Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5 driver updates This series includes some bug fixes and updates for the mlx5 core and ethernet driver. From Gal, two fixes that protects the update CQ moderation flows when it is not allowed. From Moshe, two fixes for the core and ethernet driver in non-cached(NC) and write combining(WC) buffers mappings, which prevents the driver from double memory mappings. From Or, reduce the firmware command completion timeout. From Tariq, several small trivial fixes. Changes from v0: - "Fix global UAR mapping" commit messages updated to explain ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WC usage. - rebased to commit 8d3f2806 'Merge branch ethtool-ksettings' Changes from v1: - Removed ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WC config flag from "Fix global UAR mapping" commit, as it was not accurate to use it. - Squashed "Fix global UAR mapping" and "net/mlx5: Avoid double mapping of io mapped memory" - Added more info for "Fix global UAR mapping" in commit message Changes from v2: - None. resubmission per Dave's request due to two parallel submissions to mlx5 driver. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Avoid double mapping of io mapped memory, Device page may be mapped to non-cached(NC) or to write-combining(WC). The code before this fix tries to map it both to WC and NC contrary to what stated in Intel's software developer manual. Here we remove the global WC mapping of all UARS "dev->priv.bf_mapping", since UAR mapping should be decided per UAR (e.g we want different mappings for EQs, CQs vs QPs). Caller will now have to choose whether to map via write-combining API or not. mlx5e SQs will choose write-combining in order to perform BlueFlame writes.

Commit f1705ec1 allows IPv6 addresses to be retained on a link down. The address can have a cached host route which can point to the wrong FIB table if the L3 enslavement is changed (e.g., route can point to local table instead of VRF table if device is added to an L3 domain). On link up check the table of the cached host route against the FIB table associated with the device and correct if needed.

Deepa Dinamani says: ==================== Convert network timestamps to be y2038 safe Introduction: The series is aimed at transitioning network timestamps to being y2038 safe. All patches can be reviewed and merged independently. Socket timestamps and ioctl calls will be handled separately. Thanks to Arnd Bergmann for discussing solution options with me. Solution: Data type struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Replace timespec with struct timespec64 which is y2038 safe.

ICMP timestamp messages and IP source route options require timestamps to be in milliseconds modulo 24 hours from midnight UT format. Add inet_current_timestamp() function to support this. The function returns the required timestamp in network byte order. Timestamp calculation is also changed to call ktime_get_real_ts64() which uses struct timespec64. struct timespec64 is y2038 safe. Previously it called getnstimeofday() which uses struct timespec. struct timespec is not y2038 safe. Signed-off-by: Deepa Dinamani <deepa.kernel@gmail.com> Cc: "David S.

Jamal Hadi Salim says: ==================== net_sched: Add support for IFE action As agreed at netconf in Seville, here's the patch finally (1 year was just too long to wait for an ethertype. Now we are just going have the user configure one). Described in netdev01 paper: "Distributing Linux Traffic Control Classifier-Action Subsystem" Authors: Jamal Hadi Salim and Damascene M. Joachimpillai The original motivation and deployment of this work was to horizontally scale packet processing at scope of a chasis or rack. This means one could take a tc policy and split it across machines connected over L2. The paper refers to this as "pipeline stage indexing". Other use cases which evolved out of the original intent include but are not limited to carrying OAM information, carrying exception handling metadata, carrying programmed authentication and authorization information, encapsulating programmed compliance information, service IDs etc. Read the referenced paper for more details. The architecture allows for incremental updates for new metadatum support to cover different use cases. This patch set includes support for basic skb metadatum. Followup patches will have more examples of metadata and other features. v4 changes: Integrate more feedback from Cong v3 changes: Integrate with the new namespace changes Remove skbhash and queue mapping metadata (but keep their claim for ids) Integrate feedback from Cong Integrate feedback from Daniel v2 changes: Remove module option for an upper bound of metadata Integrate feedback from Cong Integrate feedback from Daniel ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This action allows for a sending side to encapsulate arbitrary metadata which is decapsulated by the receiving end. The sender runs in encoding mode and the receiver in decode mode. Both sender and receiver must specify the same ethertype. At some point we hope to have a registered ethertype and we'll then provide a default so the user doesnt have to specify it. For now we enforce the user specify it. Lets show example usage where we encode icmp from a sender towards a receiver with an skbmark of 17; both sender and receiver use ethertype of 0xdead to interop. YYYY: Lets start with Receiver-side policy config: xxx: add an ingress qdisc sudo tc qdisc add dev $ETH ingress xxx: any packets with ethertype 0xdead will be subjected to ife decoding xxx: we then restart the classification so we can match on icmp at prio 3 sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 2 protocol 0xdead \ u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \ action ife decode reclassify xxx: on restarting the classification from above if it was an icmp xxx: packet, then match it here and continue to the next rule at prio 4 xxx: which will match based on skb mark of 17 sudo tc filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 3 protocol ip \ u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:1 \ action continue xxx: match on skbmark of 0x11 (decimal 17) and accept sudo tc filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 4 protocol ip \ handle 0x11 fw flowid 1:1 \ action ok xxx: Lets show the decoding policy sudo tc -s filter ls dev $ETH parent ffff: protocol 0xdead xxx: filter pref 2 u32 filter pref 2 u32 fh 800: ht divisor 1 filter pref 2 u32 fh 800::800 order 2048 key ht 800 bkt 0 flowid 1:1 (rule hit 0 success 0) match 00000000/00000000 at 0 (success 0 ) action order 1: ife decode action reclassify index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 14 sec used 14 sec type: 0x0 Metadata: allow mark allow hash allow prio allow qmap Action statistics: Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0) backlog 0b 0p requeues 0 xxx: Observe that above lists all metadatum it can decode.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== bridge: mcast: add support for temp router port This set adds support for temporary router port which doesn't depend only on the incoming queries. It can be refreshed by setting multicast_router to the same value (3). The first two patches are minor changes that prepare the code for the third which adds this new type of router port. In order to be able to dump its information the mdb router port format is changed in patch 04 and extended similar to how mdb entries format was done recently. The related iproute2 changes will be posted if this is accepted. v2: set val first and adjust router type later in patch 01, patch 03 was split in 2 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Allow for more multicast router port information to be dumped such as timer and type attributes. For that that purpose we need to extend the MDBA_ROUTER_PORT attribute similar to how it was done for the mdb entries recently. The new format is thus: [MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { <- nested attribute u32 ifindex <- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility [MDBA_ROUTER_PATTR attributes] } This way it remains compatible with older users (they'll simply retrieve the u32 in the beginning) and new users can parse the remaining attributes. It would also allow to add future extensions to the router port without breaking compatibility. Signed-off-by: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vivien Didelot says: ==================== net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: implement VLAN filtering This patchset fixes hardware bridging for non 802.1Q aware systems. The mv88e6xxx DSA driver currently depends on CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q and CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING enabled for correct bridging between switch ports. Patch 1/9 adds support for the VLAN filtering switchdev attribute in DSA. Patchs 2/9 and 3/9 add helper functions for the following patches. Patchs 4/9 to 6/9 assign dynamic address databases to VLANs, ports, and bridge groups (the lowest available FID is cleared and assigned), and thus restore support for per-port FDB operations. Patchs 7/9 to 9/9 refine ports isolation and setup 802.1Q on user demand. With this patchset, ports get correctly bridged and the driver behaves as expected, with or without 802.1Q support. With CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q enabled, setting a default PVID to the bridge correctly propagates the corresponding VLAN, in addition to the hardware bridging: # echo 42 > /sys/class/net/<bridge>/bridge/default_pvid But considering CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING enabled, the hardware VLAN filtering is enabled on all bridge members only when the user requests it: # echo 1 > /sys/class/net/<bridge>/bridge/vlan_filtering ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Now that ports isolation is correctly configured when joining or leaving a bridge, there is no need to rely on reserved VLANs to isolate unbridged ports anymore. Thus remove them, and disable 802.1Q on setup. This restores the expected behavior of hardware bridging for systems without 802.1Q or VLAN filtering enabled.

The In Chip Port Based VLAN Table contains bits used to restrict which output ports this input port can send frames to. With the VLAN filtering enabled, these tables work in conjunction with the VLAN Table Unit to allow egressing frames. In order to remove the current dependency to BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING for basic hardware bridging to work, it is necessary to restore a fine control of each port's VLANTable, on setup and when a port joins or leaves a bridge.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== Introduce devlink interface and first drivers to use it There a is need for some userspace API that would allow to expose things that are not directly related to any device class like net_device of ib_device, but rather chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide stuff. Use cases: 1) get/set of port type (Ethernet/InfiniBand) 2) setting up port splitters - split port into multiple ones and squash again, enables usage of splitter cable 3) setting up shared buffers - shared among multiple ports within one chip (work in progress) 4) configuration of switch wide properties - resources division etc - This will allow to pass configuration that is unacceptable to be passed as a module option. First patch of this set introduces a new generic Netlink based interface, called "devlink". It is similar to nl80211 model and it is heavily influenced by it, including the API definition. The devlink introduction patch implements use cases 1) and 2). Other 2 are in development atm and will be addressed by follow-ups. It is very convenient for drivers to use devlink, as you can see in other patches in this set. Counterpart for devlink is userspace tool for now called "dl". Command line interface and outputs are derived from "ip" tool so it should be easy for users to get used to it. It is available here as a standalone tool for now: https://github.com/jpirko/devlink After this is merge in kernel, I will include the "dl" or "devlink" tool into iproute2 toolset. Port type setting example: myhost:~$ dl help Usage: dl [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help } where OBJECT := { dev | port | monitor } OPTIONS := { -v/--verbose } myhost:~$ dl dev help Usage: dl dev show [DEV] myhost:~$ dl dev show pci/0000:01:00.0 myhost:~$ dl port help Usage: dl port show [DEV/PORT_INDEX] Usage: dl port set DEV/PORT_INDEX [ type { eth | ib | auto} ] Usage: dl port split DEV/PORT_INDEX count Usage: dl port unsplit DEV/PORT_INDEX myhost:~$ dl port show pci/0000:01:00.0/1: type ib ibdev mlx4_0 pci/0000:01:00.0/2: type ib ibdev mlx4_0 myhost:~$ sudo dl port set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 type eth myhost:~$ dl port show pci/0000:01:00.0/1: type eth netdev ens4 pci/0000:01:00.0/2: type ib ibdev mlx4_0 myhost:~$ sudo dl port set ens4 type auto myhost:~$ dl port show pci/0000:01:00.0/1: type eth(auto) netdev ens4 pci/0000:01:00.0/2: type ib ibdev mlx4_0 Port splitting example: myswitch:~$ sudo modprobe mlxsw_pci myswitch:~$ dl port pci/0000:03:00.0/1: type eth netdev eth0 pci/0000:03:00.0/3: type eth netdev eth1 pci/0000:03:00.0/5: type eth netdev eth2 ... pci/0000:03:00.0/63: type eth netdev eth31 myswitch:~$ sudo dl port split pci/0000:03:00.0/1 2 (or "sudo dl port split eth0 2") myswitch:~$ dl port pci/0000:03:00.0/3: type eth netdev eth1 pci/0000:03:00.0/5: type eth netdev eth2 ... pci/0000:03:00.0/63: type eth netdev eth31 pci/0000:03:00.0/1: type eth netdev eth0 split_group 16 pci/0000:03:00.0/2: type eth netdev eth32 split_group 16 myswitch:~$ sudo dl port unsplit pci/0000:03:00.0/1 myswitch:~$ dl port pci/0000:03:00.0/3: type eth netdev eth1 pci/0000:03:00.0/5: type eth netdev eth2 pci/0000:03:00.0/63: type eth netdev eth31 pci/0000:03:00.0/1: type eth netdev eth0 v2->v3: patch 1/9 -removed generated devlink index and name, use bus name and dev name as a handle for all userspace originated commands. Along with that, remove sysfs stub. Requested by Hannes Sowa. patch 2/9 -add dev param to devlink_register (api change) patch 4/9 -add dev param to devlink_register (api change) patch 9/9 -set port's speed according to width fix by Ido v1->v2: patch 1/9 -removed no longer used "devlink_dev" helper -fix couple of typos and misspells patch 4/9: -removed SET_NETDEV_DEV set to devlink dev ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Allow a user to split or unsplit a port using the newly introduced devlink ops. Once split, the original netdev is destroyed and 2 or 4 others are created, according to user configuration. The new ports are like any other port, with the sole difference of supporting a lower maximum speed. When unsplit, the reverse process takes place.

When splitting and unsplitting we'll destroy usable ports on the fly, so mark them using a NULL pointer to indicate that their local port number is free and can be re-used.
