Now that the code writes both VTU and STU data when loading a VTU entry, load the corresponding STU entry at the same time. This allows us to get rid of the STU management in the _mv88e6xxx_vtu_new helper and thus remove the separate implementations of STU Load/Purge and STU GetNext, as well as the unused family checks.

Now that the code reads both VTU and STU data on VTU GetNext operation, fetch the STU entry data of a VTU entry at the same time. The STU data bits are masked with the VTU data bits and they are now all read at the same time a VTU GetNext operation is issued.

The code to access the VTU Data registers currently only supports the 88E6185 family and alike: 2-bit membership adjacent to 2-bit port state. Even though the 88E6352 family introduced an indirect table to program the VLAN Spanning Tree states, the usage of the VTU Data registers remains the same regardless the VTU or STU operation. Now that the mv88e6xxx_vtu_entry structure contains both port membership and states data, factorize the code to access them in global1_vtu.c.

Even though every switch model has a different way to access the VTU Data bits, the base implementation of the VTU GetNext operation remains the same: wait, write the first VID to iterate from, start the operation, and read the next VID. Move this generic implementation into global1_vtu.c and abstract the handling of the start VID (similarly to the ATU GetNext implementation), before introducing a new chip operation for specific chips.

VLAN aware Marvell chips can program 802.1Q VLAN membership as well as 802.1s per VLAN Spanning Tree state using the same 3 VTU Data registers. Some chips such as 88E6185 use different Data registers offsets for ports state and membership, and program them in a single operation. Other chips such as 88E6352 use the same register layout but program them in distinct operations (an indirect table is used for 802.1s.) Newer chips such as 88E6390 use the same offsets for both state and membership in distinct operations, thus require multiple data accesses. To correctly abstract this, split the "data" structure member of mv88e6xxx_vtu_entry in two "state" and "member" members, before adding VTU support for newer chips.

Some chips don't have a VLAN Table Unit, most of them do have a 4K table, some others as the 88E6390 family has a 13th bit for the VID. Add a new max_vid member to the info structure, used to check the presence of a VTU as well as the value used to iterate from in VTU GetNext operations.

Current code silently ignores driver errors when configuring IPSec offload xfrm_state, and falls back to host-based crypto.

Inside esp_output_head, the call to esp_output_udp_encap makes sure to update the pointer if it gets invalid.

The IPv6 tunneling code tries to insert IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT and IPV6_TLV_PADN options when an encapsulation limit is defined (the default is a limit of 4). An MTU adjustment is done to account for these options as well. However, the options are never present in the generated packets. The issue appears to be a subtlety between IPV6_DSTOPTS and IPV6_RTHDRDSTOPTS defined in RFC 3542. When the IPIP tunnel driver was written, the encap limit options were included as IPV6_RTHDRDSTOPTS in dst0opt of struct ipv6_txoptions. Later, ipv6_push_nfrags_opts was (correctly) updated to require IPV6_RTHDR options when IPV6_RTHDRDSTOPTS are to be used. This caused the options to no longer be included in v6 encapsulated packets. The fix is to use IPV6_DSTOPTS (in dst1opt of struct ipv6_txoptions) instead. IPV6_DSTOPTS do not have the additional IPV6_RTHDR requirement. Fixes: 1df64a85: ("[IPV6]: Add ip6ip6 tunnel driver.")

When a netdev is enslaved to a VRF master, its router interface (RIF) needs to be destroyed (if exists) and a new one created using the corresponding virtual router (VR). >From the driver's perspective, the above is equivalent to an inetaddr event sent for this netdev. Therefore, when a port netdev (or its uppers) are enslaved to a VRF master, call the same function that would've been called had a NETDEV_UP was sent for this netdev in the inetaddr notification chain. This patch also fixes a bug when a LAG netdev with an existing RIF is enslaved to a VRF. Before this patch, each LAG port would drop the reference on the RIF, but would re-join the same one (in the wrong VR) soon after. With this patch, the corresponding RIF is first destroyed and a new one is created using the correct VR.

mlx5-updates-2017-04-30 Or says: ================ mlx5 neigh update This series (whose code name is 'neigh update') from Hadar, enhances the mlx5 TC IP tunnel offloads to deal with changes to tunnel destination neighbours used in offloaded flows which involved encapsulation. In order to keep track on the validity state of such neighbours, we register a netevent notifier callback and act on NEIGH_UPDATE events: if a neighbour becomes valid, offload the related flows to HW (the other way around when neigh becomes invalid) and similarly when a neigh mac addresses changes. Since this traffic is offloaded from the host OS, the neighbour for the IP tunnel destination can mistakenly become STALE and deleted by the kernel since its 'used' value wasn't changed. To address that, we proactively update the neighbour 'used' value every DELAY_PROBE_TIME seconds, using time stamps generated by the existing driver code for HW flow counters. We use the DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE event to adjust the frequency of the updates. Prior to the core of the series, there's a patch from Saeed that introduces an extendable vport representor implementation scheme. It provides a separation between the eswitch to the netdev related aspects of the representors. We would like to thank Ido Schimmel and Ilya Lesokhin for their coaching && advice through the long design and review cycles while we struggled to understand and (hopefully correctly) implement the locking around the different driver flows(..) . - Or. ================= Misc Updates: From Tariq: Some small performance and trivial code optimization for mlx5 netdev driver - Optimize poll ICOSQ completion queue - Use prefetchw when a write is to follow - Use u8 as ownership type in mlx5e_get_cqe() From Eran: - Disable LRO by default on specific setups From Eli: - Small cleanup for E-Switch to avoid redundant allocation Signed-off-by: David S.

More specifically, they are: 1) Check for ct->status bit instead of using nfct_nat() from IPVS and Netfilter codebase, patch from Florian Westphal. 2) Use kcalloc() wherever possible in the IPVS code, from Varsha Rao. 3) Simplify FTP IPVS helper module registration path, from Arushi Singhal. 4) Introduce nft_is_base_chain() helper function. 5) Enforce expectation limit from userspace conntrack helper, from Gao Feng. 6) Add nf_ct_remove_expect() helper function, from Gao Feng. 7) NAT mangle helper function return boolean, from Gao Feng. 8) ctnetlink_alloc_expect() should only work for conntrack with helpers, from Gao Feng. 9) Add nfnl_msg_type() helper function to nfnetlink to build the netlink message type. 10) Get rid of unnecessary cast on void, from simran singhal. 11) Use seq_puts()/seq_putc() instead of seq_printf() where possible, also from simran singhal. 12) Use list_prev_entry() from nf_tables, from simran signhal. 13) Remove unnecessary & on pointer function in the Netfilter and IPVS code. 14) Remove obsolete comment on set of rules per CPU in ip6_tables, no longer true. From Arushi Singhal. 15) Remove duplicated nf_conntrack_l4proto_udplite4, from Gao Feng. 16) Remove unnecessary nested rcu_read_lock() in __nf_nat_decode_session(). Code running from hooks are already guaranteed to run under RCU read side. 17) Remove deadcode in nf_tables_getobj(), from Aaron Conole. 18) Remove double assignment in nf_ct_l4proto_pernet_unregister_one(), also from Aaron. 19) Get rid of unsed __ip_set_get_netlink(), from Aaron Conole. 20) Don't propagate NF_DROP error to userspace via ctnetlink in __nf_nat_alloc_null_binding() function, from Gao Feng. 21) Revisit nf_ct_deliver_cached_events() to remove unnecessary checks, from Gao Feng. 22) Kill the fake untracked conntrack objects, use ctinfo instead to annotate a conntrack object is untracked, from Florian Westphal. 23) Remove nf_ct_is_untracked(), now obsolete since we have no conntrack template anymore, from Florian. 24) Add event mask support to nft_ct, also from Florian. 25) Move nf_conn_help structure to include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper.h. 26) Add a fixed 32 bytes scratchpad area for conntrack helpers. Thus, we don't deal with variable conntrack extensions anymore. Make sure userspace conntrack helper doesn't go over that size. Remove variable size ct extension infrastructure now this code got no more clients. From Florian Westphal. 27) Restore offset and length of nf_ct_ext structure to 8 bytes now that wraparound is not possible any longer, also from Florian. 28) Allow to get rid of unassured flows under stress in conntrack, this applies to DCCP, SCTP and TCP protocols, from Florian. 29) Shrink size of nf_conntrack_ecache structure, from Florian. 30) Use TCP_MAX_WSCALE instead of hardcoded 14 in TCP tracker, from Gao Feng. 31) Register SYNPROXY hooks on demand, from Florian Westphal. 32) Use pernet hook whenever possible, instead of global hook registration, from Florian Westphal. 33) Pass hook structure to ebt_register_table() to consolidate some infrastructure code, from Florian Westphal. 34) Use consume_skb() and return NF_STOLEN, instead of NF_DROP in the SYNPROXY code, to make sure device stats are not fooled, patch from Gao Feng. 35) Remove NF_CT_EXT_F_PREALLOC this kills quite some code that we don't need anymore if we just select a fixed size instead of expensive runtime time calculation of this. From Florian. 36) Constify nf_ct_extend_register() and nf_ct_extend_unregister(), from Florian. 37) Simplify nf_ct_ext_add(), this kills nf_ct_ext_create(), from Florian. 38) Attach NAT extension on-demand from masquerade and pptp helper path, from Florian. 39) Get rid of useless ip_vs_set_state_timeout(), from Aaron Conole. 40) Speed up netns by selective calls of synchronize_net(), from Florian Westphal. 41) Silence stack size warning gcc in 32-bit arch in snmp helper, from Florian. 42) Inconditionally call nf_ct_ext_destroy(), even if we have no extensions, to deal with the NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC case.

As we propagate extended ack reporting throughout various paths in the kernel it may be that the same function is called with the extended ack parameter passed as NULL. One place where that happens is in drivers which have a centralized reconfiguration function called both from ndos and from ethtool_ops. Add a new helper for setting the error message in such conditions. Existing helper is left as is to encourage propagating the ext act fully wherever possible. It also makes it clear in the code which messages may be lost due to ext ack being NULL.
