In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly. Since the callback is called from both a timer and a tasklet, adjust the tasklet to pass the timer address too. When tasklets have their .data field removed, this can be refactored to call a central function after resolving the correct container_of() for a separate callback function for timer and tasklet.

Vivien Didelot says: ==================== net: dsa: master and slave helpers This patch series adds a few helpers to DSA core for clarity and readability but brings no functional changes. A dsa_slave_notify helper calls the DSA notifiers when (un)registering a slave device. Most of the DSA slave code only needs to access the dsa_port structure, not the dsa_slave_priv (which only contains a few PHY-specific members). Thus a dsa_slave_to_port helper returns a dsa_port structure of a slave device. A dsa_slave_to_master returns the master device of a slave device. After that the netdev member of the dsa_port structure is split into two explicit master and slave members to avoid confusion, and a dsa_to_port helper is added for switch drivers to get a const reference to a port. Changes in v2: - prefer dsa_slave_to_master instead of dsa_slave_get_master - rename dsa_master_get_slave to dsa_master_find_slave - pack master and slave net devices into an anonymous union - add dsa_to_port public helper for switch drivers - add Reviewed-by tags from Florian ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The dsa_port structure is part of DSA core data and must only be updated by the later. It is OK and sometimes necessary for the DSA drivers to access this data, but this has to be read only. For that purpose, add a dsa_to_port() helper which returns a const pointer to a dsa_port structure which must be used by DSA drivers from now on instead of digging into ds->ports[] themselves.

The dsa_port structure has a "netdev" member, which can be used for either the master device, or the slave device, depending on its type. It is true that today, CPU port are not exposed to userspace, thus the port's netdev member can be used to point to its master interface. But it is still slightly confusing, so split it into more explicit "master" and "slave" members inside an anonymous union.

When netlink_ack() reports an allocation error to the sending socket, there's no need to look up the sending socket since it's available in the SKB's CB. Use that instead of going to the trouble of looking it up. Note that the pointer is only available since Eric Biederman's commit 3fbc2905 ("netlink: Make the sending netlink socket availabe in NETLINK_CB") which is far newer than the original lookup code (Oct 2003) (though the field was called 'ssk' in that commit and only got renamed to 'sk' later, I'd actually argue 'ssk' was better - or perhaps it should've been 'source_sk' - since there are so many different 'sk's involved.)

Jesper Dangaard Brouer says: ==================== net: New bpf cpumap type for XDP_REDIRECT Introducing a new way to redirect XDP frames. Notice how no driver changes are necessary given the design of XDP_REDIRECT. This redirect map type is called 'cpumap', as it allows redirection XDP frames to remote CPUs. The remote CPU will do the SKB allocation and start the network stack invocation on that CPU. This is a scalability and isolation mechanism, that allow separating the early driver network XDP layer, from the rest of the netstack, and assigning dedicated CPUs for this stage. The sysadm control/configure the RX-CPU to NIC-RX queue (as usual) via procfs smp_affinity and how many queues are configured via ethtool --set-channels. Benchmarks show that a single CPU can handle approx 11Mpps. Thus, only assigning two NIC RX-queues (and two CPUs) is sufficient for handling 10Gbit/s wirespeed smallest packet 14.88Mpps. Reducing the number of queues have the advantage that more packets being "bulk" available per hard interrupt[1]. [1] https://www.netdevconf.org/2.1/papers/BusyPollingNextGen.pdf Use-cases: 1. End-host based pre-filtering for DDoS mitigation. This is fast enough to allow software to see and filter all packets wirespeed. Thus, no packets getting silently dropped by hardware. 2. Given NIC HW unevenly distributes packets across RX queue, this mechanism can be used for redistribution load across CPUs. This usually happens when HW is unaware of a new protocol. This resembles RPS (Receive Packet Steering), just faster, but with more responsibility placed on the BPF program for correct steering. 3. Auto-scaling or power saving via only activating the appropriate number of remote CPUs for handling the current load. The cpumap tracepoints can function as a feedback loop for this purpose. In V7, a --stress-mode was implemented for the samples program, which between each stats update, adds + removes CPUs from the map concurrently with traffic. I did find and fix some concurrency issues in the tear-down path, details in patch desc. The stress test have now been running for 15 hours without any issues, while being bombarded with 11.6 Mpps via pktgen_sample04_many_flows.sh.

This sample program show how to use cpumap and the associated tracepoints. It provides command line stats, which shows how the XDP-RX process, cpumap-enqueue and cpumap kthread dequeue is cooperating on a per CPU basis. It also utilize the xdp_exception and xdp_redirect_err transpoints to allow users quickly to identify setup issues. One issue with ixgbe driver is that the driver reset the link when loading XDP. This reset the procfs smp_affinity settings. Thus, after loading the program, these must be reconfigured. The easiest workaround it to reduce the RX-queue to e.g. two via: # ethtool --set-channels ixgbe1 combined 2 And then add CPUs above 0 and 1, like: # xdp_redirect_cpu --dev ixgbe1 --prog 2 --cpu 2 --cpu 3 --cpu 4 Another issue with ixgbe is that the page recycle mechanism is tied to the RX-ring size. And the default setting of 512 elements is too small. This is the same issue with regular devmap XDP_REDIRECT. To overcome this I've been using 1024 rx-ring size: # ethtool -G ixgbe1 rx 1024 tx 1024 V3: - whitespace cleanups - bpf tracepoint cannot access top part of struct V4: - report on kthread sched events, according to tracepoint change - report average bulk enqueue size V5: - bpf_map_lookup_elem on cpumap not allowed from bpf_prog use separate map to mark CPUs not available V6: - correct kthread sched summary output V7: - Added a --stress-mode for concurrently changing underlying cpumap Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This adds two tracepoint to the cpumap. One for the enqueue side trace_xdp_cpumap_enqueue() and one for the kthread dequeue side trace_xdp_cpumap_kthread(). To mitigate the tracepoint overhead, these are invoked during the enqueue/dequeue bulking phases, thus amortizing the cost. The obvious use-cases are for debugging and monitoring. The non-intuitive use-case is using these as a feedback loop to know the system load. One can imagine auto-scaling by reducing, adding or activating more worker CPUs on demand.

This patch makes cpumap functional, by adding SKB allocation and invoking the network stack on the dequeuing CPU. For constructing the SKB on the remote CPU, the xdp_buff in converted into a struct xdp_pkt, and it mapped into the top headroom of the packet, to avoid allocating separate mem. For now, struct xdp_pkt is just a cpumap internal data structure, with info carried between enqueue to dequeue. If a driver doesn't have enough headroom it is simply dropped, with return code -EOVERFLOW. This will be picked up the xdp tracepoint infrastructure, to allow users to catch this. V2: take into account xdp->data_meta V4: - Drop busypoll tricks, keeping it more simple. - Skip RPS and Generic-XDP-recursive-reinjection, suggested by Alexei V5: correct RCU read protection around __netif_receive_skb_core.

This patch connects cpumap to the xdp_do_redirect_map infrastructure. Still no SKB allocation are done yet. The XDP frames are transferred to the other CPU, but they are simply refcnt decremented on the remote CPU. This served as a good benchmark for measuring the overhead of remote refcnt decrement. If driver page recycle cache is not efficient then this, exposes a bottleneck in the page allocator. A shout-out to MST's ptr_ring, which is the secret behind is being so efficient to transfer memory pointers between CPUs, without constantly bouncing cache-lines between CPUs. V3: Handle !CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL pointed out by kbuild test robot. V4: Make Generic-XDP aware of cpumap type, but don't allow redirect yet, as implementation require a separate upstream discussion. V5: - Fix a maybe-uninitialized pointed out by kbuild test robot. - Restrict bpf-prog side access to cpumap, open when use-cases appear - Implement cpu_map_enqueue() as a more simple void pointer enqueue V6: - Allow cpumap type for usage in helper bpf_redirect_map, general bpf-prog side restriction moved to earlier patch.

The 'cpumap' is primarily used as a backend map for XDP BPF helper call bpf_redirect_map() and XDP_REDIRECT action, like 'devmap'. This patch implement the main part of the map. It is not connected to the XDP redirect system yet, and no SKB allocation are done yet. The main concern in this patch is to ensure the datapath can run without any locking. This adds complexity to the setup and tear-down procedure, which assumptions are extra carefully documented in the code comments.

According to the ASPEED datasheet, gigabit speeds require a clock of 100MHz or higher. Other speeds require 25MHz or higher. This patch configures a 100MHz clock if the system has a direct-attached PHY, or 25MHz if the system is running NC-SI which is limited to 100MHz. There appear to be no other upstream users of the FTGMAC100 driver it is hard to know the clocking requirements of other platforms. Therefore a conservative approach was taken with enabling clocks. If the platform is not ASPEED, both requesting the clock and configuring the speed is skipped.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== mlxsw: GRE: Offload decap without encap Petr says: The current code doesn't offload GRE decapsulation unless there's a corresponding encapsulation route as well. While not strictly incorrect (when encap route is absent, the decap route traps traffic to CPU and the kernel handles it), it's a missed optimization opportunity. With this patchset, IPIP entries are created as soon as offloadable tunneling netdevice is created. This then leads to offloading of decap route, if one exists, or is added afterwards, even when no encap route is present. In Linux, when there is a decap route, matching IP-in-IP packets are always decapsulated. However, with IPv4 overlays in particular, whether the inner packet is then forwarded depends on setting of net.ipv4.conf.*.rp_filter. When RP filtering is turned on, inner packets aren't forwarded unless there's a matching encap route. The mlxsw driver doesn't reflect this behavior in other router interfaces, and thus it's not implemented for tunnel types either. A better support for this will be subject of follow-up work. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Formerly, IPIP entries were created lazily by next hops that referenced an offloadable IP-in-IP netdevice. However now that they are created eagerly as a reaction to events on such netdevices, the reference counting is useless. Hence drop it. The routes whose next hops reference an offloaded IP-in-IP netdevice actually linger around a bit after their device is unregistered. However, mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_destroy() also destroys the backing loopback, and mlxsw_sp_rif_destroy() transitively (via mlxsw_sp_nexthop_rif_gone_sync()) calls mlxsw_sp_nexthop_ipip_fini(), which unlinks the IPIP entry from a next hop. Thus no dangling pointers are left behind for the brief window after netdevice is gone, but routes not yet.

IPIP entries are created as soon as an offloadable device is created. That means that when such a device is later moved to a different VRF, the loopback device that backs the tunnel is wrong.

Current code for offloading IP-in-IP tunneling assumes that there is no decap without encap. But that's never true for IPv6 overlays, and is not true for IPv4 ones either, if net.ipv4.conf.*.rp_filter is unset. To support decap-only tunnels, an IPIP entry is now created as soon as an offloadable tunneling device is created. When that netdevice is up'd, a decap route is looked up and possibly offloaded. Thus decap is not handled implicitly as part of mlxsw_sp_ipip_entry_get() call anymore, but needs to be done explicitly after the get, if desired.

So far, all netdevice notifications that the driver cared about were related to its own ports, and mlxsw_sp could be retrieved from the netdevice's private data. For IP-in-IP offloading however, the driver cares about events on foreign netdevices, and getting at mlxsw_sp or router data structures from the handler is inconvenient. Therefore move the netdevice notifier blocks from global scope to struct mlxsw_sp to allow retrieval from the notifier block pointer itself.
