2022-04-18devlink: implement line card provisioningJiri Pirko2-0/+122
In order to be able to configure all needed stuff on a port/netdevice of a line card without the line card being present, introduce line card provisioning. Basically by setting a type, provisioning process will start and driver is supposed to create a placeholder for instances (ports/netdevices) for a line card type. Allow the user to query the supported line card types over line card get command. Then implement two netlink command SET to allow user to set/unset the card type. On the driver API side, add provision/unprovision ops and supported types array to be advertised. Upon provision op call, the driver should take care of creating the instances for the particular line card type. Introduce provision_set/clear() functions to be called by the driver once the provisioning/unprovisioning is done on its side. These helpers are not to be called directly due to the async nature of provisioning. Example: $ devlink port # No ports are listed $ devlink lc pci/0000:01:00.0: lc 1 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 2 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 3 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 4 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 5 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 6 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 7 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G lc 8 state unprovisioned supported_types: 16x100G $ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 type 16x100G $ devlink lc show pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 pci/0000:01:00.0: lc 8 state active type 16x100G supported_types: 16x100G $ devlink port pci/0000:01:00.0/0: type notset flavour cpu port 0 splittable false pci/0000:01:00.0/53: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p1 flavour physical lc 8 port 1 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/54: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p2 flavour physical lc 8 port 2 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/55: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p3 flavour physical lc 8 port 3 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/56: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p4 flavour physical lc 8 port 4 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/57: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p5 flavour physical lc 8 port 5 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/58: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p6 flavour physical lc 8 port 6 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/59: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p7 flavour physical lc 8 port 7 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/60: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p8 flavour physical lc 8 port 8 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/61: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p9 flavour physical lc 8 port 9 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/62: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p10 flavour physical lc 8 port 10 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/63: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p11 flavour physical lc 8 port 11 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/64: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p12 flavour physical lc 8 port 12 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/125: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p13 flavour physical lc 8 port 13 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/126: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p14 flavour physical lc 8 port 14 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/127: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p15 flavour physical lc 8 port 15 splittable true lanes 4 pci/0000:01:00.0/128: type eth netdev enp1s0nl8p16 flavour physical lc 8 port 16 splittable true lanes 4 $ devlink lc set pci/0000:01:00.0 lc 8 notype Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel <idosch@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2022-03-16devlink: expose instance locking and add locked port registeringJakub Kicinski1-0/+16
It should be familiar and beneficial to expose devlink instance lock to the drivers. This way drivers can block devlink from calling them during critical sections without breakneck locking. Add port helpers, port splitting callbacks will be the first target. Use 'devl_' prefix for "explicitly locked" API. Initial RFC used '__devlink' but that's too much typing. devl_lock_is_held() is not defined without lockdep, which is the same behavior as lockdep_is_held() itself.

2022-03-10tcp: adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rttEric Dumazet1-0/+23
Back when tcp_tso_autosize() and TCP pacing were introduced, our focus was really to reduce burst sizes for long distance flows. The simple heuristic of using sk_pacing_rate/1024 has worked well, but can lead to too small packets for hosts in the same rack/cluster, when thousands of flows compete for the bottleneck. Neal Cardwell had the idea of making the TSO burst size a function of both sk_pacing_rate and tcp_min_rtt() Indeed, for local flows, sending bigger bursts is better to reduce cpu costs, as occasional losses can be repaired quite fast. This patch is based on Neal Cardwell implementation done more than two years ago. bbr is adjusting max_pacing_rate based on measured bandwidth, while cubic would over estimate max_pacing_rate. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tso_rtt_log can be used to tune or disable this new feature, in logarithmic steps. Tested: 100Gbit NIC, two hosts in the same rack, 4K MTU. 600 flows rate-limited to 20000000 bytes per second.

2022-02-27docs: net: dsa: sja1105: document limitations of tc-flower rule VLAN awarenessVladimir Oltean1-0/+27
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.

2022-02-21bonding: add new option ns_ip6_targetHangbin Liu1-0/+11
This patch add a new bonding option ns_ip6_target, which correspond to the arp_ip_target. With this we set IPv6 targets and send IPv6 NS request to determine the health of the link. For other related options like the validation, we still use arp_validate, and will change to ns_validate later.

2022-02-09mctp: Add SIOCMCTP{ALLOC,DROP}TAG ioctls for tag controlMatt Johnston1-0/+48
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 Kicinski1-0/+8
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.)

LLQ entry length is 128 bytes. Therefore the maximum header in the entry is calculated by: tx_max_header_size = LLQ_ENTRY_SIZE - DESCRIPTORS_NUM_BEFORE_HEADER * 16 = 128 - 2 * 16 = 96 This patch updates the documentation so that it states the correct max header length.

Currently, max_macs is taking 70Kbytes of memory per function. This size is not needed in all use cases, and is critical with large scale. Hence, allow user to configure the number of max_macs. For example, to reduce the number of max_macs to 1, execute:: $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:00:0b.0 name max_macs value 1 \ cmode driverinit $ devlink dev reload pci/0000:00:0b.0 Signed-off-by: Shay Drory <shayd@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
