      __netif_receive_skb_core: don't untag vlan from skb on DSA master · b14a9fc4
      Vladimir Oltean authored
      A DSA master interface has upper network devices, each representing an
      Ethernet switch port attached to it. Demultiplexing the source ports and
      setting skb->dev accordingly is done through the catch-all ETH_P_XDSA
      packet_type handler. Catch-all because DSA vendors have various header
      implementations, which can be placed anywhere in the frame: before the
      DMAC, before the EtherType, before the FCS, etc. So, the ETH_P_XDSA
      handler acts like an rx_handler more than anything.
      
      It is unlikely for the DSA master interface to have any other upper than
      the DSA switch interfaces themselves. Only maybe a bridge upper*, but it
      is very likely that the DSA master will have no 8021q upper. So
      __netif_receive_skb_core() will try to untag the VLAN, despite the fact
      that the DSA switch interface might have an 8021q upper. So the skb will
      never reach that.
      
      So far, this hasn't been a problem because most of the possible
      placements of the DSA switch header mentioned in the first paragraph
      will displace the VLAN header when the DSA master receives the frame, so
      __netif_receive_skb_core() will not actually execute any VLAN-specific
      code for it. This only becomes a problem when the DSA switch header does
      not displace the VLAN header (for example with a tail tag).
      
      What the patch does is it bypasses the untagging of the skb when there
      is a DSA switch attached to this net device. So, DSA is the only
      packet_type handler which requires seeing the VLAN header. Once skb->dev
      will be changed, __netif_receive_skb_core() will be invoked again and
      untagging, or delivery to an 8021q upper, will happen in the RX of the
      DSA switch interface itself.
      
      *see commit 9eb8eff0
      
       ("net: bridge: allow enslaving some DSA master
      network devices". This is actually the reason why I prefer keeping DSA
      as a packet_type handler of ETH_P_XDSA rather than converting to an
      rx_handler. Currently the rx_handler code doesn't support chaining, and
      this is a problem because a DSA master might be bridged.

      ====================
      net-next: dsa: mt7530: add support for MT7531
      
      This patch series adds support for MT7531.
      
      MT7531 is the next generation of MT7530 which could be found on Mediatek
      router platforms such as MT7622 or MT7629.
      
      It is also a 7-ports switch with 5 giga embedded phys, 2 cpu ports, and
      the same MAC logic of MT7530. Cpu port 6 only supports SGMII interface.
      Cpu port 5 supports either RGMII or SGMII in different HW SKU, but cannot
      be muxed to PHY of port 0/4 like mt7530. Due to support for SGMII
      interface, pll, and pad setting are different from MT7530.
      
      MT7531 SGMII interface can be configured in following mode:
      - 'SGMII AN mode' with in-band negotiation capability
          which is compatible with PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_SGMII.
      - 'SGMII force mode' without in-band negotiation
          which is compatible with 10B/8B encoding of
          PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_1000BASEX with fixed full-duplex and fixed pause.
      - 2.5 times faster clocked 'SGMII force mode' without in-band negotiation
          which is compatible with 10B/8B encoding of
          PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_2500BASEX with fixed full-duplex and fixed pause.
      
      v4 -> v5
      - Add fixed-link node to dsa cpu port in dts file by suggestion of
        Vladimir Oltean.
      
      v3 -> v4
      - Adjust the coding style by suggestion of Jakub Kicinski.
        Remove unnecessary jumping label, merge continuous numeric 'switch
        cases' into one line, and keep the variables longest to shortest
        (reverse xmas tree).
      
      v2 -> v3
      - Keep the same setup logic of mt7530/mt7621 because these series of
        patches is for adding mt7531 hardware.
      - Do not adjust rgmii delay when vendor phy driver presents in order to
        prevent double adjustment by suggestion of Andrew Lunn.
      - Remove redundant 'Example 4' from dt-bindings by suggestion of
        Rob Herring.
      - Fix typo.
      
      v1 -> v2
      - change phylink_validate callback function to support full-duplex
        gigabit only to match hardware capability.
      - add description of SGMII interface.
      - configure mt7531 cpu port in fastest speed by default.
      - parse SGMII control word for in-band negotiation mode.
      - configure RGMII delay based on phy.rst.
      - Rename the definition in the header file to avoid potential conflicts.
      - Add wrapper function for mdio read/write to support both C22 and C45.
      - correct fixed-link speed of 2500base-x in dts.
      - add MT7531 port mirror setting.

      mlxsw: Derive SBIB from maximum port speed & MTU
      
      Petr says:
      
      Internal buffer is a part of port headroom used for packets that are
      mirrored due to triggers that the Spectrum ASIC considers "egress". Besides
      ACL mirroring on port egresss this includes also packets mirrored due to
      ECN marking.
      
      This patchset changes the way the internal mirroring buffer is reserved.
      Currently the buffer reflects port MTU and speed accurately. In the future,
      mlxsw should support dcbnl_setbuffer hook to allow the users to set buffer
      sizes by hand. In that case, there might not be enough space for growth of
      the internal mirroring buffer due to MTU and speed changes. While vetoing
      MTU changes would be merely confusing, port speed changes cannot be vetoed,
      and such change would simply lead to issues in packet mirroring.
      
      For these reasons, with these patches the internal mirroring buffer is
      derived from maximum MTU and maximum speed achievable on the port.
      
      Patches #1 and #2 introduce a new callback to determine the maximum speed a
      given port can achieve.
      
      With patches #3 and #4, the information about, respectively, maximum MTU
      and maximum port speed, is kept in struct mlxsw_sp_port.
      
      In patch #5, maximum MTU and maximum speed are used to determine the size
      of the internal buffer. MTU update and speed update hooks are dropped,
      because they are no longer necessary.

      mlxsw: spectrum_span: Derive SBIB from maximum port speed & MTU · 532b49e4
      Petr Machata authored
      
      
      The SBIB register configures the size of an internal buffer that the
      Spectrum ASICs use when mirroring traffic on egress. This size should be
      taken into account when validating that the port headroom buffers are not
      larger than the chip can handle. Up until now this was not done, which is
      incidentally not a problem, because the priority group buffers that mlxsw
      auto-configures are small enough that the boundary condition could not be
      violated.
      
      However when dcbnl_setbuffer is implemented, the user has control over
      sizes of PG buffers, and they might overshoot the headroom capacity.
      However the size of the SBIB buffer depends on port speed, and that cannot
      be vetoed. Therefore SBIB size should be deduced from maximum port speed.
      
      Additionally, once the buffers are configured by hand, the user could get
      into an uncomfortable situation where their MTU change requests get vetoed,
      because the SBIB does not fit anymore. Therefore derive SBIB size from
      maximum permissible MTU as well.
      
      Remove all the code that adjusted the SBIB size whenever speed or MTU
      changed.

      The SBIB register configures the size of an internal buffer that the
      Spectrum ASICs use when mirroring traffic on egress. This size should be
      taken into account when validating that the port headroom buffers are not

      When dcbnl_setbuffer is implemented, the user gets control over sizes of PG
      buffers, and they might overshoot the headroom capacity. However the size
      of the SBIB buffer depends on port speed, which cannot be vetoed. There is
      obviously no way to retroactively push back on requests for overlarge PG
      buffers, or reject an overlarge MTU, or cancel losslessness of a certain
      PG.
      
      Therefore, instead of taking into account the current speed when
      calculating SBIB buffer size, take into account the maximum speed that a
      port with given Ethernet protocol capabilities can have.
      
      To that end, add a new ethtool callback, ptys_max_speed, which determines
      this maximum speed.

      Add NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL and NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM features
      to support vxlan segmentation and checksum offload. Ipip and ipv6
      tunnel packets are regarded as non-tunnel pkt for hw and as for other
      type of tunnel pkts, checksum offload is disabled.

      tcp: remove SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK · 0cbe6a8f
      Eric Dumazet authored
      SOCK_QUEUE_SHRUNK is currently used by TCP as a temporary state
      that remembers if some room has been made in the rtx queue
      by an incoming ACK packet.
      
      This is later used from tcp_check_space() before
      considering to send EPOLLOUT.
      
      Problem is: If we receive SACK packets, and no packet
      is removed from RTX queue, we can send fresh packets, thus
      moving them from write queue to rtx queue and eventually
      empty the write queue.
      
      This stall can happen if TCP_NOTSENT_LOWAT is used.
      
      With this fix, we no longer risk stalling sends while holes
      are repaired, and we can fully use socket sndbuf.
      
      This also removes a cache line dirtying for typical RPC
      workloads.

      net/packet: Fix a comment about hard_header_len and headroom allocation · b4c58814
      Xie He authored
      This comment is outdated and no longer reflects the actual implementation
      of af_packet.c.
      
      Reasons for the new comment:
      
      1.
      
      In af_packet.c, the function packet_snd first reserves a headroom of
      length (dev->hard_header_len + dev->needed_headroom).
      Then if the socket is a SOCK_DGRAM socket, it calls dev_hard_header,
      which calls dev->header_ops->create, to create the link layer header.
      If the socket is a SOCK_RAW socket, it "un-reserves" a headroom of
      length (dev->hard_header_len), and checks if the user has provided a
      header sized between (dev->min_header_len) and (dev->hard_header_len)
      (in dev_validate_header).
      This shows the developers of af_packet.c expect hard_header_len to
      be consistent with header_ops.
      
      2.
      
      In af_packet.c, the function packet_sendmsg_spkt has a FIXME comment.
      That comment states that prepending an LL header internally in a driver
      is considered a bug. I believe this bug can be fixed by setting
      hard_header_len to 0, making the internal header completely invisible
      to af_packet.c (and requesting the headroom in needed_headroom instead).
      
      3.
      
      There is a commit for a WiFi driver:
      commit 9454f7a8 ("mwifiex: set needed_headroom, not hard_header_len")
      According to the discussion about it at:
        https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11407493/
      
      
      The author tried to set the WiFi driver's hard_header_len to the Ethernet
      header length, and request additional header space internally needed by
      setting needed_headroom.
      This means this usage is already adopted by driver developers.

      Merge branch 'mptcp-introduce-support-for-real-multipath-xmit' · b91c06c5
      David S. Miller authored
      
      
      Paolo Abeni says:
      
      ====================
      mptcp: introduce support for real multipath xmit
      
      This series enable MPTCP socket to transmit data on multiple subflows
      concurrently in a load balancing scenario.
      
      First the receive code path is refactored to better deal with out-of-order
      data (patches 1-7). An RB-tree is introduced to queue MPTCP-level out-of-order
      data, closely resembling the TCP level OoO handling.
      
      When data is sent on multiple subflows, the peer can easily see OoO - "future"
      data at the MPTCP level, especially if speeds, delay, or jitter are not
      symmetric.
      
      The other major change regards the netlink PM, which is extended to allow
      creating non backup subflows in patches 9-11.
      
      There are a few smaller additions, like the introduction of OoO related mibs,
      send buffer autotuning and better ack handling.
      
      Finally a bunch of new self-tests is introduced. The new feature is tested
      ensuring that the B/W used by an MPTCP socket using multiple subflows matches
      the link aggregated B/W - we use low B/W virtual links, to ensure the tests
      are not CPU bounded.
      
      v1 -> v2:
        - fix 32 bit build breakage
        - fix a bunch of checkpatch issues

      That is needed to let the subflows announce promptly when new
      space is available in the receive buffer.
      
      tcp_cleanup_rbuf() is currently a static function, drop the
      scope modifier and add a declaration in the TCP header.

      mptcp: allow picking different xmit subflows · d5f49190
      Paolo Abeni authored
      
      
      Update the scheduler to less trivial heuristic: cache
      the last used subflow, and try to send on it a reasonably
      long burst of data.
      
      When the burst or the subflow send space is exhausted, pick
      the subflow with the lower ratio between write space and
      send buffer - that is, the subflow with the greater relative
      amount of free space.
      
      v1 -> v2:
       - fix 32 bit build breakage due to 64bits div
       - fix checkpath issues (uint64_t -> u64)
