<id>urn:sha1:92f62485b3715882cd397b0cbd80a96d179b86d6</id>
<content type='text'>
Normally it is expected that the dsa_device_ops :: rcv() method finishes
parsing the DSA tag and consumes it, then never looks at it again.

But commit c0bcf537667c ("net: dsa: ocelot: add hardware timestamping
support for Felix") added support for RX timestamping in a very
unconventional way. On this switch, a partial timestamp is available in
the DSA header, but the driver got away with not parsing that timestamp
right away, but instead delayed that parsing for a little longer:

dsa_switch_rcv():
	nskb = cpu_dp-&gt;rcv(skb, dev); &lt;------------- not here
	-&gt; ocelot_rcv()
	...

	skb = nskb;
	skb_push(skb, ETH_HLEN);
	skb-&gt;pkt_type = PACKET_HOST;
	skb-&gt;protocol = eth_type_trans(skb, skb-&gt;dev);

	...

	if (dsa_skb_defer_rx_timestamp(p, skb)) &lt;--- but here
	-&gt; felix_rxtstamp()
		return 0;

When in felix_rxtstamp(), this driver accounted for the fact that
eth_type_trans() happened in the meanwhile, so it got a hold of the
extraction header again by subtracting (ETH_HLEN + OCELOT_TAG_LEN) bytes
from the current skb-&gt;data.

This worked for quite some time but was quite fragile from the very
beginning. Not to mention that having DSA tag parsing split in two
different files, under different folders (net/dsa/tag_ocelot.c vs
drivers/net/dsa/ocelot/felix.c) made it quite non-obvious for patches to
come that they might break this.

Finally, the blamed commit does the following: at the end of
ocelot_rcv(), it checks whether the skb payload contains a VLAN header.
If it does, and this port is under a VLAN-aware bridge, that VLAN ID
might not be correct in the sense that the packet might have suffered
VLAN rewriting due to TCAM rules (VCAP IS1). So we consume the VLAN ID
from the skb payload using __skb_vlan_pop(), and take the classified
VLAN ID from the DSA tag, and construct a hwaccel VLAN tag with the
classified VLAN, and the skb payload is VLAN-untagged.

The big problem is that __skb_vlan_pop() does:

	memmove(skb-&gt;data + VLAN_HLEN, skb-&gt;data, 2 * ETH_ALEN);
	__skb_pull(skb, VLAN_HLEN);

aka it moves the Ethernet header 4 bytes to the right, and pulls 4 bytes
from the skb headroom (effectively also moving skb-&gt;data, by definition).
So for felix_rxtstamp()'s fragile logic, all bets are off now.
Instead of having the "extraction" pointer point to the DSA header,
it actually points to 4 bytes _inside_ the extraction header.
Corollary, the last 4 bytes of the "extraction" header are in fact 4
stale bytes of the destination MAC address from the Ethernet header,
from prior to the __skb_vlan_pop() movement.

So of course, RX timestamps are completely bogus when the system is
configured in this way.

The fix is actually very simple: just don't structure the code like that.
For better or worse, the DSA PTP timestamping API does not offer a
straightforward way for drivers to present their RX timestamps, but
other drivers (sja1105) have established a simple mechanism to carry
their RX timestamp from dsa_device_ops :: rcv() all the way to
dsa_switch_ops :: port_rxtstamp() and even later. That mechanism is to
simply save the partial timestamp to the skb-&gt;cb, and complete it later.

Question: why don't we simply populate the skb's struct
skb_shared_hwtstamps from ocelot_rcv(), and bother with this
complication of propagating the timestamp to felix_rxtstamp()?

Answer: dsa_switch_ops :: port_rxtstamp() answers the question whether
PTP packets need sleepable context to retrieve the full RX timestamp.
Currently felix_rxtstamp() answers "no, thanks" to that question, and
calls ocelot_ptp_gettime64() from softirq atomic context. This is
understandable, since Felix VSC9959 is a PCIe memory-mapped switch, so
hardware access does not require sleeping. But the felix driver is
preparing for the introduction of other switches where hardware access
is over a slow bus like SPI or MDIO:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210814025003.2449143-1-colin.foster@in-advantage.com/

So I would like to keep this code structure, so the rework needed when
that driver will need PTP support will be minimal (answer "yes, I need
deferred context for this skb's RX timestamp", then the partial
timestamp will still be found in the skb-&gt;cb.

This converts instances of
	bitmap_foo(args..., __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS)
to
	linkmode_foo(args...)

I manually fixed up some lines to prevent them from being excessively
long. Otherwise, this change was generated with the following semantic
patch:

// Generated with
// echo linux/linkmode.h &gt; includes
// git grep -Flf includes include/ | cut -f 2- -d / | cat includes - \
// | sort | uniq | tee new_includes | wc -l &amp;&amp; mv new_includes includes

The NXP LS1028A switch has two Ethernet ports towards the CPU, but only
one of them is capable of acting as an NPI port at a time (inject and
extract packets using DSA tags).

However, using the alternative ocelot-8021q tagging protocol, it should
be possible to use both CPU ports symmetrically, but for that we need to
mark both ports in the device tree as DSA masters.

In the process of doing that, it can be seen that traffic to/from the
network stack gets broken, and this is because the Felix driver iterates
through all DSA CPU ports and configures them as NPI ports. But since
there can only be a single NPI port, we effectively end up in a
situation where DSA thinks the default CPU port is the first one, but
the hardware port configured to be an NPI is the last one.

I would like to treat this as a bug, because if the updated device trees
are going to start circulating, it would be really good for existing
kernels to support them, too.

<id>urn:sha1:1328a883258b4507909090ed0a9ad63771f9f780</id>
<content type='text'>
At present, when a PTP packet which requires TX timestamping gets
dropped under congestion by the switch, things go downhill very fast.
The driver keeps a clone of that skb in a queue of packets awaiting TX
timestamp interrupts, but interrupts will never be raised for the
dropped packets.

Moreover, matching timestamped packets to timestamps is done by a 2-bit
timestamp ID, and this can wrap around and we can match on the wrong skb.

Since with the default NPI-based tagging protocol, we get no notification
about packet drops, the best we can do is eventually recover from the
drop of a PTP frame: its skb will be dead memory until another skb which
was assigned the same timestamp ID happens to find it.

However, with the ocelot-8021q tagger which injects packets using the
manual register interface, it appears that we can check for more
information, such as:

- whether the input queue has reached the high watermark or not
- whether the injection group's FIFO can accept additional data or not

so we know that a PTP frame is likely to get dropped before actually
sending it, and drop it ourselves (because DSA uses NETIF_F_LLTX, so it
can't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY to ask the qdisc to requeue the packet).

But when we do that, we can also remove the skb from the timestamping
queue, because there surely won't be any timestamp that matches it.

Michael reported that when using the "ocelot-8021q" tagging protocol,
the switch driver module must be manually loaded before the tagging
protocol can be loaded/is available.

This appears to be the same problem described here:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20210908220834.d7gmtnwrorhharna@skbuf/
where due to the fact that DSA tagging protocols make use of symbols
exported by the switch drivers, circular dependencies appear and this
breaks module autoloading.

The ocelot_8021q driver needs the ocelot_can_inject() and
ocelot_port_inject_frame() functions from the switch library. Previously
the wrong approach was taken to solve that dependency: shims were
provided for the case where the ocelot switch library was compiled out,
but that turns out to be insufficient, because the dependency when the
switch lib _is_ compiled is problematic too.

We cannot declare ocelot_can_inject() and ocelot_port_inject_frame() as
static inline functions, because these access I/O functions like
__ocelot_write_ix() which is called by ocelot_write_rix(). Making those
static inline basically means exposing the whole guts of the ocelot
switch library, not ideal...

We already have one tagging protocol driver which calls into the switch
driver during xmit but not using any exported symbol: sja1105_defer_xmit.
We can do the same thing here: create a kthread worker and one work item
per skb, and let the switch driver itself do the register accesses to
send the skb, and then consume it.

PTP packets with 2-step TX timestamp requests are matched to packets
based on the egress port number and a 6-bit timestamp identifier.
All PTP timestamps are held in a common FIFO that is 128 entry deep.

This patch ensures that back-to-back timestamping requests cannot exceed
the hardware FIFO capacity. If that happens, simply send the packets
without requesting a TX timestamp to be taken (in the case of felix,
since the DSA API has a void return code in ds-&gt;ops-&gt;port_txtstamp) or
drop them (in the case of ocelot).

I've moved the ts_id_lock from a per-port basis to a per-switch basis,
because we need separate accounting for both numbers of PTP frames in
flight. And since we need locking to inc/dec the per-switch counter,
that also offers protection for the per-port counter and hence there is
no reason to have a per-port counter anymore.

Since both forms are accepted, let's search for both when we
pre-validate the PHY modes.

Lino reports that on his system with bcmgenet as DSA master and KSZ9897
as a switch, rebooting or shutting down never works properly.

What does the bcmgenet driver have special to trigger this, that other
DSA masters do not? It has an implementation of -&gt;shutdown which simply
calls its -&gt;remove implementation. Otherwise said, it unregisters its
network interface on shutdown.

This message can be seen in a loop, and it hangs the reboot process there:

unregister_netdevice: waiting for eth0 to become free. Usage count = 3

So why 3?

A usage count of 1 is normal for a registered network interface, and any
virtual interface which links itself as an upper of that will increment
it via dev_hold. In the case of DSA, this is the call path:

dsa_slave_create
-&gt; netdev_upper_dev_link
   -&gt; __netdev_upper_dev_link
      -&gt; __netdev_adjacent_dev_insert
         -&gt; dev_hold

So a DSA switch with 3 interfaces will result in a usage count elevated
by two, and netdev_wait_allrefs will wait until they have gone away.

Other stacked interfaces, like VLAN, watch NETDEV_UNREGISTER events and
delete themselves, but DSA cannot just vanish and go poof, at most it
can unbind itself from the switch devices, but that must happen strictly
earlier compared to when the DSA master unregisters its net_device, so
reacting on the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event is way too late.

It seems that it is a pretty established pattern to have a driver's
-&gt;shutdown hook redirect to its -&gt;remove hook, so the same code is
executed regardless of whether the driver is unbound from the device, or
the system is just shutting down. As Florian puts it, it is quite a big
hammer for bcmgenet to unregister its net_device during shutdown, but
having a common code path with the driver unbind helps ensure it is well
tested.

So DSA, for better or for worse, has to live with that and engage in an
arms race of implementing the -&gt;shutdown hook too, from all individual
drivers, and do something sane when paired with masters that unregister
their net_device there. The only sane thing to do, of course, is to
unlink from the master.

However, complications arise really quickly.

The pattern of redirecting -&gt;shutdown to -&gt;remove is not unique to
bcmgenet or even to net_device drivers. In fact, SPI controllers do it
too (see dspi_shutdown -&gt; dspi_remove), and presumably, I2C controllers
and MDIO controllers do it too (this is something I have not researched
too deeply, but even if this is not the case today, it is certainly
plausible to happen in the future, and must be taken into consideration).

Since DSA switches might be SPI devices, I2C devices, MDIO devices, the
insane implication is that for the exact same DSA switch device, we
might have both -&gt;shutdown and -&gt;remove getting called.

So we need to do something with that insane environment. The pattern
I've come up with is "if this, then not that", so if either -&gt;shutdown
or -&gt;remove gets called, we set the device's drvdata to NULL, and in the
other hook, we check whether the drvdata is NULL and just do nothing.
This is probably not necessary for platform devices, just for devices on
buses, but I would really insist for consistency among drivers, because
when code is copy-pasted, it is not always copy-pasted from the best
sources.

So depending on whether the DSA switch's -&gt;remove or -&gt;shutdown will get
called first, we cannot really guarantee even for the same driver if
rebooting will result in the same code path on all platforms. But
nonetheless, we need to do something minimally reasonable on -&gt;shutdown
too to fix the bug. Of course, the -&gt;remove will do more (a full
teardown of the tree, with all data structures freed, and this is why
the bug was not caught for so long). The new -&gt;shutdown method is kept
separate from dsa_unregister_switch not because we couldn't have
unregistered the switch, but simply in the interest of doing something
quick and to the point.

The big question is: does the DSA switch's -&gt;shutdown get called earlier
than the DSA master's -&gt;shutdown? If not, there is still a risk that we
might still trigger the WARN_ON in unregister_netdevice that says we are
attempting to unregister a net_device which has uppers. That's no good.
Although the reference to the master net_device won't physically go away
even if DSA's -&gt;shutdown comes afterwards, remember we have a dev_hold
on it.

The answer to that question lies in this comment above device_link_add:

 * A side effect of the link creation is re-ordering of dpm_list and the
 * devices_kset list by moving the consumer device and all devices depending
 * on it to the ends of these lists (that does not happen to devices that have
 * not been registered when this function is called).

so the fact that DSA uses device_link_add towards its master is not
exactly for nothing. device_shutdown() walks devices_kset from the back,
so this is our guarantee that DSA's shutdown happens before the master's
shutdown.
