Ido Schimmel says: ==================== nexthop: Small changes This patch set contains a few small changes that I split out of the RFC I sent last week [1]. Main change is the conversion of the nexthop notification chain to a blocking chain so that it could be reused by device drivers for nexthop objects programming in the future. Tested with fib_nexthops.sh: Tests passed: 164 Tests failed: 0 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200908091037.2709823-1-idosch@idosch.org/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Commit c7cdbe2e ("vxlan: support for nexthop notifiers") registered a listener in the VXLAN driver to the nexthop notification chain. Its purpose is to cleanup FDB entries that use a nexthop that is being deleted. Test that such FDB entries are removed when the nexthop group that they use is deleted. Test that entries are not deleted when a single nexthop in the group is deleted. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, the in-kernel delete notification is emitted from the error path of nexthop_add() and replace_nexthop(), which can be confusing to in-kernel listeners as they are not familiar with the nexthop. Instead, only emit the notification when the nexthop is actually deleted. The following sub-cases are covered: 1. User space deletes the nexthop 2. The nexthop is deleted by the kernel due to a netdev event (e.g., nexthop device going down) 3. A group is deleted because its last nexthop is being deleted 4. The network namespace of the nexthop device is deleted Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, the only listener of the nexthop notification chain is the VXLAN driver. Subsequent patches will add more listeners (e.g., device drivers such as netdevsim) that need to be able to block when processing notifications. Therefore, convert the notification chain to a blocking one. This is safe as notifications are always emitted from process context.

As CHELSIO_INLINE_CRYPTO is bool, and CHELSIO_T4 is tristate, the dependency of CHELSIO_INLINE_CRYPTO on CHELSIO_T4 is not sufficient to protect CRYPTO_DEV_CHELSIO_TLS and CHELSIO_IPSEC_INLINE. The latter two are also tristate, hence if CHELSIO_T4=n, they cannot be builtin, as that would lead to link failures like: drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/inline_crypto/chtls/chtls_main.c:259: undefined reference to `cxgb4_port_viid' and drivers/net/ethernet/chelsio/inline_crypto/ch_ipsec/chcr_ipsec.c:752: undefined reference to `cxgb4_reclaim_completed_tx' Fix this by re-adding dependencies on CHELSIO_T4 to tristate symbols. The dependency of CHELSIO_INLINE_CRYPTO on CHELSIO_T4 is kept to avoid asking the user.

Currently drivers have to report their pause frames statistics via ethtool -S, and there is a wide variety of names used for these statistics. Add the two statistics defined in IEEE 802.3x to the standard API. Create a new ethtool request header flag for including statistics in the response to GET commands. Always create the ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS nest in replies when flag is set. Testing if driver declares the op is not a reliable way of checking if any stats will actually be included and therefore we don't want to give the impression that presence of ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS indicates driver support. Note that this patch does not include PFC counters, which may fit better in dcbnl? But mostly I don't need them/have a setup to test them so I haven't looked deeply into exposing them :) v3: - add a helper for "uninitializing" stats, rather than a cryptic memset() (Andrew) Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Documentation/networking/switchdev.txt and 'man bridge' indicate that the learning_sync bridge attribute is used to control whether a given device will sync MAC addresses learned on its device port to a master bridge FDB, where they will show up as 'extern_learn offload'. So we map qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set() to the learning_sync bridge link attribute. Turning off learning_sync will flush all extern_learn entries from the bridge fdb and all pending events from the card's work queue. When the hardware interface goes offline with learning_sync on (e.g. for HW recovery), all extern_learn entries will be flushed from the bridge fdb and all pending events from the card's work queue. When the interface goes online again, it will send new notifications for all then valid MACs. learning_sync attribute can not be modified while interface is offline. See 'commit e6e771b3 ("s390/qeth: detach netdevice while card is offline")' An alternative implementation would be to always offload the 'learning' attribute of a software bridge to the hardware interface attached to it and thus implicitly enable fdb notification. This was not chosen for 2 reasons: 1) In our case the software bridge is NOT a representation of a hardware switch. It is just connected to a smart NIC that is able to inform about the addresses attached to it. It is not necessarily using source MAC learning for this and other bridgeports can be attached to other NICs with different properties. 2) We want a means to enable this notification explicitly. There may be cases where a bridgeport is set to 'learning', but we do not want to enable the notification.

In case hardware sends more device-to-bridge-address-change notfications than the qeth-l2 driver can handle, the hardware will send an overflow event and then stop sending any events. It expects software to flush its FDB and start over again. Re-enabling address-change-notification will report all current addresses. In order to re-enable address-change-notification this patch defines the functions qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set() and qeth_l2_dev2br_an_set_cb to enable or disable dev-to-bridge-address-notification. A following patch will use the learning_sync bridgeport flag to trigger enabling or disabling of address-change-notification, so we define priv->brport_features to store the current setting. BRIDGE_INFO and ADDR_INFO functionality are mutually exclusive, whereas ADDR_INFO and qeth_l2_vnicc* can be used together. Alternative implementations to handle buffer overflow: Just re-enabling notification and adding all newly reported addresses would cover any lost 'add' events, but not the lost 'delete' events. Then these invalid addresses would stay in the bridge FDB as long as the device exists. Setting the net device down and up, would be an alternative, but is a bit drastic. If the net device has many secondary addresses this will create many delete/add events at its peers which could de-stabilize the network segment.

so the switchdev can notifiy the bridge to flush non-permanent fdb entries for this port. This is useful whenever the hardware fdb of the switchdev is reset, but the netdev and the bridgeport are not deleted. Note that this has the same effect as the IFLA_BRPORT_FLUSH attribute.

A qeth-l2 HiperSockets card can show switch-ish behaviour in the sense, that it can report all MACs that are reachable via this interface. Just like a switch device, it can notify the software bridge about changes to its fdb. This patch exploits this device-to-bridge-notification and extracts the relevant information from the hardware events to generate notifications to an attached software bridge. There are 2 sources for this information: 1) The reply message of Perform-Network-Subchannel-Operations (PNSO) (operation code ADDR_INFO) reports all addresses that are currently reachable (implemented in a later patch). 2) As long as device-to-bridge-notification is enabled, hardware will generate address change notification events, whenever the content of the hardware fdb changes (this patch). The bridge_hostnotify feature (PNSO operation code BRIDGE_INFO) uses the same address change notification events. We need to distinguish between qeth_pnso_mode QETH_PNSO_BRIDGEPORT and QETH_PNSO_ADDR_INFO and call a different handler. In both cases deadlocks must be prevented, if the workqueue is drained under lock and QETH_PNSO_NONE, when notification is disabled. bridge_hostnotify generates udev events, there is no intend to do the same for dev2br. Instead this patch will generate SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_BRIDGE and SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_BRIDGE notifications, that will cause the software bridge to add (or delete) entries to its fdb as 'extern_learn offload'. Documentation/networking/switchdev.txt proposes to add "depends NET_SWITCHDEV" to driver's Kconfig. This is not done here, so even in absence of the NET_SWITCHDEV module, the QETH_L2 module will still be built, but then the switchdev notifiers will have no effect. No VLAN filtering is done on the entries and VLAN information is not passed on to the bridge fdb entries. This could be added later. For now VLAN interfaces can be defined on the upper bridge interface. Multicast entries are not passed on to the bridge fdb. This could be added later. For now mcast flooding can be used in the bridge. The card reports all MACs that are in its FDB, but we must not pass on MACs that are registered for this interface.

This patch detects whether device-to-bridge-notification, provided by the Perform Network Subchannel Operation (PNSO) operation code ADDR_INFO (OC3), is supported by this card. A following patch will map this to the learning_sync bridgeport flag, so we store it in priv->brport_hw_features in bridgeport flag format. Only IQD cards provide PNSO. There is a feature bit to indicate whether the machine provides OC3, unfortunately it is not set on old machines. So PNSO is called to find out. As this will disable notification and is exclusive with bridgeport_notification, this must be done during card initialisation before previous settings are restored. PNSO functionality requires some configuration values that are added to the qeth_card.info structure. Some helper functions are defined to fill them out when the card is brought online and some other places are adapted, that can also benefit from these fields.

For EPOLLET, applications must call sendmsg until they get EAGAIN. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that EPOLLOUT is sent if there was a failure upon memory allocation. As a result on high-speed NICs, userspace observes multiple small sendmsgs after a partial sendmsg until EAGAIN, since TCP can send 1-2 TSOs in between two sendmsg syscalls: // One large partial send due to memory allocation failure. sendmsg(20MB) = 2MB // Many small sends until EAGAIN. sendmsg(18MB) = 64KB sendmsg(17.9MB) = 128KB sendmsg(17.8MB) = 64KB ... sendmsg(...) = EAGAIN // At this point, userspace can assume an EPOLLOUT. To fix this, set the SOCK_NOSPACE on all partial sendmsg scenarios to guarantee that we send EPOLLOUT after partial sendmsg. After this commit userspace can assume that it will receive an EPOLLOUT after the first partial sendmsg. This EPOLLOUT will benefit from sk_stream_write_space() logic delaying the EPOLLOUT until significant space is available in write queue.

If there was any event available on the TCP socket, tcp_poll() will be called to retrieve all the events. In tcp_poll(), we call sk_stream_is_writeable() which returns true as long as we are at least one byte below notsent_lowat. This will result in quite a few spurious EPLLOUT and frequent tiny sendmsg() calls as a result. Similar to sk_stream_write_space(), use __sk_stream_is_writeable with a wake value of 1, so that we set EPOLLOUT only if half the space is available for write.
