Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-05-01 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. The theme of this series is code reduction, with several code cleanups in this series. Starting with Neerav's removal of the code that implemented the HMC AQ APIs and calls, since they are now obsolete and not supported by firmware. Anjali changes the default of VFs to make sure they are not trusted or privileged until its explicitly set for trust through the new NDO op interface. Also limited the number of MAC and VLAN addresses a VF can add if it is untrusted/privileged. Carolyn syncs the VF code for the changes made to the PF for the RSS hash tuple settings, which ends up cleaning up much of the existing code. Jesse cleans up compiler warnings which were found with gcc's W=2 option. Then removed duplicate code, especially since only one copy was actually being used. Jacob addresses an issue which was found when testing GCC 6's which happens to produce new warnings when you left shift a signed value beyond the storage sizeof the type. The converts i40e & i40evf to use the BIT() macro more consistently. Alex actually bucks the trend of code removal by adding support for both drivers to use GSO_PARTIAL so that segmentation of frames with checksums enabled in outer headers is supported. Fortunately it does not take much to add this support! ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Dave Miller pointed out that fb586f25 ("sctp: delay calls to sk_data_ready() as much as possible") may insert latency specially if the receiving application is running on another CPU and that it would be better if we signalled as early as possible. This patch thus basically inverts the logic on fb586f25 and signals it as early as possible, similar to what we had before.

Since commit b74766a0 ("phylib: don't return NULL from get_phy_device()") in linux-next, phy_get_device() will return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead of NULL if the PHY device ID is all ones. This causes problem with stmmac driver and likely some other drivers which call mdiobus_register(). I triggered this bug on SoCFPGA MCVEVK board with linux-next 20160427 and 20160428. In case of the stmmac, if there is no PHY node specified in the DT for the stmmac block, the stmmac driver ( drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_mdio.c function stmmac_mdio_register() ) will call mdiobus_register() , which will register the MDIO bus and probe for the PHY. The mdiobus_register() resp. __mdiobus_register() iterates over all of the addresses on the MDIO bus and calls mdiobus_scan() for each of them, which invokes get_phy_device(). Before the aforementioned patch, the mdiobus_scan() would return NULL if no PHY was found on a given address and mdiobus_register() would continue and try the next PHY address. Now, mdiobus_scan() returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), which is caught by the 'if (IS_ERR(phydev))' condition and the loop exits immediately if the PHY address does not contain PHY. Repair this by explicitly checking for the ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and if this error comes around, continue with the next PHY address.

This patch makes it so that i40e and i40evf can use GSO_PARTIAL to support segmentation for frames with checksums enabled in outer headers. As a result we can now send data over these types of tunnels at over 20Gb/s versus the 12Gb/s that was previously possible on my system. The advantage with the i40e parts is that this offload is mostly transparent as the hardware still deals with the inner and/or outer IPv4 headers so the IP ID is still incrementing for both when this offload is performed.

Previously, the default settings were returned in this function. However, the default can be changed by the PF so this does not make sense anymore.

When we are displaying statistics for the first link established between two peers, it will always be presented as STANDBY although it in reality is ACTIVE. This happens because we forget to set the 'active' flag in the link instance at the moment it is established.

Add a check whether the 'struct device_node' pointer passed to of_mdiobus_register() is an available (aka enabled) node in the Device Tree. Rationale for doing this are cases where an Ethernet MAC provides a MDIO bus controller and node, and an additional Ethernet MAC might be connecting its PHY/switches to that first MDIO bus controller, while still embedding one internally which is therefore marked as "disabled". Instead of sprinkling checks like these in callers of of_mdiobus_register(), do this in a central location.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox 100G mlx5 ethernet aRFS support This series adds accelerated RFS support for the mlx5e driver. I have added one patch non-related to aRFS that fixes the rtnl_lock warning mlx5 driver been getting since b7aade15 ('vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers') aRFS support in details: A direct TIR per RQ is now required in order to have the essential building blocks for aRFS. Today the driver has one direct TIR that forwards traffic to RQ[0] (core 0), and one indirect TIR for RSS indirection table. For that we've added one direct TIR per RQ, e.g.: TIR[i] -> RQ[i] (core i). Publicize Modify flow rule destination and reveal it in flow steering API, to have the ability to dynamically modify the destination TIR(core) for aRFS rules from the ethernet driver. Initializing CPU reverse mapping to notify upper layer on internal receive queue cpu mappings. Some design refactoring for mlx5e ethernet driver flow tables and flow steering API. Now the caller of create_flow_table can choose the level of the flow table, this way we will create the mlx5e flow tables in a reversed order and connect them as we go, we create flow table[i+1] before flow table[i] to be able to set flow table[i + 1] as a destination of flow table[i] once flow table[i] is created. also we have split the main flow table in the following manner: - From before: RX packet had to visit two flow tables until it is delivered to its receive queue: RX packet -> vlan filter flow table -> main flow table. > vlan filter will check the packet vlan field is allowed. > main flow will check if the dest mac is allowed and will check the l3/l4 headers to retrieve the RSS hash for steering the packet into its final receive queue. - Now main flow table is split into l2 dst mac steering table and ttc (traffic type classifier) table: RX packet -> vlan filter -> l2 table -> ttc table > vlan filter - same as before > L2 filter - filter packets according their destination mac address > ttc table - classify packet headers for RSS steering - L3/L4 classification rules to steer the packet according to thier headers hash - in case of none of the rules applies the packet is steered to RQ[0] After the above refactoring all left to-do is to create aRFS flow table which will manage aRFS steering rules to forward traffic to the desired RQ (core) and just connect the ttc table rules destinations to aRFS flow table. aRFS flow table in case of a miss will deliver the traffic to the core where the original ttc hash would have chosen. TTC table is not initialized and enabled until the user explicitly asks to, i.e. setting the NETIF_F_NTUPLE to ON. This way there is no need for ttc table to forward traffic to aRFS table unless required. When setting back to OFF aRFS flow table is disabled and disconnected. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Each rule is stored in an internal hash table, if such skb 4-tuple rule already exists we update the corresponding hardware steering rule with the new destination.

Create the following four flow tables for aRFS usage: 1. IPv4 TCP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv4 TCP packets. 2. IPv6 TCP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv6 TCP packets. 3. IPv4 UDP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv4 UDP packets. 4. IPv6 UDP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv6 UDP packets. Each flow table has two flow groups: one for the 4-tuple filtering (full match) and the other contains * rule for miss rule. Full match rule means a hit for aRFS and packet will be forwarded to the dedicated RQ/Core, miss rule packets will be forwarded to default RSS hashing.

Currently, the main flow table is used for two purposes: One is to do mac filtering and the other is to classify the packet l3-l4 header in order to steer the packet to the right RSS TIR. This design is very complex, for each configured mac address we have to add eleven rules (rule for each traffic type), the same if the device is put to promiscuous/allmulti mode. This scheme isn't scalable for future features like aRFS. In order to simplify it, the main flow table is split to two flow tables: 1. l2 table - filter the packet dmac address, if there is a match we forward to the ttc flow table. 2. TTC (Traffic Type Classifier) table - classify the traffic type of the packet and steer the packet to the right TIR. In this new design, when new mac address is added, the driver adds only one flow rule instead of eleven.

Currently, consumers of the flow steering infrastructure can't choose their own flow table levels and are limited to one flow table per level. This just waste levels. Instead, we introduce here the possibility to use multiple flow tables in a level. The user is free to connect these flow tables, while following the rule (FTEs in FT of level x could only point to FTs of level y where y > x).

Refactors the flow steering namespace creation, by changing the name num_fts to num_levels. When new flow table is created, the driver assign new level to this flow table therefore the meaning is equivalent.

Guillaume Nault says: ==================== ppp: add rtnetlink support PPP devices lack the ability to be customised at creation time. In particular they can't be created in a given netns or with a particular name. Moving or renaming the device after creation is possible, but creates undesirable transient effects on servers where PPP devices are constantly created and removed, as users connect and disconnect. Implementing rtnetlink support solves this problem. The rtnetlink handlers implemented in this series are minimal, and can only replace the PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl. The rest of PPP ioctls remains necessary for any other operation on channels and units. It is perfectly possible to mix PPP devices created by rtnl and by ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). Devices will behave in the same way. mutex_trylock() is used to resolve the locking issue wrt. locking dependency between rtnl_lock() and ppp_mutex (see ppp_nl_newlink() in patch #2). A user visible difference brought by this series is that old PPP interfaces (those created with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT)), can now be removed by "ip link del", just like new rtnl based PPP devices. Changes since v3: - Rebase on net-next. - Not an RFC anymore. Changes since v2: - Define ->rtnl_link_ops for ioctl based PPP devices, so they can handle rtnl messages just like rtnl based ones (suggested by Stephen Hemminger). - Move back to original lock ordering between ppp_mutex and rtnl_lock to simplify patch series. Handle lock inversion issue using mutex_trylock() (suggested by Stephen Hemminger). - Do file descriptor lookup directly in ppp_nl_newlink(), to simplify ppp_dev_configure(). Changes since v1: - Rebase on net-next. - Invert locking order wrt. ppp_mutex and rtnl_lock and protect file->private_data with ppp_mutex. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
