Ido Schimmel says: ==================== net: Add route offload indication This patch set adds offload indication to IPv4 and IPv6 routes. So far offload indication was only available for the nexthop via 'RTNH_F_OFFLOAD', which is problematic as a nexthop is usually shared between multiple routes. Based on feedback from Roopa and David on the RFC [1], the indication is split to 'offload' and 'trap'. This is done because not all the routes present in hardware actually offload traffic from the kernel. For example, host routes merely trap packets to the kernel. The two flags are dumped to user space via the 'rtm_flags' field in the ancillary header of the rtnetlink message. In addition, the patch set uses the new flags in order to test the FIB offload API by adding a dummy FIB offload implementation to netdevsim. The new tests are added to a shared library and can be therefore shared between different drivers. Patches #1-#3 add offload indication to IPv4 routes. Patches #4 adds offload indication to IPv6 routes. Patches #5-#6 add support for the offload indication in mlxsw. Patch #7 adds dummy FIB offload implementation in netdevsim. Patches #8-#10 add selftests. v2 (feedback from David Ahern): * Patch #2: Name last argument of fib_dump_info() * Patch #2: Move 'struct fib_rt_info' to include/net/ip_fib.h so that it could later be passed to fib_alias_hw_flags_set() * Patch #3: Make use of 'struct fib_rt_info' in fib_alias_hw_flags_set() * Patch #6: Convert to new fib_alias_hw_flags_set() interface * Patch #7: Convert to new fib_alias_hw_flags_set() interface [1] https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/cover/1170530/ ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Implement dummy IPv4 and IPv6 FIB "offload" in the driver by storing currently "programmed" routes in a hash table. Each route in the hash table is marked with "trap" indication. The indication is cleared when the route is replaced or when the netdevsim instance is deleted. This will later allow us to test the route offload API on top of netdevsim. v2: * Convert to new fib_alias_hw_flags_set() interface Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Previous patches added support for two hardware flags for IPv4 and IPv6 routes: 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' and 'RTM_F_TRAP'. Both indicate the presence of the route in hardware. The first indicates that traffic is actually offloaded from the kernel, whereas the second indicates that packets hitting such routes are trapped to the kernel for processing (e.g., host routes). Use these two flags in mlxsw. The flags are modified in two places. Firstly, whenever a route is updated in the device's table. This includes the addition, deletion or update of a route. For example, when a host route is promoted to perform NVE decapsulation, its action in the device is updated, the 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' flag set and the 'RTM_F_TRAP' flag cleared. Secondly, when a route is replaced and overwritten by another route, its flags are cleared. v2: * Convert to new fib_alias_hw_flags_set() interface Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Acked-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The driver currently uses the 'RTNH_F_OFFLOAD' flag for both routes and nexthops, which is cumbersome and unnecessary now that we have separate flag for the route itself. Separate the offload indication for nexthops from routes and call it whenever the offload state within the nexthop group changes. Note that IPv6 (unlike IPv4) does not share the same nexthop group between different routes, whereas mlxsw does. Therefore, whenever the offload indication within an IPv6 nexthop group changes, all the linked routes need to be updated.

When performing L3 offload, routes and nexthops are usually programmed into two different tables in the underlying device. Therefore, the fact that a nexthop resides in hardware does not necessarily mean that all the associated routes also reside in hardware and vice-versa. While the kernel can signal to user space the presence of a nexthop in hardware (via 'RTNH_F_OFFLOAD'), it does not have a corresponding flag for routes. In addition, the fact that a route resides in hardware does not necessarily mean that the traffic is offloaded. For example, unreachable routes (i.e., 'RTN_UNREACHABLE') are programmed to trap packets to the CPU so that the kernel will be able to generate the appropriate ICMP error packet. This patch adds an "offload" and "trap" indications to IPv4 routes, so that users will have better visibility into the offload process. 'struct fib_alias' is extended with two new fields that indicate if the route resides in hardware or not and if it is offloading traffic from the kernel or trapping packets to it. Note that the new fields are added in the 6 bytes hole and therefore the struct still fits in a single cache line [1]. Capable drivers are expected to invoke fib_alias_hw_flags_set() with the route's key in order to set the flags. The indications are dumped to user space via a new flags (i.e., 'RTM_F_OFFLOAD' and 'RTM_F_TRAP') in the 'rtm_flags' field in the ancillary header. v2: * Make use of 'struct fib_rt_info' in fib_alias_hw_flags_set() [1] struct fib_alias { struct hlist_node fa_list; /* 0 16 */ struct fib_info * fa_info; /* 16 8 */ u8 fa_tos; /* 24 1 */ u8 fa_type; /* 25 1 */ u8 fa_state; /* 26 1 */ u8 fa_slen; /* 27 1 */ u32 tb_id; /* 28 4 */ s16 fa_default; /* 32 2 */ u8 offload:1; /* 34: 0 1 */ u8 trap:1; /* 34: 1 1 */ u8 unused:6; /* 34: 2 1 */ /* XXX 5 bytes hole, try to pack */ struct callback_head rcu __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); /* 40 16 */ /* size: 56, cachelines: 1, members: 12 */ /* sum members: 50, holes: 1, sum holes: 5 */ /* sum bitfield members: 8 bits (1 bytes) */ /* forced alignments: 1, forced holes: 1, sum forced holes: 5 */ /* last cacheline: 56 bytes */ } __attribute__((__aligned__(8))); Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

fib_dump_info() is used to prepare RTM_{NEW,DEL}ROUTE netlink messages using the passed arguments. Currently, the function takes 11 arguments, 6 of which are attributes of the route being dumped (e.g., prefix, TOS). The next patch will need the function to also dump to user space an indication if the route is present in hardware or not. Instead of passing yet another argument, change the function to take a struct containing the different route attributes. v2: * Name last argument of fib_dump_info() * Move 'struct fib_rt_info' to include/net/ip_fib.h so that it could later be passed to fib_alias_hw_flags_set() Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Subsequent patches will add an offload / trap indication to routes which will signal if the route is present in hardware or not. After programming the route to the hardware, drivers will have to ask the IPv4 code to set the flags by passing the route's key. In the case of route replace, the new route is notified before it is actually inserted into the FIB alias list. This can prevent simple drivers (e.g., netdevsim) that program the route to the hardware in the same context it is notified in from being able to set the flag. Solve this by first inserting the new route to the list and rollback the operation in case the route was vetoed.

The important part of qrtr_port_lookup() wrt synchronization is that the function returns a reference counted struct qrtr_sock, or fail. As such we need only to ensure that an decrement of the object's refcount happens inbetween the finding of the object in the idr and qrtr_port_lookup()'s own increment of the object. By using RCU and putting a synchronization point after we remove the mapping from the idr, but before it can be released we achieve this - with the benefit of not having to hold the mutex in qrtr_port_lookup().

In order to prevent overconsumption of resources on the remote side QRTR implements a flow control mechanism. The mechanism works by the sender keeping track of the number of outstanding unconfirmed messages that has been transmitted to a particular node/port pair. Upon count reaching a low watermark (L) the confirm_rx bit is set in the outgoing message and when the count reaching a high watermark (H) transmission will be blocked upon the reception of a resume_tx message from the remote, that resets the counter to 0. This guarantees that there will be at most 2H - L messages in flight. Values chosen for L and H are 5 and 10 respectively.

Antoine Tenart says: ==================== net: macsec: initial support for hardware offloading This series intends to add support for offloading MACsec transformations to hardware enabled devices. The series adds the necessary infrastructure for offloading MACsec configurations to hardware drivers, in patches 1 to 5; then introduces MACsec offloading support in the Microsemi MSCC PHY driver, in patches 6 to 10. The series can also be found at: https://github.com/atenart/linux/tree/net-next/macsec IProute2 modifications can be found at: https://github.com/atenart/iproute2/tree/macsec MACsec hardware offloading infrastructure ----------------------------------------- Linux has a software implementation of the MACsec standard. There are hardware engines supporting MACsec operations, such as the Intel ixgbe NIC and some Microsemi PHYs (the one we use in this series). This means the MACsec offloading infrastructure should support networking PHY and MAC drivers. Note that MAC driver preliminary support is part of this series, but should not be merged before we actually have a provider for this. We do intend in this series to re-use the logic, netlink API and data structures of the existing MACsec software implementation. This allows not to duplicate definitions and structure storing the same information; as well as using the same userspace tools to configure both software or hardware offloaded MACsec flows (with `ip macsec`). When adding a new MACsec virtual interface the existing logic is kept: offloading is disabled by default. A user driven configuration choice is needed to switch to offloading mode (a patch in iproute2 is needed for this). A single MACsec interface can be offloaded for now, and some limitations are there: no flow can be moved from one implementation to the other so the decision needs to be done before configuring the interface. MACsec offloading ops are called in 2 steps: a preparation one, and a commit one. The first step is allowed to fail and should be used to check if a provided configuration is compatible with a given MACsec capable hardware. The second step is not allowed to fail and should only be used to enable a given MACsec configuration. A limitation as of now is the counters and statistics are not reported back from the hardware to the software MACsec implementation. This isn't an issue when using offloaded MACsec transformations, but it should be added in the future so that the MACsec state can be reported to the user (which would also improve the debug). Microsemi PHY MACsec support ---------------------------- In order to add support for the MACsec offloading feature in the Microsemi MSCC PHY driver, the __phy_read_page and __phy_write_page helpers had to be exported. This is because the initialization of the PHY is done while holding the MDIO bus lock, and we need to change the page to configure the MACsec block. The support itself is then added in three patches. The first one adds support for configuring the MACsec block within the PHY, so that it is up, running and available for future configuration, but is not doing any modification on the traffic passing through the PHY. The second patch implements the phy_device MACsec ops in the Microsemi MSCC PHY driver, and introduce helpers to configure MACsec transformations and flows to match specific packets. The last one adds support for PN rollover. Thanks! Antoine Since v5: - Fixed a compilation issue due to an inclusion from an UAPI header. - Added an EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL for the PN rollover helper, to fix module compilation issues. - Added a dependency for the MSCC driver on MACSEC || MACSEC=n. - Removed the patches including the MAC offloading support as they are not to be applied for now. Since v4: - Reworked the MACsec read and write functions in the MSCC PHY driver to remove the conditional locking. Since v3: - Fixed a check when enabling offloading that was too restrictive. - Fixed the propagation of the changelink event to the underlying device drivers. Since v2: - Allow selection the offloading from userspace, defaulting to the software implementation when adding a new MACsec interface. The offloading mode is now also reported through netlink. - Added support for letting MKA packets in and out when using MACsec (there are rules to let them bypass the MACsec h/w engine within the PHY). - Added support for PN rollover (following what's currently done in the software implementation: the flow is disabled). - Split patches to remove MAC offloading support for now, as there are no current provider for this (patches are still included). - Improved a few parts of the MACsec support within the MSCC PHY driver (e.g. default rules now block non-MACsec traffic, depending on the configuration). - Many cosmetic fixes & small improvements. Since v1: - Reworked the MACsec offloading API, moving from a single helper called for all MACsec configuration operations, to a per-operation function that is provided by the underlying hardware drivers. - Those functions now contain a verb to describe the configuration action they're offloading. - Improved the error handling in the MACsec genl helpers to revert the configuration to its previous state when the offloading call failed. - Reworked the file inclusions. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds support for initializing the MACsec engine found within some Microsemi PHYs. The engine is initialized in a passthrough mode and does not modify any incoming or outgoing packet. But thanks to this it now can be configured to perform MACsec transformations on packets, which will be supported by a future patch. The MACsec read and write functions are wrapped into two versions: one called during the init phase, and the other one later on. This is because the init functions in the Microsemi PHY driver are called while the MDIO bus lock is taken. Signed-off-by: Antoine Tenart <antoine.tenart@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch introduces the MACsec hardware offloading infrastructure. The main idea here is to re-use the logic and data structures of the software MACsec implementation. This allows not to duplicate definitions and structure storing the same kind of information. It also allows to use a unified genlink interface for both MACsec implementations (so that the same userspace tool, `ip macsec`, is used with the same arguments). The MACsec offloading support cannot be disabled if an interface supports it at the moment. The MACsec configuration is passed to device drivers supporting it through macsec_ops which are called from the MACsec genl helpers. Those functions call the macsec ops of PHY and Ethernet drivers in two steps: a preparation one, and a commit one. The first step is allowed to fail and should be used to check if a provided configuration is compatible with the features provided by a MACsec engine, while the second step is not allowed to fail and should only be used to enable a given MACsec configuration. Two extra calls are made: when a virtual MACsec interface is created and when it is deleted, so that the hardware driver can stay in sync. The Rx and TX handlers are modified to take in account the special case were the MACsec transformation happens in the hardware, whether in a PHY or in a MAC, as the packets seen by the networking stack on both the physical and MACsec virtual interface are exactly the same. This leads to some limitations: the hardware and software implementations can't be used on the same physical interface, as the policies would be impossible to fulfill (such as strict validation of the frames). Also only a single virtual MACsec interface can be offloaded to a physical port supporting hardware offloading as it would be impossible to guess onto which interface a given packet should go (for ingress traffic). Another limitation as of now is that the counters and statistics are not reported back from the hardware to the software MACsec implementation. This isn't an issue when using offloaded MACsec transformations, but it should be added in the future so that the MACsec state can be reported to the user (which would also improve the debug).
