Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25 This series enables some ethtool and tc-flower filters to be offloaded to igb-based network controllers. This is useful when the system configuration wants to steer kinds of traffic to a specific hardware queue for i210 devices only. The first two patch in the series are bug fixes. The basis of this series is to export the internal API used to configure address filters, so they can be used by ethtool, and extending the functionality so an source address can be handled. Then, we enable the tc-flower offloading implementation to re-use the same infrastructure as ethtool, and storing them in the per-adapter "nfc" (Network Filter Config?) list. But for consistency, for destructive access they are separated, i.e. an filter added by tc-flower can only be removed by tc-flower, but ethtool can read them all. Only support for VLAN Prio, Source and Destination MAC Address, and Ethertype is enabled for now. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-04-25 This series represents yet another phase of the macvlan cleanup Alex has been working on. The main goal of these changes is to make it so that we only support offloading what we can actually offload and we don't break any existing functionality. So for example we were claiming to advertise source mode macvlan and we were doing nothing of the sort, so support for that has been dropped. The biggest change with this set is that broadcast/multicast replication is no longer being supported in software. Alex dropped it as it leads to scaling issues when a broadcast frame has to be replicated up to 64 times. Beyond that this set goes through and optimized the time needed to bring up and tear down the macvlan interfaces on ixgbe and provides a clean way for us to disable the macvlan offload when needed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The internal CLC socket should exist till the SMC-socket is released. Function tcp_listen_worker() releases the internal CLC socket of a listen socket, if an smc_close_active() is called. This function is called for the final release(), but it is called for shutdown SHUT_RDWR as well. This opens a door for protection faults, if socket calls using the internal CLC socket are called for a shutdown listen socket. With the changes of commit 3d502067 ("net/smc: simplify wait when closing listen socket") there is no need anymore to release the internal CLC socket in function tcp_listen_worker((). It is sufficient to release it in smc_release().

This allows filters added by tc-flower and specifying MAC addresses, Ethernet types, and the VLAN priority field, to be offloaded to the controller. This reuses most of the infrastructure used by ethtool, but clsflower filters are kept in a separated list, so they are invisible to ethtool. To setup clsflower offloading: $ tc qdisc replace dev eth0 handle 100: parent root mqprio \ num_tc 3 map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \ queues 1@0 1@1 2@2 hw 0 (clsflower offloading depends on the netword driver to be configured with multiple traffic classes, we use mqprio's 'num_tc' parameter to set it to 3) $ tc qdisc add dev eth0 ingress Examples of filters: $ tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: flower \ dst_mac aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa \ hw_tc 2 skip_sw (just a simple filter filtering for the destination MAC address and steering that traffic to queue 2) $ tc filter add dev enp2s0 parent ffff: proto 0x22f0 flower \ src_mac cc:cc:cc:cc:cc:cc \ hw_tc 1 skip_sw (as the i210 doesn't support steering traffic based on the source address alone, we need to use another steering traffic, in this case we are using the ethernet type (0x22f0) to steer traffic to queue 1) Signed-off-by: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@intel.com> Tested-by: Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== nfp: flower tc block support and nfp PCI updates This series improves the nfp PCIe code by making use of the new pcie_print_link_status() helper and resetting NFP locks when driver loads. This can help us avoid lock ups after host crashes and is rebooted with PCIe reset or when kdump kernel is loaded. The flower changes come from John, he says: This patchset fixes offload issues when multiple repr netdevs are bound to a tc block and filter rules added. Previously the rule would be passed to the reprs and would be rejected in all but the first as the cookie value will indicate a duplicate. The first patch extends the flow lookup function to consider both host context and ingress netdev along with the cookie value. This means that a rule with a given cookie can exist multiple times assuming the ingress netdev is different. The host context ensures that stats from fw are associated with the correct instance of the rule. The second patch protects against rejecting add/del/stat messages when a rule has a repr as both an ingress port and an egress dev. In such cases a callback can be triggered twice (once for ingress and once for egress) and can lead to duplicate rule detection or incorrect double calls. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When multiple netdevs are attached to a tc offload block and register for callbacks, a rule added to the block will be propogated to all netdevs. Previously these were detected as duplicates (based on cookie) and rejected. Modify the rule nfp lookup function to optionally include an ingress netdev and a host context along with the cookie value when searching for a rule. When a new rule is passed to the driver, the netdev the rule is to be attached to is considered when searching for dublicates. When a stats update is received from HW, the host context is used alongside the cookie to map to the correct host rule.

NFP locks record the owner when held, for PCIe devices the owner ID will be the PCIe link number. When driver loads it should scan known locks and if they indicate that they are held by local endpoint but the driver doesn't hold them - release them. Locks can be left taken for instance when kernel gets kexec-ed or after a crash. Management FW tries to clean up stale locks too, but it currently depends on PCIe link going down which doesn't always happen.

This adds the capability of configuring the queue steering of arriving packets based on their source and destination MAC addresses. Source address steering (i.e. driving traffic to a specific queue), for the i210, does not work, but filtering does (i.e. accepting traffic based on the source address). So, trying to add a filter specifying only a source address will be an error. In practical terms this adds support for the following use cases, characterized by these examples: $ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether dst aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa action 0 (this will direct packets with destination address "aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa" to the RX queue 0) $ ethtool -N eth0 flow-type ether src 44:44:44:44:44:44 \ proto 0x22f0 action 3 (this will direct packets with source address "44:44:44:44:44:44" and ethertype 0x22f0 to the RX queue 3) Signed-off-by: Vinicius Costa Gomes <vinicius.gomes@intel.com> Tested-by: Aaron Brown <aaron.f.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>

Users expect that when adding a steering filter for the local MAC address, that all the traffic directed to that address will go to some queue. Currently, it's not possible to configure entries in the "in use" state, which is the normal state of the local MAC address entry (it is the default), this patch allows to override the steering configuration of "in use" entries, if the filter to be added match the address and address type (source or destination) of an existing entry. There is a bit of a special handling for entries referring to the local MAC address, when they are removed, only the steering configuration is reset.

On some igb models (82575 and i210) the MAC address filters can control to which queue the packet will be assigned. This extends the 'state' with one more state to signify that queue selection should be enabled for that filter. As 82575 parts are no longer easily obtained (and this was developed against i210), only support for the i210 model is enabled. These functions are exported and will be used in the next patch.

On the RAH registers there are semantic differences on the meaning of the "queue" parameter for traffic steering depending on the controller model: there is the 82575 meaning, which "queue" means a RX Hardware Queue, and the i350 meaning, where it is a reception pool. The previous behaviour was having no effect for i210 based controllers because the QSEL bit of the RAH register wasn't being set. This patch separates the condition in discrete cases, so the different handling is clearer.

ECMP (equal-cost multipath) hashes are typically computed on the packets' 5-tuple(src IP, dst IP, src port, dst port, L4 proto). For encapsulated packets, the L4 data is not readily available and ECMP hashing will often revert to (src IP, dst IP). This will lead to traffic polarization on a single ECMP path, causing congestion and waste of network capacity. In IPv6, the 20-bit flow label field is also used as part of the ECMP hash. In the lack of L4 data, the hashing will be on (src IP, dst IP, flow label). Having a non-zero flow label is thus important for proper traffic load balancing when L4 data is unavailable (i.e., when packets are encapsulated). Currently, the seg6_do_srh_encap() function extracts the original packet's flow label and set it as the outer IPv6 flow label. There are two issues with this behaviour: a) There is no guarantee that the inner flow label is set by the source. b) If the original packet is not IPv6, the flow label will be set to zero (e.g., IPv4 or L2 encap). This patch adds a function, named seg6_make_flowlabel(), that computes a flow label from a given skb. It supports IPv6, IPv4 and L2 payloads, and leverages the per namespace 'seg6_flowlabel" sysctl value. The currently support behaviours are as follows: -1 set flowlabel to zero. 0 copy flowlabel from Inner paceket in case of Inner IPv6 (Set flowlabel to 0 in case IPv4/L2) 1 Compute the flowlabel using seg6_make_flowlabel() This patch has been tested for IPv6, IPv4, and L2 traffic.

The original implementation for macvlan offload has us performing a full port reset every time we added a new macvlan. This shouldn't be necessary and can be avoided with a few behavior changes. This patches updates the logic for the queues so that we have essentially 3 possible configurations for macvlan offload. They consist of 15 macvlans with 4 queues per macvlan, 31 macvlans with 2 queues per macvlan, and 63 macvlans with 1 queue per macvlan. As macvlans are added you will encounter up to 3 total resets if you add all the way up to 63, and after that the device will stay in the mode supporting up to 63 macvlans until the L2FW flag is cleared.

This change makes it so that we use a software path for packets that are going to be locally switched between two macvlan interfaces on the same device. In addition we resort to software replication of broadcast and multicast packets instead of offloading that to hardware. The general idea is that using the device for east/west traffic local to the system is extremely inefficient. We can only support up to whatever the PCIe limit is for any given device so this caps us at somewhere around 20G for devices supported by ixgbe. This is compounded even further when you take broadcast and multicast into account as a single 10G port can come to a crawl as a packet is replicated up to 60+ times in some cases. In order to get away from that I am implementing changes so that we handle broadcast/multicast replication and east/west local traffic all in software.
