2021-02-15net: phy: rename PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT to PHY_MAC_INTERRUPTHeiner Kallweit
Some internal PHY's have their events like link change reported by the MAC interrupt. We have PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT to deal with this scenario. I'm not too happy with this name. We don't ignore interrupts, typically there is no interrupt exposed at a PHY level. So let's rename it to PHY_MAC_INTERRUPT. This is in line with phy_mac_interrupt(), which is called from the MAC interrupt handler to handle PHY events.

2021-02-11net: ti: am65-cpsw-nuss: Add devlink supportVignesh Raghavendra
AM65 NUSS ethernet switch on K3 devices can be configured to work either in independent mac mode where each port acts as independent network interface (multi mac) or switch mode. Add devlink hooks to provide a way to switch b/w these modes. Rationale to use devlink instead of defaulting to bridge mode is that SoC use cases require to support multiple independent MAC ports with no switching so that users can use software bridges with multi-mac configuration (e.g: to support LAG, HSR/PRP, etc). Also, switching between multi mac and switch mode requires significant Port and ALE reconfiguration, therefore is easier to be made as part of mode change devlink hooks. It also allows to keep user interface similar to what was implemented for the previous generation of TI CPSW IP (on AM33/AM43/AM57 SoCs).

2021-02-11net: hsr: add offloading supportGeorge McCollister
Add support for offloading of HSR/PRP (IEC 62439-3) tag insertion tag removal, duplicate generation and forwarding. For HSR, insertion involves the switch adding a 6 byte HSR header after the 14 byte Ethernet header. For PRP it adds a 6 byte trailer. Tag removal involves automatically stripping the HSR/PRP header/trailer in the switch. This is possible when the switch also performs auto deduplication using the HSR/PRP header/trailer (making it no longer required). Forwarding involves automatically forwarding between redundant ports in an HSR. This is crucial because delay is accumulated as a frame passes through each node in the ring. Duplication involves the switch automatically sending a single frame from the CPU port to both redundant ports. This is required because the inserted HSR/PRP header/trailer must contain the same sequence number on the frames sent out both redundant ports. Export is_hsr_master so DSA can tell them apart from other devices in dsa_slave_changeupper.

2021-02-06net: dsa: automatically bring up DSA master when opening user portVladimir Oltean
DSA wants the master interface to be open before the user port is due to historical reasons. The promiscuity of interfaces that are down used to have issues, as referenced Lennert Buytenhek in commit df02c6ff2e39 ("dsa: fix master interface allmulti/promisc handling"). The bugfix mentioned there, commit b6c40d68ff64 ("net: only invoke dev->change_rx_flags when device is UP"), was basically a "don't do that" approach to working around the promiscuity while down issue. Further work done by Vlad Yasevich in commit d2615bf45069 ("net: core: Always propagate flag changes to interfaces") has resolved the underlying issue, and it is strictly up to the DSA and 8021q drivers now, it is no longer mandated by the networking core that the master interface must be up when changing its promiscuity. From DSA's point of view, deciding to error out in dsa_slave_open because the master isn't up is (a) a bad user experience and (b) knocking at an open door. Even if there still was an issue with promiscuity while down, DSA could still just open the master and avoid it. Doing it this way has the additional benefit that user space can now remove DSA-specific workarounds, like systemd-networkd with BindCarrier: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/7478 And we can finally remove one of the 2 bullets in the "Common pitfalls using DSA setups" chapter.

2021-02-03ethtool: Extend link modes settings uAPI with lanesDanielle Ratson
Currently, when auto negotiation is on, the user can advertise all the linkmodes which correspond to a specific speed, but does not have a similar selector for the number of lanes. This is significant when a specific speed can be achieved using different number of lanes. For example, 2x50 or 4x25. Add 'ETHTOOL_A_LINKMODES_LANES' attribute and expand 'struct ethtool_link_settings' with lanes field in order to implement a new lanes-selector that will enable the user to advertise a specific number of lanes as well. When auto negotiation is off, lanes parameter can be forced only if the driver supports it. Add a capability bit in 'struct ethtool_ops' that allows ethtool know if the driver can handle the lanes parameter when auto negotiation is off, so if it does not, an error message will be returned when trying to set lanes. Example: $ ethtool -s swp1 lanes 4 $ ethtool swp1 Settings for swp1: Supported ports: [ FIBRE ] Supported link modes: 1000baseKX/Full 10000baseKR/Full 40000baseCR4/Full 40000baseSR4/Full 40000baseLR4/Full 25000baseCR/Full 25000baseSR/Full 50000baseCR2/Full 100000baseSR4/Full 100000baseCR4/Full Supported pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 40000baseCR4/Full 40000baseSR4/Full 40000baseLR4/Full 100000baseSR4/Full 100000baseCR4/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: Unknown!

2021-02-02net: ipv6: Emit notification when fib hardware flags are changedAmit Cohen
After installing a route to the kernel, user space receives an acknowledgment, which means the route was installed in the kernel, but not necessarily in hardware. The asynchronous nature of route installation in hardware can lead to a routing daemon advertising a route before it was actually installed in hardware. This can result in packet loss or mis-routed packets until the route is installed in hardware. It is also possible for a route already installed in hardware to change its action and therefore its flags. For example, a host route that is trapping packets can be "promoted" to perform decapsulation following the installation of an IPinIP/VXLAN tunnel. Emit RTM_NEWROUTE notifications whenever RTM_F_OFFLOAD/RTM_F_TRAP flags are changed. The aim is to provide an indication to user-space (e.g., routing daemons) about the state of the route in hardware. Introduce a sysctl that controls this behavior. Keep the default value at 0 (i.e., do not emit notifications) for several reasons: - Multiple RTM_NEWROUTE notification per-route might confuse existing routing daemons. - Convergence reasons in routing daemons. - The extra notifications will negatively impact the insertion rate. - Not all users are interested in these notifications.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5 subfunction support Parav Pandit says: This patchset introduces support for mlx5 subfunction (SF). A subfunction is a lightweight function that has a parent PCI function on which it is deployed. mlx5 subfunction has its own function capabilities and its own resources. This means a subfunction has its own dedicated queues(txq, rxq, cq, eq). These queues are neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function. When subfunction is RDMA capable, it has its own QP1, GID table and rdma resources neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function. A subfunction has dedicated window in PCI BAR space that is not shared with the other subfunctions or parent PCI function. This ensures that all class devices of the subfunction accesses only assigned PCI BAR space. A Subfunction supports eswitch representation through which it supports tc offloads. User must configure eswitch to send/receive packets from/to subfunction port. Subfunctions share PCI level resources such as PCI MSI-X IRQs with their other subfunctions and/or with its parent PCI function. Subfunction support is discussed in detail in RFC [1] and [2]. RFC [1] and extension [2] describes requirements, design and proposed plumbing using devlink, auxiliary bus and sysfs for systemd/udev support. Functionality of this patchset is best explained using real examples further below. overview: -------- A subfunction can be created and deleted by a user using devlink port add/delete interface. A subfunction can be configured using devlink port function attribute before its activated. When a subfunction is activated, it results in an auxiliary device on the host PCI device where it is deployed. A driver binds to the auxiliary device that further creates supported class devices. example subfunction usage sequence: ----------------------------------- Change device to switchdev mode: $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev Add a devlink port of subfunction flavour: $ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88 Configure mac address of the port function: $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 Now activate the function: $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state active Now use the auxiliary device and class devices: $ devlink dev show pci/0000:06:00.0 auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4 $ ip link show 127: ens2f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 24:8a:07:b3:d1:12 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enp6s0f0np0 129: p0sf88: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:00:00:00:88:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ rdma dev show 43: rdmap6s0f0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 44: mlx5_0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 0000:00ff:fe00:8888 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 After use inactivate the function: $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state inactive Now delete the subfunction port: $ devlink port del ens2f0npf0sf88 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200519092258.GF4655@nanopsycho/ [2] https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=158555928517777&w=2 ================= * tag 'mlx5-updates-2021-01-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux: net/mlx5: Add devlink subfunction port documentation devlink: Extend devlink port documentation for subfunctions devlink: Add devlink port documentation net/mlx5: SF, Port function state change support net/mlx5: SF, Add port add delete functionality net/mlx5: E-switch, Add eswitch helpers for SF vport net/mlx5: E-switch, Prepare eswitch to handle SF vport net/mlx5: SF, Add auxiliary device driver net/mlx5: SF, Add auxiliary device support net/mlx5: Introduce vhca state event notifier devlink: Support get and set state of port function devlink: Support add and delete devlink port devlink: Introduce PCI SF port flavour and port attribute devlink: Prepare code to fill multiple port function attributes ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210122193658.282884-1-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2021-01-26net: allow user to set metric on default route learned via Router AdvertisementPraveen Chaudhary
For IPv4, default route is learned via DHCPv4 and user is allowed to change metric using config etc/network/interfaces. But for IPv6, default route can be learned via RA, for which, currently a fixed metric value 1024 is used. Ideally, user should be able to configure metric on default route for IPv6 similar to IPv4. This patch adds sysctl for the same. Logs: For IPv4: Config in etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp metric 4261413864 IPv4 Kernel Route Table: $ ip route list default via 172.21.47.1 dev eth0 metric 4261413864 FRR Table, if a static route is configured: [In real scenario, it is useful to prefer BGP learned default route over DHCPv4 default route.] Codes: K - kernel route, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, O - OSPF, I - IS-IS, B - BGP, P - PIM, E - EIGRP, N - NHRP, T - Table, v - VNC, V - VNC-Direct, A - Babel, D - SHARP, > - selected route, * - FIB route S>* 0.0.0.0/0 [20/0] is directly connected, eth0, 00:00:03 K 0.0.0.0/0 [254/1000] via 172.21.47.1, eth0, 6d08h51m i.e. User can prefer Default Router learned via Routing Protocol in IPv4. Similar behavior is not possible for IPv6, without this fix.

2021-01-22mlxsw: Register physical ports as a devlink resourceDanielle Ratson
The switch ASIC has a limited capacity of physical ('flavour physical' in devlink terminology) ports that it can support. While each system is brought up with a different number of ports, this number can be increased via splitting up to the ASIC's limit. Expose physical ports as a devlink resource so that user space will have visibility to the maximum number of ports that can be supported and the current occupancy. In addition, add a "Generic Resources" section in devlink-resource documentation so the different drivers will be aligned by the same resource name when exposing to user space.

2021-01-22net/mlx5: SF, Add auxiliary device supportParav Pandit
Introduce API to add and delete an auxiliary device for an SF. Each SF has its own dedicated window in the PCI BAR 2. SF device is similar to PCI PF and VF that supports multiple class of devices such as net, rdma and vdpa. SF device will be added or removed in subsequent patch during SF devlink port function state change command. A subfunction device exposes user supplied subfunction number which will be further used by systemd/udev to have deterministic name for its netdevice and rdma device. An mlx5 subfunction auxiliary device example: $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/65535: type eth netdev ens2f0np0 flavour physical port 0 splittable false $ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88 pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth6 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached $ devlink port show ens2f0npf0sf88 pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state inactive opstate detached $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state active On activation, $ ls -l /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/ mlx5_core.sf.4 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:06:00.0/mlx5_core.sf.4 $ cat /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/mlx5_core.sf.4/sfnum 88 Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Vu Pham <vuhuong@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
