Ioana Ciornei says: ==================== dpaa2-eth: add PFC support This patch set adds support for Priority Flow Control in DPAA2 Ethernet devices. The first patch make the necessary changes so that multiple traffic classes are configured. The dequeue priority of the maximum 8 traffic classes is configured to be equal. The second patch adds a static distribution to said traffic classes based on the VLAN PCP field. In the future, this could be extended through the .setapp() DCB callback for dynamic configuration. Also, add support for the congestion group taildrop mechanism that allows us to control the number of frames that can accumulate on a group of Rx frame queues belonging to the same traffic class. The basic subset of the DCB ops is implemented so that the user can query the number of PFC capable traffic classes, their state and reconfigure them if necessary. Changes in v3: - add patches 6-7 which add the PFC functionality - patch 2/7: revert to explicitly cast mask to u16 * to not get into sparse warnings Changes in v4: - really fix the sparse warnings in 2/7 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Leave congestion group taildrop enabled for all traffic classes when PFC is enabled. Notification threshold is low enough such that it will be hit first and this also ensures that FQs on traffic classes which are not PFC enabled won't drain the buffer pool. FQ taildrop threshold is kept disabled as long as any form of flow control is on. Since FQ taildrop works with bytes, not number of frames, we can't guarantee it will not interfere with the congestion notification mechanism for all frame sizes.

Add support in dpaa2-eth for PFC (Priority Flow Control) through the DCB ops. Instruct the hardware to respond to received PFC frames. Current firmware doesn't allow us to selectively enable PFC on the Rx side for some priorities only, so we will react to all incoming PFC frames (and stop transmitting on the traffic classes specified in the frame). Also, configure the hardware to generate PFC frames based on Rx congestion notifications. When a certain number of frames accumulate in the ingress queues corresponding to a traffic class, priority flow control frames are generated for that TC. The number of PFC traffic classes available can be queried through lldptool. Also, which of those traffic classes have PFC enabled is also controlled through the same dcbnl_rtnl_ops callbacks.

Now that we have congestion group taildrop configured at all times, we can afford to increase the frame queue taildrop threshold; this will ensure a better response when receiving bursts of large-sized frames. Also decouple the buffer pool count from the Rx FQ taildrop threshold, as above change would increase it too much. Instead, keep the old count as a hardcoded value. With the new limits, we try to ensure that: * we allow enough leeway for large frame bursts (by buffering enough of them in queues to avoid heavy dropping in case of bursty traffic, but when overall ingress bandwidth is manageable) * allow pending frames to be evenly spread between ingress FQs, regardless of frame size * avoid dropping frames due to the buffer pool being empty; this is not a bad behaviour per se, but system overall response is more linear and predictable when frames are dropped at frame queue/group level.

The increase in number of ingress frame queues means we now risk depleting the buffer pool before the FQ taildrop kicks in. Congestion group taildrop allows us to control the number of frames that can accumulate on a group of Rx frame queues belonging to the same traffic class. This setting coexists with the frame queue based taildrop: whichever limit gets hit first triggers the frame drop.

The firmware reserves for each DPNI a number of RX frame queues equal to the number of configured flows x number of configured traffic classes. Current driver configuration directs all incoming traffic to FQs corresponding to TC0, leaving all other priority levels unused. Start adding support for multiple ingress traffic classes, by configuring the FQs associated with all priority levels, not just TC0. All settings that are per-TC, such as those related to hashing and flow steering, are also updated.

Tun in IFF_NAPI_FRAGS mode calls napi_gro_frags. Unlike netif_rx and netif_gro_receive, this expects skb->data to point to the mac layer. But skb_probe_transport_header, __skb_get_hash_symmetric, and xdp_do_generic in tun_get_user need skb->data to point to the network header. Flow dissection also needs skb->protocol set, so eth_type_trans has to be called. Ensure the link layer header lies in linear as eth_type_trans pulls ETH_HLEN. Then take the same code paths for frags as for not frags. Push the link layer header back just before calling napi_gro_frags. By pulling up to ETH_HLEN from frag0 into linear, this disables the frag0 optimization in the special case when IFF_NAPI_FRAGS is used with zero length iov[0] (and thus empty skb->linear).

In case there are multiple nodes in the topology that has the MRA role then only one node can behave as MRM and all the others need to be have as MRC. The node that has the higher priority(lower value) will behave as MRM. A node that has the MRA role and behaves as MRC, it just needs to forward the MRP_Test frames between the ring ports but also it needs to detect in case it stops receiving MRP_Test frames. In that case it would try to behave as MRM. v2: - add new patch that fixes sparse warnings - fix parsing of prio attribute ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

A node that has the MRA role, it can behave as MRM or MRC. Initially it starts as MRM and sends MRP_Test frames on both ring ports. If it detects that there are MRP_Test send by another MRM, then it checks if these frames have a lower priority than itself. In this case it would send MRP_Nack frames to notify the other node that it needs to stop sending MRP_Test frames. If it receives a MRP_Nack frame then it stops sending MRP_Test frames and starts to behave as a MRC but it would continue to monitor the MRP_Test frames send by MRM. If at a point the MRM stops to send MRP_Test frames it would get the MRM role and start to send MRP_Test frames. Signed-off-by: Horatiu Vultur <horatiu.vultur@microchip.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

As a somewhat hacky workaround, move one of them into an out-of-line function to reduce its scope. This does not necessarily reduce the stack usage of the outer function, but at least the second copy is removed from the stack during most of it and does not add up to whatever is called from there.

Microchip lan7431 is frequently connected to a phy. However, it can also be directly connected to a MII remote peer without any phy in between. For supporting such a phyless hardware setup in Linux we utilized phylib, which supports a fixed-link configuration via the device tree. And we added support for defining the connection type R/GMII in the device tree. New behavior: ------------- . The automatic speed and duplex detection of the lan743x silicon between mac and phy is disabled. Instead phylib is used like in other typical Linux drivers. The usage of phylib allows to specify fixed-link parameters in the device tree. . The device tree entry phy-connection-type is supported now with the modes RGMII or (G)MII (default). Development state: ------------------ . Tested with fixed-phy configurations. Not yet tested in normal configurations with phy.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== devlink: Add support for control packet traps So far device drivers were only able to register drop and exception packet traps with devlink. These traps are used for packets that were either dropped by the underlying device or encountered an exception (e.g., missing neighbour entry) during forwarding. However, in the steady state, the majority of the packets being trapped to the CPU are packets that are required for the correct functioning of the control plane. For example, ARP request and IGMP query packets. This patch set allows device drivers to register such control traps with devlink and expose their default control plane policy to user space. User space can then tune the packet trap policer settings according to its needs, as with existing packet traps. In a similar fashion to exception traps, the action associated with such traps cannot be changed as it can easily break the control plane. Unlike drop and exception traps, packets trapped via control traps are not reported to the kernel's drop monitor as they are not indicative of any problem. Patch set overview: Patches #1-#3 break out layer 3 exceptions to a different group to provide better granularity. A future patch set will make this completely configurable. Patch #4 adds a new trap action ('mirror') that is used for packets that are forwarded by the device and sent to the CPU. Such packets are marked by device drivers with 'skb->offload_fwd_mark = 1' in order to prevent the kernel from forwarding them again. Patch #5 adds the new trap type, 'control'. Patches #6-#8 gradually add various control traps to devlink with proper documentation. Patch #9 adds a few control traps to netdevsim, which are automatically exercised by existing devlink-trap selftest. Patches #10 performs small refactoring in mlxsw. Patches #11-#13 change mlxsw to register its existing control traps with devlink. Patch #14 adds a selftest over mlxsw that exercises all the registered control traps. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

We currently have an Rx listener function for exception traps that marks received skbs with 'offload_fwd_mark' and injects them to the kernel's Rx path. The marking is done because all these exceptions occur during L3 forwarding, after the packets were potentially flooded at L2. A subsequent patch will add support for control traps. Packets received via some of these control traps need different handling: 1. Packets might not need to be marked with 'offload_fwd_mark'. For example, if packet was trapped before L2 forwarding 2. Packets might not need to be injected to the kernel's Rx path. For example, sampled packets are reported to user space via the psample module Factor out a common Rx listener function that only reports trapped packets to devlink. Call it from mlxsw_sp_rx_no_mark_listener() and mlxsw_sp_rx_mark_listener() that will inject the packets to the kernel's Rx path, without and with the marking, respectively.

However, there is another problem: The indirect flow_block still does not work for the new TC CT action. The problem is that the existing flow_indr_block_entry callback assumes you can look up for the flowtable from the netdevice to get the flow_block. This flow_block allows you to offload the flows via TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER. Unfortunately, it is not possible to get the flow_block from the TC CT flowtables because they are _not_ bound to any specific netdevice. = What is the indirect flow_block infrastructure? The indirect flow_block infrastructure allows drivers to offload tc/netfilter rules that belong to software tunnel netdevices, e.g. vxlan. This indirect flow_block infrastructure relates tunnel netdevices with drivers because there is no obvious way to relate these two things from the control plane. = How does the indirect flow_block work before this patchset? Front-ends register the indirect block callback through flow_indr_add_block_cb() if they support for offloading tunnel netdevices. == Setting up an indirect block 1) Drivers track tunnel netdevices via NETDEV_{REGISTER,UNREGISTER} events. If there is a new tunnel netdevice that the driver can offload, then the driver invokes __flow_indr_block_cb_register() with the new tunnel netdevice and the driver callback. The __flow_indr_block_cb_register() call iterates over the list of the front-end callbacks. 2) The front-end callback sets up the flow_block_offload structure and it invokes the driver callback to set up the flow_block. 3) The driver callback now registers the flow_block structure and it returns the flow_block back to the front-end. 4) The front-end gets the flow_block object and it is now ready to offload rules for this tunnel netdevice. A simplified callgraph is represented below. Front-end Driver NETDEV_REGISTER | __flow_indr_block_cb_register(netdev, cb_priv, driver_cb) | [1] .--------------frontend_indr_block_cb(cb_priv, driver_cb) | . setup_flow_block_offload(bo) | [2] driver_cb(bo, cb_priv) -----------. | \/ set up flow_blocks [3] | add rules to flow_block <---------- TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER [4] == Releasing the indirect flow_block There are two possibilities, either tunnel netdevice is removed or a netdevice (port representor) is removed. === Tunnel netdevice is removed Driver waits for the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event that announces the tunnel netdevice removal. Then, it calls __flow_indr_block_cb_unregister() to remove the flow_block and rules. Callgraph is very similar to the one described above. === Netdevice is removed (port representor) Driver calls __flow_indr_block_cb_unregister() to remove the existing netfilter/tc rule that belong to the tunnel netdevice. = How does the indirect flow_block work after this patchset? Drivers register the indirect flow_block setup callback through flow_indr_dev_register() if they support for offloading tunnel netdevices. == Setting up an indirect flow_block 1) Frontends check if dev->netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc is unset. If so, frontends call flow_indr_dev_setup_offload(). This call invokes the drivers' indirect flow_block setup callback. 2) The indirect flow_block setup callback sets up a flow_block structure which relates the tunnel netdevice and the driver. 3) The front-end uses flow_block and offload the rules. Note that the operational to set up (non-indirect) flow_block is very similar. == Releasing the indirect flow_block === Tunnel netdevice is removed This calls flow_indr_dev_setup_offload() to set down the flow_block and remove the offloaded rules. This alternate path is exercised if dev->netdev_ops->ndo_setup_tc is unset. === Netdevice is removed (port representor) If a netdevice is removed, then it might need to to clean up the offloaded tc/netfilter rules that belongs to the tunnel netdevice: 1) The driver invokes flow_indr_dev_unregister() when a netdevice is removed. 2) This call iterates over the existing indirect flow_blocks and it invokes the cleanup callback to let the front-end remove the tc/netfilter rules. The cleanup callback already provides the flow_block that the front-end needs to clean up. Front-end Driver | flow_indr_dev_unregister(...) | iterate over list of indirect flow_block and invoke cleanup callback | .----------------------------- | . frontend_flow_block_cleanup(flow_block) . | \/ remove rules to flow_block TC_SETUP_CLSFLOWER = About this patchset This patchset aims to address the existing TC CT problem while simplifying the indirect flow_block infrastructure. Saving 300 LoC in the flow_offload core and the drivers. The operational gets aligned with the (non-indirect) flow_blocks logic. Patchset is composed of: Patch #1 add nf_flow_table_gc_cleanup() which is required by the netfilter's flowtable new indirect flow_block approach. Patch #2 adds the flow_block_indr object which is actually part of of the flow_block object. This stores the indirect flow_block metadata such as the tunnel netdevice owner and the cleanup callback (in case the tunnel netdevice goes away). This patch adds flow_indr_dev_{un}register() to allow drivers to offer netdevice tunnel hardware offload to the front-ends. Then, front-ends call flow_indr_dev_setup_offload() to invoke the drivers to set up the (indirect) flow_block. Patch #3 add the tcf_block_offload_init() helper function, this is a preparation patch to adapt the tc front-end to use this new indirect flow_block infrastructure. Patch #4 updates the tc and netfilter front-ends to use the new indirect flow_block infrastructure. Patch #5 updates the mlx5 driver to use the new indirect flow_block infrastructure. Patch #6 updates the nfp driver to use the new indirect flow_block infrastructure. Patch #7 updates the bnxt driver to use the new indirect flow_block infrastructure. Patch #8 removes the indirect flow_block infrastructure version 1, now that frontends and drivers have been translated to version 2 (coming in this patchset). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Drivers do not register to netdev events to set up indirect blocks anymore. Remove __flow_indr_block_cb_register() and __flow_indr_block_cb_unregister(). The frontends set up the callbacks through flow_indr_dev_setup_block() Signed-off-by: Pablo Neira Ayuso <pablo@netfilter.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
