Users should be able to query the current configuration of drop monitor before they start using it. Add a command to query the existing configuration which currently consists of alert mode and packet truncation length. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

When sending dropped packets to user space it is not always necessary to copy the entire packet as usually only the headers are of interest. Allow user to specify the truncation length and add the original length of the packet as additional metadata to the netlink message. By default no truncation is performed.

So far drop monitor supported only one alert mode in which a summary of locations in which packets were recently dropped was sent to user space. This alert mode is sufficient in order to understand that packets were dropped, but lacks information to perform a more detailed analysis. Add a new alert mode in which the dropped packet itself is passed to user space along with metadata: The drop location (as program counter and resolved symbol), ingress netdevice and drop timestamp. More metadata can be added in the future. To avoid performing expensive operations in the context in which kfree_skb() is invoked (can be hard IRQ), the dropped skb is cloned and queued on per-CPU skb drop list. Then, in process context the netlink message is allocated, prepared and finally sent to user space. The per-CPU skb drop list is limited to 1000 skbs to prevent exhausting the system's memory. Subsequent patches will make this limit configurable and also add a counter that indicates how many skbs were tail dropped. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

The next patch is going to add another alert mode in which the dropped packet is notified to user space, instead of only a summary of recent drops. Abstract the differences between the modes by adding alert mode operations. The operations are selected based on the currently configured mode and associated with the probes and the work item just before tracing starts.

Currently, the configure command does not do anything but return an error. Subsequent patches will enable the command to change various configuration options such as alert mode and packet truncation. Similar to other netlink-based configuration channels, make sure only users with the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability set can execute this command.

The function reset_per_cpu_data() allocates and prepares a new skb for the summary netlink alert message ('NET_DM_CMD_ALERT'). The new skb is stored in the per-CPU 'data' variable and the old is returned. The function is invoked during module initialization and from the workqueue, before an alert is sent. This means that it is possible to receive an alert with stale data, if we stopped tracing when the hysteresis timer ('data->send_timer') was pending. Instead of invoking the function during module initialization, invoke it just before we start tracing and ensure we get a fresh skb. This also allows us to remove the calls to initialize the timer and the work item from the module initialization path, since both could have been triggered by the error paths of reset_per_cpu_data().

The timer and work item are currently initialized once during module init, but subsequent patches will need to associate different functions with the work item, based on the configured alert mode. Allow subsequent patches to make that change by initializing and de-initializing these objects during tracing enable and disable. This also guarantees that once the request to disable tracing returns, no more netlink notifications will be generated. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Greg Kroah-Hartman says: ==================== Networking driver debugfs cleanups There is no need to test the result of any debugfs call anymore. The debugfs core warns the user if something fails, and the return value of a debugfs call can always be fed back into another debugfs call with no problems. Also, debugfs is for debugging, so if there are problems with debugfs (i.e. the system is out of memory) the rest of the kernel should not change behavior, so testing for debugfs calls is pointless and not the goal of debugfs at all. This series cleans up a lot of networking drivers and some wimax code that was calling debugfs and trying to do something with the return value that it didn't need to. Removing this logic makes the code smaller, easier to understand, and use less run-time memory in some cases, all good things. The series is against net-next, and have no dependancies between any of them if they want to go through any random tree/order. Or, if wanted, I can take them through my driver-core tree where other debugfs cleanups are being slowly fed during major merge windows. v3: fix build warning in i2400m, I thought I had caught them all :( add acks from some reviewers v2: fix up build warnings, it's as if I never even built these. Ugh, so sorry for wasting people's time with the v1 series. I need to stop relying on 0-day as it isn't working well anymore :( ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2019-08-09 This series includes update to mlx5 ethernet and core driver: In first #11 patches, Vlad submits part 2 of 3 part series to allow TC flow handling for concurrent execution. 1) TC flow handling for concurrent execution (part 2) Vald Says: ========== Refactor data structures that are shared between flows in tc. Currently, all cls API hardware offloads driver callbacks require caller to hold rtnl lock when calling them. Cls API has already been updated to update software filters in parallel (on classifiers that support unlocked execution), however hardware offloads code still obtains rtnl lock before calling driver tc callbacks. This set implements support for unlocked execution of tc hairpin, mod_hdr and encap subsystem. The changed implemented in these subsystems are very similar in general. The main difference is that hairpin is accessed through mlx5e_tc_table (legacy mode), mod_hdr is accessed through both mlx5e_tc_table and mlx5_esw_offload (legacy and switchdev modes) and encap is only accessed through mlx5_esw_offload (switchdev mode). 1.1) Hairpin handling and structure mlx5e_hairpin_entry refactored in following way: - Hairpin structure is extended with atomic reference counter. This approach allows to lookup of hairpin entry and obtain reference to it with hairpin_tbl_lock protection and then continue using the entry unlocked (including provisioning to hardware). - To support unlocked provisioning of hairpin entry to hardware, the entry is extended with 'res_ready' completion and is inserted to hairpin_tbl before calling the firmware. With this approach any concurrent users that attempt to use the same hairpin entry wait for completion first to prevent access to entries that are not fully initialized. - Hairpin entry is extended with new flows_lock spinlock to protect the list when multiple concurrent tc instances update flows attached to the same hairpin entry. 1.2) Modify header handling code and structure mlx5e_mod_hdr_entry are refactored in the following way: - Mod_hdr structure is extended with atomic reference counter. This approach allows to lookup of mod_hdr entry and obtain reference to it with mod_hdr_tbl_lock protection and then continue using the entry unlocked (including provisioning to hardware). - To support unlocked provisioning of mod_hdr entry to hardware, the entry is extended with 'res_ready' completion and is inserted to mod_hdr_tbl before calling the firmware. With this approach any concurrent users that attempt to use the same mod_hdr entry wait for completion first to prevent access to entries that are not fully initialized. - Mod_Hdr entry is extended with new flows_lock spinlock to protect the list when multiple concurrent tc instances update flows attached to the same mod_hdr entry. 1.3) Encapsulation handling code and Structure mlx5e_encap_entry are refactored in the following way: - encap structure is extended with atomic reference counter. This approach allows to lookup of encap entry and obtain reference to it with encap_tbl_lock protection and then continue using the entry unlocked (including provisioning to hardware). - To support unlocked provisioning of encap entry to hardware, the entry is extended with 'res_ready' completion and is inserted to encap_tbl before calling the firmware. With this approach any concurrent users that attempt to use the same encap entry wait for completion first to prevent access to entries that are not fully initialized. - As a difference from approach used to refactor hairpin and mod_hdr, encap entry is not extended with any per-entry fine-grained lock. Instead, encap_table_lock is used to synchronize all operations on encap table and instances of mlx5e_encap_entry. This is necessary because single flow can be attached to multiple encap entries simultaneously. During new flow creation or neigh update event all of encaps that flow is attached to must be accessed together as in atomic manner, which makes usage of per-entry lock infeasible. - Encap entry is extended with new flows_lock spinlock to protect the list when multiple concurrent tc instances update flows attached to the same encap entry. ========== 3) Parav improves the way port representors report their parent ID and port index. 4) Use refcount_t for refcount in vxlan data base from Chuhong Yuan ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
