When ADQ queue groups (TCs) are created via tc mqprio command, RSS contexts and associated RSS indirection tables are configured automatically per TC based on the queue ranges specified for each traffic class. For ex: tc qdisc add dev enp175s0f0 root mqprio num_tc 3 map 0 1 2 \ queues 2@0 8@2 4@10 hw 1 mode channel will create 3 queue groups (TC 0-2) with queue ranges 2, 8 and 4 in 3 queue groups. Each queue group is associated with its own RSS context and RSS indirection table. Add support to expose RSS indirection tables for all ADQ queue groups using ethtool RSS contexts interface. ethtool -x enp175s0f0 context <tc-num> Signed-off-by:

The pointer check usually results in a 'false positive': its likely that the ctnetlink module is loaded but no event monitoring is enabled. After recent change to autodetect ctnetlink usage and only allocate the ecache extension if a listener is active, check if the extension is present on a given conntrack. If its not there, there is nothing to report and calls to the notification framework can be elided. Signed-off-by:

This adds the new nf_conntrack_events=2 mode and makes it the default. This leverages the earlier flag in struct net to allow to avoid the event extension as long as no event listener is active in the namespace. This avoids, for most cases, allocation of ct->ext area. A followup patch will take further advantage of this by avoiding calls down into the event framework if the extension isn't present. Signed-off-by:

Only called when new ct is allocated or the extension isn't present. This function will be extended, place this in the conntrack module instead of inlining. The callers already depend on nf_conntrack module. Return value is changed to bool, noone used the returned pointer. Make sure that the core drops the newly allocated conntrack if the extension is requested but can't be added. This makes it necessary to ifdef the section, as the stub always returns false we'd drop every new conntrack if the the ecache extension is disabled in kconfig. Add from data path (xt_CT, nft_ct) is unchanged. Signed-off-by:

Florian Westphal authored
At this time, every new conntrack gets the 'event cache extension' enabled for it. This is because the 'net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_events' sysctl defaults to 1. Changing the default to 0 means that commands that rely on the event notification extension, e.g. 'conntrack -E' or conntrackd, stop working. We COULD detect if there is a listener by means of 'nfnetlink_has_listeners()' and only add the extension if this is true. The downside is a dependency from conntrack module to nfnetlink module. This adds a different way: inc/dec a counter whenever a ctnetlink group is being (un)subscribed and toggle a flag in struct net. Next patches will take advantage of this and will only add the event extension if the flag is set. Signed-off-by:

Florian Westphal authored
Multiple netfilter extensions store pointers to external data in their extension area struct. Examples: 1. Timeout policies 2. Connection tracking helpers. No references are taken for these. When a helper or timeout policy is removed, the conntrack table gets traversed and affected extensions are cleared. Conntrack entries not yet in the hashtable are referenced via a special list, the unconfirmed list. On removal of a policy or connection tracking helper, the unconfirmed list gets traversed an all entries are marked as dying, this prevents them from getting committed to the table at insertion time: core checks for dying bit, if set, the conntrack entry gets destroyed at confirm time. The disadvantage is that each new conntrack has to be added to the percpu unconfirmed list, and each insertion needs to remove it from this list. The list is only ever needed when a policy or helper is removed -- a rare occurrence. Add a generation ID count: Instead of adding to the list and then traversing that list on policy/helper removal, increment a counter that is stored in the extension area. For unconfirmed conntracks, the extension has the genid valid at ct allocation time. Removal of a helper/policy etc. increments the counter. At confirmation time, validate that ext->genid == global_id. If the stored number is not the same, do not allow the conntrack insertion, just like as if a confirmed-list traversal would have flagged the entry as dying. After insertion, the genid is no longer relevant (conntrack entries are now reachable via the conntrack table iterators and is set to 0. This allows removal of the percpu unconfirmed list.

This helper tags connections not yet in the conntrack table as dying. These nf_conn entries will be dropped instead when the core attempts to insert them from the input or postrouting 'confirm' hook. After the previous change, the entries get unlinked from the list earlier, so that by the time the actual exit hook runs, new connections no longer have a timeout policy assigned. Its enough to walk the hashtable instead. Signed-off-by:

Florian Westphal authored
Make it so netns pre_exit unlinks the objects from the pernet list, so they cannot be found anymore. netns core issues a synchronize_rcu() before calling the exit hooks so any the time the exit hooks run unconfirmed nf_conn entries have been free'd or they have been committed to the hashtable. The exit hook still tags unconfirmed entries as dying, this can now be removed in a followup change. Signed-off-by:

Its no longer needed. Entries that need event redelivery are placed on the new pernet dying list. The advantage is that there is no need to take additional spinlock on conntrack removal unless event redelivery failed or the conntrack entry was never added to the table in the first place (confirmed bit not set). The IPS_CONFIRMED bit now needs to be set as soon as the entry has been unlinked from the unconfirmed list, else the destroy function may attempt to unlink it a second time. Signed-off-by:

This disentangles event redelivery and the percpu dying list. Because entries are now stored on a dedicated list, all entries are in NFCT_ECACHE_DESTROY_FAIL state and all entries still have confirmed bit set -- the reference count is at least 1. The 'struct net' back-pointer can be removed as well. The pcpu dying list will be removed eventually, it has no functionality. Signed-off-by:

This driver was using the TX IRQ handler to perform all TX completion tasks. Under heavy TX network load, this can cause significant irqs-off latencies (found to be in the hundreds of microseconds using ftrace). This can cause other issues, such as overrunning serial UART FIFOs when using high baud rates with limited UART FIFO sizes. Switch to using a NAPI poll handler to perform the TX completion work to get this out of hard IRQ context and avoid the IRQ latency impact. A separate poll handler is used for TX and RX since they have separate IRQs on this controller, so that the completion work for each of them stays on the same CPU as the interrupt. Testing on a Xilinx MPSoC ZU9EG platform using iperf3 from a Linux PC through a switch at 1G link speed showed no significant change in TX or RX throughput, with approximately 941 Mbps before and after. Hard IRQ time in the TX throughput test was significantly reduced from 12% to below 1% on the CPU handling TX interrupts, with total hard+soft IRQ CPU usage dropping from about 56% down to 48%.

The axienet_start_xmit function was updating the tx_bd_tail variable multiple times, with potential rollbacks on error or invalid intermediate positions, even though this variable is also used in the TX completion path. Use READ_ONCE where this variable is read and WRITE_ONCE where it is written to make this update more atomic, and move the write before the MMIO write to start the transfer, so it is protected by that implicit write barrier.

If reading the Interrupt Source Flag register fails with -ENODEV, then the PHY has been hot-removed and the correct response is to bail out instead of throwing a WARN splat and attempting to suspend the PHY.

Link status of SMSC LAN95xx chips is polled once per second, even though they're capable of signaling PHY interrupts through the MAC layer. Forward those interrupts to the PHY driver to avoid polling. Benefits are reduced bus traffic, reduced CPU overhead and quicker interface bringup. Polling was introduced in 2016 by commit d69d1694 ("usbnet: smsc95xx: fix link detection for disabled autonegotiation"). Back then, the LAN95xx driver neglected to enable the ENERGYON interrupt, hence couldn't detect link-up events when auto-negotiation was disabled. The proper solution would have been to enable the ENERGYON interrupt instead of polling. Since then, PHY handling was moved from the LAN95xx driver to the SMSC PHY driver with commit 05b35e7e ("smsc95xx: add phylib support"). That PHY driver is capable of link detection with auto-negotiation disabled because it enables the ENERGYON interrupt. Note that signaling interrupts through the MAC layer not only works with the integrated PHY, but also with an external PHY, provided its interrupt pin is attached to LAN95xx's nPHY_INT pin. In the unlikely event that the interrupt pin of an external PHY is attached to a GPIO of the SoC (or not connected at all), the driver can be amended to retrieve the irq from the PHY's of_node. To forward PHY interrupts to phylib, it is not sufficient to call phy_mac_interrupt(). Instead, the PHY's interrupt handler needs to run so that PHY interrupts are cleared. That's because according to page 119 of the LAN950x datasheet, "The source of this interrupt is a level. The interrupt persists until it is cleared in the PHY." https://www.microchip.com/content/dam/mchp/documents/UNG/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/LAN950x-Data-Sheet-DS00001875D.pdf Therefore, create an IRQ domain with a single IRQ for the PHY. In the future, the IRQ domain may be extended to support the 11 GPIOs on the LAN95xx. Normally the PHY interrupt should be masked until the PHY driver has cleared it. However masking requires a (sleeping) USB transaction and interrupts are received in (non-sleepable) softirq context. I decided not to mask the interrupt at all (by using the dummy_irq_chip's noop ->irq_mask() callback): The USB interrupt endpoint is polled in 1 msec intervals and normally that's sufficient to wake the PHY driver's IRQ thread and have it clear the interrupt. If it does take longer, worst thing that can happen is the IRQ thread is woken again. No big deal. Because PHY interrupts are now perpetually enabled, there's no need to selectively enable them on suspend. So remove all invocations of smsc95xx_enable_phy_wakeup_interrupts(). In smsc95xx_resume(), move the call of phy_init_hw() before usbnet_resume() (which restarts the status URB) to ensure that the PHY is fully initialized when an interrupt is handled.

When a PHY interrupt is signaled, the SMSC LAN95xx driver updates the MAC full duplex mode and PHY flow control registers based on cached data in struct phy_device: smsc95xx_status() # raises EVENT_LINK_RESET usbnet_deferred_kevent() smsc95xx_link_reset() # uses cached data in phydev Simultaneously, phylib polls link status once per second and updates that cached data: phy_state_machine() phy_check_link_status() phy_read_status() lan87xx_read_status() genphy_read_status() # updates cached data in phydev If smsc95xx_link_reset() wins the race against genphy_read_status(), the registers may be updated based on stale data. E.g. if the link was previously down, phydev->duplex is set to DUPLEX_UNKNOWN and that's what smsc95xx_link_reset() will use, even though genphy_read_status() may update it to DUPLEX_FULL afterwards. PHY interrupts are currently only enabled on suspend to trigger wakeup, so the impact of the race is limited, but we're about to enable them perpetually. Avoid the race by delaying execution of smsc95xx_link_reset() until phy_state_machine() has done its job and calls back via smsc95xx_handle_link_change(). Signaling EVENT_LINK_RESET on wakeup is not necessary because phylib picks up link status changes through polling. So drop the declaration of a ->link_reset() callback. Note that the semicolon on a line by itself added in smsc95xx_status() is a placeholder for a function call which will be added in a subsequent commit. That function call will actually handle the INT_ENP_PHY_INT_ interrupt.

smsc95xx_reset() resets the PHY behind the PHY driver's back, which seems like a bad idea generally. Remove that portion of the function. We're about to use PHY interrupts instead of polling to detect link changes on SMSC LAN95xx chips. Because smsc95xx_reset() is called from usbnet_open(), PHY interrupt settings are lost whenever the net_device is brought up. There are two other callers of smsc95xx_reset(), namely smsc95xx_bind() and smsc95xx_reset_resume(), and both may indeed benefit from a PHY reset. However they already perform one through their calls to phy_connect_direct() and phy_init_hw().

Upon receiving data from the Interrupt Endpoint, the SMSC LAN95xx driver attempts to clear the signaled interrupts by writing "all ones" to the Interrupt Status Register. However the driver only ever enables a single type of interrupt, namely the PHY Interrupt. And according to page 119 of the LAN950x datasheet, its bit in the Interrupt Status Register is read-only. There's no other way to clear it than in a separate PHY register: https://www.microchip.com/content/dam/mchp/documents/UNG/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/LAN950x-Data-Sheet-DS00001875D.pdf Consequently, writing "all ones" to the Interrupt Status Register is pointless and can be dropped.

Commit 2c9d6c2b ("usbnet: run unbind() before unregister_netdev()") sought to fix a use-after-free on disconnect of USB Ethernet adapters. It turns out that a different fix is necessary to address the issue: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/18b3541e5372bc9b9fc733d422f4e698c089077c.1650177997.git.lukas@wunner.de/ So the commit was not necessary. The commit made binding and unbinding of USB Ethernet asymmetrical: Before, usbnet_probe() first invoked the ->bind() callback and then register_netdev(). usbnet_disconnect() mirrored that by first invoking unregister_netdev() and then ->unbind(). Since the commit, the order in usbnet_disconnect() is reversed and no longer mirrors usbnet_probe(). One consequence is that a PHY disconnected (and stopped) in ->unbind() is afterwards stopped once more by unregister_netdev() as it closes the netdev before unregistering. That necessitates a contortion in ->stop() because the PHY may only be stopped if it hasn't already been disconnected. Reverting the commit allows making the call to phy_stop() unconditional in ->stop().
