====================
net: atlantic: more fuzzing fixes
It essentially describes four problems:
1) validate rxd_wb->next_desc_ptr before populating buff->next
2) "frag[0] not initialized" case in aq_ring_rx_clean()
3) limit iterations handling fragments in aq_ring_rx_clean()
4) validate hw_head_ in hw_atl_b0_hw_ring_tx_head_update()
(1) was fixed by Zekun Shen <bruceshenzk@gmail.com> around the same time with
"atlantic: Fix buff_ring OOB in aq_ring_rx_clean" (SHA1 5f50153288452e10).
I've added one "clean up" contribution:
"net: atlantic: reduce scope of is_rsc_complete"
I tested the "original" patches using chromeos-v5.4 kernel branch:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/q/hashtag:pcinet-atlantic-2022q1+(status:open%20OR%20status:merged)
I've forward ported those patches to 5.18-rc2 and compiled them but am
unable to test them on 5.18-rc2 kernel (logistics problems).
Credit largely goes to ChromeOS Fuzzing team members:
Aashay Shringarpure, Yi Chou, Shervin Oloumi
V2 changes:
o drop first patch - was already fixed upstream differently
o reduce (4) "validate hw_head_" to simple bounds checking.

In aq_ring_rx_clean(), if buff->is_eop is not set AND
buff->len < AQ_CFG_RX_HDR_SIZE, then hdr_len remains equal to
buff->len and skb_add_rx_frag(xxx, *0*, ...) is not called.
The loop following this code starts calling skb_add_rx_frag() starting
with i=1 and thus frag[0] is never initialized. Since i is initialized
to zero at the top of the primary loop, we can just reference and
post-increment i instead of hardcoding the 0 when calling
skb_add_rx_frag() the first time.

mlx5-updates-2022-05-09
1) Gavin Li, adds exit route from waiting for FW init on device boot and
increases FW init timeout on health recovery flow
2) Support 4 ports HCAs LAG mode
Mark Bloch Says:
================
This series adds to mlx5 drivers support for 4 ports HCAs.
Starting with ConnectX-7 HCAs with 4 ports are possible.
As most driver parts aren't affected by such configuration most driver
code is unchanged.
Specially the only affected areas are:
- Lag
- Devcom
- Merged E-Switch
- Single FDB E-Switch
Lag was chosen to be converted first. Creating hardware LAG when all 4
ports are added to the same bond device.
Devom, merge E-Switch and single FDB E-Switch, are marked as supporting
only 2 ports HCAs and future patches will add support for 4 ports HCAs.
In order to activate the hardware lag a user can execute the:
ip link add bond0 type bond
ip link set bond0 type bond miimon 100 mode 2
ip link set eth2 master bond0
ip link set eth3 master bond0
ip link set eth4 master bond0
ip link set eth5 master bond0
Where eth2, eth3, eth4 and eth5 are the PFs of the same HCA.

====================
Move Siena into a separate subdirectory
The Siena NICs (SFN5000 and SFN6000 series) went EOL in November 2021.
Most of these adapters have been remove from our test labs, and testing
has been reduced to a minimum.
This patch series creates a separate kernel module for the Siena architecture,
analogous to what was done for Falcon some years ago.
This reduces our maintenance for the sfc.ko module, and allows us to
enhance the EF10 and EF100 drivers without the risk of breaking Siena NICs.
After this series further enhancements are needed to differentiate the
new kernel module from sfc.ko, and the Siena code can be removed from sfc.ko.
Thes will be posted as a small follow-up series.
The Siena module is not built by default, but can be enabled
using Kconfig option SFC_SIENA. This will create module sfc-siena.ko.
Patches
Patches 1-3 establish the code base for the Siena driver.
Patches 4-10 ensure the allyesconfig build succeeds.
Patch 11 adds the basic Siena module.
I do not expect patch 1 through 3 to be reviewed, they are FYI only.
No checkpatch issues were resolved as part of these, but they
were fixed in the subsequent patches.
Testing
Various build tests were done such as allyesconfig, W=1 and sparse.
The new sfc-siena.ko and sfc.ko modules were tested on a machine with both
these NICs in them, and several tests were run on both drivers.

We have run into an issue that a task gets stuck in
balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() when perform I/O stress testing.
The reason we observed is that an I_DIRTY_PAGES inode with lots
of dirty pages is in b_dirty_time list and standard background
writeback cannot writeback the inode.
After studing the relevant code, the following scenario may lead
to the issue:
task1 task2
----- -----
fuse_flush
write_inode_now //in b_dirty_time
writeback_single_inode
__writeback_single_inode
fuse_write_end
filemap_dirty_folio
__xa_set_mark:PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
lock inode->i_lock
if mapping tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY
inode->i_state |= I_DIRTY_PAGES
unlock inode->i_lock
__mark_inode_dirty:I_DIRTY_PAGES
lock inode->i_lock
-was dirty,inode stays in
-b_dirty_time
unlock inode->i_lock
if(!(inode->i_state & I_DIRTY_All))
-not true,so nothing done
This patch moves the dirty inode to b_dirty list when the inode
currently is not queued in b_io or b_more_io list at the end of
writeback_single_inode.

The impact of this regression is the same for resume that I saw on
thaw: the kernel hangs and nothing except SysRq rebooting can be done.
Fixes regression in commit cbe6c3a8f8f4 ("net: atlantic: invert deep
par in pm functions, preventing null derefs"), where I disabled deep
pm resets in suspend and resume, trying to make sense of the
atl_resume_common() deep parameter in the first place.
It turns out, that atlantic always has to deep reset on pm
operations. Even though I expected that and tested resume, I screwed
up by kexec-rebooting into an unpatched kernel, thus missing the
breakage.
This fixup obsoletes the deep parameter of atl_resume_common, but I
leave the cleanup for the maintainers to post to mainline.
Suspend and hibernation were successfully tested by the reporters.

'ptp-support-hardware-clocks-with-additional-free-running-cycle-counter'
Gerhard Engleder says:
====================
ptp: Support hardware clocks with additional free running cycle counter
ptp vclocks require a clock with free running time for the timecounter.
Currently only a physical clock forced to free running is supported.
If vclocks are used, then the physical clock cannot be synchronized
anymore. The synchronized time is not available in hardware in this
case. As a result, timed transmission with TAPRIO hardware support
is not possible anymore.
If hardware would support a free running time additionally to the
physical clock, then the physical clock does not need to be forced to
free running. Thus, the physical clocks can still be synchronized while
vclocks are in use.
The physical clock could be used to synchronize the time domain of the
TSN network and trigger TAPRIO. In parallel vclocks can be used to
synchronize other time domains.
One year ago I thought for two time domains within a TSN network also
two physical clocks are required. This would lead to new kernel
interfaces for asking for the second clock, ... . But actually for a
time triggered system like TSN there can be only one time domain that
controls the system itself. All other time domains belong to other
layers, but not to the time triggered system itself. So other time
domains can be based on a free running counter if similar mechanisms
like 2 step synchroisation are used.
Synchronisation was tested with two time domains between two directly
connected hosts. Each host run two ptp4l instances, the first used the
physical clock and the second used the virtual clock. I used my FPGA
based network controller as network device. ptp4l was used in
combination with the virtual clock support patches from Miroslav
Lichvar.
v4:

- update SKBTX_ANY_TSTAMP (Paolo Abeni)
- use separate bits for new tx_flags (Richard Cochran)
v3:
- optimize ptp_convert_timestamp (Richard Cochran)
- call dev_get_by_napi_id() only if needed (Richard Cochran)
- use non-negated logical test (Richard Cochran)
- add comment for skipped output (Richard Cochran)
- add comment for SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_USE_CYCLES masking (Richard Cochran)
v2:
- rename ptp_clock cycles to has_cycles (Richard Cochran)

The TSN endpoint Ethernet MAC supports a free running counter
additionally to its clock. This free running counter can be read and
hardware timestamps are supported. As the name implies, this counter
cannot be set and its frequency cannot be adjusted.
Add free running cycle counter support based on this free running
counter to physical clock. This also requires hardware time stamps
based on that free running counter.

ptp_convert_timestamp() is called in the RX path of network messages.
The current implementation takes ~5000ns on 1.2GHz A53. This is too much
for the hot path of packet processing.
Introduce hash table for fast vclock lookup in ptp_convert_timestamp().
The execution time of ptp_convert_timestamp() is reduced to ~700ns on
1.2GHz A53.

If a physical clock supports a free running cycle counter, then
timestamps shall be based on this time too. For TX it is known in
advance before the transmission if a timestamp based on the free running
cycle counter is needed. For RX it is impossible to know which timestamp
is needed before the packet is received and assigned to a socket.
Support late timestamp determination by a network device. Therefore, an
address/cookie is stored within the new netdev_data field of struct
skb_shared_hwtstamps. This address/cookie is provided to a new network
device function called ndo_get_tstamp(), which returns a timestamp based
on the normal/adjustable time or based on the free running cycle
counter. If function is not supported, then timestamp handling is not
changed.
This mechanism is intended for RX, but TX use is also possible.

ptp_convert_timestamp() converts only the timestamp hwtstamp, which is
a field of the argument with the type struct skb_shared_hwtstamps *. So
a pointer to the hwtstamp field of this structure is sufficient.
Rework ptp_convert_timestamp() to use an argument of type ktime_t *.
This allows to add additional timestamp manipulation stages before the
call of ptp_convert_timestamp().
