max_vfs is a strange little beast because the file hangs off of nsim's debugfs, but it configures a field in the bus device. Move it to dev.c, let's look at it as if the device driver was imposing VF limit based on FW info (like pci_sriov_set_totalvfs()). Again, when moving refactor the function not to hold the vfs lock pointlessly while parsing the input. Wrap the access from the read side in READ_ONCE() to appease concurrency checkers. Do not check if return value from snprintf() is negative... Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When netdevsim got split into the faux bus vfconfig ended up in the bus device (think pci_dev) which is strange because it contains very networky not to say netdevy information. Move it to nsim_dev, which is the driver "priv" structure for the device. To make sure we don't race with probe/remove take the device lock (much like PCI). While at it remove the NULL-checking of vfconfigs. It appears to be pointless. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Legacy VF NDOs look at num_vfs and then based on that index into vfconfig. If we don't rtnl_lock() num_vfs may get set to 0 and vfconfig freed/replaced while the NDO is running. We don't need to protect replacing vfconfig since it's only done when num_vfs is 0. Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== improve ethtool/rtnl vs devlink locking During ethtool netlink development we decided to move some of the commmands to devlink. Since we don't want drivers to implement both devlink and ethtool version of the commands ethtool ioctl falls back to calling devlink. Unfortunately devlink locks must be taken before rtnl_lock. This results in a questionable dev_hold() / rtnl_unlock() / devlink / rtnl_lock() / dev_put() pattern. This method "works" but it working depends on drivers in question not doing much in ethtool_ops->begin / complete, and on the netdev not having needs_free_netdev set. Since commit 437ebfd9 ("devlink: Count struct devlink consumers") we can hold a reference on a devlink instance and prevent it from going away (sort of like netdev with dev_hold()). We can use this to create a more natural reference nesting where we get a ref on the devlink instance and make the devlink call entirely outside of the rtnl_lock section. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

devlink compat code needs to drop rtnl_lock to take devlink->lock to ensure correct lock ordering. This is problematic because we're not strictly guaranteed that the netdev will not disappear after we re-lock. It may open a possibility of nested ->begin / ->complete calls. Instead of calling into devlink under rtnl_lock take a ref on the devlink instance and make the call after we've dropped rtnl_lock. We (continue to) assume that netdevs have an implicit reference on the devlink returned from ndo_get_devlink_port Note that ndo_get_devlink_port will now get called under rtnl_lock. That should be fine since none of the drivers seem to be taking serious locks inside ndo_get_devlink_port.

Allow those who hold implicit reference on a devlink instance to try to take a full ref on it. This will be used from netdev code which has an implicit ref because of driver call ordering. Note that after recent changes devlink_unregister() may happen before netdev unregister, but devlink_free() should still happen after, so we are safe to try, but we can't just refcount_inc() and assume it's not zero.

Currently the simult_flows.sh self-tests are not very stable, especially when running on slow VMs. The tests measure runtime for transfers on multiple subflows and check that the time is near the theoretical maximum. The current test infra introduces a bit of jitter in test runtime, due to multiple explicit delays. Additionally the runtime is measured by the shell script wrapper. On a slow VM, the script overhead is measurable and subject to relevant jitter. One solution to make the test more stable would be adding more slack to the expected time; that could possibly hide real regressions. Instead move the measurement inside the command doing the transfer, and drop most unneeded sleeps.

br_switchdev_mdb_notify() is conditionally compiled only when CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV=y and CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING=y. It is called from br_mdb.c, which is conditionally compiled only when CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING=y. The shim definition of br_switchdev_mdb_notify() is therefore needed for the case where CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV=n, however we mistakenly put it there for the case where CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING=n. This results in build failures when CONFIG_BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING=y and CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV=n. To fix this, put the shim definition right next to br_switchdev_fdb_notify(), which is properly guarded by NET_SWITCHDEV=n. Since this is called only from br_mdb.c, we need not take any extra safety precautions, when NET_SWITCHDEV=n and BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING=n, this shim definition will be absent but nobody will be needing it.

Adjust termination table logic to handle rules which involve internal port as filter or forwarding device. For cases where the rule forwards from internal port to uplink, always choose to go via termination table. This is because it is not known from where the packet originally arrived to the internal port and it is possible that it came from the uplink itself, in which case a term table is required to perform hairpin. If the packet arrived from a vport, going via term table has no effect. For cases where the rule forwards to an internal port from uplink the rep pointer will point to the uplink rep, avoid going via termination table as it is not required.

Register callbacks for tc blocks of ovs internal port devices. This allows an indirect offloading rules that apply on such devices as the filter device. In case a rule is added to a tc block of an internal port, the mlx5 driver will implicitly add a matching on the internal port's unique vport metadata value to the rule's matching list. Therefore, only packets that previously hit a rule that redirects to an internal port and got the vport metadata overwritten to the internal port's unique metadata, can match on such indirect rule. Offloading of both ingress and egress tc blocks of internal ports is supported as opposed to other devices where only ingress block offloading is supported.

When pefroming encap action, a route lookup is performed to find the routing device the packet should be forwarded to after the encapsulation. This is the device that has the local tunnel ip address. This change adds support to offload an encap rule where the route device ends up being an ovs internal port. In such case, the driver will add a HW rule that will encapsulate the packet with the tunnel header and will overwrite the vport metadata in reg_c0 to the internal port metadata value.

Allow offloading rules that redirect to ovs internal port ingress and egress. To support redirect to ingress device, offloading of REDIRECT_INGRESS action is added. When a tc rule redirects to ovs internal port, the hw rule will overwrite the input vport value in reg_c0 with a new vport metadata value that is mapped for this internal port using the internal port mapping api that is introduce in previous patches. After that the hw rule will redirect the packet to the root table to continue processing with the new vport metadata value. The new vport metadata value indicates that this packet is now arriving through an internal port and therefore should be processed using rules that apply on the same internal port as the filter device. Therefore, following rules that apply on this internal port will have to match on the same vport metadata value as part of their matching keys to make sure the packet belongs to the internal port.

Setting the skb packet type field to host is usually done when performing forwarding to ingress device. This is required since the receive handling that is used by the redirect to ingress action checks whether the packet doesn't belong to this host and drops the packet in such case. In order to be able to offload action redirect ingress, tc offload code needs to accept the skbedit ptype action as well. There's no special handling in HW for such action since it will be followed by a redirect action and therefore, this code only allows us to accept such action in the actions list but not performing anything specific in HW for it.

Adding infrastructure to map ovs internal port device to vport match metadata to support offload of rules with internal port as the filter device or as the destination device. The infrastructure allows adding and removing internal port device to an eswitch database and getting a unique vport metadata value to be placed and match on in reg_c0 when offloading rules that are coming from or going to an internal port. The new int port metadata can be written to the source port register in HW to indicate that current source port of the packet is the internal port and not one of the actual HW vports (uplink or VF). Using this method, it is possible to offload TC rules with an OVS internal port as their destination port (overwriting the src vport register) or as the filter port (matching on the value of the src vport register and making sure it matches to the internal port's value). There is also a need to handle a miss case where the packet's src port value was changed in HW to an internal port but a following rule which matches on this new src port value wasn't found in HW. In such case, the packet will be forwarded to the driver with metadata which allows driver to restore the info of the internal port's netdevice. Once this info is restored, the uplink driver can forward the packet to the relevant netdevice in SW.
