Currently the bridge emits atomic switchdev notifications for dynamically learnt FDB entries. Monitoring these notifications works wonders for switchdev drivers that want to keep their hardware FDB in sync with the bridge's FDB. For example station A wants to talk to station B in the diagram below, and we are concerned with the behavior of the bridge on the DUT device: DUT +-------------------------------------+ | br0 | | +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | swp0 | | swp1 | | swp2 | | eth0 | | +-------------------------------------+ | | | Station A | | | | +--+------+--+ +--+------+--+ | | | | | | | | | | swp0 | | | | swp0 | | Another | +------+ | | +------+ | Another switch | br0 | | br0 | switch | +------+ | | +------+ | | | | | | | | | | | swp1 | | | | swp1 | | +--+------+--+ +--+------+--+ | Station B Interfaces swp0, swp1, swp2 are handled by a switchdev driver that has the following property: frames injected from its control interface bypass the internal address analyzer logic, and therefore, this hardware does not learn from the source address of packets transmitted by the network stack through it. So, since bridging between eth0 (where Station B is attached) and swp0 (where Station A is attached) is done in software, the switchdev hardware will never learn the source address of Station B. So the traffic towards that destination will be treated as unknown, i.e. flooded. This is where the bridge notifications come in handy. When br0 on the DUT sees frames with Station B's MAC address on eth0, the switchdev driver gets these notifications and can install a rule to send frames towards Station B's address that are incoming from swp0, swp1, swp2, only towards the control interface. This is all switchdev driver private business, which the notification makes possible. All is fine until someone unplugs Station B's cable and moves it to the other switch: DUT +-------------------------------------+ | br0 | | +------+ +------+ +------+ +------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | swp0 | | swp1 | | swp2 | | eth0 | | +-------------------------------------+ | | | Station A | | | | +--+------+--+ +--+------+--+ | | | | | | | | | | swp0 | | | | swp0 | | Another | +------+ | | +------+ | Another switch | br0 | | br0 | switch | +------+ | | +------+ | | | | | | | | | | | swp1 | | | | swp1 | | +--+------+--+ +--+------+--+ | Station B Luckily for the use cases we care about, Station B is noisy enough that the DUT hears it (on swp1 this time). swp1 receives the frames and delivers them to the bridge, who enters the unlikely path in br_fdb_update of updating an existing entry. It moves the entry in the software bridge to swp1 and emits an addition notification towards that. As far as the switchdev driver is concerned, all that it needs to ensure is that traffic between Station A and Station B is not forever broken. If it does nothing, then the stale rule to send frames for Station B towards the control interface remains in place. But Station B is no longer reachable via the control interface, but via a port that can offload the bridge port learning attribute. It's just that the port is prevented from learning this address, since the rule overrides FDB updates. So the rule needs to go. The question is via what mechanism. It sure would be possible for this switchdev driver to keep track of all addresses which are sent to the control interface, and then also listen for bridge notifier events on its own ports, searching for the ones that have a MAC address which was previously sent to the control interface. But this is cumbersome and inefficient. Instead, with one small change, the bridge could notify of the address deletion from the old port, in a symmetrical manner with how it did for the insertion. Then the switchdev driver would not be required to monitor learn/forget events for its own ports. It could just delete the rule towards the control interface upon bridge entry migration. This would make hardware address learning be possible again. Then it would take a few more packets until the hardware and software FDB would be in sync again.

Heiner Kallweit says: ==================== r8169: improve RTL8168g PHY suspend quirk According to Realtek the ERI register 0x1a8 quirk is needed to work around a hw issue with the PHY on RTL8168g. The register needs to be changed before powering down the PHY. Currently we don't meet this requirement, however I'm not aware of any problems caused by this. Therefore I see the change as an improvement. The PHY driver has no means to access the chip ERI registers, therefore we have to intercept MDIO writes to the BMCR register. If the BMCR_PDOWN bit is going to be set, then let's apply the quirk before actually powering down the PHY. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/9303c2cf-c521-beea-c09f-63b5dfa91b9c@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

Sieng Piaw Liew says: ==================== bcm63xx_enet: major makeover of driver This patch series aim to improve the bcm63xx_enet driver by integrating the latest networking features, i.e. batched rx processing, BQL, build_skb, etc. The newer enetsw SoCs are found to be able to do unaligned rx DMA by adding NET_IP_ALIGN padding which, combined with these patches, improved packet processing performance by ~50% on BCM6328. Older non-enetsw SoCs still benefit mainly from rx batching. Performance improvement of ~30% is observed on BCM6333. The BCM63xx SoCs are designed for routers. As such, having BQL is beneficial as well as trivial to add. v3: * Simplify xmit_more patch by not moving around the code needlessly. * Fix indentation in xmit_more patch. * Fix indentation in build_skb patch. * Split rx ring cleanup patch from build_skb patch and precede build_skb patch for better understanding, as suggested by Florian Fainelli. v2: * Add xmit_more support and rx loop improvisation patches. * Moved BQL netdev_reset_queue() to bcm_enet_stop()/bcm_enetsw_stop() functions as suggested by Florian Fainelli. * Improved commit messages. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210106144208.1935-1-liew.s.piaw@gmail.comSigned-off-by:

We can increase the efficiency of rx path by using buffers to receive packets then build SKBs around them just before passing into the network stack. In contrast, preallocating SKBs too early reduces CPU cache efficiency. Check if we're in NAPI context when refilling RX. Normally we're almost always running in NAPI context. Dispatch to napi_alloc_frag directly instead of relying on netdev_alloc_frag which does the same but with the overhead of local_bh_disable/enable. Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz and iperf3 -M 512 to measure packet/sec performance. Included netif_receive_skb_list and NET_IP_ALIGN optimizations.

When measuring the throughput (iperf3 + TCP) while routing on a not-so-powerful device (Mediatek MT7621, 880MHz CPU), I noticed that I achieved significantly lower speeds with QMI-based modems than for example a USB LAN dongle. The CPU was saturated in all of my tests. With the dongle I got ~300 Mbit/s, while I only measured ~200 Mbit/s with the modems. All offloads, etc. were switched off for the dongle, and I configured the modems to use QMAP (16k aggregation). The tests with the dongle were performed in my local (gigabit) network, while the LTE network the modems were connected to delivers 700-800 Mbit/s. Profiling the kernel revealed the cause of the performance difference. In qmimux_rx_fixup(), an SKB is allocated for each packet contained in the URB. This SKB has too little headroom, causing the check in skb_cow() (called from ip_forward()) to fail. pskb_expand_head() is then called and the SKB is reallocated. In the output from perf, I see that a significant amount of time is spent in pskb_expand_head() + support functions. In order to ensure that the SKB has enough headroom, this commit increases the amount of memory allocated in qmimux_rx_fixup() by LL_MAX_HEADER. The reason for using LL_MAX_HEADER and not a more accurate value, is that we do not know the type of the outgoing network interface. After making this change, I achieve the same throughput with the modems as with the dongle. Signed-off-by:

The System Controller Firmware (SCFW) is a low-level system function which runs on a dedicated Cortex-M core to provide power, clock, and resource management. It exists on some i.MX8 processors. e.g. i.MX8QM (QM, QP), and i.MX8QX (QXP, DX). SCU driver manages the IPC interface between host CPU and the SCU firmware running on M4. For i.MX8QM, stop mode request is controlled by System Controller Unit(SCU) firmware, this patch introduces FLEXCAN_QUIRK_SETUP_STOP_MODE_SCFW quirk for this function. Signed-off-by:

Multiple filters (struct can_filter) can be set with the setsockopt() function, which was originally intended as a write-only operation. As getsockopt() also provides a CAN_RAW_FILTER option to read back the given filters, the caller has to provide an appropriate user space buffer. In the case this buffer is too small the getsockopt() silently truncates the filter information and gives no information about the needed space. This is safe but not convenient for the programmer. In net/core/sock.c the SO_PEERGROUPS sockopt had a similar requirement and solved it by returning -ERANGE in the case that the provided data does not fit into the given user space buffer and fills the required size into optlen, so that the caller can retry with a matching buffer length. This patch adopts this approach for CAN_RAW_FILTER getsockopt(). Reported-by:

This patch reworks the SPI access and fixes several probems: - tcan4x5x_regmap_gather_write(), tcan4x5x_regmap_read(): Do not place variable "addr" on stack and use it as buffer for SPI transfer. Buffers for SPI transfers must be allocated from DMA save memory. - tcan4x5x_regmap_gather_write(), tcan4x5x_regmap_read(): Halfe number of SPI transfers by using a single buffer + memcpy(). This improves the performance, especially on SPI controllers, which use interrupt based transfers. - Use "8" bits per word, not "32". This makes it possible to use this driver on SoCs like the Raspberry Pi, which SPI host controller drivers only support 8 bits per word. Note: this breaks half duplex only controllers. Support for them will be re-added in the next patch. Reviewed-by:
