Current code makes it look like qeth_send_control_data_cb() is some sort of default callback for all cmds. But in practice, it is only used for half of the cmd buffers we issue. Reduce the confusion by only setting this callback for cmds that actually want it, and while at it give the callback a name that matches the established naming scheme.

The inet6addr_chain is atomic. So instead of starting the cmd IO for SETIP / DELIP straight from the notifier callback, run it from a workqueue.

The L2 and L3 .ndo_set_rx_mode callbacks maintain an address cache to decide which addresses have changed since the last modeset. When the card is set offline, qeth_l?_stop_card() drains this cache. This happens only after 1) the net_device has been detached, and 2) any pending RX modeset has completed. Consequently we can access the cache lock-free.

.ndo_set_rx_mode gets called in process context, but while holding the addr_list spinlock. Which means we currently can't sleep while re-programming the HW, and need to poll for IO completion. That's bad, in particular since receiving the cmd response can fail silently and we're then polling until the timeout hits. As a first step towards eliminating the IO completion polling, run the RX modeset from a work element and only take the addr_list lock while updating the RX mode address cache.

Jiri Pirko says: =================== net: call for phys_port_name into devlink directly if possible phys_port_name may be assembled by a helper in devlink. It is currently the case only for mlxsw driver. Benefit from the get_devlink_port ndo and call into devlink directly from dev_get_phys_port_name(). That saves the trip to the driver, simplifies the code and makes it similar to recently introduced ethtool-devlink compat helpers. Move bnxt, partly nfp and dsa to let devlink core generate the name too. =================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently if the driver registers devlink port instance, it should set the devlink port attributes as well. Then the devlink core is able to obtain physical port name itself, no need for driver to implement the ndo. Once all drivers will implement devlink port registration, this ndo should be removed. This warning guides new drivers to do things as they should be done. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski <jakub.kicinski@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

My recent patch had at least three problems : 1) TX zerocopy wants notification when skb is acknowledged, thus we need to call skb_zcopy_clear() if the skb is cached into sk->sk_tx_skb_cache 2) Some applications might expect precise EPOLLOUT notifications, so we need to update sk->sk_wmem_queued and call sk_mem_uncharge() from sk_wmem_free_skb() in all cases. The SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK flag must also be set. 3) Reuse of saved skb should have used skb_cloned() instead of simply checking if the fast clone has been freed.

This patch adds a new action - 'check_pkt_len' which checks the packet length and executes a set of actions if the packet length is greater than the specified length or executes another set of actions if the packet length is lesser or equal to. This action takes below nlattrs * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_PKT_LEN - 'pkt_len' to check for * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_GREATER - Nested actions to apply if the packet length is greater than the specified 'pkt_len' * OVS_CHECK_PKT_LEN_ATTR_ACTIONS_IF_LESS_EQUAL - Nested actions to apply if the packet length is lesser or equal to the specified 'pkt_len'. The main use case for adding this action is to solve the packet drops because of MTU mismatch in OVN virtual networking solution. When a VM (which belongs to a logical switch of OVN) sends a packet destined to go via the gateway router and if the nic which provides external connectivity, has a lesser MTU, OVS drops the packet if the packet length is greater than this MTU. With the help of this action, OVN will check the packet length and if it is greater than the MTU size, it will generate an ICMP packet (type 3, code 4) and includes the next hop mtu in it so that the sender can fragment the packets.

1000BaseT standard requires that a link is reported as down earliest after 750ms. Several use case however require a much faster detecion of a broken link. Fast Link Down supports this by intentionally violating a the standard. This patch exposes the Fast Link Down feature of 88E1540 and 88E6390. These PHY's can be found as internal PHY's in several switches: 88E6352, 88E6240, 88E6176, 88E6172, and 88E6390(X). Fast Link Down and EEE are mutually exclusive.

An FoU socket is currently bound to the wildcard-address. While this works fine, there are several use-cases where the use of the wildcard-address is not desirable. For example, I use FoU on some multi-homed servers and would like to use FoU on only one of the interfaces. This commit adds support for binding FoU sockets to a given source address/interface, as well as connecting the socket to a given destination address/port. udp_tunnel already provides the required infrastructure, so most of the code added is for exposing and setting the different attributes (local address, peer address, etc.). The lookups performed when we add, delete or get an FoU-socket has also been updated to compare all the attributes a user can set. Since the comparison now involves several elements, I have added a separate comparison-function instead of open-coding. In order to test the code and ensure that the new comparison code works correctly, I started by creating a wildcard socket bound to port 1234 on my machine. I then tried to create a non-wildcarded socket bound to the same port, as well as fetching and deleting the socket (including source address, peer address or interface index in the netlink request). Both the create, fetch and delete request failed. Deleting/fetching the socket was only successful when my netlink request attributes matched those used to create the socket. I then repeated the tests, but with a socket bound to a local ip address, a socket bound to a local address + interface, and a bound socket that was also «connected» to a peer. Add only worked when no socket with the matching source address/interface (or wildcard) existed, while fetch/delete was only successful when all attributes matched. In addition to testing that the new code work, I also checked that the current behavior is kept. If none of the new attributes are provided, then an FoU-socket is configured as before (i.e., wildcarded). If any of the new attributes are provided, the FoU-socket is configured as expected. v1->v2: * Fixed building with IPv6 disabled (kbuild). * Fixed a return type warning and make the ugly comparison function more readable (kbuild). * Describe more in detail what has been tested (thanks David Miller). * Make peer port required if peer address is specified.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 100GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-03-26 This series contains more updates to the ice driver only. Jeremiah provides his first patch to the Linux kernel to clean up un-necessary newlines in driver log messages. Mitch updates the ice driver to use existing status codes in the iavf driver so that when errors occur, it will not report nonsensical results. Adds support for VF admin queue interrupts by programming the VPINT_MBX_CTL register array. Brett adds a check for a bit that we set while preparing for a reset, to ensure we are prepared to do a proper reset. Also implemented PCI error handling operations. Went through and audited the hot path with pahole and made modifications based on the results since 2 structures were taking up more space than necessary due to cache alignment issues. Fixed an issue where when flow control was disabled, the state of flow control was being displayed as "Unknown". Anirudh fixes adaptive interrupt moderation changes by adding code that was missed, that should have been added in the initial patch to add that support. Cleaned up a function prototype that was never implemented. Did additional code cleanup by removing unneeded braces and redundant code comments. Akeem fixes an issue that occurs when the VF is attempting to remove the default LAN/MAC address, which is programmed by the administrator by updating the error message to explicitly say that the VF cannot change the MAC programmed by the PF. Preethi fixes the driver to not fall into the error path when a added filter already exists, but instead continue to process the rest of the function and add appropriate checks after adding MAC filters. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Maxime Chevallier says: ==================== net: mvpp2: Classifier updates and cleanups In preparation for the future addition of classification offload support, this series cleans-up the current code dealing with the classification engines. As of today, the classification code only deals with RSS, which is a very narrow use-case when considering all of the classifier's features. This lead to design and naming decisions that don't really stand when considering using more classification features. This series therefore includes quite a lot a renaming of functions and macros, and tries to make the naming schemes more consistent and the code more readable. The debugfs interface that allows reading the various Parsing and Classification engines has been cleaned-up and made more generic, allowing to read the Flow Table and C2 engine hit counters on a per-entry basis. The Classifier itself has been made more robust by introducing the lu_type field in classification lookups, that prevents false-positive matches in the future. We also initialise the various engine in a more extensive and less error-prone way by assining default values to all entries in the C2 and Flow table. This is a pretty big series considering it's mostly cleanup, but my goal is to make the future series that will contain new big features easier to review, focusing on the real logic. Besides the debugfs interface, this series doesn't intend to introduce any new features or change in behaviours. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
