Support for device-only IPv6 multipath next hops was dropped in commit 33bd5ac5 ("net/ipv6: Revert attempt to simplify route replace and append") and as of commit b5d2d75e ("net/ipv6: Do not allow device only routes via the multipath API"), attempts to add a next hop like that yield an explicit diagnostic. Correspondingly, drop the IPv6 parts of GRE multipath test that are supposed to test that code. Signed-off-by:

Nikolay Aleksandrov says: ==================== net: bridge: add support for backup port This set introduces a new bridge port option that allows any port to have any other port (in the same bridge of course) as its backup and traffic will be forwarded to the backup port when the primary goes down. This is mainly used in MLAG and EVPN setups where we have peerlink path which is a backup of many (or even all) ports and is a participating bridge port itself. There's more detailed information in patch 02. Patch 01 just prepares the port sysfs code for options that take raw value. The main issues that this set solves are scalability and fallback latency. We have used similar code for over 6 months now to bring the fallback latency of the backup peerlink down and avoid fdb notification storms. Also due to the nature of master devices such setup is currently not possible, and last but not least having tens of thousands of fdbs require thousands of calls to switch. I've also CCed our MLAG experts that have been using similar option. Roopa also adds: "Two switches acting in a MLAG pair are connected by the peerlink interface which is a bridge port. the config on one of the switches looks like the below. The other switch also has a similar config. eth0 is connected to one port on the server. And the server is connected to both switches. br0 -- team0---eth0 | -- switch-peerlink switch-peerlink becomes the failover/backport port when say team0 to the server goes down. Today, when team0 goes down, control plane has to withdraw all the fdb entries pointing to team0 and re-install the fdb entries pointing to switch-peerlink...and restore the fdb entries when team0 comes back up again. and this is the problem we are trying to solve. This also becomes necessary when multihoming is implemented by a standard like E-VPN https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8365#section-8 where the 'switch-peerlink' is an overlay vxlan port (like nikolay mentions in his patch commit). In these implementations, the fdb scale can be much larger. On why bond failover cannot be used here ?: the point that nikolay was alluding to is, switch-peerlink in the above example is a bridge port and is a failover/backport port for more than one or all ports in the bridge br0. And you cannot enslave switch-peerlink into a second level team with other bridge ports. Hence a multi layered team device is not an option (FWIW, switch-peerlink is also a teamed interface to the peer switch)." v3: Added Roopa's explanation and diagram v2: In patch 01 use kstrdup/kfree to avoid casting the const buf. In order to avoid using GFP_ATOMIC or always allocating I kept the spinlock inside each branch. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

This patch adds a new port attribute - IFLA_BRPORT_BACKUP_PORT, which allows to set a backup port to be used for known unicast traffic if the port has gone carrier down. The backup pointer is rcu protected and set only under RTNL, a counter is maintained so when deleting a port we know how many other ports reference it as a backup and we remove it from all. Also the pointer is in the first cache line which is hot at the time of the check and thus in the common case we only add one more test. The backup port will be used only for the non-flooding case since it's a part of the bridge and the flooded packets will be forwarded to it anyway. To remove the forwarding just send a 0/non-existing backup port. This is used to avoid numerous scalability problems when using MLAG most notably if we have thousands of fdbs one would need to change all of them on port carrier going down which takes too long and causes a storm of fdb notifications (and again when the port comes back up). In a Multi-chassis Link Aggregation setup usually hosts are connected to two different switches which act as a single logical switch. Those switches usually have a control and backup link between them called peerlink which might be used for communication in case a host loses connectivity to one of them. We need a fast way to failover in case a host port goes down and currently none of the solutions (like bond) cannot fulfill the requirements because the participating ports are actually the "master" devices and must have the same peerlink as their backup interface and at the same time all of them must participate in the bridge device. As Roopa noted it's normal practice in routing called fast re-route where a precalculated backup path is used when the main one is down. Another use case of this is with EVPN, having a single vxlan device which is backup of every port. Due to the nature of master devices it's not currently possible to use one device as a backup for many and still have all of them participate in the bridge (which is master itself). More detailed information about MLAG is available at the link below. https://docs.cumulusnetworks.com/display/DOCS/Multi-Chassis+Link+Aggregation+-+MLAG Further explanation and a diagram by Roopa: Two switches acting in a MLAG pair are connected by the peerlink interface which is a bridge port. the config on one of the switches looks like the below. The other switch also has a similar config. eth0 is connected to one port on the server. And the server is connected to both switches. br0 -- team0---eth0 | -- switch-peerlink Signed-off-by:

Jakub Kicinski authored
After device is stopped we reset the rings by moving all free buffers to positions [0, cnt - 2], and clear the position cnt - 1 in the ring. We then proceed to clear the read/write pointers. This means that if we try to reset the ring again the code will assume that the next to fill buffer is at position 0 and swap it with cnt - 1. Since we previously cleared position cnt - 1 it will lead to leaking the first buffer and leaving ring in a bad state. This scenario can only happen if FW communication fails, in which case the ring will never be used again, so the fact it's in a bad state will not be noticed. Buffer leak is the only problem. Don't try to move buffers in the ring if the read/write pointers indicate the ring was never used or have already been reset. nfp_net_clear_config_and_disable() is now fully idempotent. Found by code inspection, FW communication failures are very rare, and reconfiguring a live device is not common either, so it's unlikely anyone has ever noticed the leak. Signed-off-by:

Commit f599c64f ("xen-netfront: Fix race between device setup and open") changed the initialization order: xennet_create_queues() now happens before we do register_netdev() so using netdev->name in xennet_init_queue() is incorrect, we end up with the following in /proc/interrupts: 60: 139 0 xen-dyn -event eth%d-q0-tx 61: 265 0 xen-dyn -event eth%d-q0-rx 62: 234 0 xen-dyn -event eth%d-q1-tx 63: 1 0 xen-dyn -event eth%d-q1-rx and this looks ugly. Actually, using early netdev name (even when it's already set) is also not ideal: nowadays we tend to rename eth devices and queue name may end up not corresponding to the netdev name. Use nodename from xenbus device for queue naming: this can't change in VM's lifetime. Now /proc/interrupts looks like 62: 202 0 xen-dyn -event device/vif/0-q0-tx 63: 317 0 xen-dyn -event device/vif/0-q0-rx 64: 262 0 xen-dyn -event device/vif/0-q1-tx 65: 17 0 xen-dyn -event device/vif/0-q1-rx Fixes: f599c64f ("xen-netfront: Fix race between device setup and open") Signed-off-by:

Jason Wang says: ==================== TX used ring batched updating for vhost This series implement batch updating of used ring for TX. This help to reduce the cache contention on used ring. The idea is first split datacopy path from zerocopy, and do only batching for datacopy. This is because zercopy had already supported its own batching. TX PPS was increased 25.8% and Netperf TCP does not show obvious differences. The split of datapath will also be helpful for future implementation like in order completion. ==================== Acked-by:

"imply HWMON" was supposed to ensure that the SFP phy code can be built with HWMON enabled or disabled while at the same time ensuring that HWMON is not built as module if SFP is built into the kernel. Unfortunately, that does not work as intended. With "allmodconfig", it results in several unrelated HWMON drivers to be disabled instead of being built as module as expected. Let's use the old "depends on HWMON || HWMON=n" instead. This is slightly different (it enforces SFP to be built as module if HWMON is built as module), but it is better than the alternative of using "IS_REACHABLE()" in the driver since that would disable sensor support if HWMON is built as module and SFP is built into the kernel.
