Jiri Benc says: ==================== openvswitch: support for layer 3 encapsulated packets At the core of this patch set is removing the assumption in Open vSwitch datapath that all packets have Ethernet header. The implementation relies on the presence of pop_eth and push_eth actions in datapath flows to facilitate adding and removing Ethernet headers as appropriate. The construction of such flows is left up to user-space. This series is based on work by Simon Horman, Lorand Jakab, Thomas Morin and others. I kept Lorand's and Simon's s-o-b in the patches that are derived from v11 to record their authorship of parts of the code. Changes from v12 to v13: * Addressed Pravin's feedback. * Removed the GRE vport conversion patch; L3 GRE ports should be created by rtnetlink instead. Main changes from v11 to v12: * The patches were restructured and split differently for easier review. * They were rebased and adjusted to the current net-next. Especially MPLS handling is different (and easier) thanks to the recent MPLS GSO rework. * Several bugs were discovered and fixed. The most notable is fragment handling: header adjustment for ARPHRD_NONE devices on tx needs to be done after refragmentation, not before it. This required significant changes in the patchset. Another one is stricter checking of attributes (match on L2 vs. L3 packet) at the kernel level. * Instead of is_layer3 bool, a mac_proto field is used. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Extend the ovs flow netlink protocol to support L3 packets. Packets without OVS_KEY_ATTR_ETHERNET attribute specify L3 packets; for those, the OVS_KEY_ATTR_ETHERTYPE attribute is mandatory.

Support receiving, extracting flow key and sending of L3 packets (packets without an Ethernet header). Note that even after this patch, non-Ethernet interfaces are still not allowed to be added to bridges. Similarly, netlink interface for sending and receiving L3 packets to/from user space is not in place yet. Based on previous versions by Lorand Jakab and Simon Horman.

We'll need it to alter packets sent to ARPHRD_NONE interfaces. Change do_output() to use the actual L2 header size of the packet when deciding on the minimum cutlen. The assumption here is that what matters is not the output interface hard_header_len but rather the L2 header of the particular packet. For example, ARPHRD_NONE tunnels that encapsulate Ethernet should get at least the Ethernet header.

Use a hole in the structure. We support only Ethernet so far and will add a support for L2-less packets shortly. We could use a bool to indicate whether the Ethernet header is present or not but the approach with the mac_proto field is more generic and occupies the same number of bytes in the struct, while allowing later extensibility. It also makes the code in the next patches more self explaining. It would be nice to use ARPHRD_ constants but those are u16 which would be waste. Thus define our own constants. Another upside of this is that we can overload this new field to also denote whether the flow key is valid. This has the advantage that on refragmentation, we don't have to reparse the packet but can rely on the stored eth.type. This is especially important for the next patches in this series - instead of adding another branch for L2-less packets before calling ovs_fragment, we can just remove all those branches completely.

On tx, use hard_header_len while deciding whether to refragment or drop the packet. That way, all combinations are calculated correctly: * L2 packet going to L2 interface (the L2 header len is subtracted), * L2 packet going to L3 interface (the L2 header is included in the packet lenght), * L3 packet going to L3 interface.

Commit 67f8b1dc ("net/mlx4_en: Refactor the XDP forwarding rings scheme") added a bug in that the prog's reference count is not dropped in the error path when mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources() is failing from mlx4_xdp_set(). We previously took bpf_prog_add(prog, priv->rx_ring_num - 1), that we need to release again. Earlier in the call path, dev_change_xdp_fd() itself holds a reference to the prog as well (hence the '- 1' in the bpf_prog_add()), so a simple atomic_sub() is safe to use here. When an error is propagated, then bpf_prog_put() is called eventually from dev_change_xdp_fd() Fixes: 67f8b1dc ("net/mlx4_en: Refactor the XDP forwarding rings scheme") Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Acked-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

In current scenario, when the interface is disabled we reset the XGMAC RX/TX functionality. This operation does not affects the PHY layer/SFP and which appears UP to the remote end(this behaviour is unlike GMAC). The result is remote end keeps on sending the packets which gets partly processed by XMAC and dropped. Since these are partly processed these appears as errored packets in the packet counter statistics. This patch fixes this behaviour and adds local-fault and remote-fault functionality which can be used to intimate the remote peer whenever the state of the interface changes. This patch also removes the existing hns_dsaf_xge_core_srst_by_port function which was being used to reset the RX/TX functionality at XGE Core.

Richard Cochran says: ==================== PHC frequency fine tuning This series expands the PTP Hardware Clock subsystem by adding a method that passes the frequency tuning word to the the drivers without dropping the low order bits. Keeping those bits is useful for drivers whose frequency resolution is higher than 1 ppb. The appended script (below) runs a simple demonstration of the improvement. This test needs two Intel i210 PCIe cards installed in the same PC, with their SDP0 pins connected by copper wire. Measuring the estimated offset (from the ptp4l servo) and the true offset (from the PPS) over one hour yields the following statistics. | | Est. Before | Est. After | True Before | True After | |--------+---------------+---------------+---------------+---------------| | min | -5.200000e+01 | -1.600000e+01 | -3.100000e+01 | -1.000000e+00 | | max | +5.700000e+01 | +2.500000e+01 | +8.500000e+01 | +4.000000e+01 | | pk-pk: | +1.090000e+02 | +4.100000e+01 | +1.160000e+02 | +4.100000e+01 | | mean | +6.472222e-02 | +1.277778e-02 | +2.422083e+01 | +1.826083e+01 | | stddev | +1.158006e+01 | +4.581982e+00 | +1.207708e+01 | +4.981435e+00 | Here the numbers in units of nanoseconds, and the ~20 nanosecond PPS offset is due to input/output delays on the i210's external interface logic. With the series applied, both the peak to peak error and the standard deviation improve by a factor of more than two. These two graphs show the improvement nicely. http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/fine-tuning/fine-est.png http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/fine-tuning/fine-tru.png ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

The internal PTP Hardware Clock (PHC) interface limits the resolution for frequency adjustments to one part per billion. However, some hardware devices allow finer adjustment, and making use of the increased resolution improves synchronization measurably on such devices. This patch adds an alternative method that allows finer frequency tuning by passing the scaled ppm value to PHC drivers. This value comes from user space, and it has a resolution of about 0.015 ppb. We also deprecate the older method, anticipating its removal once existing drivers have been converted over.

Option CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_HMAC exists for HMAC support (which requires crypto dependencies). - Replace "hidden" calls to mutex_{un,}lock to direct calls. - Fix reverse xmas tree coding style. - Fix cast-from-void*'s. - Update skb->csum to account for SR modifications. - Add dst_cache in seg6_output. Segment Routing (SR) is a source routing paradigm, architecturally defined in draft-ietf-spring-segment-routing-09 [1]. The IPv6 flavor of SR is defined in draft-ietf-6man-segment-routing-header-02 [2]. The main idea is that an SR-enabled packet contains a list of segments, which represent mandatory waypoints. Each waypoint is called a segment endpoint. The SR-enabled packet is routed normally (e.g. shortest path) between the segment endpoints. A node that inserts an SRH into a packet is called an ingress node, and a node that is the last segment endpoint is called an egress node. From an IPv6 viewpoint, an SR-enabled packet contains an IPv6 extension header, which is a Routing Header type 4, defined as follows: struct ipv6_sr_hdr { __u8 nexthdr; __u8 hdrlen; __u8 type; __u8 segments_left; __u8 first_segment; __u8 flag_1; __u8 flag_2; __u8 reserved; struct in6_addr segments[0]; }; The first 4 bytes of the SRH is consistent with the Routing Header definition in RFC 2460. The type is set to `4' (SRH). Each segment is encoded as an IPv6 address. The segments are encoded in reverse order: segments[0] is the last segment of the path, and segments[first_segment] is the first segment of the path. segments[segments_left] points to the currently active segment and segments_left is decremented at each segment endpoint. There exist two ways for a packet to receive an SRH, we call them encap mode and inline mode. In the encap mode, the packet is encapsulated in an outer IPv6 header that contains the SRH. The inner (original) packet is not modified. A virtual tunnel is thus created between the ingress node (the node that encapsulates) and the egress node (the last segment of the path). Once an encapsulated SR packet reaches the egress node, the node decapsulates the packet and performs a routing decision on the inner packet. This kind of SRH insertion is intended to use for routers that encapsulates in-transit packet. The second SRH insertion method, the inline mode, acts by directly inserting the SRH right after the IPv6 header of the original packet. For this method, if a particular flag (SR6_FLAG_CLEANUP) is set, then the penultimate segment endpoint must strip the SRH from the packet before forwarding it to the last segment endpoint. This insertion method is intended to use for endhosts, however it is also used for in-transit packets by some industry actors. Note that directly inserting extension headers may break several mechanisms such as Path MTU Discovery, IPSec AH, etc. For this reason, this insertion method is only available if CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6_INLINE is enabled. Finally, the SRH may contain TLVs after the segments list. Several types of TLVs are defined, but we currently consider only the HMAC TLV. This TLV is an answer to the deprecation of the RH0 and enables to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the SRH. The HMAC text contains the flags, the first_segment index, the full list of segments, and the source address of the packet. While SR is intended to use mostly within a single administrative domain, the HMAC TLV allows to verify SR packets coming from an untrusted source. This patches series implements support for the IPv6 flavor of SR and is logically divided into the following components: (1) Data plane support (patch 01). This patch adds a function in net/ipv6/exthdrs.c to handle the Routing Header type 4. It enables the kernel to act as a segment endpoint, by supporting the following operations: decrementation of the segments_left field, cleanup flag support (removal of the SRH if we are the penultimate segment endpoint) and decapsulation of the inner packet as an egress node. (2) Control plane support (patches 02..03 and 07..09). These patches enables to insert SRH on locally emitted and/or forwarded packets, both with encap mode and with inline mode. The SRH insertion is controlled through the lightweight tunnels mechanism. Furthermore, patch 08 enables the applications to insert an SRH on a per-socket basis, through the setsockopt() system call. The mechanism to specify a per-socket Routing Header was already defined for RH0 and no special modification was performed on this side. However, the code to actually push the RH onto the packets had to be adapted for the SRH specifications. (3) HMAC support (patches 04..06). These patches adds the support of the HMAC TLV verification for the dataplane part, and generation for the control plane part. Two hashing algorithms are supported (SHA-1 as legacy and SHA-256 as required by the IETF draft), but additional algorithms can be easily supported by simply adding an entry into an array.
