vlan: also check phy_driver ts_info for vlan's real device

2018-04-02T00:53:50+00:00

Just like function ethtool_get_ts_info(), we should also consider the phy_driver ts_info call back. For example, driver dp83640. Fixes: 37dd9255b2f6 ("vlan: Pass ethtool get_ts_info queries to real device.") Acked-by: Richard Cochran Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointers

2017-06-16T15:48:40+00:00

It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - fn(SKB, LEN)[0] + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

net: Remove support for bridge bypass ndos from stacked devices

2017-06-08T18:16:28+00:00

Remove support for bridge bypass ndos from stacked devices. At this point no driver which supports stack device behavior offload supports operation with SELF flag. The case for upper device is already taken care of in both of the following cases: 1. FDB add/del - driver should check at the notification cb if the stacked device contains his ports. 2. Port attribute - calls switchdev code directly which checks for case of stack device. Signed-off-by: Arkadi Sharshevsky Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private netdev state.

2017-06-07T19:53:24+00:00

Network devices can allocate reasources and private memory using netdev_ops->ndo_init(). However, the release of these resources can occur in one of two different places. Either netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() or netdev->destructor(). The decision of which operation frees the resources depends upon whether it is necessary for all netdev refs to be released before it is safe to perform the freeing. netdev_ops->ndo_uninit() presumably can occur right after the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier completes and the unicast and multicast address lists are flushed. netdev->destructor(), on the other hand, does not run until the netdev references all go away. Further complicating the situation is that netdev->destructor() almost universally does also a free_netdev(). This creates a problem for the logic in register_netdevice(). Because all callers of register_netdevice() manage the freeing of the netdev, and invoke free_netdev(dev) if register_netdevice() fails. If netdev_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, but something else fails inside of register_netdevice(), it does call ndo_ops->ndo_uninit(). But it is not able to invoke netdev->destructor(). This is because netdev->destructor() will do a free_netdev() and then the caller of register_netdevice() will do the same. However, this means that the resources that would normally be released by netdev->destructor() will not be. Over the years drivers have added local hacks to deal with this, by invoking their destructor parts by hand when register_netdevice() fails. Many drivers do not try to deal with this, and instead we have leaks. Let's close this hole by formalizing the distinction between what private things need to be freed up by netdev->destructor() and whether the driver needs unregister_netdevice() to perform the free_netdev(). netdev->priv_destructor() performs all actions to free up the private resources that used to be freed by netdev->destructor(), except for free_netdev(). netdev->needs_free_netdev is a boolean that indicates whether free_netdev() should be done at the end of unregister_netdevice(). Now, register_netdevice() can sanely release all resources after ndo_ops->ndo_init() succeeds, by invoking both ndo_ops->ndo_uninit() and netdev->priv_destructor(). And at the end of unregister_netdevice(), we invoke netdev->priv_destructor() and optionally call free_netdev(). Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

vlan: Keep NETIF_F_HW_CSUM similar to other software devices

2017-05-08T18:39:19+00:00

Vlan devices, like all other software devices, enable NETIF_F_HW_CSUM feature. However, unlike all the othe other software devices, vlans will switch to using IP|IPV6_CSUM features, if the underlying devices uses them. In these situations, checksum offload features on the vlan device can't be controlled via ethtool. This patch makes vlans keep HW_CSUM feature if the underlying device supports checksum offloading. This makes vlan devices behave like other software devices, and restores control to the user. A side-effect is that some offload settings (typically UFO) may be enabled on the vlan device while being disabled on the HW. However, the GSO code will correctly process the packets. This actually results in slightly better raw throughput. Signed-off-by: Vladislav Yasevich Acked-by: Alexander Duyck Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net/8021q: create device with all possible features in wanted_features

2017-03-21T22:26:26+00:00

wanted_features is a set of features which have to be enabled if a hardware allows that. Currently when a vlan device is created, its wanted_features is set to current features of its base device. The problem is that the base device can get new features and they are not propagated to vlan-s of this device. If we look at bonding devices, they doesn't have this problem and this patch suggests to fix this issue by the same way how it works for bonding devices. We meet this problem, when we try to create a vlan device over a bonding device. When a system are booting, real devices require time to be initialized, so bonding devices created without slaves, then vlan devices are created and only then ethernet devices are added to the bonding device. As a result we have vlan devices with disabled scatter-gather. * create a bonding device $ ip link add bond0 type bond $ ethtool -k bond0 | grep scatter scatter-gather: off tx-scatter-gather: off [requested on] tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: off [requested on] * create a vlan device $ ip link add link bond0 name bond0.10 type vlan id 10 $ ethtool -k bond0.10 | grep scatter scatter-gather: off tx-scatter-gather: off tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: off * Add a slave device to bond0 $ ip link set dev eth0 master bond0 And now we can see that the bond0 device has got the scatter-gather feature, but the bond0.10 hasn't got it. [root@laptop linux-task-diag]# ethtool -k bond0 | grep scatter scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather: on tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: on [root@laptop linux-task-diag]# ethtool -k bond0.10 | grep scatter scatter-gather: off tx-scatter-gather: off tx-scatter-gather-fraglist: off With this patch the vlan device will get all new features from the bonding device. Here is a call trace how features which are set in this patch reach dev->wanted_features. register_netdevice vlan_dev_init ... dev->hw_features = NETIF_F_HW_CSUM | NETIF_F_SG | NETIF_F_FRAGLIST | NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE | NETIF_F_HIGHDMA | NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC | NETIF_F_ALL_FCOE; dev->features |= dev->hw_features; ... dev->wanted_features = dev->features & dev->hw_features; __netdev_update_features(dev); vlan_dev_fix_features ...

net: remove ndo_neigh_{construct, destroy} from stacked devices

2017-02-06T16:25:57+00:00

In commit 18bfb924f000 ("net: introduce default neigh_construct/destroy ndo calls for L2 upper devices") we added these ndos to stacked devices such as team and bond, so that calls will be propagated to mlxsw. However, previous commit removed the reliance on these ndos and no new users of these ndos have appeared since above mentioned commit. We can therefore safely remove this dead code.

net: make ndo_get_stats64 a void function

2017-01-08T22:51:44+00:00

The network device operation for reading statistics is only called in one place, and it ignores the return value. Having a structure return value is potentially confusing because some future driver could incorrectly assume that the return value was used. Fix all drivers with ndo_get_stats64 to have a void function. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
