Remove the function pointers documentation which duplicates information found in include/linux/phy.h. Maintaining documentation about two different locations just does not work, but the code is less likely to be outdated.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox 100G mlx5 DCBX and ethtool updates This series provides the following mlx5 updates: From Huy: DCBX CEE API and DCBX firmware/host modes support. - 1st patch ensures the dcbnl_rtnl_ops is published only when the qos capability bits is on. - 2nd patch adds the support for CEE interfaces into mlx5 dcbnl_rtnl_ops - 3rd patch refactors ETS query to read ETS configuration directly from firmware rather than having a software shadow to it. The existing IEEE interfaces stays the same. - 4th patch adds the support for MLX5_REG_DCBX_PARAM and MLX5_REG_DCBX_APP firmware commands to manipulate mlx5 DCBX mode. - 5th patch adds the driver support for the new DCBX firmware. This ensures the backward compatibility versus the old and new firmware. With the new DCBX firmware, qos settings can be controlled by either firmware or software depending on the DCBX mode. From Kamal and Saeed: - mlx5 self-test support. From Shaker: - Private flag to give the user the ability to enable/disable mlx5 CQE compression. V1->V2: - Check ETS capability where needed in: ("net/mlx5e: Read ETS settings directly from firmware") - Fix return value of mlx5e_dcbnl_switch_to_host_mode in: ("net/mlx5e: ConnectX-4 firmware support for DCBX") - Update commit message of: ("net/mlx5e: ConnectX-4 firmware support for DCBX") - Fix two sparse static check warnings in en_selftest.c This series was generated against commit: e5f12b3f ("Merge branch 'mlxsw-trap-groups-and-policers'") ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Issue description: Current implementation saves the ETS settings from user in a temporal soft copy and returns this settings when user queries the ETS settings. With the new DCBX firmware, the ETS settings can be changed by firmware when the DCBX is in firmware controlled mode. Therefore, user will obtain wrong values from the temporal soft copy. Solution: 1. Read the ETS settings directly from firmware. 2. For tc_tsa: a. Initialize tc_tsa to vendor IEEE_8021QAZ_TSA_VENDOR at netdev creation. b. When reading ETS setting from FW, if the traffic class bandwidth is less than 100, set tc_tsa to IEEE_8021QAZ_TSA_ETS. This implementation solves the scenarios when the DCBX is in FW control and willing bit is on which means the ETS setting is dictated by remote switch. Also check ETS capability where needed.

Add DCBX CEE API interface for ConnectX-4. Configurations are stored in a temporary structure and are applied to the card's firmware when the CEE's setall callback function is called. Note: priority group in CEE is equivalent to traffic class in ConnectX-4 hardware spec. bw allocation per priority in CEE is not supported because ConnectX-4 only supports bw allocation per traffic class. user priority in CEE does not have an equivalent term in ConnectX-4.

We use single queue even if multiqueue is enabled and let admin to enable it through ethtool later. This is used to avoid possible regression (small packet TCP stream transmission). But looks like an overkill since: - single queue user can disable multiqueue when launching qemu - brings extra troubles for the management since it needs extra admin tool in guest to enable multiqueue - multiqueue performs much better than single queue in most of the cases So this patch enables multiqueue by default: if #queues is less than or equal to #vcpu, enable as much as queue pairs; if #queues is greater than #vcpu, enable #vcpu queue pairs.

1) The test_lru_map and test_lru_dist fails building on my machine since the sys/resource.h header is not included. 2) test_verifier fails in one test case where we try to call an invalid function, since the verifier log output changed wrt printing function names. 3) Current selftest suite code relies on sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) for retrieving the number of possible CPUs. This is broken at least in our scenario and really just doesn't work. glibc tries a number of things for retrieving _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF. First it tries equivalent of /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]* | wc -l, if that fails, depending on the config, it either tries to count CPUs in /proc/cpuinfo, or returns the _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN value instead. If /proc/cpuinfo has some issue, it returns just 1 worst case. This oddity is nothing new [1], but semantics/behaviour seems to be settled. _SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN will parse /sys/devices/system/cpu/online, if that fails it looks into /proc/stat for cpuX entries, and if also that fails for some reason, /proc/cpuinfo is consulted (and returning 1 if unlikely all breaks down). While that might match num_possible_cpus() from the kernel in some cases, it's really not guaranteed with CPU hotplugging, and can result in a buffer overflow since the array in user space could have too few number of slots, and on perpcu map lookup, the kernel will write beyond that memory of the value buffer. William Tu reported such mismatches: [...] The fact that sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) != num_possible_cpu() happens when CPU hotadd is enabled. For example, in Fusion when setting vcpu.hotadd = "TRUE" or in KVM, setting ./qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 2, maxcpus=4 ... the num_possible_cpu() will be 4 and sysconf() will be 2 [2]. [...] Documentation/cputopology.txt says /sys/devices/system/cpu/possible outputs cpu_possible_mask. That is the same as in num_possible_cpus(), so first step would be to fix the _SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF calls with our own implementation. Later, we could add support to bpf(2) for passing a mask via CPU_SET(3), for example, to just select a subset of CPUs. BPF samples code needs this fix as well (at least so that people stop copying this). Thus, define bpf_num_possible_cpus() once in selftests and import it from there for the sample code to avoid duplicating it. The remaining sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_CONF) in samples are unrelated. After all three issues are fixed, the test suite runs fine again: # make run_tests | grep self selftests: test_verifier [PASS] selftests: test_maps [PASS] selftests: test_lru_map [PASS] selftests: test_kmod.sh [PASS] [1] https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2011-06/msg00079.html [2] https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg121183.html Fixes: 3059303f ("samples/bpf: update tracex[23] examples to use per-cpu maps") Fixes: 86af8b41 ("Add sample for adding simple drop program to link") Fixes: df570f57 ("samples/bpf: unit test for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_ARRAY") Fixes: e1559671 ("samples/bpf: unit test for BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_HASH") Fixes: ebb676da ("bpf: Print function name in addition to function id") Fixes: 5db58faf ("bpf: Add tests for the LRU bpf_htab") Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: William Tu <u9012063@gmail.com> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Allow for checking the owner_prog_type of a program array map. In some cases bpf(2) can return -EINVAL /after/ the verifier passed and did all the rewrites of the bpf program. The reason that lets us fail at this late stage is that program array maps are incompatible. Allow users to inspect this earlier after they got the map fd through BPF_OBJ_GET command. tc will get support for this. Also, display how much we charged the map with regards to RLIMIT_MEMLOCK.

This patch depends on commit d8d26354 ("ptp: Introduce a high resolution frequency adjustment method.") The gianfar devices offer a frequency resolution of about 0.46 ppb (depends on actual value of tmr_add, for the calculation assumed 0x80000000). This patch lets users of the device benefit from the increased frequency resolution when tuning the clock. Thanks to the rounding the maximum error between the requested frequency and the applied frequency will then be about 0.23 ppb. Tested on a v3.3.8 kernel on a real gianfar device.

In commit 10724cc7 ("tipc: redesign connection-level flow control") we replaced the previous message based flow control with one based on 1k blocks. In order to ensure backwards compatibility the mechanism falls back to using message as base unit when it senses that the peer doesn't support the new algorithm. The default flow control window, i.e., how many units can be sent before the sender blocks and waits for an acknowledge (aka advertisement) is 512. This was tested against the previous version, which uses an acknowledge frequency of on ack per 256 received message, and found to work fine. However, we missed the fact that versions older than Linux 3.15 use an acknowledge frequency of 512, which is exactly the limit where a 4.6+ sender will stop and wait for acknowledge. This would also work fine if it weren't for the fact that if the first sent message on a 4.6+ server side is an empty SYNACK, this one is also is counted as a sent message, while it is not counted as a received message on a legacy 3.15-receiver. This leads to the sender always being one step ahead of the receiver, a scenario causing the sender to block after 512 sent messages, while the receiver only has registered 511 read messages. Hence, the legacy receiver is not trigged to send an acknowledge, with a permanently blocked sender as result. We solve this deadlock by simply allowing the sender to send one more message before it blocks, i.e., by a making minimal change to the condition used for determining connection congestion.

Jiri Pirko says: ==================== mlxsw: traps, trap groups and policers Nogah says: For a packet to be sent from the HW to the cpu, it needs to be trapped. For a trap to be activate it should be assigned to a trap group. Those trap groups can have policers, to limit the packet rate (the max number of packets that can be sent to the cpu in a time slot, the rest will be discarded) or the data rate (the same, but the count is not by the number of packets but by their total length in bytes). This patchset rearrange the trap setting API, re-write the traps and the trap groups list in spectrum and assign them policers. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
