Geert Uytterhoeven <geert+renesas@glider.be> says: This patch series adds support for the CAN-FD interface on the Renesas R-Car V4H (R8A779G0) SoC and support for CAN transceivers described as PHYs to the R-Car CAN-FD driver. It includes several fixes for issues (some minor) detected while adding the support and during testing. More details can be found in the individual patches. This has been tested on the Renesas White-Hawk development board using cansend, candump, and canfdtest: - Channel 0 uses an NXP TJR1443AT CAN transceiver, and works fine, - Channels 1-7 use Microchip MCP2558FD-H/SN CAN transceivers (not mounted for channels 4-7), which do not need explicit description. While channel 1 works fine, channels 2-3 do not seem to work. Hence despite the new fixes, the test results are similar to what Ulrich Hecht reported for R-Car V3U on the Falcon development board before, i.e. only channels 0 and 1 work (FTR, [2] does not help). Whether this is a CAN-FD driver issue, a pin control issue, an IP core issue, or an SoC integration issue is still to be seen...

Each Global Acceptance Filter List Configuration Register (GAFLCFG) contains two fields, and stores the number of channel rules for one channel pair. As R-Car V3U and later can have more than 2 channels, the field selection should be based on the LSB (even or odd) of the channel number, instead of on the full channel number.

When set to zero, the neighbor sysctl proxy_delay value does not cause an immediate reply for ARP/ND requests as expected, it instead causes a random delay between [0, U32_MAX). Looking at this comment from __get_random_u32_below() explains the reason: /* * This function is technically undefined for ceil == 0, and in fact * for the non-underscored constant version in the header, we build bug * on that. But for the non-constant case, it's convenient to have that * evaluate to being a straight call to get_random_u32(), so that * get_random_u32_inclusive() can work over its whole range without * undefined behavior. */ Added helper function that does not call get_random_u32_below() if proxy_delay is zero and just uses the current value of jiffies instead, causing pneigh_enqueue() to respond immediately. Also added definition of proxy_delay to ip-sysctl.txt since it was missing.

Xin Long says: ==================== net: support ipv4 big tcp This is similar to the BIG TCP patchset added by Eric for IPv6: https://lwn.net/Articles/895398/ Different from IPv6, IPv4 tot_len is 16-bit long only, and IPv4 header doesn't have exthdrs(options) for the BIG TCP packets' length. To make it simple, as David and Paolo suggested, we set IPv4 tot_len to 0 to indicate this might be a BIG TCP packet and use skb->len as the real IPv4 total length. This will work safely, as all BIG TCP packets are GSO/GRO packets and processed on the same host as they were created; There is no padding in GSO/GRO packets, and skb->len - network_offset is exactly the IPv4 packet total length; Also, before implementing the feature, all those places that may get iph tot_len from BIG TCP packets are taken care with some new APIs: Patch 1 adds some APIs for iph tot_len setting and getting, which are used in all these places where IPv4 BIG TCP packets may reach in Patch 2-7, Patch 8 adds a GSO_TCP tp_status for af_packet users, and Patch 9 add new netlink attributes to make IPv4 BIG TCP independent from IPv6 BIG TCP on configuration, and Patch 10 implements this feature. Note that the similar change as in Patch 2-6 are also needed for IPv6 BIG TCP packets, and will be addressed in another patchset. The similar performance test is done for IPv4 BIG TCP with 25Gbit NIC and 1.5K MTU: No BIG TCP: for i in {1..10}; do netperf -t TCP_RR -H 192.168.100.1 -- -r80000,80000 -O MIN_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,THROUGHPUT|tail -1; done 168 322 337 3776.49 143 236 277 4654.67 128 258 288 4772.83 171 229 278 4645.77 175 228 243 4678.93 149 239 279 4599.86 164 234 268 4606.94 155 276 289 4235.82 180 255 268 4418.95 168 241 249 4417.82 Enable BIG TCP: ip link set dev ens1f0np0 gro_ipv4_max_size 128000 gso_ipv4_max_size 128000 for i in {1..10}; do netperf -t TCP_RR -H 192.168.100.1 -- -r80000,80000 -O MIN_LATENCY,P90_LATENCY,P99_LATENCY,THROUGHPUT|tail -1; done 161 241 252 4821.73 174 205 217 5098.28 167 208 220 5001.43 164 228 249 4883.98 150 233 249 4914.90 180 233 244 4819.66 154 208 219 5004.92 157 209 247 4999.78 160 218 246 4842.31 174 206 217 5080.99 Thanks for the feedback from Eric and David Ahern. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1674921359.git.lucien.xin@gmail.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

Similar to Eric's IPv6 BIG TCP, this patch is to enable IPv4 BIG TCP. Firstly, allow sk->sk_gso_max_size to be set to a value greater than GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE by not trimming gso_max_size in sk_trim_gso_size() for IPv4 TCP sockets. Then on TX path, set IP header tot_len to 0 when skb->len > IP_MAX_MTU in __ip_local_out() to allow to send BIG TCP packets, and this implies that skb->len is the length of a IPv4 packet; On RX path, use skb->len as the length of the IPv4 packet when the IP header tot_len is 0 and skb->len > IP_MAX_MTU in ip_rcv_core(). As the API iph_set_totlen() and skb_ip_totlen() are used in __ip_local_out() and ip_rcv_core(), we only need to update these APIs. Also in GRO receive, add the check for ETH_P_IP/IPPROTO_TCP, and allows the merged packet size >= GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE in skb_gro_receive(). In GRO complete, set IP header tot_len to 0 when the merged packet size greater than IP_MAX_MTU in iph_set_totlen() so that it can be processed on RX path. Note that by checking skb_is_gso_tcp() in API iph_totlen(), it makes this implementation safe to use iph->len == 0 indicates IPv4 BIG TCP packets.

This patch introduces gso_ipv4_max_size and gro_ipv4_max_size per device and adds netlink attributes for them, so that IPV4 BIG TCP can be guarded by a separate tunable in the next patch. To not break the old application using "gso/gro_max_size" for IPv4 GSO packets, this patch updates "gso/gro_ipv4_max_size" in netif_set_gso/gro_max_size() if the new size isn't greater than GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE, so that nothing will change even if userspace doesn't realize the new netlink attributes.

It may process IPv4 TCP GSO packets in cipso_v4_skbuff_setattr(), so the iph->tot_len update should use iph_set_totlen(). Note that for these non GSO packets, the new iph tot_len with extra iph option len added may become greater than 65535, the old process will cast it and set iph->tot_len to it, which is a bug. In theory, iph options shouldn't be added for these big packets in here, a fix may be needed here in the future. For now this patch is only to set iph->tot_len to 0 when it happens.

Laurent Vivier says: ==================== virtio_net: vdpa: update MAC address when it is generated by virtio-net When the MAC address is not provided by the vdpa device virtio_net driver assigns a random one without notifying the device. The consequence, in the case of mlx5_vdpa, is the internal routing tables of the device are not updated and this can block the communication between two namespaces. To fix this problem, use virtnet_send_command(VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MAC) to set the address from virtnet_probe() when the MAC address is not provided by the device. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230127204500.51930-1-lvivier@redhat.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

In virtnet_probe(), if the device doesn't provide a MAC address the driver assigns a random one. As we modify the MAC address we need to notify the device to allow it to update all the related information. The problem can be seen with vDPA and mlx5_vdpa driver as it doesn't assign a MAC address by default. The virtio_net device uses a random MAC address (we can see it with "ip link"), but we can't ping a net namespace from another one using the virtio-vdpa device because the new MAC address has not been provided to the hardware: RX packets are dropped since they don't go through the receive filters, TX packets go through unaffected.

failover relies on the MAC address to pair the primary and the standby devices: "[...] the hypervisor needs to enable VIRTIO_NET_F_STANDBY feature on the virtio-net interface and assign the same MAC address to both virtio-net and VF interfaces." Documentation/networking/net_failover.rst This patch disables the STANDBY feature if the MAC address is not provided by the hypervisor.
