TI_CPSW_PHY_SEL depended on TI_CPSW and was selected by the latter. So there is no reason to have this symbol visible. A further optimisation would be to put the code for both symbols into a single module which would allow to not export at least cpsw_phy_sel() and simplify the module load process.

In preparation for hardware offloading of ipmr/ip6mr we need an interface that allows to check (and later update) the age of entries. Relying on stats alone can show activity but not actual age of the entry, furthermore when there're tens of thousands of entries a lot of the hardware implementations only support "hit" bits which are cleared on read to denote that the entry was active and shouldn't be aged out, these can then be naturally translated into age timestamp and will be compatible with the software forwarding age. Using a lastuse entry doesn't affect performance because the members in that cache line are written to along with the age. Since all new users are encouraged to use ipmr via netlink, this is exported via the RTA_EXPIRES attribute. Also do a minor local variable declaration style adjustment - arrange them longest to shortest.

Some devices of the same type all export the same, random MAC address. This behavior has been seen on the ZTE MF910, MF823 and MF831, and there are probably more devices out there. Fix this by generating a valid random MAC address if we read a random MAC from device. Also, changed the memcpy() to ether_addr_copy(), as pointed out by checkpatch.

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: simplify receive path and consolidate forwarding paths This set tries to simplify the receive and forwarding paths. Patch 01 is a trivial style adjustment, patch 02 removes one conditional from the unicast fast path, patch 03 removes another conditional and more imporantly removes the skb0/skb2 ambiguity about locally receiving the skb and switches to a boolean called "local_rcv". Patch 04 is the most important change which consolidates the forwarding paths for locally originated and forwarded packets into __br_forward. This allows us to remove the function pointers giving a minor performance boost, more importantly it makes it much easier to reason about the forwarding path and reduces the code duplication that was needed when making changes. Also it allows the receive path to fully setup the environment prior to calling any forwarding functions (i.e. to properly set unicast, local_rcv and search for unicast/mcast dst). Functionally everything should stay the same after this set. I've done basic tests with unicast/multicast/broadcast Tx/Rx. Please review carefully. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Before this patch we had two flavors of most forwarding functions - _forward and _deliver, the difference being that the latter are used when the packets are locally originated. Instead of all this function pointer passing and code duplication, we can just pass a boolean noting that the packet was locally originated and use that to perform the necessary checks in __br_forward. This gives a minor performance improvement but more importantly consolidates the forwarding paths. Also add a kernel doc comment to explain the exported br_forward()'s arguments.

Currently if the packet is going to be received locally we set skb0 or sometimes called skb2 variables to the original skb. This can get confusing and also we can avoid one conditional on the fast path by simply using a boolean and passing it around. Thanks to Roopa for the name suggestion.

This work addresses a couple of issues bpf_skb_event_output() helper currently has: i) We need two copies instead of just a single one for the skb data when it should be part of a sample. The data can be non-linear and thus needs to be extracted via bpf_skb_load_bytes() helper first, and then copied once again into the ring buffer slot. ii) Since bpf_skb_load_bytes() currently needs to be used first, the helper needs to see a constant size on the passed stack buffer to make sure BPF verifier can do sanity checks on it during verification time. Thus, just passing skb->len (or any other non-constant value) wouldn't work, but changing bpf_skb_load_bytes() is also not the proper solution, since the two copies are generally still needed. iii) bpf_skb_load_bytes() is just for rather small buffers like headers, since they need to sit on the limited BPF stack anyway. Instead of working around in bpf_skb_load_bytes(), this work improves the bpf_skb_event_output() helper to address all 3 at once. We can make use of the passed in skb context that we have in the helper anyway, and use some of the reserved flag bits as a length argument. The helper will use the new __output_custom() facility from perf side with bpf_skb_copy() as callback helper to walk and extract the data. It will pass the data for setup to bpf_event_output(), which generates and pushes the raw record with an additional frag part. The linear data used in the first frag of the record serves as programmatically defined meta data passed along with the appended sample.

Split the bpf_perf_event_output() helper as a preparation into two parts. The new bpf_perf_event_output() will prepare the raw record itself and test for unknown flags from BPF trace context, where the __bpf_perf_event_output() does the core work. The latter will be reused later on from bpf_event_output() directly. Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds support for non-linear data on raw records. It extends raw records to have one or multiple fragments that will be written linearly into the ring slot, where each fragment can optionally have a custom callback handler to walk and extract complex, possibly non-linear data. If a callback handler is provided for a fragment, then the new __output_custom() will be used instead of __output_copy() for the perf_output_sample() part. perf_prepare_sample() does all the size calculation only once, so perf_output_sample() doesn't need to redo the same work anymore, meaning real_size and padding will be cached in the raw record. The raw record becomes 32 bytes in size without holes; to not increase it further and to avoid doing unnecessary recalculations in fast-path, we can reuse next pointer of the last fragment, idea here is borrowed from ZERO_OR_NULL_PTR(), which should keep the perf_output_sample() path for PERF_SAMPLE_RAW minimal. This facility is needed for BPF's event output helper as a first user that will, in a follow-up, add an additional perf_raw_frag to its perf_raw_record in order to be able to more efficiently dump skb context after a linear head meta data related to it. skbs can be non-linear and thus need a custom output function to dump buffers. Currently, the skb data needs to be copied twice; with the help of __output_custom() this work only needs to be done once. Future users could be things like XDP/BPF programs that work on different context though and would thus also have a different callback function. The few users of raw records are adapted to initialize their frag data from the raw record itself, no change in behavior for them. The code is based upon a PoC diff provided by Peter Zijlstra [1].

Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== RDS: TCP: Enable mprds for rds-tcp The third, and final, installment for mprds-tcp changes. In Patch 3 of this set, if the transport support t_mp_capable, we hash outgoing traffic across multiple paths. Additionally, even if the transport is MP capable, we may be peering with some node that does not support mprds, or supports a different number of paths. This necessitates RDS control plane changes so that both peers agree on the number of paths to be used for the rds-tcp connection. Patch 3 implements all these changes, which are documented in patch 5 of the series. Patch 1 of this series is a bug fix for a race-condition that has always existed, but is now more easily encountered with mprds. Patch 2 is code refactoring. Patches 4 and 5 are Documentation updates. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
