Currently, the driver calls memset() to set all relevant context memory used by the chip to the initial value. This can take many milliseconds with the potentially large number of context pages allocated for the chip. To make this faster, we only need to initialize the "context kind" field of each block of context memory. This patch sets up the infrastructure to do that with the bnxt_mem_init structure. In the next patch, we'll add the logic to obtain the offset of the "context kind" from the firmware. This patch is not changing the current behavior of calling memset() to initialize all relevant context memory.

During some fatal firmware error conditions, the PCI config space register 0x2e which normally contains the subsystem ID will become 0xffff. This register will revert back to the normal value after the chip has completed core reset. If we detect this condition, we can poll this config register immediately for the value to revert. Because we use config read cycles to poll this register, there is no possibility of Master Abort if we happen to read it during core reset. This speeds up recovery significantly as we don't have to wait for the conservative min_time before polling MMIO to see if the firmware has come out of reset. As soon as this register changes value we can proceed to re-initialize the device.

Newer devices may have local context memory instead of relying on the host for backing store. In these cases, HWRM_FUNC_BACKING_STORE_QCAPS will return a zero entry size to indicate contexts for which the host should not allocate backing store. Selectively allocate context memory based on device capabilities and only enable backing store for the appropriate contexts.

Alexander Lobakin says: ==================== skbuff: introduce skbuff_heads bulking and reusing Currently, all sorts of skb allocation always do allocate skbuff_heads one by one via kmem_cache_alloc(). On the other hand, we have percpu napi_alloc_cache to store skbuff_heads queued up for freeing and flush them by bulks. We can use this cache not only for bulk-wiping, but also to obtain heads for new skbs and avoid unconditional allocations, as well as for bulk-allocating (like XDP's cpumap code and veth driver already do). As this might affect latencies, cache pressure and lots of hardware and driver-dependent stuff, this new feature is mostly optional and can be issued via: - a new napi_build_skb() function (as a replacement for build_skb()); - existing {,__}napi_alloc_skb() and napi_get_frags() functions; - __alloc_skb() with passing SKB_ALLOC_NAPI in flags. iperf3 showed 35-70 Mbps bumps for both TCP and UDP while performing VLAN NAT on 1.2 GHz MIPS board. The boost is likely to be bigger on more powerful hosts and NICs with tens of Mpps. Note on skbuff_heads from distant slabs or pfmemalloc'ed slabs: - kmalloc()/kmem_cache_alloc() itself allows by default allocating memory from the remote nodes to defragment their slabs. This is controlled by sysctl, but according to this, skbuff_head from a remote node is an OK case; - The easiest way to check if the slab of skbuff_head is remote or pfmemalloc'ed is: if (!dev_page_is_reusable(virt_to_head_page(skb))) /* drop it */; ...*but*, regarding that most slabs are built of compound pages, virt_to_head_page() will hit unlikely-branch every single call. This check costed at least 20 Mbps in test scenarios and seems like it'd be better to _not_ do this. Since v5 [4]: - revert flags-to-bool conversion and simplify flags testing in __alloc_skb() (Alexander Duyck). Since v4 [3]: - rebase on top of net-next and address kernel build robot issue; - reorder checks a bit in __alloc_skb() to make new condition even more harmless. Since v3 [2]: - make the feature mostly optional, so driver developers could decide whether to use it or not (Paolo Abeni). This reuses the old flag for __alloc_skb() and introduces a new napi_build_skb(); - reduce bulk-allocation size from 32 to 16 elements (also Paolo). This equals to the value of XDP's devmap and veth batch processing (which were tested a lot) and should be sane enough; - don't waste cycles on explicit in_serving_softirq() check. Since v2 [1]: - also cover {,__}alloc_skb() and {,__}build_skb() cases (became handy after the changes that pass tiny skbs requests to kmalloc layer); - cover the cache with KASAN instrumentation (suggested by Eric Dumazet, help of Dmitry Vyukov); - completely drop redundant __kfree_skb_flush() (also Eric); - lots of code cleanups; - expand the commit message with NUMA and pfmemalloc points (Jakub). Since v1 [0]: - use one unified cache instead of two separate to greatly simplify the logics and reduce hotpath overhead (Edward Cree); - new: recycle also GRO_MERGED_FREE skbs instead of immediate freeing; - correct performance numbers after optimizations and performing lots of tests for different use cases.

napi_frags_finish() and napi_skb_finish() can only be called inside NAPI Rx context, so we can feed NAPI cache with skbuff_heads that got NAPI_MERGED_FREE verdict instead of immediate freeing. Replace __kfree_skb() with __kfree_skb_defer() in napi_skb_finish() and move napi_skb_free_stolen_head() to skbuff.c, so it can drop skbs to NAPI cache. As many drivers call napi_alloc_skb()/napi_get_frags() on their receive path, this becomes especially useful. Signed-off-by: Alexander Lobakin <alobakin@pm.me> Signed-off-by: David S.

Instead of just bulk-flushing skbuff_heads queued up through napi_consume_skb() or __kfree_skb_defer(), try to reuse them on allocation path. If the cache is empty on allocation, bulk-allocate the first 16 elements, which is more efficient than per-skb allocation. If the cache is full on freeing, bulk-wipe the second half of the cache (32 elements). This also includes custom KASAN poisoning/unpoisoning to be double sure there are no use-after-free cases. To not change current behaviour, introduce a new function, napi_build_skb(), to optionally use a new approach later in drivers. Note on selected bulk size, 16: - this equals to XDP_BULK_QUEUE_SIZE, DEV_MAP_BULK_SIZE and especially VETH_XDP_BATCH, which is also used to bulk-allocate skbuff_heads and was tested on powerful setups; - this also showed the best performance in the actual test series (from the array of {8, 16, 32}).

While commit 24adbc16 ("tcp: fix SO_RCVLOWAT hangs with fat skbs") fixed an issue vs too small sk_rcvbuf for given sk_rcvlowat constraint, it missed to address issue caused by memory pressure. 1) If we are under memory pressure and socket receive queue is empty. First incoming packet is allowed to be queued, after commit 76dfa608 ("tcp: allow one skb to be received per socket under memory pressure") But we do not send EPOLLIN yet, in case tcp_data_ready() sees sk_rcvlowat is bigger than skb length. 2) Then, when next packet comes, it is dropped, and we directly call sk->sk_data_ready(). 3) If application is using poll(), tcp_poll() will then use tcp_stream_is_readable() and decide the socket receive queue is not yet filled, so nothing will happen. Even when sender retransmits packets, phases 2) & 3) repeat and flow is effectively frozen, until memory pressure is off. Fix is to consider tcp_under_memory_pressure() to take care of global memory pressure or memcg pressure.

Add tests in tc_flower.sh for generic matching on MPLS Label Stack Entries. The label, tc, bos and ttl fields are tested for the first and second labels. For each field, the minimal and maximal values are tested (the former at depth 1 and the later at depth 2). There are also tests for matching the presence of a label stack entry at a given depth. In order to reduce the amount of code, all "lse" subcommands are tested in match_mpls_lse_test(). Action "continue" is used, so that test packets are evaluated by all filters. Then, we can verify if each filter matched the expected number of packets. Some versions of tc-flower produced invalid json output when dumping MPLS filters with depth > 1.

The chip can configure unicast flooding, broadcast flooding and learning. Learning is per port, while flooding is per {ingress, egress} port pair and we need to configure the same value for all possible ingress ports towards the requested one. While multicast flooding is not officially supported, we can hack it by using a feature of the second generation (P/Q/R/S) devices, which is that FDB entries are maskable, and multicast addresses always have an odd first octet. So by putting a match-all for 00:01:00:00:00:00 addr and 00:01:00:00:00:00 mask at the end of the FDB, we make sure that it is always checked last, and does not take precedence in front of any other MDB. So it behaves effectively as an unknown multicast entry. For the first generation switches, this feature is not available, so unknown multicast will always be treated the same as unknown unicast. So the only thing we can do is request the user to offload the settings for these 2 flags in tandem, i.e. ip link set swp2 type bridge_slave flood off Error: sja1105: This chip cannot configure multicast flooding independently of unicast. ip link set swp2 type bridge_slave flood off mcast_flood off ip link set swp2 type bridge_slave mcast_flood on Error: sja1105: This chip cannot configure multicast flooding independently of unicast.

We should not be unconditionally enabling address learning, since doing that is actively detrimential when a port is standalone and not offloading a bridge. Namely, if a port in the switch is standalone and others are offloading the bridge, then we could enter a situation where we learn an address towards the standalone port, but the bridged ports could not forward the packet there, because the CPU is the only path between the standalone and the bridged ports. The solution of course is to not enable address learning unless the bridge asks for it. We need to set up the initial port flags for no learning and flooding everything, and also when the port joins and leaves the bridge. The flood configuration was already configured ok for standalone mode in ocelot_init, we just need to disable learning in ocelot_init_port.

There are multiple ways in which a PORT_BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute can be expressed by the bridge through switchdev, and not all of them can be emulated by DSA mid-layer API at the same time. One possible configuration is when the bridge offloads the port flags using a mask that has a single bit set - therefore only one feature should change. However, DSA currently groups together unicast and multicast flooding in the .port_egress_floods method, which limits our options when we try to add support for turning off broadcast flooding: do we extend .port_egress_floods with a third parameter which b53 and mv88e6xxx will ignore? But that means that the DSA layer, which currently implements the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute all by itself, will see that .port_egress_floods is implemented, and will report that all 3 types of flooding are supported - not necessarily true. Another configuration is when the user specifies more than one flag at the same time, in the same netlink message. If we were to create one individual function per offloadable bridge port flag, we would limit the expressiveness of the switch driver of refusing certain combinations of flag values. For example, a switch may not have an explicit knob for flooding of unknown multicast, just for flooding in general. In that case, the only correct thing to do is to allow changes to BR_FLOOD and BR_MCAST_FLOOD in tandem, and never allow mismatched values. But having a separate .port_set_unicast_flood and .port_set_multicast_flood would not allow the driver to possibly reject that. Also, DSA doesn't consider it necessary to inform the driver that a SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_MROUTER attribute was offloaded, because it just calls .port_egress_floods for the CPU port. When we'll add support for the plain SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_MROUTER, that will become a real problem because the flood settings will need to be held statefully in the DSA middle layer, otherwise changing the mrouter port attribute will impact the flooding attribute. And that's _assuming_ that the underlying hardware doesn't have anything else to do when a multicast router attaches to a port than flood unknown traffic to it. If it does, there will need to be a dedicated .port_set_mrouter anyway. So we need to let the DSA drivers see the exact form that the bridge passes this switchdev attribute in, otherwise we are standing in the way. Therefore we also need to use this form of language when communicating to the driver that it needs to configure its initial (before bridge join) and final (after bridge leave) port flags. The b53 and mv88e6xxx drivers are converted to the passthrough API and their implementation of .port_egress_floods is split into two: a function that configures unicast flooding and another for multicast. The mv88e6xxx implementation is quite hairy, and it turns out that the implementations of unknown unicast flooding are actually the same for 6185 and for 6352: behind the confusing names actually lie two individual bits: NO_UNKNOWN_MC -> FLOOD_UC = 0x4 = BIT(2) NO_UNKNOWN_UC -> FLOOD_MC = 0x8 = BIT(3) so there was no reason to entangle them in the first place. Whereas the 6185 writes to MV88E6185_PORT_CTL0_FORWARD_UNKNOWN of PORT_CTL0, which has the exact same bit index. I have left the implementations separate though, for the only reason that the names are different enough to confuse me, since I am not able to double-check with a user manual. The multicast flooding setting for 6185 is in a different register than for 6352 though.

This switchdev attribute offers a counterproductive API for a driver writer, because although br_switchdev_set_port_flag gets passed a "flags" and a "mask", those are passed piecemeal to the driver, so while the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS listener knows what changed because it has the "mask", the BRIDGE_FLAGS listener doesn't, because it only has the final value. But certain drivers can offload only certain combinations of settings, like for example they cannot change unicast flooding independently of multicast flooding - they must be both on or both off. The way the information is passed to switchdev makes drivers not expressive enough, and unable to reject this request ahead of time, in the PRE_BRIDGE_FLAGS notifier, so they are forced to reject it during the deferred BRIDGE_FLAGS attribute, where the rejection is currently ignored. This patch also changes drivers to make use of the "mask" field for edge detection when possible.

For a DSA switch port operating in standalone mode, address learning doesn't make much sense since that is a bridge function. In fact, address learning even breaks setups such as this one: +---------------------------------------------+ | | | +-------------------+ | | | br0 | send receive | | +--------+-+--------+ +--------+ +--------+ | | | | | | | | | | | | | swp0 | | swp1 | | swp2 | | swp3 | | | | | | | | | | | | +-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+--------+-+ | ^ | ^ | | | | | +-----------+ | | | +--------------------------------+ because if the switch has a single FDB (can offload a single bridge) then source address learning on swp3 can "steal" the source MAC address of swp2 from br0's FDB, because learning frames coming from swp2 will be done twice: first on the swp1 ingress port, second on the swp3 ingress port. So the hardware FDB will become out of sync with the software bridge, and when swp2 tries to send one more packet towards swp1, the ASIC will attempt to short-circuit the forwarding path and send it directly to swp3 (since that's the last port it learned that address on), which it obviously can't, because swp3 operates in standalone mode. So DSA drivers operating in standalone mode should still configure a list of bridge port flags even when they are standalone. Currently DSA attempts to call dsa_port_bridge_flags with 0, which disables egress flooding of unknown unicast and multicast, something which doesn't make much sense. For the switches that implement .port_egress_floods - b53 and mv88e6xxx, it probably doesn't matter too much either, since they can possibly inject traffic from the CPU into a standalone port, regardless of MAC DA, even if egress flooding is turned off for that port, but certainly not all DSA switches can do that - sja1105, for example, can't. So it makes sense to use a better common default there, such as "flood everything". It should also be noted that what DSA calls "dsa_port_bridge_flags()" is a degenerate name for just calling .port_egress_floods(), since nothing else is implemented - not learning, in particular. But disabling address learning, something that this driver is also coding up for, will be supported by individual drivers once .port_egress_floods is replaced with a more generic .port_bridge_flags. Previous attempts to code up this logic have been in the common bridge layer, but as pointed out by Ido Schimmel, there are corner cases that are missed when doing that: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210209151936.97382-5-olteanv@gmail.com/ So, at least for now, let's leave DSA in charge of setting port flags before and after the bridge join and leave.

For the netlink interface, propagate errors through extack rather than simply printing them to the console. For the sysfs interface, we still print to the console, but at least that's one layer higher than in switchdev, which also allows us to silently ignore the offloading of flags if that is ever needed in the future.

If for example this command: ip link set swp0 type bridge_slave flood off mcast_flood off learning off succeeded at configuring BR_FLOOD and BR_MCAST_FLOOD but not at BR_LEARNING, there would be no attempt to revert the partial state in any way. Arguably, if the user changes more than one flag through the same netlink command, this one _should_ be all or nothing, which means it should be passed through switchdev as all or nothing.

When a struct switchdev_attr is notified through switchdev, there is no way to report informational messages, unlike for struct switchdev_obj.

Alex Elder says: ==================== net: ipa: some more cleanup Version 3 of this series uses dev_err_probe() in the second patch, as suggested by Heiner Kallweit. Version 2 was sent to ensure the series was based on current net-next/master, and added copyright updates to files touched. The original introduction is below. This is another fairly innocuous set of cleanup patches. The first was motivated by a bug found that would affect IPA v4.5. It maintain a new GSI address pointer; one is the "raw" (original mapped) address, and the other will have been adjusted if necessary for use on newer platforms. The second just quiets some unnecessary noise during early probe. The third fixes some errors that show up when IPA_VALIDATION is enabled. The last two just create helper functions to improve readability. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
