Yuchung Cheng says: ==================== tcp cwnd undo refactor This patch series consolidate similar cwnd undo functions implemented by various congestion control by using existing tcp socket state variable. The first patch fixes a corner case in of cwnd undo in Reno and HTCP. Since the bug has existed for many years and is very minor, we consider this patch set more suitable for net-next as the major change is the refactor itself. - v1->v2 Fix trivial compile errors ==================== Signed-off-by:David S.

Using ssthresh to revert cwnd is less reliable when ssthresh is bounded to 2 packets. This patch uses an existing variable in TCP "prior_cwnd" that snapshots the cwnd right before entering fast recovery and RTO recovery in Reno. This fixes the issue discussed in netdev thread: "A buggy behavior for Linux TCP Reno and HTCP" https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg444955.htmlSuggested-by:

When using Broadcom Systemport device in 32bit Platform, ifconfig can only report up to 4G tx,rx status, which will be wrapped to 0 when the number of incoming or outgoing packets exceeds 4G, only taking around 2 hours in busy network environment (such as streaming). Therefore, it makes hard for network diagnostic tool to get reliable statistical result, so the patch is used to add 64bit support for Broadcom Systemport device in 32bit Platform. This patch provides 64bit statistics capability on both ethtool and ifconfig. Signed-off-by:

There's supposed to be a one-to-one correspondence between the 18 macros that #define the OCT_DEV states (in octeon_device.h) and the strings in the oct_dev_state_str array, but there are only 14 strings in the array. Add the missing strings (so they become 18 in total), and also revise some incorrect/outdated text of existing strings. Signed-off-by:

Russell King says: ==================== phylink and sfp support This patch series introduces generic support for SFP sockets found on various Marvell based platforms. The idea here is to provide common SFP socket support which can be re-used by network drivers as appropriate, rather than each network driver having to re-implement SFP socket support. SFP sockets typically use other system resources, eg, I2C buses to read identifying information, and GPIOs to monitor socket state and control the socket. Meanwhile, some network drivers drive multiple ethernet ports from one instantiation of the driver. It is not desirable to block the initialisation of a network driver (thus denying other ports from being operational) if the resources for the SFP socket are not yet available. This means that an element of independence between the SFP support code and the driver is required. More than that, SFP modules effectively bring hotplug PHYs to networking - SFP copper modules normally contain a standard PHY accessed over the I2C bus, and it is desirable to read their state so network drivers can be appropriately configured. To add to the complexity, SFP modules can be connected in at least two places: 1. Directly to the serdes output of a MAC with no intervening PHY. For example: mvneta ----> SFP socket 2. To a PHY, for example: mvpp2 ---> PHY ---> copper | `-----> SFP socket This code supports both setups, although it's not fully implemented with scenario (2). Moreover, the link presented by the SFP module can be one of the 10Gbase-R family (for SFP+ sockets), SGMII or 1000base-X (for SFP sockets) depending on the module, and network drivers need to reconfigure themselves accordingly for the link to come up. For example, if the MAC is configured for SGMII and a fibre module is plugged in, the link won't come up until the MAC is reconfigured for 1000base-X mode. The SFP code manages the SFP socket - detecting the module, reading the identifying information, and managing the control and status signals. Importantly, it disables the SFP module transmitter when the MAC is down, so that the laser is turned off (but that is not a guarantee.) phylink provides the mechanisms necessary to manage the link modes, based on the SFP module type, and supports hot-plugging of the PHY without needing the MAC driver to be brought up and down on transitions. phylink also supports the classical static PHY and fixed-link modes. I currently (but not included in this series) have code to convert mvneta to use phylink, and the out of tree mvpp2x driver. I have nothing for the mvpp2 driver at present as that driver is only recently becoming functional on 10G hardware, and is missing a lot of features that are necessary to make things work correctly. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Add support for SFP hotpluggable modules via sfp-bus and phylink. This supports both copper and optical SFP modules, which require different Serdes modes in order to properly negotiate the link. Optical SFP modules typically require the Serdes link to be talking 1000BaseX mode - this is the gigabit ethernet mode defined by the 802.3 standard. Copper SFP modules typically integrate a PHY in the module to convert from Serdes to copper, and the PHY will be configured by the vendor to either present a 1000BaseX Serdes link (for fixed 1000BaseT) or a SGMII Serdes link. However, this is vendor defined, so we instead detect the PHY, switch the link to SGMII mode, and use traditional PHY based negotiation. Signed-off-by:

The link between the ethernet MAC and its PHY has become more complex as the interface evolves. This is especially true with serdes links, where the part of the PHY is effectively integrated into the MAC. Serdes links can be connected to a variety of devices, including SFF modules soldered down onto the board with the MAC, a SFP cage with a hotpluggable SFP module which may contain a PHY or directly modulate the serdes signals onto optical media with or without a PHY, or even a classical PHY connection. Moreover, the negotiation information on serdes links comes in two varieties - SGMII mode, where the PHY provides its speed/duplex/flow control information to the MAC, and 1000base-X mode where both ends exchange their abilities and each resolve the link capabilities. This means we need a more flexible means to support these arrangements, particularly with the hotpluggable nature of SFP, where the PHY can be attached or detached after the network device has been brought up. Ethtool information can come from multiple sources: - we may have a PHY operating in either SGMII or 1000base-X mode, in which case we take ethtool/mii data directly from the PHY. - we may have a optical SFP module without a PHY, with the MAC operating in 1000base-X mode - the ethtool/mii data needs to come from the MAC. - we may have a copper SFP module with a PHY whic can't be accessed, which means we need to take ethtool/mii data from the MAC. Phylink aims to solve this by providing an intermediary between the MAC and PHY, providing a safe way for PHYs to be hotplugged, and allowing a SFP driver to reconfigure the serdes connection. Phylink also takes over support of fixed link connections, where the speed/duplex/flow control are fixed, but link status may be controlled by a GPIO signal. By avoiding the fixed-phy implementation, phylink can provide a faster response to link events: fixed-phy has to wait for phylib to operate its state machine, which can take several seconds. In comparison, phylink takes milliseconds. Signed-off-by:

Add an I2C MDIO bus bridge library, to allow phylib to access PHYs which are connected to an I2C bus instead of the more conventional MDIO bus. Such PHYs can be found in SFP adapters and SFF modules. Since PHYs appear at I2C bus address 0x40..0x5f, and 0x50/0x51 are reserved for SFP EEPROMs/diagnostics, we must not allow the MDIO bus to access these I2C addresses. Signed-off-by:

phylink will need phy_start_machine exported, so lets export it as a GPL symbol. Documentation/networking/phy.txt indicates that this should be a PHY API function. Reviewed-by:

Russell King authored
Sometimes, we need to do additional work between the PHY coming up and marking the carrier present - for example, we may need to wait for the PHY to MAC link to finish negotiation. This changes phylib to provide a notification function pointer which avoids the built-in netif_carrier_on() and netif_carrier_off() functions. Standard ->adjust_link functionality is provided by hooking a helper into the new ->phy_link_change method. Reviewed-by:

phy_lookup_setting() provides useful functionality in ethtool code outside phylib. Move it to phy-core and allow it to be re-used (eg, in phylink) rather than duplicated elsewhere. Note that this supports the larger linkmode space. As we move the phy settings table, we also need to move the guts of phy_supported_speeds() as well. Signed-off-by:

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== IP: cleanup LSRR option processing The __ip_options_echo() function expect a valid dst entry in skb->dst; as result we sometimes need to preserve the dst entry for the whole IP RX path. The current usage of skb->dst looks more a relic from ancient past that a real functional constraint. This patchset tries to remove such usage, and than drops some hacks currently in place in the IP code to keep skb->dst around. __ip_options_echo() uses of skb->dst for two different purposes: retrieving the netns assicated with the skb, and modify the ingress packet LSRR address list. The first patch removes the code modifying the ingress packet, and the second one provides an explicit netns argument to __ip_options_echo(). The following patches cleanup the current code keeping arund skb->dst for __ip_options_echo's sake. Updating the __ip_options_echo() function has been previously discussed here: http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=150064533516348&w=2 ==================== Signed-off-by:

__ip_options_echo() uses the current network namespace, and currently retrives it via skb->dst->dev. This commit adds an explicit 'net' argument to __ip_options_echo() and update all the call sites to provide it, usually via a simpler sock_net(). After this change, __ip_options_echo() no more needs to access skb->dst and we can drop a couple of hack to preserve such info in the rx path. Signed-off-by:

While computing the response option set for LSRR, ip_options_echo() also changes the ingress packet LSRR addresses list, setting the last one to the dst specific address for the ingress packet - via memset(start[ ... The only visible effect of such change - beyond possibly damaging shared/cloned skbs - is modifying the data carried by ICMP replies changing the header information for reported the ingress packet, which violates RFC1122 3.2.2.6. All the others call sites just ignore the ingress packet IP options after calling ip_options_echo() Note that the last element in the LSRR option address list for the reply packet will be properly set later in the ip output path via ip_options_build(). This buggy memset() predates git history and apparently was present into the initial ip_options_echo() implementation in linux 1.3.30 but still looks wrong. The removal of the fib_compute_spec_dst() call will help completely dropping the skb->dst usage by __ip_options_echo() with a later patch. Signed-off-by:
