Each device address region can store multiple snapshots, each snapshot is identified using a different numerical ID. This ID is used when deleting a snapshot or showing an address region specific snapshot. This patch exposes a callback to add a new snapshot to an address region. The snapshot will be deleted using the destructor function when destroying a region or when a snapshot delete command from devlink user tool.

To restrict the driver with the snapshot ID selection a new callback is introduced for the driver to get the snapshot ID before creating a new snapshot. This will also allow giving the same ID for multiple snapshots taken of different regions on the same time.

This allows a device to register its supported address regions. Each address region can be accessed directly for example reading the snapshots taken of this address space. Drivers are not limited in the name selection for different regions. An example of a region-name can be: pci cr-space, register-space.

Maxime Chevallier says: ==================== net: mvpp2: add RSS support This series adds support for RSS on PPv2. There already was some code to handle the RSS tables, but the driver was missing all the classification steps required to actually use these tables. RSS is used through the classifier, using at least 2 lookups : - One using the C2 engine, a TCAM engine that match the packet based on some header extracted fields, assigns the default rx queue for that packet and tag it for RSS - One using the C3Hx engine, which computes the hash that's used to perform the lookup in the RSS table. Since RSS spreads the load across CPUs, we need to make sure that packets from the same flow are always assigned the same rx queue, to prevent re-ordering. This series therefore adds a classification step based on the Header Parser, that separate ingress traffic into 52 flows, based on some L2, L3 and L4 parameters. Patches 1 and 2 fix some header issues, from the driver splitting Patches 3 to 7 make sure the correct receive queue setup is used for RSS Patches 8 to 14 deal with the way we handle the RSS tables Patch 15 implement basic classifier configuration, by using it to assign the default receive queue Patch 16 implement the ingress traffic splitting into multiple flows Patch 17 adds RSS support, by using the needed classification steps Patch 18 adds the required ethtool ops to configure the flow hash parameters This was tested on MacchiatoBin, giving some nice performance improvements using ip forwarding (going from 5Gbps to 9.6Gbps total throughput). RSS is disabled by default. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This commit allows setting the RSS hash generation parameters from ethtool. When setting parameters for a given flow type from ethtool (e.g. tcp4), all the corresponding flows in the flow table are updated, according to the supported hash parameters. For example, when configuring TCP over IPv4 hash parameters to be src/dst IP + src/dst port ("ethtool -N eth0 rx-flow-hash tcp4 sdfn"), we only set the "src/dst port" hash parameters on the non-fragmented TCP over IPv4 flows.

One of the classification action that can be performed is to compute a hash of the packet header based on some header fields, and lookup a RSS table based on this hash to determine the final RxQ. This is done by adding one lookup entry per flow per port, so that we can configure the hash generation parameters for each flow and each port. There are 2 possible engines that can be used for RSS hash generation : - C3HA, that generates a hash based on up to 4 header-extracted fields - C3HB, that does the same as c3HA, but also includes L4 info in the hash There are a lot of fields that can be extracted from the header. For now, we only use the ones that we can configure using ethtool : - DST MAC address - L3 info - Source IP - Destination IP - Source port - Destination port The C3HB engine is selected when we use L4 fields (src/dst port).

The PPv2 classifier allows to perform classification operations on each ingress packet, based on the flow the packet is assigned to. The current code uses only 1 flow per port, and the only classification action consists of assigning the rx queue to the packet, depending on the port. In preparation for adding RSS support, we have to split all incoming traffic into different flows. Since RSS assigns a rx queue depending on the hash of some header fields, we have to make sure that the hash is generated in a consistent way for all packets in the same flow. What we call a "flow" is actually a set of attributes attached to a packet that depends on various L2/L3/L4 info. This patch introduces 52 flows, wich are a combination of various L2, L3 and L4 attributes : - Whether or not the packet has a VLAN tag - Whether the packet is IPv4, IPv6 or something else - Whether the packet is TCP, UDP or something else - Whether or not the packet is fragmented at L3 level. The flow is associated to a packet by the Header Parser. Each flow corresponds to an entry in the decoding table. This entry then points to the sequence of classification lookups to be performed by the classifier, represented in the flow table. For now, the only lookup we perform is a C2 lookup to set the default rx queue.

The PPv2 Controller has a classifier, that can perform multiple lookup operations for each packet, using different engines. One of these engines is the C2 engine, which performs TCAM based lookups on data extracted from the packet header. When a packet matches an entry, the engine sets various attributes, used to perform classification operations. One of these attributes is the rx queue in which the packet should be sent. The current code uses the lookup_id table (also called decoding table) to assign the rx queue. However, this only works if we use one entry per port in the decoding table, which won't be the case once we add RSS lookups. This patch uses the C2 engine to assign the rx queue to each packet. The C2 engine is used through the flow table, which dictates what classification operations are done for a given flow. Right now, we have one flow per port, which contains every ingress packet for this port. Signed-off-by: Maxime Chevallier <maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch adds an extra indirection when setting the indirection table into the RSS hardware table to improve the packets distribution across CPUs. For example, if 2 queues are used on a multi-core system this new indirection will choose two queues on two different CPUs instead of the two first queues which are on the same first CPU.

PPv2 Controller has 8 RSS Tables, of 32 entries each. A lookup in the RXQ2RSS_TABLE is performed for each incoming packet, and the RSS Table to be used is chosen according to the default rx queue that would be used for the packet. This default rx queue is set in the Lookup_id Table (also called Decoding Table), and is equal to the port->first_rxq. Since the Classifier itself isn't active at any time for the moment, this doesn't have a direct effect, the default rx queue at the moment is the one where all packets end-up into.

There is no RSS_TABLE register in PPv2 Controller. The register 0x1510 which was specified is actually named "RSS_HASH_SEL", but isn't used by this driver at all. Based on how this register was used, it should have been the RXQ2RSS_TABLE register, which allows to select the RSS table that will be used for the incoming packet. The RSS_TABLE_POINTER is actually a field of this RXQ2RSS_TABLE register. Since RSS tables are actually not used by the driver for now, this commit does not fix a runtime bug.

The number of receive queue per port is : - MVPP2_DEFAULT_RXQ if in single queue mode - MVPP2_DEFAULT_RXQ * num_possible_cpus if in multi queue mode with MVPP2_DEFAULT_RXQ = 4. However, we don't use the extra rx queues at the moment, we really only need one per port per CPU, until some more advanced classification rules are implemented.

Following crash occurs in validate_xmit_skb_list() when same skb is iterated multiple times in the loop and consume_skb() is called. The root cause is calling list_del_init(&skb->list) and not clearing skb->next in d4546c25. list_del_init(&skb->list) sets skb->next to point to skb itself. skb->next needs to be cleared because other parts of network stack uses another kind of SKB lists. validate_xmit_skb_list() uses such list. A similar type of bugfix was reported by Jesper Dangaard Brouer. https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/942541/ This patch clears skb->next and changes list_del_init() to list_del() so that list->prev will maintain the list poison.

Changing a device's address lists (or its promisc mode) already triggers an RX modeset, there's no need to do it manually from the L2 driver's ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid() hook. Also when setting a device online, dev_open() already calls dev_set_rx_mode(). So a manual modeset is only necessary from the recovery path.

Except for tracing, the pointer is not used. At the same time, accessing it from qeth_qdio_output_handler() is racy: whenever qeth_qdio_cq_handler() gets control, its call to qeth_qdio_handle_aob() frees the AOB. So the AOB pointer that qeth_qdio_output_handler() stores into 'buffer' can go stale at any time, and trigger a use-after-free.

In commit 5fa12739 ("net: ipv4: listify ip_rcv_finish") calling dst_input(skb) was split-out. The ip_sublist_rcv_finish() just calls dst_input(skb) in a loop. The problem is that ip_sublist_rcv_finish() forgot to remove the SKB from the list before invoking dst_input(). Further more we need to clear skb->next as other parts of the network stack use another kind of SKB lists for xmit_more (see dev_hard_start_xmit). A crash occurs if e.g. dst_input() invoke ip_forward(), which calls dst_output()/ip_output() that eventually calls __dev_queue_xmit() + sch_direct_xmit(), and a crash occurs in validate_xmit_skb_list(). This patch only fixes the crash, but there is a huge potential for a performance boost if we can pass an SKB-list through to ip_forward.

getnstimeofday64 is deprecated in favor of the ktime_get() family of functions. The direct replacement would be ktime_get_real_ts64(), but I'm picking the basic ktime_get() instead: - using a ktime_t simplifies the code compared to timespec64 - using monotonic time instead of real time avoids issues caused by a concurrent settimeofday() or during a leap second adjustment.

Davide Caratti says: ==================== net/sched: act_skbedit: lockless data path the data path of act_skbedit can be faster if we avoid using spinlocks: - patch 1 converts act_skbedit statistics to use per-cpu counters - patch 2 lets act_skbedit use RCU to read/update its configuration test procedure (using pktgen from https://github.com/netoptimizer): # ip link add name eth1 type dummy # ip link set dev eth1 up # tc qdisc add dev eth1 clsact # tc filter add dev eth1 egress matchall action skbedit priority c1a0:c1a0 # for c in 1 2 4 ; do > ./pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -v -s 64 -t $c -n 5000000 -i eth1 > done test results (avg. pps/thread) $c | before patch | after patch | improvement ----+--------------+--------------+------------ 1 | 3917464 ± 3% | 4000458 ± 3% | irrelevant 2 | 3455367 ± 4% | 3953076 ± 1% | +14% 4 | 2496594 ± 2% | 3801123 ± 3% | +52% v2: rebased on latest net-next ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
