Ben Hutchings says: ==================== Pull request: Fixes for new ethtool RSS commands This addresses several problems I previously identified with the new ETHTOOL_{G,S}RSSH commands: 1. Missing validation of reserved parameters 2. Vague documentation 3. Use of unnamed magic number 4. No consolidation with existing driver operations I don't currently have access to suitable network hardware, but have tested these changes with a dummy driver that can support various combinations of operations and sizes, together with (a) Debian's ethtool 3.13 (b) ethtool 3.14 with the submitted patch to use ETHTOOL_{G,S}RSSH and minor adjustment for fixes 1 and 3. v2: Update RSS operations in vmxnet3 too ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

(This patch was previously posted as RFC at http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/352677/) This patch adds NDA_MASTER attribute to neighbour attributes enum for bridge/master ifindex. And adds NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs. Today bridge fdb notifications dont contain bridge information. Userspace can derive it from the port information in the fdb notification. However this is tricky in some scenarious. Example, bridge port delete notification comes before bridge fdb delete notifications. And we have seen problems in userspace when using libnl where, the bridge fdb delete notification handling code does not understand which bridge this fdb entry is part of because the bridge and port association has already been deleted. And these notifications (port membership and fdb) are generated on separate rtnl groups. Fixing the order of notifications could possibly solve the problem for some cases (I can submit a separate patch for that). This patch chooses to add NDA_MASTER to bridge fdb notify msgs because it not only solves the problem described above, but also helps userspace avoid another lookup into link msgs to derive the master index.

The current probe_filter_length() (the function that calculates the length of a test BPF filter) behavior is to declare the end of the filter as soon as it finds {0, *, *, 0}. This is actually a valid insn ("ld #0"), so any filter with includes "BPF_STMT(BPF_LD | BPF_IMM, 0)" fails (its length is cut short). We are changing probe_filter_length() so as to start from the end, and declare the end of the filter as the first instruction which is not {0, *, *, 0}. This solution produces a simpler patch than the alternative of using an explicit end-of-filter mark. It is technically incorrect if your filter ends up with "ld #0", but that should not happen anyway. We also add a new test (LD_IMM_0) that includes ld #0 (does not work without this patch).

Ezequiel Garcia says: ==================== ethernet: marvell: After-TSO fixes This patchset consists of different fixes and improvements in the mvneta and mv643xx_eth drivers. The most important change is the one that allows to support small MSS values (see patches 2 and 6). This is done following the Solarflare driver (see commit 7e6d06f0). While doing this some other fixes were spotted and so they are included. Finally, notice that the TSO support introduced a wrong DMA unmapping of the TSO header buffers, so patches 4 and 8 provide a couple patches to fix that in the drivers. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The buffers for the TSO headers belong to a DMA coherent region which is allocated at ndo_open() time, and released at ndo_stop() time. Therefore, and contrary to the TSO payload descriptor buffers, the TSO header buffers don't need to be unmapped. This commit adds a check to detect a TSO header buffer and explicitly prevent the unmap. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently small MSS values may require too many TSO descriptors for the default queue size. This commit prevents this situation by fixing the maximum supported TSO number of segments to 100 and by setting a minimum Tx queue size. The minimum Tx queue size is set so that at least 2 worst-case skb can be accommodated. In addition, the queue stop and wake thresholds values are adjusted accordingly. The queue is stopped when there's room for only 1 worst-case skb and waked when the number of descriptors is half that value.

The Tx descriptor release code currently calls dma_unmap_single() and dev_kfree_skb_any() if the descriptor is associated with a non-NULL skb. This is true only for the last fragment of the packet. This is wrong, however, since every descriptor buffer is DMA mapped and needs to be unmapped. Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Bjørn Mork says: ==================== cdc_ncm: fixes and conversion to sysfs API After considering the comments received after the ethtool coalesce support was commited, I have ended up concluding that we should remove it again, while we can, before it hits a release. The idea was not well enough thought through, and all comments received pointed to advantages of using a sysfs based API instead. This series removes the ethtool coalesce support and replaces it with sysfs attributes in a driver specific group under the netdev. The first 3 patches are unrelated fixes: patch 1: reducing truesize as discussed patch 2: fixing a potentional buffer overrun when changing tx_max patch 3: prevent framing errors when changing rx_max Changes v2: - minor editorial changes to patch 8, as suggested by Peter Stuge ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB. There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best for a specific device. The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed along with any tx_max changes.

The mandatory GetNtbParameters control request is an important part of the host <-> device protocol negotiation in CDC NCM (and CDC MBIM). It gives device limits which the host must obey when configuring the protocol aggregation variables. The driver will enforce this by rejecting attempts to set any of the tunable variables to a value which is not supported by the device. Exporting the parameter block helps userspace decide which values are allowed without resorting to trial and error. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

The ethtool coalesce API is not applicable for this driver. Forcing it to fit the NCM aggregation redefined the API in a driver specific way, which is much worse than defining a clean new API. These ethtool coalesce functions have therefore been replaced by a new sysfs API. Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Attach a driver specific sysfs group to the netdev, and use it for the rx/tx aggregation variables. The datagram aggregation defined by the CDC NCM specification is specific to this device class (including CDC MBIM). Using the ethtool interrupt coalesce API as an interface to the aggregation parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing way. A sysfs group - makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and - allows us to export the real values instead of some translated version, and - lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible to force into the ethtool API. Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down. We have to keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using max sized transfers. If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs. The driver does not support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors. Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value changes.

We are calling usbnet_start_xmit() to flush any remaining data, depending on the side effect that tx_curr_skb is set to NULL, ensuring a new allocation using the updated tx_max. But this side effect will only happen if there were any cached data ready to transmit. If not, then an empty tx_curr_skb is still allocated using the old tx_max size. Free it to avoid a buffer overrun. Fixes: 68864abf ("net: cdc_ncm: support rx_max/tx_max updates when running") Signed-off-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no> Signed-off-by: David S.

For the nfc bits, Samuel says: "We have: - Felica (Type3) tags support for trf7970a - Type 4b tags support for port100 - st21nfca DTS typo fix - A few sparse warning fixes" For the atheros bits, Kalle says: "Ben added support for setting antenna configurations. Michal improved warm reset so that we would not need to fall back to cold reset that often, an issue where ath10k stripped protected flag while in monitor mode and made module initialisation asynchronous to fix the problems with firmware loading when the driver is linked to the kernel. Luca removed unused channel_switch_beacon callbacks both from ath9k and ath10k. Marek fixed Protected Management Frames (PMF) when using Action Frames. Also we had other small fixes everywhere in the driver." Along with that, there are a handful of updates to a variety of drivers.

Ideally, we would need to generate IP ID using a per destination IP generator. linux kernels used inet_peer cache for this purpose, but this had a huge cost on servers disabling MTU discovery. 1) each inet_peer struct consumes 192 bytes 2) inetpeer cache uses a binary tree of inet_peer structs, with a nominal size of ~66000 elements under load. 3) lookups in this tree are hitting a lot of cache lines, as tree depth is about 20. 4) If server deals with many tcp flows, we have a high probability of not finding the inet_peer, allocating a fresh one, inserting it in the tree with same initial ip_id_count, (cf secure_ip_id()) 5) We garbage collect inet_peer aggressively. IP ID generation do not have to be 'perfect' Goal is trying to avoid duplicates in a short period of time, so that reassembly units have a chance to complete reassembly of fragments belonging to one message before receiving other fragments with a recycled ID. We simply use an array of generators, and a Jenkin hash using the dst IP as a key. ipv6_select_ident() is put back into net/ipv6/ip6_output.c where it belongs (it is only used from this file) secure_ip_id() and secure_ipv6_id() no longer are needed. Rename ip_select_ident_more() to ip_select_ident_segs() to avoid unnecessary decrement/increment of the number of segments. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Alexander Duyck says: ==================== Provide common means for device address sync The following series implements a means for synchronizing both unicast and multicast addresses on a device interface. The code is based on the original implementation of dev_uc_sync that was available for syncing a VLAN to the lower dev. The original reason for coming up for this patch is a driver that is still in the early stages of development. The nearest driver I could find that appeared to have the same limitations as the driver I was working on was the Cisco enic driver. For this reason I chose it as the first driver to make use of this interface publicly. However, I do not have a Cisco enic interface so I have only been able to compile test any changes made to the driver. I tried to keep this change as simple as possible to avoid any issues. Any help with testing would be greatly appreciated. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This change updates the enic driver to make use of __dev_uc_sync and __dev_mc_sync calls. Previously the driver was doing its own list management by storing the mc_addr and uc_addr list in a 32 address array. With this change the sync data is stored in the netdev_addr_list structures and instead we just track how many addresses we have written to the device. When we encounter 32 we stop and print a message as occurred previously with the old approach. Other than the core change the only other bit needed was to propagate the constant attribute with the MAC address as there were several spots where is twas only passed as a u8 * instead of a const u8 *. This patch is meant to maintain the original functionality without the use of the mc_addr and uc_addr arrays.
