      net: filter: fix length calculation in BPF testsuite · e9d94504
      Chema Gonzalez authored
      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).

      ====================
      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.

      The buffers for the TSO headers belong to a DMA coherent region which is

      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.

      Currently small MSS values may require too many TSO descriptors for

      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.

      ====================
      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

      net: cdc_ncm: allow tuning min_tx_pkt · 39eb7e0e
      Bjørn Mork authored
      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.

      net: cdc_ncm: export NCM Transfer Block (NTB) parameters · 871578c9
      Bjørn Mork authored
      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.

      net: cdc_ncm: use sysfs for rx/tx aggregation tuning · 289507d3
      Bjørn Mork authored
      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

      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.

      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.  This includes updates to at76c50x-usb, ath9k, b43,
      brcmfmac, mwifiex, rsi, rtlwifi, and wil6210.

      inetpeer: get rid of ip_id_count · 73f156a6
      Eric Dumazet authored
      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.

      Merge branch 'netdevsync' · c7bfbe51

      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.

      enic: Update driver to use __dev_uc/mc_sync/unsync calls · f009618a
      Alexander Duyck authored
      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.
