By default, DSA and CPU ports are configured to the maximum speed the switch supports. However there can be use cases where the peer devices port is slower. Allow a fixed-link property to be used with the DSA and CPU port in the device tree, and use this information to configure the port.

Set the supported field of the phydev to indicate the speed features of the phy. If the phy is never attached to a netdev, but used in an adjust_link() function, the speed will be incorrectly evaluated to 10/half rather than the correct speed/duplex.

The current code sets user ports to perform auto negotiation using the phy. CPU and DSA ports are configured to full duplex and maximum speed the switch supports. There are however use cases where the CPU has a slower port, and when user ports have SFP modules with fixed speed. In these cases, port settings to be read from a fixed_phy devices. The switch driver then needs to implement the adjust_link op, so the port settings can be set.

Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module, switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc implementations looking like this: - using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware - pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not need to monitor this link since it should be always up.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== tcp: receive-side per route dctcp handling Original cover letter: Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should: - responder has f.e. cubic as system wide default - 'ip route congctl dctcp $src' was set Then, DCTCP is NOT used if a DCTCP sender attempts to connect from a host in the $src range: ECT(0) is set, but listen_sk is not dctcp, so we fail the INET_ECN_is_not_ect sanity check. We also have to examine the dst used for the SYN/ACK reply to make this case work. In order to minimize additional cost, store the 'ecn is must have' information is the dst_features field. The set targets -next instead of -net since this doesn't seem to be a serious bug and to give the change more soak time until it hits linus tree. v1 -> v2: - Addressed Dave's feedback, not exposing any bits to user space - Added patch 3 to reject incorrect configurations - Rest as is, rebased and retested ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should: A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok, and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes. We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0) is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request(). Joint work with Florian Westphal.

IGMP reports for local multicast groups can now be optionally inhibited by setting the value to zero e.g.: echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/igmp_link_local_mcast_reports To retain backwards compatibility the previous behaviour is retained by default on system boot or reverted by setting the value back to non-zero.

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame (ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are VALID frames. To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames to find VALID frames at poll() like netlink_alloc_skb(), netlink_forward_ring() finding an UNUSED frame at skb allocation.

Support for setting VF's corresponding BGX LMAC in internal loopback mode. This mode can be used for verifying basic HW functionality such as packet I/O, RX checksum validation, CQ/RBDR interrupts, stats e.t.c. Useful when DUT has no external network connectivity. 'loopback' mode can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.

This patch adds support for handling multiple qsets assigned to a single VF. There by increasing no of queues from earlier 8 to max no of CPUs in the system i.e 48 queues on a single node and 96 on dual node system. User doesn't have option to assign which Qsets/VFs to be merged. Upon request from VF, PF assigns next free Qsets as secondary qsets. To maintain current behavior no of queues is kept to 8 by default which can be increased via ethtool. If user wants to unbind NICVF driver from a secondary Qset then it should be done after tearing down primary VF's interface.

This patch configures HW to strip 802.1Q header if found in a receiving packet. The stripped VLAN ID and TCI information is passed on to software via CQE_RX. Also sets netdev's 'vlan_features' so that other HW offload features can be used for tagged packets. This offload feature can be enabled or disabled via ethtool. Network stack normally ignores RPS for 802.1Q packets and hence low throughput. With this offload enabled throughput for tagged packets will be almost same as normal packets. Note: This patch doesn't enable HW VLAN insertion for transmit packets.

Raghavendra K T says: ==================== Optimize the snmp stat aggregation for large cpus While creating 1000 containers, perf is showing lot of time spent in snmp_fold_field on a large cpu system. The current patch tries to improve by reordering the statistics gathering. Please note that similar overhead was also reported while creating veth pairs https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/19/556 Changes in V4: - remove 'item' variable and use IPSTATS_MIB_MAX to avoid sparse warning (Eric) also remove 'item' parameter (Joe) - add missing memset of padding. Changes in V3: - use memset to initialize temp buffer in leaf function. (David) - use memcpy to copy the buffer data to stat instead of unalign_pu (Joe) - Move buffer definition to leaf function __snmp6_fill_stats64() (Eric) - Changes in V2: - Allocate the stat calculation buffer in stack.

Jiri Benc says: ==================== tunnels: fix incorrect IPv4/v6 headers interpretation With tunneling, it is currently possible to get an IPv6 header and interpret it as an IPv4 header, or to interpret an IPv6 address as an IPv4 address (and vice versa). This leads to things like sending packets to incorrect address, IPv6 flow label being interpreted as IP packet length, etc. Fix several places where this can happen. Most of this is net-next only. The third patch affects net, too, but it doesn't seem there's anything in user space that sets the attribute at all currently, thus net-next is fine.
