IPv4 output routes already use l3mdev device instead of loopback for dst's if it is applicable. Change local input routes to do the same. This fixes icmp responses for unreachable UDP ports which are directed to the wrong table after commit 9d1a6c4e because local_input routes use the loopback device. Moving from ingress device to loopback loses the L3 domain causing responses based on the dst to get to lost.

Demoting simple flow steering rule priority (for DPDK) was achieved by wrapping FW commands MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH for the PF as well, and forcing the priority to MLX4_DOMAIN_NIC in the wrapper function for the PF and all VFs. In function mlx4_ib_create_flow(), this change caused the main rule creation for the PF to be wrapped, while it left the associated tunnel steering rule creation unwrapped for the PF. This mismatch caused rule deletion failures in mlx4_ib_destroy_flow() for the PF when the detach wrapper function did not find the associated tunnel-steering rule (since creation of that rule for the PF did not go through the wrapper function). Fix this by setting MLX4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_ATTACH/DETACH to be "native" (so that the PF invocation does not go through the wrapper), and perform the required priority demotion for the PF in the mlx4_ib_create_flow() code path.

is_power_of_2 expects unsigned long and we pass u64 max_val_cycles, this will be truncated on 32 bit systems, and the result is not what we were expecting. div_u64 expects u32 as a second argument and we pass max_val_cycles_rounded which is u64 hence it will always be truncated.

mlx4_QP_FLOW_STEERING_DETACH_wrapper first removes the steering rule (which results in freeing the rule structure), and then references a field in this struct (the qp number) when releasing the busy-status on the rule's qp. Since this memory was freed, it could reallocated and changed. Therefore, the qp number in the struct may be incorrect, so that we are releasing the incorrect qp. This leaves the rule's qp in the busy state (and could possibly release an incorrect qp as well). Fix this by saving the qp number in a local variable, for use after removing the steering rule.

However, the packet should be considered as if it is being arrived via the sending interface (eth0), otherwise it would break the expectation of the userspace application (e.g. the DHCPRELEASE message from dhcp_release binary would be ignored by the dnsmasq daemon, since it come from lo which is not the interface dnsmasq bind to) Fixes: 0b922b7a ("net: original ingress device index in PKTINFO") Acked-by: David Ahern <dsa@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Wei Zhang <asuka.com@163.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

ipv6: Should use consistent conditional judgement for ip6 fragment between __ip6_append_data and ip6_finish_output There is an inconsistent conditional judgement between __ip6_append_data and ip6_finish_output functions, the variable length in __ip6_append_data just include the length of application's payload and udp6 header, don't include the length of ipv6 header, but in ip6_finish_output use (skb->len > ip6_skb_dst_mtu(skb)) as judgement, and skb->len include the length of ipv6 header. That causes some particular application's udp6 payloads whose length are between (MTU - IPv6 Header) and MTU were fragmented by ip6_fragment even though the rst->dev support UFO feature. Add the length of ipv6 header to length in __ip6_append_data to keep consistent conditional judgement as ip6_finish_output for ip6 fragment.

Under the switchdev/offloads mode, packets that don't match any e-switch steering rule are sent towards the e-switch management port. We use a NIC HW steering rule set per vport (uplink and VFs) to make them be received into the host OS through the respective vport representor netdevice. Currnetly such missed RoCE packets will not get to this NIC steering rule, and hence VF RoCE will not work over the slow path of the offloads mode. This is b/c these packets will be matched by a steering rule added by the firmware that serves RoCE traffic set on the PF NIC vport which is also the e-switch management port under SRIOV. Disabling RoCE on the e-switch management vport when we are in the offloads mode, will signal to the firmware to remove their RoCE rule, and then the missed RoCE packets will be matched by the representor NIC steering rule as any other missed packets. To achieve that, we disable RoCE on the PF vport. We do that by removing (hot-unplugging) the IB device instance associated with the PF. This is also required by our current model where the PF serves as the uplink representor and hence only SW switching (TC, bridge, OVS) applications and slow path vport mlx5e net-device should be running over that vport.

Pull networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Various ipvlan fixes from Eric Dumazet and Mahesh Bandewar. The most important is to not assume the packet is RX just because the destination address matches that of the device. Such an assumption causes problems when an interface is put into loopback mode. 2) If we retry when creating a new tc entry (because we dropped the RTNL mutex in order to load a module, for example) we end up with -EAGAIN and then loop trying to replay the request. But we didn't reset some state when looping back to the top like this, and if another thread meanwhile inserted the same tc entry we were trying to, we re-link it creating an enless loop in the tc chain. Fix from Daniel Borkmann. 3) There are two different WRITE bits in the MDIO address register for the stmmac chip, depending upon the chip variant. Due to a bug we could set them both, fix from Hock Leong Kweh. 4) Fix mlx4 bug in XDP_TX handling, from Tariq Toukan. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: net: stmmac: fix incorrect bit set in gmac4 mdio addr register r8169: add support for RTL8168 series add-on card. net: xdp: remove unused bfp_warn_invalid_xdp_buffer() openvswitch: upcall: Fix vlan handling. ipv4: Namespaceify tcp_tw_reuse knob net: korina: Fix NAPI versus resources freeing net, sched: fix soft lockup in tc_classify net/mlx4_en: Fix user prio field in XDP forward tipc: don't send FIN message from connectionless socket ipvlan: fix multicast processing ipvlan: fix various issues in ipvlan_process_multicast()

Networking stack accelerate vlan tag handling by keeping topmost vlan header in skb. This works as long as packet remains in OVS datapath. But during OVS upcall vlan header is pushed on to the packet. When such packet is sent back to OVS datapath, core networking stack might not handle it correctly. Following patch avoids this issue by accelerating the vlan tag during flow key extract. This simplifies datapath by bringing uniform packet processing for packets from all code paths.

Shahar reported a soft lockup in tc_classify(), where we run into an endless loop when walking the classifier chain due to tp->next == tp which is a state we should never run into. The issue only seems to trigger under load in the tc control path. What happens is that in tc_ctl_tfilter(), thread A allocates a new tp, initializes it, sets tp_created to 1, and calls into tp->ops->change() with it. In that classifier callback we had to unlock/lock the rtnl mutex and returned with -EAGAIN. One reason why we need to drop there is, for example, that we need to request an action module to be loaded. This happens via tcf_exts_validate() -> tcf_action_init/_1() meaning after we loaded and found the requested action, we need to redo the whole request so we don't race against others. While we had to unlock rtnl in that time, thread B's request was processed next on that CPU. Thread B added a new tp instance successfully to the classifier chain. When thread A returned grabbing the rtnl mutex again, propagating -EAGAIN and destroying its tp instance which never got linked, we goto replay and redo A's request. This time when walking the classifier chain in tc_ctl_tfilter() for checking for existing tp instances we had a priority match and found the tp instance that was created and linked by thread B. Now calling again into tp->ops->change() with that tp was successful and returned without error. tp_created was never cleared in the second round, thus kernel thinks that we need to link it into the classifier chain (once again). tp and *back point to the same object due to the match we had earlier on. Thus for thread B's already public tp, we reset tp->next to tp itself and link it into the chain, which eventually causes the mentioned endless loop in tc_classify() once a packet hits the data path. Fix is to clear tp_created at the beginning of each request, also when we replay it. On the paths that can cause -EAGAIN we already destroy the original tp instance we had and on replay we really need to start from scratch. It seems that this issue was first introduced in commit 12186be7 ("net_cls: fix unconfigured struct tcf_proto keeps chaining and avoid kernel panic when we use cls_cgroup").
