Arun Parameswaran says: ==================== Add support for Broadcom's iProc MDIO and Cygnus Ethernet PHY This patchset adds support for the iProc MDIO interface and the Broadcom Cygnus SoC's internal Ethernet PHY. The internal Ethernet PHY(s) in the Cygnus SoC's are accessed via the MDIO interface found in most of the iProc based chips. The patch also consolidates the common API's used by the Broadcom phys to a common library. Existing Broadcom phy drivers have been modified to use the common library API's. This patch series is based on Linux v4.3-rc1 and is avaliable in: https://github.com/Broadcom/cygnus-linux/tree/cygnus-net-phy-mdio-v3 The Ethernet driver for the iProc family will be submitted soon, as will the device tree configurations for the different iProc family SoCs. Changes from v2: - Modified drivers/net/phy/Kconfig to modify the BCM_CYGNUS_PHY driver to 'depends on MDIO_BCM_IPROC' instead of 'select'. - Added github branch to the cover letter Changes from v1: - Updated device tree documentation for the iProc MDIO driver based on Florian's feedback. - Moved the core register defines from the Cygnus PHY driver to 'include/linux/brcmphy.h' based on Florian's feedback. - Created a new patch/commit to modify the bcm7xxx phy driver to use the new core register defines. - Modified the Kconfig entry for the Broadcom PHY library to 'tristate' instead of 'bool' ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Add support for the Broadcom Cygnus SoCs internal PHY's. The PHYs are 1000M/100M/10M capable with support for 'EEE' and 'APD' (Auto Power Down). This driver supports the following Broadcom Cygnus SoCs: - BCM583XX (BCM58300, BCM58302, BCM58303, BCM58305) - BCM113XX (BCM11300, BCM11320, BCM11350, BCM11360) The PHY's on these SoC's require some workarounds for stable operation, both during configuration time and during suspend/resume. This driver handles the application of the workarounds. Signed-off-by: Arun Parameswaran <arunp@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Santosh Shilimkar says: ==================== RDS: connection scalability and performance improvements [v4] Re-sending the same patches from v3 again since my repost of patch 05/14 from v3 was whitespace damaged. [v3] Updated patch "[PATCH v2 05/14] RDS: defer the over_batch work to send worker" as per David Miller's comment [4] to avoid the magic value usage. Patch now makes use of already available but unused send_batch_count module parameter. Rest of the patches are same as earlier version v2 [3] [v2]: Dropped "[PATCH 05/15] RDS: increase size of hash-table to 8K" from earlier version [1]. I plan to address the hash table scalability using re-sizable hash tables as suggested by David Laight and David Miller [2] This series addresses RDS connection bottlenecks on massive workloads and improve the RDMA performance almost by 3X. RDS TCP also gets a small gain of about 12%. RDS is being used in massive systems with high scalability where several hundred thousand end points and tens of thousands of local processes are operating in tens of thousand sockets. Being RC(reliable connection), socket bind and release happens very often and any inefficiencies in bind hash look ups hurts the overall system performance. RDS bin hash-table uses global spin-lock which is the biggest bottleneck. To make matter worst, it uses rcu inside global lock for hash buckets. This is being addressed by simply using per bucket rw lock which makes the locking simple and very efficient. The hash table size is still an issue and I plan to address it by using re-sizable hash tables as suggested on the list. For RDS RDMA improvement, the completion handling is revamped so that we can do batch completions. Both send and receive completion handlers are split logically to achieve the same. RDS 8K messages being one of the key usecase, mr pool is adapted to have the 8K mrs along with default 1M mrs. And while doing this, few fixes and couple of bottlenecks seen with rds_sendmsg() are addressed. Series applies against 4.3-rc1 as well net-next. Its tested on Oracle hardware with IB fabric for both bcopy as well as RDMA mode. RDS TCP is tested with iXGB NIC. Like last time, iWARP transport is untested with these changes. The patchset is also available at below git repo: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ssantosh/linux.git net/rds/4.3-v3 As a side note, the IB HCA driver I used for testing misses at least 3 important patches in upstream to see the full blown IB performance and am hoping to get that in mainline with help of them. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric W. Biederman says: ==================== net: Pass net through the output path v2 This is the next installment of my work to pass struct net through the output path so the code does not need to guess how to figure out which network namespace it is in, and ultimately routes can have output devices in another network namespace. The first patch in this series is a fix for a bug that came in when sk was passed through the functions in the output path, and as such is probably a candidate for net. At the same time my later patches depend on it so sending the fix separately would be confusing. The second patch in this series is another fix that for an issue that came in when sk was passed through the output path. I don't think it needs a backport as I don't think anyone uses the path where the code was incorrect. The rest of the patchset focuses on the path from xxx_local_out to dst_output and in the end succeeds in passing sock_net(sk) from the socket a packet locally originates on to the dst->output function. Given the size reduction in the code I think this counts as a cleanup as much as feature work. There remain a number of helper functions (like ip option processing) to take care of before the network stack can support destination devices in other network namespaces but with this set of changes the backbone of the work is done. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

After a packet has been encapsulated by a tunnel we should use the tunnel sockets local multicast loopback flag to control if the encapsulated packet should be locally loopback back. Pass sk into ip_local_out_sk so that in the rare case we are dealing with a tunneled packet whose tunnel destination address is a multicast address the kernel properly decides to loopback this packet. In practice I don't think this matters as ip_queue_xmit is used by tcp, l2tp and sctp none of which I am aware of uses ip level multicasting as they are all point to point communications protocols. Let's fix this before someone uses ip_queue_xmit for a tunnel protocol that does use multicast. Fixes: aad88724 ("ipv4: add a sock pointer to dst->output() path.")

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-10-07 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Paul updates i40e to simply increase the amount of time we wait for a reset to complete since we have seen in some rare occasions the reset can take longer to complete. Shannon updates the driver to turn on Wake-on-LAN by default if it is enabled in the hardware config to begin with, rather than always disable it and wait for the user to expressly turn it on. Added new device id's and support for future devices. Fixed a possible type compare problem between a size and possible negative number. Also fixed a shift value that was wrong, which ended up with a bad bitmask. Did general house cleaning of the driver to cleanup several low lying fruit in the driver. Fixed an issue where new unicast address's would be added to the VSI list and then immediately removed and would never actually make it down to the hardware. Resolved the issue by removing the separation from unicast and multicast in the search for filters to be deleted. Mitch fixes an issue where the hardware would continue to access the memory formerly used by the rings for a VF which have been removed, causing memory corruption or DMAR errors. To relieve this condition, explicitly stop all rings associated with each VF before releasing its resources. Also fixed a panic if the driver is unable to enable MSI-X or its unable to acquire enough vectors, so propagate interrupt allocation failure information to the calling function. Cleaned up opcode that is not required. Carolyn extends the size of the test available for the interrupt names so that all the descriptive data available for the Flow Director interrupts is not truncated. Catherine fixes an issue where there was a possibility of speed getting set to 0 if advertised is set to 0 (which is the case when autoneg is disabled). Jesse fixes the checksum on big endian machines, so added code to swap it correctly. Also fixed a bug in the return from get_link_status() where only true or false was being returned, but false could mean multiple things. So allow the caller to get all the return values in the call chain bubbled back to the source so that the reason for the failure does not get lost. Anjali adds statistics to keep track of how many times we ask the stack to linearize the SKB because the hardware cannot handle SKBs with more than 8 frags per segment/single packet. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Merge tag 'regmap-offload-update-bits' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap regmap: Allow buses to provide a custom update_bits() operation Some buses provide a native _update_bits() operation which for uncached registers is faster than doing a read/modify/write cycle as it is a single bus transaction. Add support for implementing this to regmap.

Lower level functions are properly reporting errors, and higher-level functions are correctly responding to errors, but the errors aren't actually getting through.

When using something like "ip maddr add ..." to add another unicast mac address to the netdev, the mac address comes into the set_rx_mode handler in the multicast list whether it is a unicast or multicast address. This was confusing the code when it was trying to search for addresses that needed to be deleted from the VSI, because it was looking for the VSI unicast address in the netdev unicast list. The result was that a new unicast address would get added to the VSI list and then immediately removed, and would never actually make it down into the hardware. This patch removes the separation from unicast and multicast in the search for filters to be deleted. It also simplifies the logic a little with a jump to the bottom of the loop when an address is found. Now it doesn't matter which netdev list the address is hiding in, we'll check them all.

Previously, the driver could call this function and have only true/false returned, but false could mean multiple things like failure to read or link was down. This change allows the caller to get all return values in the call chain bubbled back to the source, which keeps information about failures from being lost. Also, in some unlikely scenarios, the firmware can become slow to respond to admin queue (AQ) queries for link state. Should the AQ time out, the driver can detect the state and avoid a link change when there may have been none.
