2022-02-27docs: net: dsa: sja1105: document limitations of tc-flower rule VLAN awarenessVladimir Oltean
After change "net: dsa: tag_8021q: replace the SVL bridging with VLAN-unaware IVL bridging", tag_8021q enforces two different pvids on a port, depending on whether it is standalone or in a VLAN-unaware bridge. Up until now, there was a single pvid, represented by dsa_tag_8021q_rx_vid(), and that was used as the VLAN for VLAN-unaware virtual link rules, regardless of whether the port was bridged or standalone. To keep VLAN-unaware virtual links working, we need to follow whether the port is in a bridge or not, and update the VLAN ID from those rules. In fact we can't fully do that. Depending on whether the switch is VLAN-aware or not, we can accept Virtual Link rules with just the MAC DA, or with a MAC DA and a VID. So we already deny changes to the VLAN awareness of the switch. But the VLAN awareness may also change as a result of joining or leaving a bridge. One might say we could just allow the following: a port may leave a VLAN-unaware bridge while it has VLAN-unaware VL (tc-flower) rules, and the driver will update those with the new tag_8021q pvid for standalone mode, but the driver won't accept joining a bridge at all while VL rules were installed in standalone mode. This is sort of a compromise made because leaving a bridge is an operation that cannot be vetoed. But this sort of setup change is not fully supported, either: as mentioned, VLAN filtering changes can also be triggered by leaving a bridge, therefore, the existing veto we have in place for turning VLAN filtering off with VLAN-aware VL rules active still isn't fully effective. I really don't know how to deal with this in a way that produces predictable behavior for user space. Since at the moment, keeping this feature fully functional on constellation changes (not changing the tag_8021q port pvid when joining a bridge) is blocking progress for the DSA FDB isolation, I'd rather document it as a (potentially temporary) limitation and go on without it.

2022-02-09mctp: Add SIOCMCTP{ALLOC,DROP}TAG ioctls for tag controlMatt Johnston
This change adds a couple of new ioctls for mctp sockets: SIOCMCTPALLOCTAG and SIOCMCTPDROPTAG. These ioctls provide facilities for explicit allocation / release of tags, overriding the automatic allocate-on-send/release-on-reply and timeout behaviours. This allows userspace more control over messages that may not fit a simple request/response model. In order to indicate a pre-allocated tag to the sendmsg() syscall, we introduce a new flag to the struct sockaddr_mctp.smctp_tag value: MCTP_TAG_PREALLOC.

2022-01-28ethtool: add header/data split indicationJakub Kicinski
For applications running on a mix of platforms it's useful to have a clear indication whether host's NIC supports the geometry requirements of TCP zero-copy. TCP zero-copy Rx requires data to be neatly placed into memory pages. Most NICs can't do that. This patch is adding GET support only, since the NICs I work with either always have the feature enabled or enable it whenever MTU is set to jumbo. In other words I don't need SET. But adding set should be trivial. (The only note on SET is that we will likely want the setting to be "sticky" and use 0 / `unknown` to reset it back to driver default.)

2021-12-15ice: support immediate firmware activation via devlink reloadJacob Keller
The ice hardware contains an embedded chip with firmware which can be updated using devlink flash. The firmware which runs on this chip is referred to as the Embedded Management Processor firmware (EMP firmware). Activating the new firmware image currently requires that the system be rebooted. This is not ideal as rebooting the system can cause unwanted downtime. In practical terms, activating the firmware does not always require a full system reboot. In many cases it is possible to activate the EMP firmware immediately. There are a couple of different scenarios to cover. * The EMP firmware itself can be reloaded by issuing a special update to the device called an Embedded Management Processor reset (EMP reset). This reset causes the device to reset and reload the EMP firmware. * PCI configuration changes are only reloaded after a cold PCIe reset. Unfortunately there is no generic way to trigger this for a PCIe device without a system reboot. When performing a flash update, firmware is capable of responding with some information about the specific update requirements. The driver updates the flash by programming a secondary inactive bank with the contents of the new image, and then issuing a command to request to switch the active bank starting from the next load. The response to the final command for updating the inactive NVM flash bank includes an indication of the minimum reset required to fully update the device. This can be one of the following: * A full power on is required * A cold PCIe reset is required * An EMP reset is required The response to the command to switch flash banks includes an indication of whether or not the firmware will allow an EMP reset request. For most updates, an EMP reset is sufficient to load the new EMP firmware without issues. In some cases, this reset is not sufficient because the PCI configuration space has changed. When this could cause incompatibility with the new EMP image, the firmware is capable of rejecting the EMP reset request. Add logic to ice_fw_update.c to handle the response data flash update AdminQ commands. For the reset level, issue a devlink status notification informing the user of how to complete the update with a simple suggestion like "Activate new firmware by rebooting the system". Cache the status of whether or not firmware will restrict the EMP reset for use in implementing devlink reload. Implement support for devlink reload with the "fw_activate" flag. This allows user space to request the firmware be activated immediately. For the .reload_down handler, we will issue a request for the EMP reset using the appropriate firmware AdminQ command. If we know that the firmware will not allow an EMP reset, simply exit with a suitable netlink extended ACK message indicating that the EMP reset is not available. For the .reload_up handler, simply wait until the driver has finished resetting. Logic to handle processing of an EMP reset already exists in the driver as part of its reset and rebuild flows. Implement support for the devlink reload interface with the "fw_activate" action. This allows userspace to request activation of firmware without a reboot. Note that support for indicating the required reset and EMP reset restriction is not supported on old versions of firmware. The driver can determine if the two features are supported by checking the device capabilities report. I confirmed support has existed since at least version 5.5.2 as reported by the 'fw.mgmt' version. Support to issue the EMP reset request has existed in all version of the EMP firmware for the ice hardware. Check the device capabilities report to determine whether or not the indications are reported by the running firmware. If the reset requirement indication is not supported, always assume a full power on is necessary. If the reset restriction capability is not supported, always assume the EMP reset is available. Users can verify if the EMP reset has activated the firmware by using the devlink info report to check that the 'running' firmware version has updated. For example a user might do the following: # Check current version $ devlink dev info # Update the device $ devlink dev flash pci/0000:af:00.0 file firmware.bin # Confirm stored version updated $ devlink dev info # Reload to activate new firmware $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:af:00.0 action fw_activate # Confirm running version updated $ devlink dev info Finally, this change does *not* implement basic driver-only reload support. I did look into trying to do this. However, it requires significant refactor of how the ice driver probes and loads everything. The ice driver probe and allocation flows were not designed with such a reload in mind. Refactoring the flow to support this is beyond the scope of this change.

2021-11-05net: udp: correct the document for udp_memMenglong Dong
udp_mem is a vector of 3 INTEGERs, which is used to limit the number of pages allowed for queueing by all UDP sockets. However, sk_has_memory_pressure() in __sk_mem_raise_allocated() always return false for udp, as memory pressure is not supported by udp, which means that __sk_mem_raise_allocated() will fail once pages allocated for udp socket exceeds udp_mem[0]. Therefor, udp_mem[0] is the only one that limit the number of pages. However, the document of udp_mem just express that udp_mem[2] is the limitation. So, just fix it.

2021-11-01net: ndisc: introduce ndisc_evict_nocarrier sysctl parameterJames Prestwood
In most situations the neighbor discovery cache should be cleared on a NOCARRIER event which is currently done unconditionally. But for wireless roams the neighbor discovery cache can and should remain intact since the underlying network has not changed. This patch introduces a sysctl option ndisc_evict_nocarrier which can be disabled by a wireless supplicant during a roam. This allows packets to be sent after a roam immediately without having to wait for neighbor discovery. A user reported roughly a 1 second delay after a roam before packets could be sent out (note, on IPv4). This delay was due to the ARP cache being cleared. During testing of this same scenario using IPv6 no delay was noticed, but regardless there is no reason to clear the ndisc cache for wireless roams.

2021-11-01net: arp: introduce arp_evict_nocarrier sysctl parameterJames Prestwood
This change introduces a new sysctl parameter, arp_evict_nocarrier. When set (default) the ARP cache will be cleared on a NOCARRIER event. This new option has been defaulted to '1' which maintains existing behavior. Clearing the ARP cache on NOCARRIER is relatively new, introduced by: commit 859bd2ef1fc1110a8031b967ee656c53a6260a76 Author: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Date: Thu Oct 11 20:33:49 2018 -0700 net: Evict neighbor entries on carrier down The reason for this changes is to prevent the ARP cache from being cleared when a wireless device roams. Specifically for wireless roams the ARP cache should not be cleared because the underlying network has not changed. Clearing the ARP cache in this case can introduce significant delays sending out packets after a roam. A user reported such a situation here: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/CACsRnHWa47zpx3D1oDq9JYnZWniS8yBwW1h0WAVZ6vrbwL_S0w@mail.gmail.com/ After some investigation it was found that the kernel was holding onto packets until ARP finished which resulted in this 1 second delay. It was also found that the first ARP who-has was never responded to, which is actually what caues the delay. This change is more or less working around this behavior, but again, there is no reason to clear the cache on a roam anyways. As for the unanswered who-has, we know the packet made it OTA since it was seen while monitoring. Why it never received a response is unknown. In any case, since this is a problem on the AP side of things all that can be done is to work around it until it is solved. Some background on testing/reproducing the packet delay: Hardware: - 2 access points configured for Fast BSS Transition (Though I don't see why regular reassociation wouldn't have the same behavior) - Wireless station running IWD as supplicant - A device on network able to respond to pings (I used one of the APs) Procedure: - Connect to first AP - Ping once to establish an ARP entry - Start a tcpdump - Roam to second AP - Wait for operstate UP event, and note the timestamp - Start pinging Results: Below is the tcpdump after UP. It was recorded the interface went UP at 10:42:01.432875. 10:42:01.461871 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.254.1 tell 192.168.254.71, length 28 10:42:02.497976 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.254.1 tell 192.168.254.71, length 28 10:42:02.507162 ARP, Reply 192.168.254.1 is-at ac:86:74:55:b0:20, length 46 10:42:02.507185 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 1, length 64 10:42:02.507205 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 2, length 64 10:42:02.507212 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 3, length 64 10:42:02.507219 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 4, length 64 10:42:02.507225 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 5, length 64 10:42:02.507232 IP 192.168.254.71 > 192.168.254.1: ICMP echo request, id 52792, seq 6, length 64 10:42:02.515373 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 1, length 64 10:42:02.521399 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 2, length 64 10:42:02.521612 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 3, length 64 10:42:02.521941 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 4, length 64 10:42:02.522419 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 5, length 64 10:42:02.523085 IP 192.168.254.1 > 192.168.254.71: ICMP echo reply, id 52792, seq 6, length 64 You can see the first ARP who-has went out very quickly after UP, but was never responded to. Nearly a second later the kernel retries and gets a response. Only then do the ping packets go out. If an ARP entry is manually added prior to UP (after the cache is cleared) it is seen that the first ping is never responded to, so its not only an issue with ARP but with data packets in general. As mentioned prior, the wireless interface was also monitored to verify the ping/ARP packet made it OTA which was observed to be true.
