Currently sctp_sendmsg() triggers some calls that will allocate memory with GFP_ATOMIC even when not necessary. In the case of sctp_packet_transmit it will allocate a linear skb that will be used to construct the packet and this may cause sends to fail due to ENOMEM more often than anticipated specially with big MTUs. This patch thus allows it to inherit gfp flags from upper calls so that it can use GFP_KERNEL if it was triggered by a sctp_sendmsg call or similar. All others, like retransmits or flushes started from BH, are still allocated using GFP_ATOMIC. In netperf tests this didn't result in any performance drawbacks when memory is not too fragmented and made it trigger ENOMEM way less often. Signed-off-by:

When we want to change a flow using netlink, we have to identify it to be able to perform a lookup. Both the flow key and unique flow ID (ufid) are valid identifiers, but we always have to specify the flow key in the netlink message. When both attributes are there, the ufid is used. The flow key is used to validate the actions provided by the userland. This commit allows to use the ufid without having to provide the flow key, as it is already done in the netlink 'flow get' and 'flow del' path. The flow key remains mandatory when an action is provided. Signed-off-by:

On AT91 SoCs, the User Register (USRIO) exposes a switch to configure the "Reduced" or "Traditional" version of the Media Independent Interface (RMII vs. MII or RGMII vs. GMII). As on the older EMAC version, on GMAC, this switch is set by default to the non-reduced type of interface, so use the existing capability and extend it to GMII as well. We then keep the current logic in the macb_init() function. The capabilities of sama5d2, sama5d4 and sama5d3 GEM interface are updated in the macb_config structure to be able to properly enable them with a traditional interface (GMII or MII). Reported-by:

Paul Durrant says: ==================== xen-netback: fix multiple extra info handling If a frontend passes multiple extra info fragments to netback on the guest transmit side, because xen-netback does not account for this properly, only a single ack response will be sent. This will eventually cause processing of the shared ring to wedge. This series re-imports the canonical netif.h from Xen, where the ring protocol documentation has been updated, fixes this issue in xen-netback and also adds a patch to reduce log spam. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

The code does not currently support a frontend passing multiple extra info fragments to the backend in a tx request. The xenvif_get_extras() function handles multiple extra_info fragments but make_tx_response() assumes there is only ever a single extra info fragment. This patch modifies xenvif_get_extras() to pass back a count of extra info fragments, which is then passed to make_tx_response() (after possibly being stashed in pending_tx_info for deferred responses).

The canonical netif header (in the Xen source repo) and the Linux variant have diverged significantly. Recently much documentation has been added to the canonical header which is highly useful for developers making modifications to either xen-netfront or xen-netback. This patch therefore re-imports the canonical header in its entirity. To maintain compatibility and some style consistency with the old Linux variant, the header was stripped of its emacs boilerplate, and post-processed and copied into place with the following commands: ed -s netif.h << EOF H ,s/NETTXF_/XEN_NETTXF_/g ,s/NETRXF_/XEN_NETRXF_/g ,s/NETIF_/XEN_NETIF_/g ,s/XEN_XEN_/XEN_/g ,s/netif/xen_netif/g ,s/xen_xen_/xen_/g ,s/^typedef.*$//g ,s/^ /${TAB}/g w $ w EOF indent --line-length 80 --linux-style netif.h \ -o include/xen/interface/io/netif.h Signed-off-by: -

prior to this patch, at the beginning if we have two paths in one assoc, they may have the same params other than the last_time_heard, it will try the paths like this: 1st cycle try trans1 fail. then trans2 is selected.(cause it's last_time_heard is after trans1). 2nd cycle: try trans2 fail then trans2 is selected.(cause it's last_time_heard is after trans1). 3rd cycle: try trans2 fail then trans2 is selected.(cause it's last_time_heard is after trans1). .... trans1 will never have change to be selected, which is not what we expect. we should keeping round robin all the paths if they are just added at the beginning. So at first every tranport's last_time_heard should be initialized 0, so that we ensure they have the same value at the beginning, only by this, all the transports could get equal chance to be selected. Then for sctp_trans_elect_best, it should return the trans_next one when *trans == *trans_next, so that we can try next if it fails, but now it always return trans. so we can fix it by exchanging these two params when we calls sctp_trans_elect_tie().

The code for csum_block_add was doing a funky byteswap to swap the even and odd bytes of the checksum if the offset was odd. Instead of doing this we can save ourselves some trouble and just shift by 8 as this should have the same effect in terms of the final checksum value and only requires one instruction. In addition we can update csum_block_sub to just use csum_block_add with a inverse value for csum2. This way we follow the same code path as csum_block_add without having to duplicate it.

This patch updates the GRO handlers for GRE, VXLAN, GENEVE, and FOU so that we do not clear the flush bit until after we have called the next level GRO handler. Previously this was being cleared before parsing through the list of frames, however this resulted in several paths where either the bit needed to be reset but wasn't as in the case of FOU, or cases where it was being set as in GENEVE. By just deferring the clearing of the bit until after the next level protocol has been parsed we can avoid any unnecessary bit twiddling and avoid bugs. Signed-off-by:

Driver interaction with the managemnt firmware is done via mailbox commands which the management firmware periodically sample, as well as placing of additional data in set places in the shared memory. Each PF has a single designated mailbox address, and all flows that require messaging to the management should use it. This patch does 2 things: 1. It re-defines the critical section surrounding the mailbox sending - that section should include the setting of the shared memory as well as the sending of the command [otherwise a race might send a command with the data of a different command]. 2. It moves the locking scheme from using mutices into using spinlocks. This lays the groundwork for sending MFW commands from non-sleepable contexts. Signed-off-by:

When device is configured for Multi-function mode, some older management firmware might incorrectly notify interfaces of link changes while they haven't requested the physical link configuration to be set. This can create bizzare race conditions where unloading interfaces are getting notified that the link is up. Let the driver compensate - store the logical requested state of the link and don't propagate notifications after protocol driver explicitly requires the link to be unset. Signed-off-by:

Daniel Borkmann authored
This patch extends bpf_tunnel_key with a tunnel_label member, that maps to ip_tunnel_key's label so underlying backends like vxlan and geneve can propagate the label to udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb(), where it's being set in the IPv6 header. It allows for having 20 more bits to encode/decode flow related meta information programmatically. Tested with vxlan and geneve. Signed-off-by:

This patch extends udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() to pass in the IPv6 flow label from call sites. Currently, there's no such option and it's always set to zero when writing ip6_flow_hdr(). Add a label member to ip_tunnel_key, so that flow-based tunnels via collect metadata frontends can make use of it. vxlan and geneve will be converted to add flow label support separately.

Stephen Hemminger authored
This fixes a regression in the bridge ageing time caused by: commit c62987bb ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev") There are users of Linux bridge which use the feature that if ageing time is set to 0 it causes entries to never expire. See: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/bridge For a pure software bridge, it is unnecessary for the code to have arbitrary restrictions on what values are allowable.

In rocker, ageing time is a per-port attribute, so the next time the FDB cleanup timer fires should be set according to the lowest ageing time. This will later allow us to delete the BR_MIN_AGEING_TIME macro, which was added to guarantee minimum ageing time in the bridge layer, thereby breaking existing behavior. Signed-off-by:

Commit c62987bb ("bridge: push bridge setting ageing_time down to switchdev") added a check for minimum and maximum ageing time, but this breaks existing behaviour where one can set ageing time to 0 for a non-learning bridge. Push this check down to the driver and allow the check in the bridge layer to be removed. Currently ageing time 0 is refused by the driver, but we can later add support for this functionality.

The stack expects link layer headers in the skb linear section. Macvtap can create skbs with llheader in frags in edge cases: when (IFF_VNET_HDR is off or vnet_hdr.hdr_len < ETH_HLEN) and prepad + len > PAGE_SIZE and vnet_hdr.flags has no or bad csum. Add checks to ensure linear is always at least ETH_HLEN. At this point, len is already ensured to be >= ETH_HLEN. For backwards compatiblity, rounds up short vnet_hdr.hdr_len.

Amir Vadai says: ==================== cls_flower hardware offload support Please see changes from V2 at the bottom. This patchset introduces cls_flower hardware offload support over ConnectX-4 driver, more hardware vendors are welcome to use it too. This patchset is based on John's infrastructure for tc offloading [2] to add hardware offload support to the flower filter. It also extends the support to an additional tc action - skbedit mark operation. NIC driver that was used is ConnectX-4. Feature is off by default and could be turned on using ethtool. Some commands to use this code: export TC=../iproute2/tc/tc export ETH=ens9 ethtool -K ens9 hw-tc-offload on $TC qdisc add dev $ETH ingress $TC filter add dev $ETH protocol ip prio 20 parent ffff: \ flower ip_proto 1 \ dst_mac 7c:fe:90:69:81:62 \ src_mac 7c:fe:90:69:81:56 \ dst_ip 11.11.11.11 \ src_ip 11.11.11.12 \ indev $ETH \ action drop $TC filter add dev $ETH protocol ip prio 30 parent ffff: \ flower ip_proto 6 \ indev $ETH \ action skbedit mark 0x1234 $TC filter add dev $ETH protocol ip prio 10 parent ffff: \ handle 0x1234 fw action pass The code was tested and applied on top of commit 3ebeac1d ("Merge branch 'cxgb4-next'") Changes from V2: - patch 1/10 ("net/flower: Introduce hardware offload support") - Remove unused variable [Dave] - Don't fail command when HW can't offload filter [John] - patch 3/10 ("net/sched: Macro instead of CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT ifdef") - Mention in changelog that struct tc_action is now exposed out of the ifdef. - patch 4/10 ("net/act_skbedit: Utility functions for mark action") - Document clearly that is_tcf_skbedit_mark() is returning true if and only if the only action is mark [Dave] - patch 8/10 ("net/mlx5e: Introduce tc offload support") - make mlx5e_tc_add_flow() static Changes from V1: - patch 3/10 ("net/sched: Macro instead of CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT ifdef") - fixed return value of tc_no_actions Changes from V0: - Use tc_no_actions and tc_for_each_action instead of ifdef CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT - Replace ENOTSUPP (and some EINVAL) with EOPNOTSUPP - Name the flower command enum - fl_hw_destroy_filter() to return void - nobody uses the return value - mlx5e_tc_init() and mlx5e_tc_cleanup() to be called from the right places. - When adding HW rule fails - fail the command - Rules are added to be processed both by HW and SW unless SKIP_HW is given - Adding patch 6/10 ("net/mlx5e: Relax ndo_setup_tc handle restriction") Main changes from the RFC [1]: - API - Using ndo_setup_tc() instead of switchdev - act_skbedit, act_gact - Actions are not serialized to NIC driver, instead using access functions. - cls_flower - prevent double classification by software by not adding successfuly offloaded filters to the hashtable - Fixed some bugs in original RFC with rule delete - mlx5 - Adding flow table to kernel namespace instead of a new namespace - s/offload/tc/ in many places - no need for a special kconfig since switchdev is not used ==================== Signed-off-by:
