Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-08-05 This series contains updates to i40e driver only. Dmitrii adds missing statistic counters for VEB and VEB TC's. Slawomir adds support for logging the "Disable Firmware LLDP" flag option and its current status. Jake fixes an issue where VF's being notified of their link status before their queues are enabled which was causing issues. So always report link status down when the VF queues are not enabled. Also adds future proofing when statistics are added or removed by adding checks to ensure the data pointer for the strings lines up with the expected statistics count. Czeslaw fixes the advertised mode reported in ethtool for FEC, where the "None BaseR RS" was always being displayed no matter what the mode it was in. Also added logging information when the PF is entering or leaving "allmulti" (or promiscuous) mode. Fixed up the logging logic for VF's when leaving multicast mode to not include unicast as well. v2: drop Aleksandr's patch (previously patch #2 in the series) to display the VF MAC address that is set by the VF while community feedback is addressed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

John Hurley says: ==================== Support tunnels over VLAN in NFP This patchset deals with tunnel encap and decap when the end-point IP address is on an internal port (for example and OvS VLAN port). Tunnel encap without VLAN is already supported in the NFP driver. This patchset extends that to include a push VLAN along with tunnel header push. Patches 1-4 extend the flow_offload IR API to include actions that use skbedit to set the ptype of an SKB and that send a packet to port ingress from the act_mirred module. Such actions are used in flower rules that forward tunnel packets to internal ports where they can be decapsulated. OvS and its TC API is an example of a user-space app that produces such rules. Patch 5 modifies the encap offload code to allow the pushing of a VLAN header after a tunnel header push. Patches 6-10 deal with tunnel decap when the end-point is on an internal port. They detect 'pre-tunnel rules' which do not deal with tunnels themselves but, rather, forward packets to internal ports where they can be decapped if required. Such rules are offloaded to a table in HW along with an indication of whether packets need to be passed to this table of not (based on their destination MAC address). Matching against this table prior to decapsulation in HW allows the correct parsing and handling of outer VLANs on tunnelled packets and the correct updating of stats for said 'pre-tunnel' rules. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When a tunnel packet arrives on the NFP card, its destination MAC is looked up and MAC index returned for it. This index can help verify the tunnel by, for example, ensuring that the packet arrived on the expected port. If the packet is destined for a known MAC that is not connected to a given physical port then the mac index can have a global value (e.g. when a series of bonded ports shared the same MAC). If the packet is to be detunneled at a bridge device or internal port like an Open vSwitch VLAN port, then it should first match a 'pre-tunnel' rule to direct it to that internal port. Use the MAC index to indicate if a packet should match a pre-tunnel rule before decap is allowed. Do this by tracking the number of internal ports associated with a MAC address and, if the number if >0, set a bit in the mac_index to forward the packet to the pre-tunnel table before continuing with decap.

MAC addresses along with an identifying index are offloaded to firmware to allow tunnel decapsulation. If a tunnel packet arrives with a matching destination MAC address and a verified index, it can continue on the decapsulation process. This replicates the MAC verifications carried out in the kernel network stack. When a netdev is added to a bridge (e.g. OvS) then packets arriving on that dev are directed through the bridge datapath instead of passing through the network stack. Therefore, tunnelled packets matching the MAC of that dev will not be decapped here. Replicate this behaviour on firmware by removing offloaded MAC addresses when a MAC representer is added to an OvS bridge. This can prevent any false positive tunnel decaps.

Pre-tunnel rules are TC flower and OvS rules that forward a packet to the tunnel end point where it can then pass through the network stack and be decapsulated. These are required if the tunnel end point is, say, an OvS internal port. Currently, firmware determines that a packet is in a tunnel and decaps it if it has a known destination IP and MAC address. However, this bypasses the flower pre-tunnel rule and so does not update the stats. Further to this it ignores VLANs that may exist outside of the tunnel header. Offload pre-tunnel rules to the NFP. This embeds the pre-tunnel rule into the tunnel decap process based on (firmware) mac index and VLAN. This means that decap can be carried out correctly with VLANs and that stats can be updated for all kernel rules correctly.

Pre-tunnel rules must direct packets to an internal port based on L2 information. Rules that egress to an internal port are already indicated by a non-NULL device in its nfp_fl_payload struct. Verfiy the rest of the match fields indicate that the rule is a pre-tunnel rule. This requires a full match on the destination MAC address, an option VLAN field, and no specific matches on other lower layer fields (with the exception of L4 proto and flags). If a rule is identified as a pre-tunnel rule then mark it for offload to the pre-tunnel table. Similarly, remove it from the pre-tunnel table on rule deletion. The actual offloading of these commands is left to a following patch.

Pre-tunnel rules are used when the tunnel end-point is on an 'internal port'. These rules are used to direct the tunnelled packets (based on outer header fields) to the internal port where they can be detunnelled. The rule must send the packet to ingress the internal port at the TC layer. Currently FW does not support an action to send to ingress so cannot offload such rules. However, in preparation for populating the pre-tunnel table to represent such rules, check for rules that send to the ingress of an internal port and mark them as such. Further validation of such rules is left to subsequent patches.

NFP allows the merging of 2 flows together into a single offloaded flow. In the kernel datapath the packet must match 1 flow, impliment its actions, recirculate, match the 2nd flow and also impliment its actions. Merging creates a single flow with all actions from the 2 original flows. Firmware impliments a tunnel header push as the packet is about to egress the card. Therefore, if the first merge rule candiate pushes a tunnel, then the second rule can only have an egress action for a valid merge to occur (or else the action ordering will be incorrect). This prevents the pushing of a tunnel header followed by the pushing of a vlan header. In order to support this behaviour, firmware allows VLAN information to be encoded in the tunnel push action. If this is non zero then the fw will push a VLAN after the tunnel header push meaning that 2 such flows with these actions can be merged (with action order being maintained). Support tunnel in VLAN pushes by encoding VLAN information in the tunnel push action of any merge flow requiring this.

It is almost impossible to get anything other than a 0 out of flow->dropped statistic with a tc class dump, as it resets to 0 on every round. It also conflates ecn marks with drops. It would have been useful had it kept a cumulative drop count, but it doesn't.

In the field fq_codel is often used with a smaller memory or packet limit than the default, and when the bulk dropper is hit, the drop pattern bifircates into one that more slowly increases the codel drop rate and hits the bulk dropper more than it should. The scan through the 1024 queues happens more often than it needs to. This patch increases the codel count in the bulk dropper, but does not change the drop rate there, relying on the next codel round to deliver the next packet at the original drop rate (after that burst of loss), then escalate to a higher signaling rate.

Merge the CPU port registers dump into the master interface registers dump through ethtool, by nesting the ethtool_drvinfo and ethtool_regs structures of the CPU port into the dump. drvinfo->regdump_len will contain the full data length, while regs->len will contain only the master interface registers dump length.

Commit d3d657a9 ("i40e: update VFs of link state after GET_VF_RESOURCES") modified the PF driver to notify a VF of its link status immediately after it requests resources. This was intended to fix reporting on VF drivers, so that they would properly report link status. However, some older VF drivers do not respond well to receiving a link up notification before queues are enabled. This can cause their state machine to think that it is safe to send traffic. This results in a Tx hang on the VF. More recent versions of the old i40evf and all versions of iavf are resilient to these early link status messages. However, if a VM happens to run an older version of the VF driver, this can be problematic. Record whether the PF has actually enabled queues for the VF. When reporting link status, always report link down if the queues aren't enabled. In this way, the VF driver will never receive a link up notification until after its queues are enabled.
