      net: hns3: support skb's frag page recycling based on page pool · 93188e96
      Yunsheng Lin authored
      This patch adds skb's frag page recycling support based on
      the frag page support in page pool.
      
      The performance improves above 10~20% for single thread iperf
      TCP flow with IOMMU disabled when iperf server and irq/NAPI
      have a different CPU.
      
      The performance improves about 135%(14Gbit to 33Gbit) for single
      thread iperf TCP flow when IOMMU is in strict mode and iperf
      server shares the same cpu with irq/NAPI.

      page_pool: add frag page recycling support in page pool · 53e0961d
      Yunsheng Lin authored
      Currently page pool only support page recycling when there
      is only one user of the page, and the split page reusing
      implemented in the most driver can not use the page pool as
      bing-pong way of reusing requires the multi user support in
      page pool.
      
      Those reusing or recycling has below limitations:
      1. page from page pool can only be used be one user in order
         for the page recycling to happen.
      2. Bing-pong way of reusing in most driver does not support
         multi desc using different part of the same page in order
         to save memory.
      
      So add multi-users support and frag page recycling in page
      pool to overcome the above limitation.

      page_pool: add interface to manipulate frag count in page pool · 0e9d2a0a
      Yunsheng Lin authored
      For 32 bit systems with 64 bit dma, dma_addr[1] is used to
      store the upper 32 bit dma addr, those system should be rare
      those days.
      
      For normal system, the dma_addr[1] in 'struct page' is not
      used, so we can reuse dma_addr[1] for storing frag count,
      which means how many frags this page might be splited to.
      
      In order to simplify the page frag support in the page pool,
      the PAGE_POOL_DMA_USE_PP_FRAG_COUNT macro is added to indicate
      the 32 bit systems with 64 bit dma, and the page frag support
      in page pool is disabled for such system.
      
      The newly added page_pool_set_frag_count() is called to reserve
      the maximum frag count before any page frag is passed to the
      user. The page_pool_atomic_sub_frag_count_return() is called
      when user is done with the page frag.

      page_pool: keep pp info as long as page pool owns the page · 57f05bc2
      Yunsheng Lin authored
      Currently, page->pp is cleared and set everytime the page
      is recycled, which is unnecessary.
      
      So only set the page->pp when the page is added to the page
      pool and only clear it when the page is released from the
      page pool.
      
      This is also a preparation to support allocating frag page
      in page pool.

      Commit a3fe3d01 ("net/smc: introduce sg-logic for RMBs") introduced
      a restriction for RMB allocations as used by SMC-R. However, SMC-D does
      not use scatter-gather lists to back its DMBs, yet it was limited by
      this restriction, still.
      This patch exempts SMC, but limits allocations to the maximum RMB/DMB
      size respectively.

      devlink: Set device as early as possible · 919d13a7
      Leon Romanovsky authored
      All kernel devlink implementations call to devlink_alloc() during
      initialization routine for specific device which is used later as
      a parent device for devlink_register().
      
      Such late device assignment causes to the situation which requires us to
      call to device_register() before setting other parameters, but that call
      opens devlink to the world and makes accessible for the netlink users.
      
      Any attempt to move devlink_register() to be the last call generates the
      following error due to access to the devlink->dev pointer.
      
      [    8.758862]  devlink_nl_param_fill+0x2e8/0xe50
      [    8.760305]  devlink_param_notify+0x6d/0x180
      [    8.760435]  __devlink_params_register+0x2f1/0x670
      [    8.760558]  devlink_params_register+0x1e/0x20
      
      The simple change of API to set devlink device in the devlink_alloc()
      instead of devlink_register() fixes all this above and ensures that
      prior to call to devlink_register() everything already set.

      Using register asm statements has been proven to be very error prone,
      especially when using code instrumentation where gcc may add function
      calls, which clobbers register contents in an unexpected way.
      
      Therefore get rid of register asm statements in iucv code, even though
      there is currently nothing wrong with it. This way we know for sure
      that the above mentioned bug class won't be introduced here.

      net: dsa: avoid fast ageing twice when port leaves a bridge · bee7c577
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      Drivers that support both the toggling of address learning and dynamic
      FDB flushing (mv88e6xxx, b53, sja1105) currently need to fast-age a port
      twice when it leaves a bridge:
      
      - once, when del_nbp() calls br_stp_disable_port() which puts the port
        in the BLOCKING state
      - twice, when dsa_port_switchdev_unsync_attrs() calls
        dsa_port_clear_brport_flags() which disables address learning
      
      The knee-jerk reaction might be to say "dsa_port_clear_brport_flags does
      not need to fast-age the port at all", but the thing is, we still need
      both code paths to flush the dynamic FDB entries in different situations.
      When a DSA switch port leaves a bonding/team interface that is (still) a
      bridge port, no del_nbp() will be called, so we rely on
      dsa_port_clear_brport_flags() function to restore proper standalone port
      functionality with address learning disabled.
      
      So the solution is just to avoid double the work when both code paths
      are called in series. Luckily, DSA already caches the STP port state, so
      we can skip flushing the dynamic FDB when we disable address learning
      and the STP state is one where no address learning takes place at all.
      Under that condition, not flushing the FDB is safe because there is
      supposed to not be any dynamic FDB entry at all (they were flushed
      during the transition towards that state, and none were learned in the
      meanwhile).

      net: dsa: still fast-age ports joining a bridge if they can't configure learning · a4ffe09f
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      Commit 39f32101 ("net: dsa: don't fast age standalone ports")
      assumed that all standalone ports disable address learning, but if the
      switch driver implements .port_fast_age but not .port_bridge_flags (like
      ksz9477, ksz8795, lantiq_gswip, lan9303), then that might not actually
      be true.
      
      So whereas before, the bridge temporarily walking us through the
      BLOCKING STP state meant that the standalone ports had a checkpoint to
      flush their baggage and start fresh when they join a bridge, after that
      commit they no longer do.
      
      Restore the old behavior for these drivers by checking if the switch can
      toggle address learning. If it can't, disregard the "do_fast_age"
      argument and unconditionally perform fast ageing on STP state changes.

      Fast ageing support for SJA1105 DSA driver
      
      While adding support for flushing dynamically learned FDB entries in the
      sja1105 driver, I noticed a few things that could be improved in DSA.
      Most notably, drivers could omit a fast age when address learning is
      turned off, which might mean that ports leaving a bridge and becoming
      standalone could still have FDB entries pointing towards them. Secondly,
      when DSA fast ages a port after the 'learning' flag has been turned off,
      the software bridge still has the dynamically learned 'master' FDB
      entries installed, and those should be deleted too.

      net: dsa: sja1105: rely on DSA core tracking of port learning state · 5313a37b
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      Now that DSA keeps track of the port learning state, it becomes
      superfluous to keep an additional variable with this information in the
      sja1105 driver. Remove it.
      
      The DSA core's learning state is present in struct dsa_port *dp.
      To avoid the antipattern where we iterate through a DSA switch's
      ports and then call dsa_to_port to obtain the "dp" reference (which is
      bad because dsa_to_port iterates through the DSA switch tree once
      again), just iterate through the dst->ports and operate on those
      directly.
      
      The sja1105 had an extra use of priv->learn_ena on non-user ports. DSA
      does not touch the learning state of those ports - drivers are free to
      do what they wish on them. Mark that information with a comment in
      struct dsa_port and let sja1105 set dp->learning for cascade ports.

      net: dsa: flush the dynamic FDB of the software bridge when fast ageing a port · 9264e4ad
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      Currently, when DSA performs fast ageing on a port, 'bridge fdb' shows
      us that the 'self' entries (corresponding to the hardware bridge, as
      printed by dsa_slave_fdb_dump) are deleted, but the 'master' entries
      (corresponding to the software bridge) aren't.
      
      Indeed, searching through the bridge driver, neither the
      brport_attr_learning handler nor the IFLA_BRPORT_LEARNING handler call
      br_fdb_delete_by_port. However, br_stp_disable_port does, which is one
      of the paths which DSA uses to trigger a fast ageing process anyway.
      
      There is, however, one other very promising caller of
      br_fdb_delete_by_port, and that is the bridge driver's handler of the
      SWITCHDEV_FDB_FLUSH_TO_BRIDGE atomic notifier. Currently the s390/qeth
      HiperSockets card driver is the only user of this.
      
      I can't say I understand that driver's architecture or interaction with
      the bridge, but it appears to not be a switchdev driver in the traditional
      sense of the word. Nonetheless, the mechanism it provides is a useful
      way for DSA to express the fact that it performs fast ageing too, in a
      way that does not change the existing behavior for other drivers.

      net: dsa: don't fast age bridge ports with learning turned off · 4eab90d9
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      On topology changes, stations that were dynamically learned on ports
      that are no longer part of the active topology must be flushed - this is
      described by clause "17.11 Updating learned station location information"
      of IEEE 802.1D-2004.
      
      However, when address learning on the bridge port is turned off in the
      first place, there is nothing to flush, so skip a potentially expensive
      operation.
      
      We can finally do this now since DSA is aware of the learning state of
      its bridged ports.

      net: dsa: centralize fast ageing when address learning is turned off · 045c45d1
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      Currently DSA leaves it down to device drivers to fast age the FDB on a
      port when address learning is disabled on it. There are 2 reasons for
      doing that in the first place:
      
      - when address learning is disabled by user space, through
        IFLA_BRPORT_LEARNING or the brport_attr_learning sysfs, what user
        space typically wants to achieve is to operate in a mode with no
        dynamic FDB entry on that port. But if the port is already up, some
        addresses might have been already learned on it, and it seems silly to
        wait for 5 minutes for them to expire until something useful can be
        done.
      
      - when a port leaves a bridge and becomes standalone, DSA turns off
        address learning on it. This also has the nice side effect of flushing
        the dynamically learned bridge FDB entries on it, which is a good idea
        because standalone ports should not have bridge FDB entries on them.
      
      We let drivers manage fast ageing under this condition because if DSA
      were to do it, it would need to track each port's learning state, and
      act upon the transition, which it currently doesn't.
      
      But there are 2 reasons why doing it is better after all:
      
      - drivers might get it wrong and not do it (see b53_port_set_learning)
      
      - we would like to flush the dynamic entries from the software bridge
        too, and letting drivers do that would be another pain point
      
      So track the port learning state and trigger a fast age process
      automatically within DSA.

      devlink: Simplify devlink port API calls · 82564f6c
      Leon Romanovsky authored
      Devlink port already has pointer to the devlink instance and all API
      calls that forward these devlink ports to the drivers perform same
      "devlink_port->devlink" assignment before actual call.
      
      This patch removes useless parameter and allows us in the future
      to create specific devlink_port_ops to manage user space access with
      reliable ops assignment.

      net: dsa: don't fast age standalone ports · 39f32101
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      DSA drives the procedure to flush dynamic FDB entries from a port based
      on the change of STP state: whenever we go from a state where address
      learning is enabled (LEARNING, FORWARDING) to a state where it isn't
      (LISTENING, BLOCKING, DISABLED), we need to flush the existing dynamic
      entries.
      
      However, there are cases when this is not needed. Internally, when a
      DSA switch interface is not under a bridge, DSA still keeps it in the
      "FORWARDING" STP state. And when that interface joins a bridge, the
      bridge will meticulously iterate that port through all STP states,
      starting with BLOCKING and ending with FORWARDING. Because there is a
      state transition from the standalone version of FORWARDING into the
      temporary BLOCKING bridge port state, DSA calls the fast age procedure.
      
      Since commit 5e38c158 ("net: dsa: configure better brport flags when
      ports leave the bridge"), DSA asks standalone ports to disable address
      learning. Therefore, there can be no dynamic FDB entries on a standalone
      port. Therefore, it does not make sense to flush dynamic FDB entries on
      one.
