      Introduce devlink infrastructure · bfcd3a46
      Jiri Pirko authored
      Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to
      userspace via generic Netlink interface.
      
      There are two basic objects defined:
      devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC
      devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device.
      
      This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace.
      Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented.

      ====================
      tc software only
      
      This adds a software only flag to tc but incorporates a bunch of comments
      from the original attempt at this.
      
      First instead of having the offload decision logic be embedded in cls_u32
      I lifted into cls_pkt.h so it can be used anywhere and named the flag
      TCA_CLS_FLAGS_SKIP_HW (Thanks Jiri ;)
      
      In order to do this I put the flag defines in pkt_cls.h as well. However
      it was suggested that perhaps these flags could be lifted into the
      upper layer of TCA_ as well but I'm afraid this can not be done with
      existing tc design as far as I can tell. The problem is the filters are
      packed and unpacked in the classifier specific code and pushing the flags
      through the high level doesn't seem easily doable. And we already have
      this design where classifiers handle generic options such as actions and
      policers. So I think adding one more thing here is OK as 'tc', et. al.
      already know how to handle this type of thing.

      net: sched: cls_u32 add bit to specify software only rules · 9e8ce79c
      John Fastabend authored
      In the initial implementation the only way to stop a rule from being
      inserted into the hardware table was via the device feature flag.
      However this doesn't work well when working on an end host system
      where packets are expect to hit both the hardware and software
      datapaths.
      
      For example we can imagine a rule that will match an IP address and
      increment a field. If we install this rule in both hardware and
      software we may increment the field twice. To date we have only
      added support for the drop action so we have been able to ignore
      these cases. But as we extend the action support we will hit this
      example plus more such cases. Arguably these are not even corner
      cases in many working systems these cases will be common.
      
      To avoid forcing the driver to always abort (i.e. the above example)
      this patch adds a flag to add a rule in software only. A careful
      user can use this flag to build software and hardware datapaths
      that work together. One example we have found particularly useful
      is to use hardware resources to set the skb->mark on the skb when
      the match may be expensive to run in software but a mark lookup
      in a hash table is cheap. The idea here is hardware can do in one
      lookup what the u32 classifier may need to traverse multiple lists
      and hash tables to compute. The flag is only passed down on inserts.
      On deletion to avoid stale references in hardware we always try
      to remove a rule if it exists.
      
      The flags field is part of the classifier specific options. Although
      it is tempting to lift this into the generic structure doing this
      proves difficult do to how the tc netlink attributes are implemented
      along with how the dump/change routines are called. There is also
      precedence for putting seemingly generic pieces in the specific
      classifier options such as TCA_U32_POLICE, TCA_U32_ACT, etc. So
      although not ideal I've left FLAGS in the u32 options as well as it
      simplifies the code greatly and user space has already learned how
      to manage these bits ala 'tc' tool.
      
      Another thing if trying to update a rule we require the flags to
      be unchanged. This is to force user space, software u32 and
      the hardware u32 to keep in sync. Thanks to Simon Horman for
      catching this case.

      net: cls_u32: move TC offload feature bit into cls_u32 offload logic · 2b6ab0d3
      John Fastabend authored
      In the original series drivers would get offload requests for cls_u32
      rules even if the feature bit is disabled. This meant the driver had
      to do a boiler plate check on the feature bit before adding/deleting
      the rule.
      
      This patch lifts the check into the core code and removes it from the
      driver specific case.

      net: sched: consolidate offload decision in cls_u32 · 6843e7a2
      John Fastabend authored
      The offload decision was originally very basic and tied to if the dev
      implemented the appropriate ndo op hook. The next step is to allow
      the user to more flexibly define if any paticular rule should be
      offloaded or not. In order to have this logic in one function lift
      the current check into a helper routine tc_should_offload().

      Paolo Abeni says:
      
      ====================
      bridge/ovs: avoid skb head copy on frame forwarding
      
      Currently, while when an OVS or Linux bridge is used to forward frames towards
      some tunnel device, a skb_head_copy() may occur if the ingress device do not
      provide enough headroom for the tx encapsulation.
      
      This patch series tries to address the issue implementing a new ndo operation to
      allow the master device to control the headroom used when allocating the skb on
      frame reception.
      
      Said operation is used by the Linux bridge to notify the bridged ports of
      needed_headroom changes, and similar bookkeeping and behaviour is also added to
      openvswitch, on a per datapath basis.
      
      Finally, the operation is implemented for veth and tun device, which give
      performance improvement in the 6-12% range when forwarding frames from said
      devices towards a vxlan tunnel.
      
      v2:
      - fix netdev_get_fwd_headroom() behaviour
      - remove some code duplication with the netdev_set_rx_headroom() and
         netdev_reset_rx_headroom() helpers
      - handle headroom reset on [v]port removal/deletion
      - initialize tun align to the old default value
      
      v3:
      - fix a comment typo

      veth: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom · 163e5292
      Paolo Abeni authored
      The rx headroom for veth dev is the peer device needed_headroom.
      Avoid ping-pong updates setting the private flag IFF_PHONY_HEADROOM.
      
      This avoids skb head reallocation when forwarding from a veth dev
      towards a device adding some kind of encapsulation.
      
      When transmitting frames below the MTU size towards a vxlan device,
      this gives about 10% performance speed-up when OVS is used to connect
      the veth and the vxlan device and a little more when using a
      plain Linux bridge.

      net/tun: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom · eaea34b2
      Paolo Abeni authored
      ndo_set_rx_headroom controls the align value used by tun devices to
      allocate skbs on frame reception.
      When the xmit device adds a large encapsulation, this avoids an skb
      head reallocation on forwarding.
      
      The measured improvement when forwarding towards a vxlan dev with
      frame size below the egress device MTU is as follow:
      
      vxlan over ipv6, bridged: +6%
      vxlan over ipv6, ovs: +7%
      
      In case of ipv4 tunnels there is no improvement, since the tun
      device default alignment provides enough headroom to avoid the skb
      head reallocation.

      2. The MAC address is zero.  The VF will use a random MAC address by default.
      By storing this 0 MAC address in the VF structure, it will allow the VF
      user to change the MAC address later using ndo_set_mac_address() when
      it sees that the stored MAC address is 0.

      1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-02-24
      
      This series contains updates to e1000e, igb and igbvf.
      
      Raanan provides updates for e1000e, first increases the ULP timer since it
      now takes longer for the ULP exit to complete on Skylake.  Fixes the
      configuration of the internal hardware PHY clock gating mechanism, which was
      causing packet loss due to mis configuring.  Fixed additional ULP
      configuration settings which were not being properly cleared after cable
      connect in V-Pro capable systems.  Added support for more i219 devices.
      
      Takuma Ueba provides a fix for I210 where IPv6 autoconf test sometimes
      fails due to DAD NS for link-local is not transmitted.  To avoid this
      issue, we need to wait until 1000BASE-T status register "Remote receiver
      status OK".
      
      Todd provides a patch to override EEPROM WoL settings for specific OEM
      devices. Then renamed igb defines to be more generic, since the define
      E1000_MRQC_ENABLE_RSS_4Q enables 4 and 8 queues depending on the part.
      
      Roland Hii fixes an issue where only the half cycle time of less than or
      equal to 70 millisecond uses the I210 clock output function.  His patch
      adds additional conditions when half cycle time is equal to 125 or 250 or
      500 millisecond to use the clock output function.
      
      Alex Duyck adds support for generic transmit checksums for igb and igbvf.
      
      Jon Maxwell fixes an issues where customer applications are registering
      and un-registering multicast addresses every few seconds which is leading
      to many "Link is up" messages in the logs as a result of the
      netif_carrier_off(netdev) in igbvf_msix_other().  So remove the
      link is up message when registering multicast addresses.
      
      Corinna Vinschen provides a fix for when switching off VLAN offloading on
      i350, the VLAN interface becomes unusable.
      
      Stefan Assmann updates the driver to use ndo_stop() instead of
      dev_close() when running ethtool offline self test.  Since dev_close()
      causes IFF_UP to be cleared which will remove the interfaces routes
      and some addresses.
      
      v2: Dropped patches 6-10 in the original series.  Patch 6-7 added support
          for character device for AVB and based on community feedback, we do not
          want to do this.  Patches 8-10 provided fixes to the problematic code
          added in patches 6 & 7.  So all of them must go!

      GSO: Provide software checksum of tunneled UDP fragmentation offload · 22463876
      Alexander Duyck authored
      On reviewing the code I realized that GRE and UDP tunnels could cause a
      kernel panic if we used GSO to segment a large UDP frame that was sent
      through the tunnel with an outer checksum and hardware offloads were not
      available.
      
      In order to correct this we need to update the feature flags that are
      passed to the skb_segment function so that in the event of UDP
      fragmentation being requested for the inner header the segmentation
      function will correctly generate the checksum for the payload if we cannot
      segment the outer header.

      net: l3mdev: Fix source address for unnumbered deployments
      
      David Lamparter noted a use case where the source address selection fails
      to pick an address from a VRF interface - unnumbered interfaces. The use
      case has the VRF device as the VRF local loopback with addresses and
      interfaces enslaved without an address themselves. e.g,
      
          ip addr add 9.9.9.9/32 dev lo
          ip link set lo up
      
          ip link add name vrf0 type vrf table 101
          ip rule add oif vrf0 table 101
          ip rule add iif vrf0 table 101
          ip link set vrf0 up
          ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev vrf0
      
          ip link add name dummy2 type dummy
          ip link set dummy2 master vrf0 up
      
          --> note dummy2 has no address - unnumbered device
      
          ip route add 10.2.2.2/32 dev dummy2 table 101
          ip neigh add 10.2.2.2 dev dummy2 lladdr 02:00:00:00:00:02
      
      ping to the 10.2.2.2 through the L3 domain:
      
          $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
          ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf0.
          PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 9.9.9.9 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
      
      picks up the wrong address -- the one from 'lo' not vrf0. And from tcpdump:
          12:57:29.449128 IP 9.9.9.9 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2491, seq 1, length 64
      
      This patch series changes address selection to only consider devices in
      the same L3 domain and to use the VRF device as the L3 domains loopback.
      
          $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2
          PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 10.0.0.3 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data.
      
      From tcpdump:
          12:59:25.096426 IP 10.0.0.3 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2113, seq 1, length 64
      
      Now the source address comes from vrf0.
