the VSI code into its own i40e_vsi_open(). Jesse enables the hardware feature head write back to avoid updating the descriptor ring by marking each descriptor with a DD bit and instead writes a memory location with an update to where the driver should clean up to in i40e and i40evf. Reduces context descriptors for i40e/i40evf since we do not need context descriptors for every packet, only for TSO or timesync. Dan Carpenter fixes a potential array underflow in i40e_vc_process_vf_msg(). Dave fixes an e1000e hardware unit hang where the check for pending Tx work when link is lost was mistakenly moved to be done only when link is first detected to be lost. Fixed a problem with poor network performance on certain silicon in e1000e when configured for 100M HDX performance. Carolyn adds register defines needed for time sync functions and the code to call the updated defines. Jacob adds the ixgbe function for writing PCI config word and checks whether the adapter has been removed first. Mark adds the bit __IXGBEVF_REMOVING to indicate that the module is being removed because the __IXGBEVF_DOWN bit had been overloaded for this purpose, but leads to trouble. ixgbevf_down function can now prevent multiple executions by doing test_and_set_bit on __IXGBEVF_DOWN. v2: - dropped patch Mitch's patch "i40evf: Support RSS option in ethtool" based on feedback from Ben Hutchings so that Mitch can re-work the patch solution v3: - removed unnecessary parenthesis in patch 1 based on feedback from David Miller - changed a macro to get the next queue to a function in patch 2 based on feedback from David Miller - added blank lines after variable declaration and code in two functions in patch 6 based on feedback from David Miller ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The ixgbevf_down function can now prevent multiple executions by doing test_and_set_bit on __IXGBEVF_DOWN. This did not work before introduction of the __IXGBEVF_REMOVING bit, because of overloading of __IXGBEVF_DOWN. Also add smp_mb__before_clear_bit call before clearing the __IXGBEVF_DOWN bit.

The check for pending Tx work when link is lost was mistakenly moved to be done only when link is first detected to be lost. It turns out there is a small window of opportunity for additional Tx work to get queued up shortly after link is dropped. Move the check back to the place it was before in the watchdog task. Put in additional debug information for other reset paths and a final catch-all for false hangs in the scheduled function that prints out the hardware hang message.

If "vf_id" is smaller than hw->func_caps.vf_base_id then it leads to an array underflow of the pf->vf[] array. This is unlikely to happen unless the hardware is bad, but it's a small change and it silences a static checker warning.

The HLUT programming loop in in i40evf_configure_rss was a) overly- complicated, and b) just plain broken. Most of the entries ended up being not written at all, so most of the flows ended up at queue zero. Refactor the HLUT programming loop to simply walk through the registers and write four values to each one, incrementing through the number of available queues.

This netdev op allows the PF driver to control the virtual link state of the VF devices. This can be used to deny naughty VF drivers access to the wire, or to allow VFs (regardless of temperament) to communicate with each other over the device's internal switch even though external link is down. Add the actual ndo function, and modify vc_notify_link_state to check the link status of each VF before sending a message in the case when physical link changes state.

In commit b4e9b520 ("[NET_SCHED]: Add mask support to fwmark classifier") Patrick added an u32 field in fw_head, making it slightly bigger than one page. Lets use 256 slots to make fw_hash() more straight forward, and move @mask to the beginning of the structure as we often use a small number of skb->mark. @mask and first hash buckets share the same cache line. This brings back the memory usage to less than 4000 bytes, and permits John to add a rcu_head at the end of the structure later without any worry.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== One patch to rename a newly introduced struct. The rest is the rework of the IPsec virtual tunnel interface for ipv6 to support inter address family tunneling and namespace crossing. 1) Rename the newly introduced struct xfrm_filter to avoid a conflict with iproute2. From Nicolas Dichtel. 2) Introduce xfrm_input_afinfo to access the address family dependent tunnel callback functions properly. 3) Add and use a IPsec protocol multiplexer for ipv6. 4) Remove dst_entry caching. vti can lookup multiple different dst entries, dependent of the configured xfrm states. Therefore it does not make to cache a dst_entry. 5) Remove caching of flow informations. vti6 does not use the the tunnel endpoint addresses to do route and xfrm lookups. 6) Update the vti6 to use its own receive hook. 7) Remove the now unused xfrm_tunnel_notifier. This was used from vti and is replaced by the IPsec protocol multiplexer hooks. 8) Support inter address family tunneling for vti6. 9) Check if the tunnel endpoints of the xfrm state and the vti interface are matching and return an error otherwise. 10) Enable namespace crossing for vti devices. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Vince Bridgers says: ==================== Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) Driver This is the version 6 submission for the Altera Triple Speed Ethernet (TSE) driver. All comments received during the version 2, 3, 4, and 5 submissions have been accepted. Please find the change log and a description of the submission below. If you find the submission acceptable, please consider this patch set for inclusion into the Linux kernel. V6: Address comments from V5 review - add call to skb_tx_timestamp in the drivers transmit path - correct use of unsigned int where it was cast to pointer. Use types appropriate for intended and correct use to let the compiler warn us when type usage is incorrect. - use correct semantics for pointer arithmetic in same code path V5: Address comments from V4 review - Add descriptions of statistics to driver documentation. The statstics supported by the driver/controller map to IEEE and RFC statistics, and the names and mappings are described in the user documentation. - Change "unsigned int" to u32 in device structure definitions - Change used of netdev_warn to netif_warn in altera_sgdma.c - Change stat name rx_fifo_drops to ether_drops to match the event actually counted by the hardware. V4: Address comments from V3 review - Change statistics names in ethtool module to follow common use in other ethernet drivers. - remove an unnecessary case in ethtool module - change logging to use netdev_* where possible instead of dev_* - remove logging for OOM errors since those are already logged V3: Address comments from V2 review - Reorder patch submission so that net/ethernet Makefile and Kconfig are committed last, thus not breaking bisect - Use of_get_mac_address instead of of_get_property - Change supplemental and hash configuration bindings to boolean/empty, and more meaningful names - Add check for failure from calls to of_phy_connect and connect_local_phy - Correct code to find mdio child node - Update bindings document - Remove cast to u64 when not necessary - add use of const for statistics strings V2: Address comments from initial RFC review. - The driver files were broken up by major sections of functionality. These include MSGDMA, SGDMA, Misc, and Main. - Add patch for MAINTAINERS file, add the maintainer for this submission - Use 32-bit lower/upper physical address accessor functions so the driver is 64-bit ready. - Use standard bindings where applicable. Especially phy-addr, and change "altr,rx-fifo-depth" to "rx-fifo-depth" and "altr,tx-fifo-depth" to "tx-fifo-depth". - Add use of max-frame-size property - Update bindings documents accordingly - Correct interrupt handler to use budget parameter in the convential way - Use macros consistently to define bit fields across files - Correct include exclusion macro in altera_msgdmahw.h (typo) - Remove use of barriers, these were not necessary since the DMA APIs ensure memory & buffer consistency - Remove use of netif_carrier_off in driver - move probing of phy from the open function to the probe function - use of_get_phy_mode instead of custom function - Use the .data field in the device structure to obtain a pointer to SGDMA or MSGDMA device specific properties and functions. - remove custom function to access devicetree since Altera specific bindings requiring it's use have been deprecated in favor of standard bindings. The Altera TSE is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet soft IP component that can be configured and synthesized using Quartus, and programmed into Altera FPGAs. Two types of soft DMA IP components are supported by this driver - the Altera SGDMA and the MSGDMA. The MSGDMA DMA component is preferred over the SGDMA, since the SGDMA will be deprecated in favor of the MSGDMA. Software supporting both is provided for customers still using the SGDMA and to demonstrate how multiple types of DMA engines may be supported by the TSE driver in the event customers wish to develop their own custom soft DMA engine for particular applications. The design has been tested on Altera's Cyclone 4, 5, and Cyclone 5 SOC development kits using an ARM A9 processor and an Altera NIOS2 processor. Differences in CPU/DMA coherency management and address alignment are addressed by proper use of driver APIs and semantics. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
