This patch introduce a new mib entry which isn't part of 802.15.4 but useful as default behaviour to set the ack request bit or not if we don't know if the ack request bit should set. This is currently used for stacks like IEEE 802.15.4 6LoWPAN.

This patch changes the state change behaviour of at86rf230 to always TX_ARET mode. According the at86rf2xx datasheets TX_ARET mode doesn't mean to be always waiting for ack frames after transmit. The transceiver will automatically wait for ack frames or not if the acknowledge request bit is set. See section "TX_ARET_ON – Transmit with Automatic Frame Retransmission and CSMA-CA Retry".

This patch changes the default minimum value of frame_retries to 0 and changes the frame_retries default value to 3 which is also 802.15.4 default. We don't use the frame_retries "-1" value as indicator for no-aret mode anymore, instead we checking on the ack request bit inside the 802.15.4 frame control field. This allows a acknowledge handling per frame. This checking is done by transceiver or inside xmit callback of driver layer. If a transceiver doesn't support ARET handling the transmit functionality ignores ack frames then, which isn't well but should not effect anything of current functionality.

This patch removes several checks if a value is really changed. This makes only sense if we have another layer call e.g. calling the driver_ops which is done by callbacks like "set_channel". For MAC settings which need to be set by phy registers (if the phy supports that handling) this is set by doing an interface up currently and are not direct driver_ops calls, so we remove the checks from these configuration callbacks.

If we currently change the mac address inside the wpan interface while we have a lowpan interface on top of the wpan interface, the mac address setting doesn't reach the lowpan interface. The effect would be that the IPv6 lowpan interface has the old SLAAC address and isn't working anymore because the lowpan interface use in internal mechanism sometimes dev->addr which is the old mac address of the wpan interface. This patch checks if a wpan interface belongs to lowpan interface, if yes then we need to check if the lowpan interface is down and change the mac address also at the lowpan interface. When the lowpan interface will be set up afterwards, it will use the correct SLAAC address which based on the updated mac address setting.

We currently supports multiple lowpan interfaces per wpan interface. I never saw any use case into such functionality. We drop this feature now because it's much easier do deal with address changes inside the under laying wpan interface. This patch removes the multiple lowpan interface and adds a lowpan_dev netdev pointer into the wpan_dev, if this pointer isn't null the wpan interface belongs to the assigned lowpan interface.

The lowpan_fetch_skb function is used to fetch the first byte, which also increments the data pointer in skb structure, making subsequent array lookup of byte 0 actually being byte 1. To decompress the first byte of the Flow Label when the TF flag is set to 0x01, the second half of the first byte is needed. The patch fixes the extraction of the Flow Label field.

We should be passing the pointer itself instead of the address of the pointer. This was a copy and paste bug when we replaced the calls to hci_send_cmd().

Previously we only checked if the transmission queue is not full in the middle of the xmit function. This lead to complex logic due to the fact that sometimes we need to reallocate the headroom for our Tx header. Allow the switch driver to know if the transmission queue is not full before sending the packet and remove this complex logic.

System ports are unique identifiers in a multi-ASIC environment that represent all the available ports in the system. Local ports on the other hand, are unique only within the local ASIC. Since system port to local port mapping is not part of the HW-SW contract and since only single-ASIC configurations are currently supported, set an explicit 1:1 mapping by configuring the Switch System Port Record (SSPR) register.

RFC 4182 s2 states that if an IPv4 Explicit NULL label is the only label on the stack, then after popping the resulting packet must be treated as a IPv4 packet and forwarded based on the IPv4 header. The same is true for IPv6 Explicit NULL with an IPv6 packet following. Therefore, when installing the IPv4/IPv6 Explicit NULL label routes, add an attribute that specifies the expected payload type for use at forwarding time for determining the type of the encapsulated packet instead of inspecting the first nibble of the packet.

All the map backends are of generic nature. In order to avoid adding much special code into the eBPF core, rewrite part of the bpf_prog_array map code and make it more generic.

Vivien Didelot says: ==================== net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: support switchdev FDB objects This patchset refactors the DSA and mv88e6xxx code to use the switchdev FDB objects. The first two patches add minor but necessary changes to switchdev, the third one implements the switchdev glue in DSA for FDB routines, and the remaining ones refactor the FDB access functions in the mv88e6xxx code. Below is an usage example (ports 0-2 belongs to br0, ports 3-4 belongs to br1): # bridge fdb add 3c:97:0e:11:30:6e dev swp2 # bridge fdb add 3c:97:0e:11:40:78 dev swp3 # bridge fdb add 3c:97:0e:11:50:86 dev swp4 # bridge fdb del 3c:97:0e:11:40:78 dev swp3 # bridge fdb 01:00:5e:00:00:01 dev eth0 self permanent 01:00:5e:00:00:01 dev eth1 self permanent 00:50:d2:10:78:15 dev swp0 master br0 permanent 3c:97:0e:11:30:6e dev swp2 self static 00:50:d2:10:78:15 dev swp3 master br1 permanent 3c:97:0e:11:50:86 dev swp4 self static # cat /sys/kernel/debug/dsa0/atu # DB T/P Vec State Addr # 001 Port 004 e 3c:97:0e:11:30:6e # 004 Port 010 e 3c:97:0e:11:50:86 For the 88E6xxx switches, FIDs 1 to num_ports will be reserved for non-bridged ports and bridge groups, and the remaining will be later used by VLANs. This change is necessary to welcome the support for hardware VLANs (which will follow soon). Changes in v2: - remove ndo_bridge_{get,set,del}link from switchdev/DSA glue code - use ether_addr_copy instead of memcpy for MAC addresses - constify MAC address in port_fdb_{add,del} - split the mv88e6xxx code refactoring into several patches ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This commit adds a low level _mv88e6xxx_atu_getnext function and helpers to rewrite the mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_getnext operation. A mv88e6xxx_atu_entry structure is added for convenient access to the hardware, and GLOBAL_ATU_FID is defined instead of the raw 0x01 value.

There is a race condition in store_rps_map that allows jump label count in rps_needed to go below zero. This can happen when concurrently attempting to set and a clear map. Scenario: 1. rps_needed count is zero 2. New map is assigned by setting thread, but rps_needed count _not_ yet incremented (rps_needed count still zero) 2. Map is cleared by second thread, old_map set to that just assigned 3. Second thread performs static_key_slow_dec, rps_needed count now goes negative Fix is to increment or decrement rps_needed under the spinlock.

IFLA_VXLAN_FLOWBASED is useless without IFLA_VXLAN_COLLECT_METADATA, so combine them into single IFLA_VXLAN_COLLECT_METADATA flag. 'flowbased' doesn't convey real meaning of the vxlan tunnel mode.

Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== RDS-TCP: Network namespace support This patch series contains the set of changes to correctly set up the infra for PF_RDS sockets that use TCP as the transport in multiple network namespaces. Patch 1 in the series is the minimal set of changes to allow a single instance of RDS-TCP to run in any (i.e init_net or other) net namespace. The changes in this patch set ensure that the execution of 'modprobe [-r] rds_tcp' sets up the kernel TCP sockets relative to the current netns, so that RDS applications can send/recv packets from that netns, and the netns can later be deleted cleanly. Patch 2 of the series further allows multiple RDS-TCP instances, one per network namespace. The changes in this patch allows dynamic creation/tear-down of RDS-TCP client and server sockets across all current and future namespaces. v2 changes from RFC sent out earlier: David Ahern comments in patch 1, net_device notifier in patch 2, patch 3 broken off and submitted separately. v3: Cong Wang review comments. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
