[ Upstream commit f7fc6bc414121954c45c5f18b70e2a8717d0d5b4 ] The file ila.h used for lightweight tunnels is being used by iproute2 but is not exported yet. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net/ncsi: Netlink support

2015-11-18T04:14:19+00:00

This adds netlink support so that userland can retrieve the NCSI topology on the specified interface. Also, more netlink commands are introduced to retrieve information from the active channel or configure the active channel with provided options. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan

net/ncsi: Packet handler

2015-11-18T04:14:18+00:00

NCSI packet encapsulated in ethernet frame is recognized by the ethernet protocol field (0x88F8). According to NCSI spec, the destination MAC field should be 0xFF's, but the source MAC field could be arbitrary one since channel field in NCSI header indicates the source of the packet. There are 3 types of packets depending on the type field in the NCSI packet header: command, response, Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN). The command packets are sent from NCSI enabled interace to the NCSI package or channel for purpose of information retrival or configuration. The response packets, as responses to the received command packets, originate from NCSI package or channel and terminate at NCSI enabled interface. AEN packets are sent from NCSI channel for asynchronous events that might indicate failure detected on the active channel. This implements the functions to handle NCSI packets.

net/ncsi: Resource management

2015-11-18T04:14:17+00:00

According to NCSI spec (DSP0222), the NCSI enabled interface can connected to multiple packages simultaneously, up to 8 packages. Each package includes multiple channels, up to 32 channels. At one moment, one channel is enabled to provide service to the NCSI enabled interface. Besides, each channel comprises capabilities, modes, filters, version and statistics etc. All of them are resources to NCSI protocol stack. At the meanwhile, the NCSI device seen from NIC driver is represented by "struct ncsi_dev", which is expected to populated and started by NIC driver before the NIC can work. All possible NCSI packages and NCSI channels connected to the NCSI interface are tracked from the NCSI device. Also, the NCSI device recognizes active channel that is currently providing service to NCSI enabled interface. Also, the NCSI requests (pairs of command and response) are embedded in NCSI device. This introduces the data structs to represents the NCSI resources mentioned as above. Also, functions used by NCSI stack internally are implemented. Besides, this introduces kernel config option CONFIG_NET_NCSI to enable NCSI stack. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan

misc/bt-host: Add Aspeed BT IPMI host driver

2015-11-18T04:13:09+00:00

This patch adds a simple device driver to expose the iBT interface on Aspeed chips as a character device (/dev/bt). Plus various fixes from jk: - Fix compile warnings. We have a bunch of unused functions. - Remove unused members of struct bt_host - Fix whitespace issues - Use explicit u8 type for bt registers to avoid any issues with signed vs unsigned types. - Remove chrdev_region, use module_platform_driver - Unify device name to bt-host - Use a more explicit compatible string. The interface we're using here is specific to the aspeed hardware implementation. - Use a dynamic miscdev; no need to use a global miscdev here. - Avoid global bt_host. Rather than having a global bt_host, use references from the file & miscdev. This removes the restriction on the number of bt-host devices. - Add ioctl to assert SMS_ATN - Remove bt_host->ctrl, nothing uses it. - Read bt ctrl state after poll_wait - Fix unit address for ibt - Add facility for interrupt-driven BT messages. This change adds a facility for the bt-host driver to use interrupts rather than polling via a timer. If we find an interrupts property in the device tree, we'll enable interrupts on the bt device. - Use devm_ioremap_resource(). No need to unpack struct resource, and we don't need ioremap_uncached here. Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple Signed-off-by: Jeremy Kerr Signed-off-by: Joel Stanley

openvswitch: Clarify conntrack COMMIT behaviour

2015-10-22T02:33:38+00:00

The presence of this attribute does not modify the ct_state for the current packet, only future packets. Make this more clear in the header definition. Signed-off-by: Joe Stringer Acked-by: Thomas Graf Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rtnetlink: fix gcc -Wconversion warning

2015-10-13T02:40:30+00:00

RTA_ALIGNTO is currently define as 4. It has to be 4U to prevent warning for RTA_ALIGN and RTA_DATA expansions when -Wconversion gcc option is enabled. This follows NLMSG_ALIGNTO definition in . Signed-off-by: Ronen Arad Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

openvswitch: Change CT_ATTR_FLAGS to CT_ATTR_COMMIT

2015-10-07T12:03:06+00:00

Previously, the CT_ATTR_FLAGS attribute, when nested under the OVS_ACTION_ATTR_CT, encoded a 32-bit bitmask of flags that modify the semantics of the ct action. It's more extensible to just represent each flag as a nested attribute, and this requires no additional error checking to reject flags that aren't currently supported.

openvswitch: Extend ct_state match field to 32 bits

2015-10-07T12:03:06+00:00

The ct_state field was initially added as an 8-bit field, however six of the bits are already being used and use cases are already starting to appear that may push the limits of this field. This patch extends the field to 32 bits while retaining the internal representation of 8 bits. This should cover forward compatibility of the ABI for the foreseeable future. This patch also reorders the OVS_CS_F_* bits to be sequential. Suggested-by: Jarno Rajahalme Signed-off-by: Joe Stringer Acked-by: Pravin B Shelar Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
