Merge tag 'mlx5-tls-2020-06-26' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux
Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-tls-2020-06-26 1) Improve hardware layouts and structure for kTLS support 2) Generalize ICOSQ (Internal Channel Operations Send Queue) Due to the asynchronous nature of adding new kTLS flows and handling HW asynchronous kTLS resync requests, the XSK ICOSQ was extended to support generic async operations, such as kTLS add flow and resync, in addition to the existing XSK usages. 3) kTLS hardware flow steering and classification: The driver already has the means to classify TCP ipv4/6 flows to send them to the corresponding RSS HW engine, as reflected in patches 3 through 5, the series will add a steering layer that will hook to the driver's TCP classifiers and will match on well known kTLS connection, in case of a match traffic will be redirected to the kTLS decryption engine, otherwise traffic will continue flowing normally to the TCP RSS engine. 3) kTLS add flow RX HW offload support New offload contexts post their static/progress params WQEs (Work Queue Element) to communicate the newly added kTLS contexts over the per-channel async ICOSQ. The Channel/RQ is selected according to the socket's rxq index. A new TLS-RX workqueue is used to allow asynchronous addition of steering rules, out of the NAPI context. It will be also used in a downstream patch in the resync procedure. Feature is OFF by default. Can be turned on by: $ ethtool -K <if> tls-hw-rx-offload on 4) Added mlx5 kTLS sw stats and new counters are documented in Documentation/networking/tls-offload.rst rx_tls_ctx - number of TLS RX HW offload contexts added to device for decryption. rx_tls_ooo - number of RX packets which were part of a TLS stream but did not arrive in the expected order and triggered the resync procedure. rx_tls_del - number of TLS RX HW offload contexts deleted from device (connection has finished). rx_tls_err - number of RX packets which were part of a TLS stream but were not decrypted due to unexpected error in the state machine. 5) Asynchronous RX resync a. The NIC driver indicates that it would like to resync on some TLS record within the received packet (P), but the driver does not know (yet) which of the TLS records within the packet. At this stage, the NIC driver will query the device to find the exact TCP sequence for resync (tcpsn), however, the driver does not wait for the device to provide the response. b. Eventually, the device responds, and the driver provides the tcpsn within the resync packet to KTLS. Now, KTLS can check the tcpsn against any processed TLS records within packet P, and also against any record that is processed in the future within packet P. The asynchronous resync path simplifies the device driver, as it can save bits on the packet completion (32-bit TCP sequence), and pass this information on an asynchronous command instead.
