      net: netcp: Add Keystone NetCP core ethernet driver · 84640e27
      Karicheri, Muralidharan authored
      The network coprocessor (NetCP) is a hardware accelerator available in
      Keystone SoCs that processes Ethernet packets. NetCP consists of following
      hardware components
      
       1 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) subsystem with a Ethernet switch sub-module to
         send and receive packets.
       2 Packet Accelerator (PA) module to perform packet classification
         operations such as header matching, and packet modification operations
         such as checksum generation.
       3 Security Accelerator(SA) capable of performing IPSec operations on
         ingress/egress packets.
       4 An optional 10 Gigabit Ethernet Subsystem (XGbE) which includes a
         3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and 1Gb/s rates
         per Ethernet port.
       5 Packet DMA and Queue Management Subsystem (QMSS) to enqueue and dequeue
         packets and DMA the packets between memory and NetCP hardware components
         described above.
      
      NetCP core driver make use of the Keystone Navigator driver API to allocate
      DMA channel for the Ethenet device and to handle packet queue/de-queue,
      Please refer API's in include/linux/soc/ti/knav_dma.h and
      drivers/soc/ti/knav_qmss.h for details.
      
      NetCP driver consists of NetCP core driver and at a minimum Gigabit
      Ethernet (GBE) module (1) driver to implement the Network device function.
      Other modules (2,3) can be optionally added to achieve supported hardware
      acceleration function. The initial version of the driver include NetCP
      core driver and GBE driver modules.
      
      Please refer Documentation/devicetree/bindings/net/keystone-netcp.txt
      for design of the driver.

      includes a 3-port Ethernet switch sub-module capable of 10Gb/s and
      1Gb/s rates per Ethernet port.
      
      NetCP Subsystem device tree layout looks something like below:
      
      -----------------------------
        NetCP subsystem(10G or 1G)

      Merge branch 'link_netns' · 7f9091f0
      David S. Miller authored
      Merge branch 'link_netns'
      
      Nicolas Dichtel says:
      
      ====================
      netns: allow to identify peer netns
      
      The goal of this serie is to be able to multicast netlink messages with an
      attribute that identify a peer netns.
      This is needed by the userland to interpret some information contained in
      netlink messages (like IFLA_LINK value, but also some other attributes in case
      of x-netns netdevice (see also
      http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/315933/focus=316064 and
      http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/28301/focus=4239)).
      
      Ids of peer netns can be set by userland via a new rtnl cmd RTM_NEWNSID. When
      the kernel needs an id for a peer (for example when advertising a new x-netns
      interface via netlink), if the user didn't allocate an id, one will be
      automatically allocated.
      These ids are stored per netns and are local (ie only valid in the netns where
      they are set). To avoid allocating an int for each peer netns, I use
      idr_for_each() to retrieve the id of a peer netns. Note that it will be possible
      to add a table (struct net -> id) later to optimize this lookup if needed.
      
      Patch 1/4 introduces the rtnetlink API mechanism to set and get these ids.
      Patch 2/4 and 3/4 implements an example of how to use these ids when advertising
      information about a x-netns interface.
      And patch 4/4 shows that the netlink messages can be symetric between a GET and
      a SET.
      
      iproute2 patches are available, I can send them on demand.
      
      Here is a small screenshot to show how it can be used by userland.
      
      $ ip netns add foo
      $ ip netns del foo
      $ ip netns
      $ touch /var/run/netns/init_net
      $ mount --bind /proc/1/ns/net /var/run/netns/init_net
      $ ip netns add foo
      $ ip -n foo netns
      foo
      init_net
      $ ip -n foo netns set init_net 0
      $ ip -n foo netns set foo 1
      
      $ ip netns
      foo
      init_net
      $ ip -n foo netns
      foo (id: 1)
      init_net (id: 0)
      
      $ ip -n foo link add ipip1 link-netnsid 0 type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249
      $ ip -n foo link ls ipip1
      6: ipip1@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
          link/ipip 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 link-netnsid 0
      
      $ ip netns
      foo
      init_net
      $ ip -n foo link add ipip2 type ipip remote 10.16.0.121 local 10.16.0.249
      $ ip -n foo link set ipip2 netns init_net
      $ ip link ls ipip2
      7: ipip2@NONE: <POINTOPOINT,NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default
          link/ipip 10.16.0.249 peer 10.16.0.121 link-netnsid 0
      $ ip netns
      foo (id: 0)
      init_net
      
      v4 -> v5:
        use rtnetlink instead of genetlink
        allocate automatically an id if user didn't assign one
        rename include/uapi/linux/netns.h to include/uapi/linux/net_namespace.h
        add vxlan in patch #3
      
      RFCv3 -> v4:
        rebase on net-next
        add copyright text in the new netns.h file
      
      RFCv2 -> RFCv3:
        ids are now defined by userland (via netlink). Ids are stored in each netns
        (and they are local to this netns).
        add get_link_net support for ip6 tunnels
        netnsid is now a s32 instead of a u32
      
      RFCv1 -> RFCv2:
        remove useless ()
        ids are now stored in the user ns. It's possible to get an id for a peer netns
        only if the current netns and the peer netns have the same user ns parent.

      rtnl: allow to create device with IFLA_LINK_NETNSID set · 317f4810
      Nicolas Dichtel authored
      This patch adds the ability to create a netdevice in a specified netns and
      then move it into the final netns. In fact, it allows to have a symetry between
      get and set rtnl messages.

      rtnl: add link netns id to interface messages · d37512a2
      Nicolas Dichtel authored
      This patch adds a new attribute (IFLA_LINK_NETNSID) which contains the 'link'
      netns id when this netns is different from the netns where the interface
      stands (for example for x-net interfaces like ip tunnels).
      With this attribute, it's possible to interpret correctly all advertised
      information (like IFLA_LINK, etc.).

      netns: add rtnl cmd to add and get peer netns ids · 0c7aecd4
      Nicolas Dichtel authored
      With this patch, a user can define an id for a peer netns by providing a FD or a
      PID. These ids are local to the netns where it is added (ie valid only into this
      netns).
      
      The main function (ie the one exported to other module), peernet2id(), allows to
      get the id of a peer netns. If no id has been assigned by the user, this
      function allocates one.
      
      These ids will be used in netlink messages to point to a peer netns, for example
      in case of a x-netns interface.
