Instead of having individual PHY drivers set the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_Asym_Pause flags, phylib itself should set those flags, unless there is a hardware erratum or other special case. During autonegotiation, the PHYs will determine whether to enable pause frame support. Pause frames are a feature that is supported by the MAC. It is the MAC that generates the frames and that processes them. The PHY can only be configured to allow them to pass through. This commit also effectively reverts the recently applied c7a61319 ("net: phy: dp83848: Support ethernet pause frames"). So the new process is: 1) Unless the PHY driver overrides it, phylib sets the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits in phydev->supported. This indicates that the PHY supports pause frames. 2) The MAC driver checks phydev->supported before it calls phy_start(). If (SUPPORTED_Pause | SUPPORTED_AsymPause) is set, then the MAC driver sets those bits in phydev->advertising, if it wants to enable pause frame support. 3) When the link state changes, the MAC driver checks phydev->pause and phydev->asym_pause, If the bits are set, then it enables the corresponding features in the MAC. The algorithm is: if (phydev->pause) The MAC should be programmed to receive and honor pause frames it receives, i.e. enable receive flow control. if (phydev->pause != phydev->asym_pause) The MAC should be programmed to transmit pause frames when needed, i.e. enable transmit flow control.

Lino Sanfilippo authored
The driver uses a private lock for synchronization of the xmit function and the xmit completion handler, but since the NETIF_F_LLTX flag is not set, the xmit function is also called with the xmit_lock held. On the other hand the completion handler uses the reverse locking order by first taking the private lock and (in case that the tx queue had been stopped) then the xmit_lock. Improve the locking by removing the private lock and using only the xmit_lock for synchronization instead. Signed-off-by:

Vivien Didelot says: ==================== net: bridge: fast ageing on topology change 802.1D [1] specifies that the bridges in a network must use a short value to age out dynamic entries in the Filtering Database for a period, once a topology change has been communicated by the root bridge. This patchset fixes this for the in-kernel STP implementation. Once the topology change flag is set in a net_bridge instance, the ageing time value is shorten to twice the forward delay used by the topology. When the topology change flag is cleared, the ageing time configured for the bridge is restored. To accomplish that, a new bridge_ageing_time member is added to the net_bridge structure, to store the user configured bridge ageing time. Two helpers are added to offload the ageing time and set the topology change flag in the net_bridge instance. Then the required logic is added in the topology change helper if in-kernel STP is used. This has been tested on the following topology: +--------------+ | root bridge | | 1 2 3 4 | +--+--+--+--+--+ | | | | +--------+ | | | +------| laptop | | | | +--------+ +--+--+--+-----+ | 1 2 3 | | slave bridge | +--------------+ When unplugging/replugging the laptop, the slave bridge (under test) gets the topology change flag sent by the root bridge, and fast ageing is triggered on the bridges. Once the topology change timer of the root bridge expires, the topology change flag is cleared and the configured ageing time is restored on the bridges. A similar test has been done between two bridges under test. When changing the forward delay of the root bridge with: # echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/forward_delay the ageing time correctly changes on both bridges from 300s to 60s while the TOPOLOGY_CHANGE flag is present.

When trying to get a regulator we may get deferred and we see this noise: smsc911x 1b800000.ethernet-ebi2 (unnamed net_device) (uninitialized): couldn't get regulators -517 Then the driver continues anyway. Which means that the regulator may not be properly retrieved and reference counted, and may be switched off in case noone else is using it. Fix this by returning silently on deferred probe and let the system work it out. Cc: Jeremy Linton <jeremy.linton@arm.com> Signed-off-by:

This patch is based on an earlier one submitted by Jon Maxwell with the following commit message: "We recently encountered a bug where a few customers using ibmveth on the same LPAR hit an issue where a TCP session hung when large receive was enabled. Closer analysis revealed that the session was stuck because the one side was advertising a zero window repeatedly. We narrowed this down to the fact the ibmveth driver did not set gso_size which is translated by TCP into the MSS later up the stack. The MSS is used to calculate the TCP window size and as that was abnormally large, it was calculating a zero window, even although the sockets receive buffer was completely empty." We rely on the Virtual I/O Server partition in a pseries environment to provide the MSS through the TCP header checksum field. The stipulation is that users should not disable checksum offloading if rx packet aggregation is enabled through VIOS. Some firmware offerings provide the MSS in the RX buffer. This is signalled by a bit in the RX queue descriptor. Reviewed-by:

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== udp: receive path optimizations This patch series provides about 100 % performance increase under flood. v2: added Paolo feedback on udp_rmem_release() for tiny sk_rcvbuf added the last patch touching sk_rmem_alloc later ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Eric Dumazet authored
In flood situations, keeping sk_rmem_alloc at a high value prevents producers from touching the socket. It makes sense to lower sk_rmem_alloc only at the end of udp_rmem_release() after the thread draining receive queue in udp_recvmsg() finished the writes to sk_forward_alloc. Signed-off-by:
-
Eric Dumazet authored
If udp_recvmsg() constantly releases sk_rmem_alloc for every read packet, it gives opportunity for producers to immediately grab spinlocks and desperatly try adding another packet, causing false sharing. We can add a simple heuristic to give the signal by batches of ~25 % of the queue capacity. This patch considerably increases performance under flood by about 50 %, since the thread draining the queue is no longer slowed by false sharing. Signed-off-by:

In UDP RX handler, we currently clear skb->dev before skb is added to receive queue, because device pointer is no longer available once we exit from RCU section. Since this first cache line is always hot, lets reuse this space to store skb->truesize and thus avoid a cache line miss at udp_recvmsg()/udp_skb_destructor time while receive queue spinlock is held. Signed-off-by:
-
Eric Dumazet authored
Idea of busylocks is to let producers grab an extra spinlock to relieve pressure on the receive_queue spinlock shared by consumer. This behavior is requested only once socket receive queue is above half occupancy. Under flood, this means that only one producer can be in line trying to acquire the receive_queue spinlock. These busylock can be allocated on a per cpu manner, instead of a per socket one (that would consume a cache line per socket) This patch considerably improves UDP behavior under stress, depending on number of NIC RX queues and/or RPS spread.

Timur Tabi says: ==================== net: qcom/emac: simplify support for different SOCs On SOCs that have the Qualcomm EMAC network controller, the internal PHY block is always different. Sometimes the differences are small, sometimes it might be a completely different IP. Either way, using version numbers to differentiate them and putting all of the init code in one file does not scale. This patchset does two things: The first breaks up the current code into different files, and the second patch adds support for a third SOC, the Qualcomm Technologies QDF2400 ARM Server SOC. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Timur Tabi authored
The QDF2432 and the QDF2400 have slightly different internal PHYs, so there are some programming differences. Some of the registers in the QDF2400 have moved, and some registers require different values during initialization. Because of the differences, and because HIDs are a scare resource, the ACPI tables specify the hardware version in an _HRV property. Version 1 is the QDF2432, and version 2 is the QDF2400. Any future SOC that has the same internal PHY but different programming requirements will be assigned the next available version number. Signed-off-by:
-
Timur Tabi authored
The internal PHY of the EMAC differs on each SOC, and the list will only continue to grow. By separating the code into individual files, we can add support for more SOCs more cleanly. Note: The internal PHY is also sometimes called the SGMII device. We also stop referring to the various PHY variations by version number, so no more "v2", "v3", etc. Instead, the devices are named after the SOC they are, which is in sync with the device tree property names. Future patches will probably rearrange more code among the files. Signed-off-by:

Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams: "Several fixes to the DSM (ACPI device specific method) marshaling implementation. I consider these urgent enough to send for 4.9 consideration since they fix the kernel's handling of ARS (Address Range Scrub) commands. Especially for platforms without machine-check-recovery capabilities, successful execution of ARS commands enables the platform to potentially break out of an infinite reboot problem if a media error is present in the boot path. There is also a one line fix for a device-dax read-only mapping regression. Commits 9a901f54 ("acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations for ACPI DSMs") and 325896ff ("device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only") are true regression fixes for changes introduced this cycle. Commit efda1b5d ("acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling") fixes the kernel's handling of zero-length results, this never would have worked in the past, but we only just recently discovered a BIOS implementation that emits this arguably spec non-compliant result. The remaining two commits are additional fall out from thinking through the implications of a zero / truncated length result of the ARS Status command. In order to mitigate the risk that these changes introduce yet more regressions they are backstopped by a new unit test in commit a7de92da ("tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl()") that mocks up inputs to acpi_nfit_ctl()" * 'libnvdimm-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: device-dax: fix private mapping restriction, permit read-only tools/testing/nvdimm: unit test acpi_nfit_ctl() acpi, nfit: fix bus vs dimm confusion in xlat_status acpi, nfit: validate ars_status output buffer size acpi, nfit, libnvdimm: fix / harden ars_status output length handling acpi, nfit: fix extended status translations for ACPI DSMs
