Simplify the mlx4 driver interface by removing mlx4_get_protocol_dev() and the associated mlx4_interface.get_dev callbacks. This is done in preparation to use an auxiliary bus to model the mlx4 driver structure. The change is motivated by the following situation: * The mlx4_en interface is being initialized by mlx4_en_add() and mlx4_en_activate(). * The latter activate function calls mlx4_en_init_netdev() -> register_netdev() to register a new net_device. * A netdev event NETDEV_REGISTER is raised for the device. * The netdev notififier mlx4_ib_netdev_event() is called and it invokes mlx4_ib_scan_netdevs() -> mlx4_get_protocol_dev() -> mlx4_en_get_netdev() [via mlx4_interface.get_dev]. This chain creates a problem when mlx4_en gets switched to be an auxiliary driver. It contains two device calls which would both need to take a respective device lock. Avoid this situation by updating mlx4_ib_scan_netdevs() to no longer call mlx4_get_protocol_dev() but instead to utilize the information passed in net_device.parent and net_device.dev_port. This data is sufficient to determine that an updated port is one that the mlx4_ib driver should take care of and to keep mlx4_ib_dev.iboe.netdevs up to date. Following that, update mlx4_ib_get_netdev() to also not call mlx4_get_protocol_dev() and instead scan all current netdevs to find find a matching one. Note that mlx4_ib_get_netdev() is called early from ib_register_device() and cannot use data tracked in mlx4_ib_dev.iboe.netdevs which is not at that point yet set. Finally, remove function mlx4_get_protocol_dev() and the mlx4_interface.get_dev callbacks (only mlx4_en_get_netdev()) as they became unused. Signed-off-by:

Some of the newer silicon versions in CN10K series supports a feature where in the current PTP timestamp in HW can be updated atomically without losing any cpu cycles unlike read/modify/write register. This patch uses this feature so that PTP accuracy can be improved while adjusting the master offset in HW. There is no need for SW timecounter when using this feature. So removed references to SW timecounter wherever appropriate. Signed-off-by:

Mat Martineau says: ==================== mptcp: Prepare MPTCP packet scheduler for BPF extension The kernel's MPTCP packet scheduler has, to date, been a one-size-fits all algorithm that is hard-coded. It attempts to balance latency and throughput when transmitting data across multiple TCP subflows, and has some limited tunability through sysctls. It has been a long-term goal of the Linux MPTCP community to support customizable packet schedulers for use cases that need to make different trade-offs regarding latency, throughput, redundancy, and other metrics. BPF is well-suited for configuring customized, per-packet scheduling decisions without having to modify the kernel or manage out-of-tree kernel modules. The first steps toward implementing BPF packet schedulers are to update the existing MPTCP transmit loops to allow more flexible scheduling decisions, and to add infrastructure for swappable packet schedulers. The existing scheduling algorithm remains the default. BPF-related changes will be in a future patch series. This code has been in the MPTCP development tree for quite a while, undergoing testing in our CI and community. Patches 1 and 2 refactor the transmit code and do some related cleanup. Patches 3-9 add infrastructure for registering and calling multiple schedulers. Patch 10 connects the in-kernel default scheduler to the new infrastructure. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230821-upstream-net-next-20230818-v1-0-0c860fb256a8@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

This patch defines the default packet scheduler mptcp_sched_default. Register it in mptcp_sched_init(), which is invoked in mptcp_proto_init(). Skip deleting this default scheduler in mptcp_unregister_scheduler(). Set msk->sched to the default scheduler when the input parameter of mptcp_init_sched() is NULL. Invoke mptcp_sched_default_get_subflow in get_send() and get_retrans() if the defaut scheduler is set or msk->sched is NULL. Acked-by:

In WQE (Work Queue Entry), the two types of data segments memories are pointers and inline data, where inline data is passed directly as part of the WQE. For software steering, the maximal inline size should be less than 2*MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB, i.e., the potential data must fit with the required inline WQE headers. Two consecutive blocks (MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB) are not guaranteed to reside on the same memory page. Hence, writes to MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB should be done separately, i.e., each MLX5_SEND_WQE_BB should be obtained using the mlx5_wq_cyc_get_wqe macro. Signed-off-by:
