Dave Miller pointed out that fb586f25 ("sctp: delay calls to sk_data_ready() as much as possible") may insert latency specially if the receiving application is running on another CPU and that it would be better if we signalled as early as possible. This patch thus basically inverts the logic on fb586f25 and signals it as early as possible, similar to what we had before. Fixes: fb586f25 ("sctp: delay calls to sk_data_ready() as much as possible") Reported-by:

Since commit b74766a0 ("phylib: don't return NULL from get_phy_device()") in linux-next, phy_get_device() will return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) instead of NULL if the PHY device ID is all ones. This causes problem with stmmac driver and likely some other drivers which call mdiobus_register(). I triggered this bug on SoCFPGA MCVEVK board with linux-next 20160427 and 20160428. In case of the stmmac, if there is no PHY node specified in the DT for the stmmac block, the stmmac driver ( drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_mdio.c function stmmac_mdio_register() ) will call mdiobus_register() , which will register the MDIO bus and probe for the PHY. The mdiobus_register() resp. __mdiobus_register() iterates over all of the addresses on the MDIO bus and calls mdiobus_scan() for each of them, which invokes get_phy_device(). Before the aforementioned patch, the mdiobus_scan() would return NULL if no PHY was found on a given address and mdiobus_register() would continue and try the next PHY address. Now, mdiobus_scan() returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), which is caught by the 'if (IS_ERR(phydev))' condition and the loop exits immediately if the PHY address does not contain PHY. Repair this by explicitly checking for the ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and if this error comes around, continue with the next PHY address. Signed-off-by:

When we are displaying statistics for the first link established between two peers, it will always be presented as STANDBY although it in reality is ACTIVE. This happens because we forget to set the 'active' flag in the link instance at the moment it is established. Although this is a bug, it only has impact on the presentation view of the link, not on its actual functionality. Signed-off-by:

Add a check whether the 'struct device_node' pointer passed to of_mdiobus_register() is an available (aka enabled) node in the Device Tree. Rationale for doing this are cases where an Ethernet MAC provides a MDIO bus controller and node, and an additional Ethernet MAC might be connecting its PHY/switches to that first MDIO bus controller, while still embedding one internally which is therefore marked as "disabled". Instead of sprinkling checks like these in callers of of_mdiobus_register(), do this in a central location. Reviewed-by:

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== Mellanox 100G mlx5 ethernet aRFS support This series adds accelerated RFS support for the mlx5e driver. I have added one patch non-related to aRFS that fixes the rtnl_lock warning mlx5 driver been getting since b7aade15 ('vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers') aRFS support in details: A direct TIR per RQ is now required in order to have the essential building blocks for aRFS. Today the driver has one direct TIR that forwards traffic to RQ[0] (core 0), and one indirect TIR for RSS indirection table. For that we've added one direct TIR per RQ, e.g.: TIR[i] -> RQ[i] (core i). Publicize Modify flow rule destination and reveal it in flow steering API, to have the ability to dynamically modify the destination TIR(core) for aRFS rules from the ethernet driver. Initializing CPU reverse mapping to notify upper layer on internal receive queue cpu mappings. Some design refactoring for mlx5e ethernet driver flow tables and flow steering API. Now the caller of create_flow_table can choose the level of the flow table, this way we will create the mlx5e flow tables in a reversed order and connect them as we go, we create flow table[i+1] before flow table[i] to be able to set flow table[i + 1] as a destination of flow table[i] once flow table[i] is created. also we have split the main flow table in the following manner: - From before: RX packet had to visit two flow tables until it is delivered to its receive queue: RX packet -> vlan filter flow table -> main flow table. > vlan filter will check the packet vlan field is allowed. > main flow will check if the dest mac is allowed and will check the l3/l4 headers to retrieve the RSS hash for steering the packet into its final receive queue. - Now main flow table is split into l2 dst mac steering table and ttc (traffic type classifier) table: RX packet -> vlan filter -> l2 table -> ttc table > vlan filter - same as before > L2 filter - filter packets according their destination mac address > ttc table - classify packet headers for RSS steering - L3/L4 classification rules to steer the packet according to thier headers hash - in case of none of the rules applies the packet is steered to RQ[0] After the above refactoring all left to-do is to create aRFS flow table which will manage aRFS steering rules to forward traffic to the desired RQ (core) and just connect the ttc table rules destinations to aRFS flow table. aRFS flow table in case of a miss will deliver the traffic to the core where the original ttc hash would have chosen. TTC table is not initialized and enabled until the user explicitly asks to, i.e. setting the NETIF_F_NTUPLE to ON. This way there is no need for ttc table to forward traffic to aRFS table unless required. When setting back to OFF aRFS flow table is disabled and disconnected. ==================== Signed-off-by:

Accelerated RFS requires that ntuple filtering is enabled via ethtool and driver supports ndo_rx_flow_steer. When the ntuple filtering is enabled, we modify the l3_l4 ttc rules to point on the aRFS flow tables and when the filtering is disabled, we modify the l3_l4 ttc rules to point on the RSS TIRs.

Implement ndo_rx_flow_steer ndo. A new flow steering rule will be composed from the skb 4-tuple and added to the hardware aRFS flow table. Each rule is stored in an internal hash table, if such skb 4-tuple rule already exists we update the corresponding hardware steering rule with the new destination. For garbage collection rps_may_expire_flow will be invoked for a limited amount of old rules upon any ndo_rx_flow_steer invocation. Signed-off-by:

Create the following four flow tables for aRFS usage: 1. IPv4 TCP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv4 TCP packets. 2. IPv6 TCP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv6 TCP packets. 3. IPv4 UDP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv4 UDP packets. 4. IPv6 UDP - filtering 4-tuple of IPv6 UDP packets. Each flow table has two flow groups: one for the 4-tuple filtering (full match) and the other contains * rule for miss rule. Full match rule means a hit for aRFS and packet will be forwarded to the dedicated RQ/Core, miss rule packets will be forwarded to default RSS hashing. Signed-off-by:

Currently, the main flow table is used for two purposes: One is to do mac filtering and the other is to classify the packet l3-l4 header in order to steer the packet to the right RSS TIR. This design is very complex, for each configured mac address we have to add eleven rules (rule for each traffic type), the same if the device is put to promiscuous/allmulti mode. This scheme isn't scalable for future features like aRFS. In order to simplify it, the main flow table is split to two flow tables: 1. l2 table - filter the packet dmac address, if there is a match we forward to the ttc flow table. 2. TTC (Traffic Type Classifier) table - classify the traffic type of the packet and steer the packet to the right TIR. In this new design, when new mac address is added, the driver adds only one flow rule instead of eleven. Signed-off-by:

Currently, consumers of the flow steering infrastructure can't choose their own flow table levels and are limited to one flow table per level. This just waste levels. Instead, we introduce here the possibility to use multiple flow tables in a level. The user is free to connect these flow tables, while following the rule (FTEs in FT of level x could only point to FTs of level y where y > x). In addition this patch switch the order of the create/destroy flow tables of the NIC(vlan and main). Signed-off-by:

Refactors the flow steering namespace creation, by changing the name num_fts to num_levels. When new flow table is created, the driver assign new level to this flow table therefore the meaning is equivalent. Since downstream patches will introduce the ability to create more than one flow table per level, the name num_fts is no longer accurate. Signed-off-by:

Introduce new TIRs for direct access per RQ. Now we have 2 available kinds of TIRs: - indirect TIR per traffic type, each points to one RQT (RSS RQT) same as before. - New direct TIR per RQ, each points to RQT with a size of one that forwards packets to that RQ only. Driver will open max channels (num cores) direct TIRs by default, they will be filled with the actual RQs once channels are allocated.

Guillaume Nault says: ==================== ppp: add rtnetlink support PPP devices lack the ability to be customised at creation time. In particular they can't be created in a given netns or with a particular name. Moving or renaming the device after creation is possible, but creates undesirable transient effects on servers where PPP devices are constantly created and removed, as users connect and disconnect. Implementing rtnetlink support solves this problem. The rtnetlink handlers implemented in this series are minimal, and can only replace the PPPIOCNEWUNIT ioctl. The rest of PPP ioctls remains necessary for any other operation on channels and units. It is perfectly possible to mix PPP devices created by rtnl and by ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). Devices will behave in the same way. mutex_trylock() is used to resolve the locking issue wrt. locking dependency between rtnl_lock() and ppp_mutex (see ppp_nl_newlink() in patch #2). A user visible difference brought by this series is that old PPP interfaces (those created with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT)), can now be removed by "ip link del", just like new rtnl based PPP devices. Changes since v3: - Rebase on net-next. - Not an RFC anymore. Changes since v2: - Define ->rtnl_link_ops for ioctl based PPP devices, so they can handle rtnl messages just like rtnl based ones (suggested by Stephen Hemminger). - Move back to original lock ordering between ppp_mutex and rtnl_lock to simplify patch series. Handle lock inversion issue using mutex_trylock() (suggested by Stephen Hemminger). - Do file descriptor lookup directly in ppp_nl_newlink(), to simplify ppp_dev_configure(). Changes since v1: - Rebase on net-next. - Invert locking order wrt. ppp_mutex and rtnl_lock and protect file->private_data with ppp_mutex. ==================== Signed-off-by: -
Guillaume Nault authored
Define PPP device handler for use with rtnetlink. The only PPP specific attribute is IFLA_PPP_DEV_FD. It is mandatory and contains the file descriptor of the associated /dev/ppp instance (the file descriptor which would have been used for ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT) in the ioctl-based API). The PPP device is removed when this file descriptor is released (same behaviour as with ioctl based PPP devices). PPP devices created with the rtnetlink API behave like the ones created with ioctl(PPPIOCNEWUNIT). In particular existing ioctls work the same way, no matter how the PPP device was created. The rtnl callbacks are also assigned to ioctl based PPP devices. This way, rtnl messages have the same effect on any PPP devices. The immediate effect is that all PPP devices, even ioctl-based ones, can now be removed with "ip link del". A minor difference still exists between ioctl and rtnl based PPP interfaces: in the device name, the number following the "ppp" prefix corresponds to the PPP unit number for ioctl based devices, while it is just an unrelated incrementing index for rtnl ones.

Move PPP device initialisation and registration out of ppp_create_interface(). This prepares code for device registration with rtnetlink. While there, simplify the prototype of ppp_create_interface(): * Since ppp_dev_configure() takes care of setting file->private_data, there's no need to return a ppp structure to ppp_unattached_ioctl() anymore. * The unit parameter is made read/write so that ppp_create_interface() can tell which unit number has been assigned.

Commit 0c867c9b ("vxlan: move Ethernet initialization to a separate function") changed initialization order and as an unintended result, when the user specifies additional link parameters (such as IFLA_ADDRESS) while creating vxlan interface, those are overwritten by vxlan_ether_setup later. It's necessary to call ether_setup from withing the ->setup callback. That way, the correct parameters are set by rtnl_create_link later. This is done also for VXLAN-GPE, as we don't know the interface type yet at that point, and changed to the correct interface type later.
