2016-05-09net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: factorize EEE accessVivien Didelot5-2/+21
Add a MV88E6XXX_FLAG_EEE flag to describe switch models featuring Energy Efficient Ethernet. Use it to conditionally support such access in the common code. Signed-off-by: Vivien Didelot <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
2016-05-09net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: factorize MAC address settingVivien Didelot6-9/+30
Some switch models have a dedicated register for Switch MAC/WoF/WoL. This register, when present, is used to indirectly set the switch MAC address, instead of a direct write to 3 global registers. Identify this feature and share a common mv88e6xxx_set_addr function. Signed-off-by: Vivien Didelot <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

Add a MV88E6XXX_FLAG_PPU flag to describe switch models with a PHY Polling Unit. This allows to merge PPU specific PHY access code in the share code. Make the mv88e6xxx_ppu_disable and mv88e6xxx_phy_{read,write}_ppu functions use unlocked register accesses in order to call them in mv88e6xxx_phy_{read,write} in a locked context. Since the PPU code is shared, also remove NET_DSA_MV88E6XXX_NEED_PPU. Signed-off-by: Vivien Didelot <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== net/mlx5e: Kconfig fixes for VxLAN Reposting to net the build errors fixes posted by Arnd last week. Originally Arnd posted those fixes to net-next, while the issue is also seen in net. For net-next a different approach is required for fixing the issue as VXLAN and Device Drivers are no longer dependent, but there is no harm for those fixes to get into net-next. Optionally, once net is merged into net-next we can Revert "net/mlx5e: make VXLAN support conditional" as the CONFIG_MLX5_CORE_EN_VXLAN will no longer be required.

The MACsec standard mentions a key identifier for each key, but doesn't specify anything about it, so I arbitrarily chose 64 bits.

2016-05-08fq_codel: add memory limitation per queueEric Dumazet2-3/+27
On small embedded routers, one wants to control maximal amount of memory used by fq_codel, instead of controlling number of packets or bytes, since GRO/TSO make these not practical. Assuming skb->truesize is accurate, we have to keep track of skb->truesize sum for skbs in queue. This patch adds a new TCA_FQ_CODEL_MEMORY_LIMIT attribute. I chose a default value of 32 MBytes, which looks reasonable even for heavy duty usages. (Prior fq_codel users should not be hurt when they upgrade their kernels) Two fields are added to tc_fq_codel_qd_stats to report : - Current memory usage - Number of drops caused by memory limits # tc qd replace dev eth1 root est 1sec 4sec fq_codel memory_limit 4M .. # tc -s -d qd sh dev eth1 qdisc fq_codel 8008: root refcnt 257 limit 10240p flows 1024 quantum 1514 target 5.0ms interval 100.0ms memory_limit 4Mb ecn Sent 2083566791363 bytes 1376214889 pkt (dropped 4994406, overlimits 0 requeues 21705223) rate 9841Mbit 812549pps backlog 3906120b 376p requeues 21705223 maxpacket 68130 drop_overlimit 4994406 new_flow_count 28855414 ecn_mark 0 memory_used 4190048 drop_overmemory 4994406 new_flows_len 1 old_flows_len 177 Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <[email protected]> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <[email protected]> Cc: Dave Täht <[email protected]> Cc: Sebastian Möller <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.

2016-05-07cxgb4: Reset dcb state machine and tx queue prio only if dcb is enabledHariprasad Shenai1-18/+20
When cxgb4 is enabled with CONFIG_CHELSIO_T4_DCB set, VI enable command gets called with DCB enabled. But when we have a back to back setup with DCB enabled on one side and non-DCB on the Peer side. Firmware doesn't send any DCB_L2_CFG, and DCB priority is never set for Tx queue. But driver resets the queue priority and state machine whenever there is a link down, this patch fixes it by adding a check to reset only if cxgb4_dcb_enabled() returns true.

2016-05-06udp_offload: Set encapsulation before inner completes.Jarno Rajahalme5-3/+18
UDP tunnel segmentation code relies on the inner offsets being set for an UDP tunnel GSO packet, but the inner *_complete() functions will set the inner offsets only if 'encapsulation' is set before calling them. Currently, udp_gro_complete() sets 'encapsulation' only after the inner *_complete() functions are done. This causes the inner offsets having invalid values after udp_gro_complete() returns, which in turn will make it impossible to properly segment the packet in case it needs to be forwarded, which would be visible to the user either as invalid packets being sent or as packet loss. This patch fixes this by setting skb's 'encapsulation' in udp_gro_complete() before calling into the inner complete functions, and by making each possible UDP tunnel gro_complete() callback set the inner_mac_header to the beginning of the tunnel payload.

2016-05-06macvtap: add namespace support to the sysfs device classMarc Angel1-10/+26
When creating macvtaps that are expected to have the same ifindex in different network namespaces, only the first one will succeed. The others will fail with a sysfs_warn_dup warning due to them trying to create the following sysfs link (with 'NN' the ifindex of macvtapX): /sys/class/macvtap/tapNN -> /sys/devices/virtual/net/macvtapX/tapNN This is reproducible by running the following commands: ip netns add ns1 ip netns add ns2 ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 ip link set veth0 netns ns1 ip link set veth1 netns ns2 ip netns exec ns1 ip l add link veth0 macvtap0 type macvtap ip netns exec ns2 ip l add link veth1 macvtap1 type macvtap The last command will fail with "RTNETLINK answers: File exists" (along with the kernel warning) but retrying it will work because the ifindex was incremented. The 'net' device class is isolated between network namespaces so each one has its own hierarchy of net devices. This isn't the case for the 'macvtap' device class. The problem occurs half-way through the netdev registration, when `macvtap_device_event` is called-back to create the 'tapNN' macvtap class device under the 'macvtapX' net class device. This patch adds namespace support to the 'macvtap' device class so that /sys/class/macvtap is no longer shared between net namespaces. However, making the macvtap sysfs class namespace-aware has the side effect of changing /sys/devices/virtual/net/macvtapX/tapNN into /sys/devices/virtual/net/macvtapX/macvtap/tapNN. This is due to Commit 24b1442 ("Driver-core: Always create class directories for classses that support namespaces") and the fact that class devices supporting namespaces are really not supposed to be placed directly under other class devices. To avoid breaking userland, a tapNN symlink pointing to macvtap/tapNN is created inside the macvtapX directory. Signed-off-by: Marc Angel <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
