Introduce stats_update callback. netdev driver could call it for offloaded actions to update the basic statistics (packets, bytes and last use). Since bstats_update() and bstats_cpu_update() use skb as an argument to get the counters, _bstats_update() and _bstats_cpu_update(), that get bytes and packets as arguments, were added.

Paul Durrant says: ==================== xen-netback: support for control ring My recent patch to import an up-to-date include/xen/interface/io/netif.h from the Xen Project brought in the necessary definitions to support the new control shared ring and protocol. This patch series updates xen-netback to support the new ring. Patch #1 adds the necessary boilerplate to map the control ring and handle messages. No implementation of the new protocol is included in this patch so that it can be kept to a reasonable size. Patch #2 adds the protocol implementation. Patch #3 adds support for passing has values calculated by xen-netback to capable frontends. Patch #4 adds support for accepting hash values calculated by capable frontends and using them the set the socket buffer hash. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

My recent patch to include/xen/interface/io/netif.h defines a new extra info type that can be used to pass hash values between backend and guest frontend. This patch adds code to xen-netback to use the value in a hash extra info fragment passed from the guest frontend in a transmit-side (i.e. netback receive side) packet to set the skb hash accordingly.

Sridhar Samudrala says: ==================== Enable SW only or HW only offloads with u32 classifier This set of patches export TCA_CLS_FLAGS_SKIP_HW to userspace and also introduces another flag TCA_CLS_FLAGS_SKIP_SW. These flags enable offloading u32 filters to either SW or HW only. The default semantics with no flags is to add the filter to HW if possible and also into SW. With SKIP_HW flag, the filter is only added to SW. With SKIP_SW flag, the filter is added to HW and an error is returned to user on failure. These flags are mutually exclusive. There was an earlier discussion on these semantics in the following email thread. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/401733 ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Samudrala, Sridhar authored
On devices that support TC U32 offloads, this flag enables a filter to be added only to HW. skip-sw and skip-hw are mutually exclusive flags. By default without any flags, the filter is added to both HW and SW, but no error checks are done in case of failure to add to HW. With skip-sw, failure to add to HW is treated as an error. Here is a sample script that adds 2 filters, one with skip-sw and the other with skip-hw flag. # add ingress qdisc tc qdisc add dev p4p1 ingress # enable hw tc offload. ethtool -K p4p1 hw-tc-offload on # add u32 filter with skip-sw flag. tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \ handle 800:0:1 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:1 \ skip-sw \ match ip src 192.168.1.0/24 \ action drop # add u32 filter with skip-hw flag. tc filter add dev p4p1 parent ffff: protocol ip prio 99 \ handle 800:0:2 u32 ht 800: flowid 800:2 \ skip-hw \ match ip src 192.168.2.0/24 \ action drop Signed-off-by: Sridhar Samudrala <sridhar.samudrala@intel.com> Acked-by: John Fastabend <john.r.fastabend@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vitaly Kuznetsov says: ==================== hv_netvsc: avoid races on mtu change/set channels Changes since v1: - Rebased to net-next [Haiyang Zhang] Original description: MTU change and set channels operations are implemented as netvsc device re-creation destroying internal structures (struct net_device stays). This is really unfortunate but there is no support from Hyper-V host to do it in a different way. Such re-creation is unsurprisingly racy, Haiyang reported a crash when netvsc_change_mtu() is racing with netvsc_link_change() but I was able to identify additional races upon investigation. Both netvsc_set_channels() and netvsc_change_mtu() race against: 1) netvsc_link_change() 2) netvsc_remove() 3) netvsc_send() To solve these issues without introducing new locks some refactoring is required. We need to get rid of very complex link graph in all the internal structures and avoid traveling through structures which are being removed. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Crash in netvsc_send() is observed when netvsc device is re-created on mtu change/set channels. The crash is caused by dereferencing of NULL channel pointer which comes from chn_table. The root cause is a mixture of two facts: - we set nvdev pointer in net_device_context in alloc_net_device() before we populate chn_table. - we populate chn_table[0] only. The issue could be papered over by checking channel != NULL in netvsc_send() but populating the whole chn_table and writing the nvdev pointer afterwards seems more appropriate.

Vitaly Kuznetsov authored
We have the following structures keeping netvsc adapter state: - struct net_device - struct net_device_context - struct netvsc_device - struct rndis_device - struct hv_device and there are pointers/dependencies between them: - struct net_device_context is contained in struct net_device - struct hv_device has driver_data pointer which points to 'struct net_device' OR 'struct netvsc_device' depending on driver's state (!). - struct net_device_context has a pointer to 'struct hv_device'. - struct netvsc_device has pointers to 'struct hv_device' and 'struct net_device_context'. - struct rndis_device has a pointer to 'struct netvsc_device'. Different functions get different structures as parameters and use these pointers for traveling. The problem is (in addition to keeping in mind this complex graph) that some of these structures (struct netvsc_device and struct rndis_device) are being removed and re-created on mtu change (as we implement it as re-creation of hyper-v device) so our travel using these pointers is dangerous. Simplify this to a the following: - add struct netvsc_device pointer to struct net_device_context (which is a part of struct net_device and thus never disappears) - remove struct hv_device and struct net_device_context pointers from struct netvsc_device - replace pointer to 'struct netvsc_device' with pointer to 'struct net_device'. - always keep 'struct net_device' in hv_device driver_data. We'll end up with the following 'circular' structure: net_device: [net_device_context] -> netvsc_device -> rndis_device -> net_device -> hv_device -> net_device On MTU change we'll be removing the 'netvsc_device -> rndis_device' branch and re-creating it making the synchronization easier. There is one additional redundant pointer left, it is struct net_device link in struct netvsc_device, it is going to be removed in a separate commit.

netvsc_link_change() can race with netvsc_change_mtu() or netvsc_set_channels() as these functions destroy struct netvsc_device and rndis filter. Use start_remove flag for syncronization. As netvsc_change_mtu()/netvsc_set_channels() are called with rtnl lock held we need to take it before checking start_remove value in netvsc_link_change().

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-05-14 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf. Kevin adds support to disable link on all ports and changes bits set for telling firmware the PHY needs to be modified by the driver. Anjali adds a feature to enable/disable all multicast for a trusted VF. Added priv-flag knob to configure global true promiscuous support. Shannon adds the support code for calling the admin queue API call aq_set_switch_config(). Mitch modifies the VF, to log a message if an untrusted VF attempts to configure promiscuous mode, but lies to it and returns everything is ok instead of returning an error. Corrects the logic for reporting the receive packet hash. Fixed the adding of a broadcast filter for VFs, since that all VSIs are configured to receive broadcasts as default, so do not need to add a filter. Catherine refactors the ethtool get_settings to report the possible supported link modes from what we know about the current PHY type and that with the firmware supported PHY types. Jacob changes the driver to use WARN_ONCE in order to highlight the issue, but do not display a warning every time when receive hang message is received. Akeem corrects receive ptype payload layer for non_tunneled IPv6, when it should be layer 4 for UDP, instead of layer 3.

The current code is more complicated than necessary and can only report unsupported SFP+ module if it is plugged in after the device is up. Rename bnxt_port_module_event() to bnxt_get_port_module_status(). We already have the current module_status in the link_info structure, so just check that and report any unsupported SFP+ module status. Delete the unnecessary last_port_module_event.

The current code has 2 problems: 1. The maximum wait time is not long enough. It is about 60% of the duration specified by the firmware. It is calling usleep_range(600, 800) for every 1 msec we are supposed to wait. 2. The granularity of the delay is too coarse. Many simple firmware commands finish in 25 usec or less. We fix these 2 issues by multiplying the original 1 msec loop counter by 40 and calling usleep_range(25, 40) for each iteration. There is also a second delay loop to wait for the last DMA word to complete. This delay loop should be a very short 5 usec wait. This change results in much faster bring-up/down time: Before the patch: time ip link set p4p1 up real 0m0.120s user 0m0.001s sys 0m0.009s After the patch: time ip link set p4p1 up real 0m0.030s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.010s Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Currently, when creating or updating a route, no check is performed in both ipv4 and ipv6 code to the hoplimit value. The caller can i.e. set hoplimit to 256, and when such route will be used, packets will be sent with hoplimit/ttl equal to 0. This commit adds checks for the RTAX_HOPLIMIT value, in both ipv4 ipv6 route code, substituting any value greater than 255 with 255. This is consistent with what is currently done for ADVMSS and MTU in the ipv4 code. Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Just use a 64-bit counter instead of the pointer to the 'net' structure to generate a unique name.
