The DSA driver needs to be passed a reference to an mdio bus. Typically the mac is configured to use a fixed link but the mdio bus still needs to be registered so that it con configure the switch. This patch follows the same process as the altera tse ethernet driver for creation of the mdio bus. Acked-by:

Tom Herbert says: ==================== net: The beginning of the end for NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM Background: This patch set starts to address one front in the battle against protocol ossification. Protocol ossification describes the state that we have arrived at in the evolution of the Internet where we are materially limited to only using a very narrow range of protocols and protocol features. For instance, only TCP and UDP is sufficiently supported on the Internet so that deploying alternative protocols, such as SCTP and DCCP, are non-starters. Similarly, IP options and IPv6 extension headers are typically not considered feasible for wide deployment, so we have loss the extensibility of IP protocols. Protocol ossification is not only a problem on the Internet, but in the data center as well. A root cause of this seems to be narrow, protocol specific optimizations implemented in switches (for doing EMCP) and in NICs (NIC offloads). These tend to be performance optimization around TCP and UDP packets, and these have become requirements to implement performant network solutions at scale. Attempts to deal with protocol ossification in data center have yielded ad hoc, sub-optimal solutions. A main driver of foo-over-UDP (e.g. GRE/UDP, MPLS/UDP) is to leverage the existing EMCP and RSS support for UDP by setting the source port as an entropy value. This has seen some success, but the cost of additional overhead and layering limits its usefulness. An even more extreme solution is STT where non-TCP packets are spoofed as TCP to leverage NIC offloads. This patch set endeavours to address protocol ossification caused by techniques used in transmit checksum offload for NICs. Future work will address protocol ossification in the other primary NIC offloads-- namely receive checksum offload, LSO, LRO, and RSS. NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM: NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM exemplify the problem of protocol ossification. These features are relics from a simpler time in the Internet, before encapsulation, before GRE and IPIP. Many hardware vendors only saw the need to provide checksum offload for simple UDP and TCP packets over IPv4 (IPv6 support is an afterthought also). In today's Internet and data centers, checksum offload is well established as a valuable feature, but we can no longer afford to be contsrained to use a handful of protocols and features that are supported at the discretion of NIC vendors. Generic and protocol agnostic methods are needed. The actual interface that the stack uses with drivers for checksum offload is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. This is a generic and protocol agnostic interface. A driver for a device that supports this generic interface advertises NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. Goals of this patch set: We propose that drivers advertise NETIF_F_HW_CSUM instead of protocol specific values of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM. If the driver's device is constrained (for instance it can only offlaod simple IPv4 and IPv6 packets) then these constraints can be checked in the transmit path and skb_checksum_help would be called for packets that the driver is unable to offload. In order to facilitate this, we add some helper functions that takes a specification argument indicating the type of packets a device is able to offload. If a packet does not match the specification, the helper function calls skb_checksum_help. Benefits of this approach are: - Simplify the stack and clarify the interface for checksum offload - Encourage NIC vendors to implement the generic. protocol agnostic checksum offload methods in hardware - Encourage feature parity in NIC offloads for IPv4 and IPv6 Many drivers advertise NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM and it probably isn't feasible to convert them all in a given time frame (although if we could this would be a great simplification to the stack). A reasonable direction may be to declare that new drivers must use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM as NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM are considered deprecated. There is a class of drivers that should now be converted to advertise NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, namely those that support offload of ecapsulated checksums. These drivers have to date been using skb->encapsulation to infer that checksum offload is being performed for an encapsulated checksum. This is strictly not correct. skb->encapsulation indicates that the inner headers are valid in the skbuff, whereas the stack indicates checksum offload arguments exclusively in csum_start and csum_offset. At some point we may want to set the inner headers for an skbuff but offload the outer transport checksum, so this needs to be fixed. In this patch set: - Rename some of constants involved in checksum offload to be more reflective of their function - Eliminate NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_V[46]_CSUM entirely as unnecessary convolutions - Fix conditions in tcp_sendpage and tcp_sendmsg to take IP protocol into account when determining if checksum offload can be done - Add driver helper functions for determining if a checksum can be offloaded to a device. If not, the helper function can call skb_checksum_help - Document the checksum offload interface between the stack and drivers with detail and specifics Testing: Have been testing ixgbe and mlx4. No noticeable regressions seen yet. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Add skb_csum_offload_chk driver helper function to determine if a device with limited checksum offload capabilities is able to offload the checksum for a given packet. This patch includes: - The skb_csum_offload_chk function. Returns true if checksum is offloadable, else false. Optionally, in the case that the checksum is not offloable, the function can call skb_checksum_help to resolve the checksum. skb_csum_offload_chk also returns whether the checksum refers to an encapsulated checksum. - Definition of skb_csum_offl_spec structure that caller uses to indicate rules about what it can offload (e.g. IPv4/v6, TCP/UDP only, whether encapsulated checksums can be offloaded, whether checksum with IPv6 extension headers can be offloaded). - Ancilary functions called skb_csum_offload_chk_help, skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn, skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn_v4_only.

In tcp_send_sendpage and tcp_sendmsg we check the route capabilities to determine if checksum offload can be performed. This check currently does not take the IP protocol into account for devices that advertise only one of NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM or NETIF_F_IP_CSUM. This patch adds a function to check capabilities for checksum offload with a socket called sk_check_csum_caps. This function checks for specific IPv4 or IPv6 offload support based on the family of the socket. Signed-off-by:

The name NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is a misnomer. This does not correspond to the set of features for offloading all checksums. This is a mask of the checksum offload related features bits. It is incorrect to set both NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM or NETIF_F_IPV6 at the same time for features of a device. This patch: - Changes instances of NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM to NETIF_F_CSUM_MASK (where NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM is being used as a mask). - Changes bonding, sfc/efx, ipvlan, macvlan, vlan, and team drivers to use NEITF_F_HW_CSUM in features list instead of NETIF_F_ALL_CSUM.

When setting up CRC offload set ip_summed to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL instead of CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This is consistent with the definition of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. The only driver that seems to be advertising NETIF_F_FCOE_CRC is ixgbe. AFICT the driver does not look at ip_summed for FCOE and just assumes that CRC is being offloaded. Signed-off-by:

The SCTP checksum is really a CRC and is very different from the standards 1's complement checksum that serves as the checksum for IP protocols. This offload interface is also very different.

Ido Schimmel says: ==================== This patchset introduces support for the offloading of 802.1D bridges between VLAN devices. These can either be VLAN devices configured on top of the physical ports or on top of LAG devices. Patches 1-2 deal with the necessary infrastructure changes needed in order to enable the above. The main change is that switchdev drivers can now know the device from which the switchdev op originated from. Patches 3-10 lay the groundwork for 802.1D bridges support in the mlxsw driver, with patch 4 doing most of the heavy lifting. Patch 11 finally offloads these bridges to hardware by listening to the notifications sent when the VLAN device joins or leaves a bridge. It is very similar to the already existing 802.1Q bridge we support. Patches 12-14 add minor modifications to allow one to bridge a VLAN device configured on top of LAG. ==================== Signed-off-by:

When creating a VLAN device on top of LAG, we are basically creating a vPort on top of each of the port netdevs member in the LAG. Therefore, these vPorts should inherit both the LAG status and LAG ID from the underlying port netdevs. In addition, when the VLAN device joins or leaves a bridge each of the underlying vPorts should know about it and act accordingly. This is achieved by propagating the VLAN event down to the lower devices. Signed-off-by:

All the member VLAN devices in a bridge need to share the same vFID. To achieve that, expand the vFID struct to include the associated bridge device (or lack of) and allow one to lookup a vFID based on a bridge device. When joining a bridge, lookup the relevant vFID or create one if none exists. Next, make the VLAN device use the vFID. Leaving a bridge can either occur because a user removed the VLAN device from a bridge or because the VLAN device was deleted by the user. In the latter case the bridge's teardown sequence is invoked after the hardware vPort is already gone. Therefore, when unlinking the VLAN device from the real device, check if the associated vPort is bridged and act accordingly. The bridge's notification will be ignored in this case. Note that bridging a VLAN interface with an ordinary port netdev is currently not supported, but not forbidden. This will be addressed in a follow-up patchset. Signed-off-by:

When a VLAN interface is configured on top of a physical port we should associate the VLAN device with the matching vPort. Likewise, when it's removed, we should revert back to the underlying port netdev. While not a must, this is consistent with port netdevs and also provides a more accurate error printing via netdev_err() and friends. Signed-off-by:

FDB notifications contain the FID and port (or LAG ID) on which the MAC was learned. In the case of the 802.1Q bridge one can easily derive the matching VID - as FID equals VID - and generate the appropriate notification for the software bridge. With VLAN devices this is no longer the case, as these are associated with a vFID. Solve that by converting the FID to a vFID and lookup the matching VLAN device. From that derive the VID and whether learning (and learning sync) should occur. Signed-off-by:

switchdev ops can now be called for VLAN devices and we need to be prepared for it. Until now they were only called for the port netdev. Use the newly propagated orig_dev passed as part of the switchdev attr/obj and determine whether the original device is a VLAN device. If so, act accordingly, otherwise continue as usual.

In the Spectrum ASIC - unlike SwitchX-2 - FDB access is done by specifying FID as parameter and not VID. Change the relevant variables and parameters names to reflect that. Note that this was OK up until now, since FID was always equal to VID, but with the introduction of VLAN interfaces this is no longer the case. Signed-off-by:

We previously used only one flood table for packets classified to vFIDs. However, since we are going to add support for bridges between VLAN interfaces (mapped to vFIDs) we need to add one more flood table. That way we can separate the flooding domain of unknown unicast traffic from all the rest and support flood control (as we do with the 802.1Q bridge). Signed-off-by:

Up until now we used a 1:1 mapping - based on VID - to map a VLAN interface to a vFID. However, a different scheme is needed in order to support bridges between VLAN interfaces, as all the member interfaces - which can have different VIDs - need to share the same vFID. Solve that by splitting the vFID range in two: 1. Non-bridged VLAN interfaces 2. Bridged VLAN interfaces When a VLAN interface is created, assign it the next available vFID in the first range, unless one already exists for that VID or number of vFIDs in the range was exceeded. When interface is removed, free the vFID, unless other interfaces are mapped to it. To accomplish the above: 1. Store the VID to vFID mapping in a new struct (mlxsw_sp_vfid), which has a global context and holds a reference count. 2. Create a vPort (dummy in case of bridge SELF invocation) on top of of the physical port and hold a reference to the associated vFID. vfid vfid +-------------+ +-------------+ | vfid | | vfid | | vid +---> ... | vid | | nr_vports | | nr_vports | +------+------+ +------+------+ | +-----------------------+-------+ | | vport vport +-------------+ +-------------+ | ... | | ... | | *vfid +---> ... | *vfid +---> ... | ... | | ... | +------+------+ +------+------+ | | port port +-------------+ +-------------+ | ... | | ... | | vports_list | | vports_list | | ... | | ... | +-------------+ +-------------+ swXpY swXpZ Next patches in the series will add the missing infrastructure for the second range and transfer vPorts between the two ranges according to the received notifications.

When adding support for bridges between VLAN interfaces, we'll introduce a new entity called a vPort, which is a represntation of the VLAN interface in the hardware. The main difference between a vPort and a physical port is that several FIDs can be bound to the latter, whereas only one (called a vFID) can be bound to the first. Therefore, it makes sense to use the same struct to represent the two, but to only allocate the 'active_vlans' bitmap in case of a physical port. Signed-off-by:

switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port. However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute. This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device and act accordingly. Signed-off-by:

We need to be able to propagate static FDB entries and certain bridge port attributes (e.g. learning, flooding) down to the port netdev driver when bridge port is a VLAN interface. Achieve that by setting ndo_bridge* and ndo_fdb* in vlan_netdev_ops to the corresponding switchdev_port* functions. This is consistent with team and bond devices. Signed-off-by:

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-12-14 This series contains updates to e1000e and igb. Alex Duyck changes e1000_up() to void since it always returned 0, also by making it void, we can drop some code since we no longer have to worry about non-zero return values. Aaron Sierra removes GS40G specific defines and functions since the i210 internal PHY can be accessed with the access functions shared by 82580, i350 and i354 devices. Also removes the code to add the PHY address into the PCDL register address, since there is no real reason to do so. Joe updates the cable length function reports all four pairs true min, max and average cable length for i210. Also updated ethtool to use enum-based labels instead of hard coded values. Benjamin Poirier cleans up code that is never reachable since MSI-X interrupts are not shared in e1000e. Also removes the ICR read in the other interrupt handler, since the information is not needed and IMS is configured such that the only link status change can trigger the other interrupt handler. Fixed in MSI-X mode, there is no handler for the LSC interrupt so there is no point in writing that to ICS now that we always assume other interrupts are caused by LSC. ==================== Signed-off-by: -

Since the introduction of 82574 support in e1000e, the driver has worked on the assumption that msi-x interrupt generation is automatically disabled after each irq. As it turns out, this is not the case. Currently, rx interrupts can fire multiple times before and during napi processing. This can be a problem for users because frames that arrive in a certain window (after adapter->clean_rx() but before napi_complete_done() has cleared NAPI_STATE_SCHED) generate an interrupt which does not lead to napi_schedule(). These frames sit in the rx queue until another frame arrives (a tcp retransmit for example). While the EIAC and CTRL_EXT registers are properly configured for irq automask, the modification of IAM in e1000_configure_msix() is what prevents automask from working as intended. This patch removes that erroneous write and fixes interrupt rearming for tx interrupts. It also clears IAME from CTRL_EXT. This is not strictly necessary for operation of the driver but it is to avoid disruption from potential programs that access the registers directly, like `ethregs -c`. Reported-by:
