When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.
The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce5c ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.
iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").
The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)
We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.
With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new
iproute2 versions.

FEC HW support IP header and TCP/UDP hw checksum, support multi buffer descriptor transfer
one frame, but don't support HW TSO. And imx6q/dl SOC FEC Gbps speed has HW bus Bandwidth
limitation (400Mbps ~ 700Mbps), imx6sx SOC FEC Gbps speed has no HW bandwidth limitation.
The patch set just enable TSO feature, which is done following the mv643xx_eth driver.
Test result analyze:
imx6dl sabresd board: there have 82% improvement, since imx6dl FEC HW has bandwidth limitation,
the performance with SW TSO is a milestone.
Addition test:
imx6sx sdb board:
upstream still don't support imx6sx due to some patches being upstream... they use same FEC IP.
Use the SW TSO patches test imx6sx sdb board in internal kernel tree:
No SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 840Mbps, cpu loading is 100%.
SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 942Mbps, cpu loading is 65%.
It means the patch set have great improvement for imx6sx FEC performance.
V2:
* From Frank Li's suggestion:
Change the API "fec_enet_txdesc_entry_free" name to "fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num".
* Summary David Laight and Eric Dumazet's thoughts:
RX BD entry number change to 256.
* From ezequiel's suggestion:
Follow the latest TSO fixes from his solution to rework the queue stop/wake-up.
Avoid unmapping the TSO header buffers.
* From Eric Dumazet's suggestion:
Avoid more bytes copy, just copying the unaligned part of the payload into first
descriptor. The suggestion will bring more complex for the driver, and imx6dl FEC
DMA need 16 bytes alignment, but cpu loading is not problem that cpu loading is
30%, the current performance is so better. Later chip like imx6sx Gigbit FEC DMA
support byte alignment, so there don't exist memory copy. So, the V2 version drop
the suggestion.
Anyway, thanks for Eric's response and suggestion.
V3:
* From David Laight's feedback:
Decide to drop RX BD entry number change for the SW TSO patch set.
I will generate one separate patch to increase RX BDs entry for interrupt coalescing feature which
will be supported in my later patch set.
V4:
* From David Laight's feedback:
Remove the conditional in .fec_enet_get_bd_index().
V5:
* Patch #4 update:
From David Laight's feedback:
"expect fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num() to return one less than it does currently."
Change the function:
Return space available, 0..size-1. it always leave one free entry. Which is same as linux circ_buf.
Thanks for Eric and ezequiel's help and idea.

Consider the scenario:
For a TCP-style socket, while processing the COOKIE_ECHO chunk in
sctp_sf_do_5_1D_ce(), after it has passed a series of sanity check,
a new association would be created in sctp_unpack_cookie(), but afterwards,
some processing maybe failed, and sctp_association_free() will be called to
free the previously allocated association, in sctp_association_free(),
sk_ack_backlog value is decremented for this socket, since the initial
value for sk_ack_backlog is 0, after the decrement, it will be 65535,
a wrap-around problem happens, and if we want to establish new associations
afterward in the same socket, ABORT would be triggered since sctp deem the
accept queue as full.
Fix this issue by only decrementing sk_ack_backlog for associations in
the endpoint's list.

net: Checksum offload changes - Part IV
I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
are:
- Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
- Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
- Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
- Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
- Simply code
What is in this fourth patch set:
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE instead of changing it to
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This allows correct reuse in validating multiple
csums in a packet.
- When SW needs to compute the packet checksum, save it as
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. Also mark that checksum was compute by SW.
- Add skb_gro_postpull_rcsum to udp and vxlan to make GRO work with
CHECKSUM_COMPLETE.

Currently when the first checksum in a packet is validated using

so that any subsequent checksums in the packet are not correctly
validated.
This patch adds csum_valid flag in sk_buff and uses that to indicate
validated checksum instead of setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. The bit
is set accordingly in the skb_checksum_validate_* functions. The flag
is checked in skb_checksum_complete, so that validation is communicated
between checksum_init and checksum_complete sequence in TCP and UDP.

("sfc: Use TX PIO for sufficiently small packets")
The linux net driver uses memcpy_toio() in order to copy into
the PIO buffers.
Even on a 64bit machine this causes 32bit accesses to a write-
combined memory region.
There are hardware limitations that mean that only 64bit
naturally aligned accesses are safe in all cases.
Due to being write-combined memory region two 32bit accesses
may be coalesced to form a 64bit non 64bit aligned access.
Solution was to open-code the memory copy routines using pointers
and to only enable PIO for x86_64 machines.
Not tested on platforms other than x86_64 because this patch
disables the PIO feature on other platforms.
Compile-tested on x86 to ensure that works.
The WARN_ON_ONCE() code in the previous version of this patch
has been moved into the internal sfc debug driver as the
assertion was unnecessary in the upstream kernel code.

bridge: 802.1ad vlan protocol support
Currently bridge vlan filtering doesn't work fine with 802.1ad protocol.
Only if a bridge is configured without pvid, the bridge receives only
802.1ad tagged frames and no STP is used, it will work.
Otherwise:
- If pvid is configured, it can put only 802.1Q tags but cannot put 802.1ad
tags.
- If 802.1Q and 802.1ad tagged frames arrive in mixture, it applies filtering
regardless of their protocols.
- While an 802.1ad bridge should use another mac address for STP BPDU and
should forward customer's BPDU frames, it can't.
Thus, we can't properly handle frames once 802.1ad is used.
Handling 802.1ad is useful if we want to allow stacked vlans to be used,
e.g., guest VMs wants to use vlan tags and the host also wants to segregate
guest's traffic from other guests' by vlan tags.
Here is the image describing how to configure a bridge to filter VMs traffic.
+-------+p/u +-----+ +---------+
+----+ | |------|vnet0|--|User A VM|
|eth0|--|802.1ad| +-----+ +---------+
+----+ |bridge |p/u +-----+ +---------+
| |------|vnet1|--|User B VM|
+-------+ +-----+ +---------+
p/u: pvid/untagged
This patch set enables us to set vlan protocols per bridge.
This tries to implement a bridge like S-VLAN component in IEEE 802.1Q-2011
spec.
Note that there is another possible implementation that sets vlan protocols
per port. Some HW switches seem to take that approach.
However, I think per-bridge approach is better, because;
- I think the typical usage of an 802.1ad bridge is segregating 802.1Q tagged
traffic (like what is described above), and this doesn't need the ability to
be set protocols per port. Also, If a bridge has many ports and it supports
per-port setting, we might have to make much more extra configurations to
change protocols of all ports.
- I assume that the main perpose to set protocol per port is to assign S-VID
according to C-VID, or to realize two logical bridges (one is an 802.1Q
filtering bridge and the other is an 802.1ad filtering bridge) in one bridge.
The former usually needs additional features such as vlan id mapping, and
is likely to make bridge's code complicated. If a user wants, such enhanced
features can be accomplished by a combination of multiple bridges, so it is
not absolutely necessary to implement these features in a bridge itself.
The latter is simply unnecessary because we can easily make two bridges of
which one is an 802.1Q bridge and the other is an 802.1ad bridge.
Here is an example of the enhanced feature that we can realize by using
multiple bridges and veth interfaces. This way is documented in
IEEE 802.1Q-2011 clause 15.4 (C-tagged service interface).
+----+ +-------+p/u +------+ +----+ +--+
|eth0|--|802.1ad|----veth----|802.1Q|--|vnet|--|VM|
+----+ |bridge |----veth----|bridge| +----+ +--+
+-------+p/u +------+
p/u: pvid/untagged
In this configuration, we can map C-VIDs to any S-VID.
For example;
C-VID 10 and 20 to S-VID 100
C-VID 30 to S-VID 110
This is achieved through the 802.1Q bridge that forwards C-tagged frames to
proper ports of the 802.1ad bridge.
Changes:
v1 -> v2:
- Make the way to forward bridge group addresses more generic by introducing
new mask, group_fwd_mask_required.
RFC -> v1:
- Add S-TAG tx offload.
- Remove a fix around stacked vlan which has already been fixed.
- Take into account Bridge Group Addresses.
- Separate handling of protocol-mismatch from br_vlan_get_tag().
- Change the way to set vlan_proto from netlink to sysfs because no other
existing configuration per bridge can be set by netlink.

This enables us to change the vlan protocol for vlan filtering.
We come to be able to filter frames on the basis of 802.1ad vlan tags
through a bridge.
This also changes br->group_addr if it has not been set by user.
This is needed for an 802.1ad bridge.
(See IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.13.5.)
Furthermore, this sets br->group_fwd_mask_required so that an 802.1ad
bridge can forward the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses except
for br->group_addr, which should be passed to higher layer.
To change the vlan protocol, write a protocol in sysfs:
# echo 0x88a8 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/vlan_protocol

If a bridge is an 802.1ad bridge, it must forward another bridge group
addresses (the Nearest Customer Bridge group addresses).
(For details, see IEEE 802.1Q-2011 8.6.3.)
As user might not want group_fwd_mask to be modified by enabling 802.1ad,
introduce a new mask, group_fwd_mask_required, which indicates addresses
the bridge wants to forward. This will be set by enabling 802.1ad.

This enables a bridge to have vlan protocol informantion and allows vlan
tag manipulation (retrieve, insert and remove tags) according to the vlan
protocol.

commit e9ce7cb6b1 ("xen-netback: Factor queue-specific data into
queue struct") added a use of vzalloc/vfree to interface.c, but
removed the #include <linux/vmalloc.h> statement at the same time,
which causes this build error:

Using phy_drivers_register/_unregister functions is proper way to
handle multiple PHY drivers registration. For Realtek PHY drivers
module, it fixes incomplete current error-handlings up and adds
missed unregistration for the RTL8201CP driver.

This patch fixes an issue that we cannot use nfs rootfs correctly
on r8a7790 when the command below runs on a host PC.
$ sudo ping -f -l 8 $BOARD_IP_ADDR
Since the driver sets the RACT to 1 in the first while loop of
sh_eth_rx(), the controller accepts a next frame into the next RX
descriptor during the while loop. But, in the first while loop
doesn't allocate a next skb. So, this patch removes the RACT setting
in the first while loop of sh_eth_rx().
