2022-05-23eth: de4x5: remove support for Generic DECchip & DIGITAL EtherWORKS PCI/EISAJakub Kicinski2-190/+0
Looks like almost all changes to this driver had been tree-wide refactoring since git era begun. There is one commit from Al 15 years ago which could potentially be fixing a real bug. The driver is using virt_to_bus() and is a real magnet for pointless cleanups. It seems unlikely to have real users. Let's try to shed this maintenance burden.

2022-05-16docs: ctucanfd: Use 'kernel-figure' directive instead of 'figure'Akira Yokosawa1-2/+2
Two issues were observed in the ReST doc added by commit c3a0addefbde ("docs: ctucanfd: CTU CAN FD open-source IP core documentation.") with Sphinx versions 2.4.4 and 4.5.0. The plain "figure" directive broke "make pdfdocs" due to a missing PDF figure. For conversion of SVG -> PDF to work, the "kernel-figure" directive, which is an extension for kernel documentation, should be used instead. The directive of "code:: raw" causes a warning from both "make htmldocs" and "make pdfdocs", which reads: [...]/can/ctu/ctucanfd-driver.rst:75: WARNING: Pygments lexer name 'raw' is not known A plain literal-block marker should suffice where no syntax highlighting is intended. Fix the issues by using suitable directive and marker. Fixes: c3a0addefbde ("docs: ctucanfd: CTU CAN FD open-source IP core documentation.")

Looks like all the changes to this driver had been tree-wide refactoring since git era begun.

2021-06-10net/mlx5: Bridge, support pvid and untagged vlan configurationsVlad Buslov1-0/+8
Implement support for pushing vlan header into untagged packet on ingress of port that has pvid configured and support for popping vlan on egress of port that has the matching vlan configured as untagged. To support such configurations packet reformat contexts of {INSERT|REMOVE}_HEADER types are created per such vlan and saved to struct mlx5_esw_bridge_vlan which allows all FDB entries on particular vlan to share single packet reformat instance. When initializing FDB entries with pvid or untagged vlan type set its mlx5_flow_act->pkt_reformat action accordingly. Flush all flows when removing vlan from port. This is necessary because even though software bridge removes all FDB entries before removing their vlan, mlx5 bridge implementation deletes their corresponding flow entries from hardware in asynchronous workqueue task, which will cause firmware error if vlan packet reformat context is deleted before all flows that point to it.

2021-06-10net/mlx5: Bridge, handle FDB eventsVlad Buslov1-0/+15
Hardware supported by mlx5 driver doesn't provide learning and requires the driver to emulate all switch-like behavior in software. As such, all packets by default go through miss path, appear on representor and get to software bridge, if it is the upper device of the representor. This causes bridge to process packet in software, learn the MAC address to FDB and send SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE event to all subscribers. In order to offload FDB entries in mlx5, register switchdev notifier callback and implement support for both 'added_by_user' and dynamic FDB entry SWITCHDEV_FDB_ADD_TO_DEVICE events asynchronously using new mlx5_esw_bridge_offloads->wq ordered workqueue. In workqueue callback offload the ingress rule (matching FDB entry MAC as packet source MAC) and egress table rule (matching FDB entry MAC as destination MAC). For ingress table rule also match source vport to ensure that only traffic coming from expected bridge port is matched by offloaded rule. Save all the relevant FDB entry data in struct mlx5_esw_bridge_fdb_entry instance and insert the instance in new mlx5_esw_bridge->fdb_list list (for traversing all entries by software ageing implementation in following patch) and in new mlx5_esw_bridge->fdb_ht hash table for fast retrieval. Notify the bridge that FDB entry has been offloaded by sending SWITCHDEV_FDB_OFFLOADED notification. Delete FDB entry on reception of SWITCHDEV_FDB_DEL_TO_DEVICE event.

2021-04-14net/mlx5: E-Switch, let user to enable disable metadataParav Pandit1-0/+34
Currently each packet inserted in eswitch is tagged with a internal metadata to indicate source vport. Metadata tagging is not always needed. Metadata insertion is needed for multi-port RoCE, failover between representors and stacked devices. In many other cases, metadata enablement is not needed. Metadata insertion slows down the packet processing rate of the E-switch when it is in switchdev mode. Below table show performance gain with metadata disabled for VXLAN offload rules in both SMFS and DMFS steering mode on ConnectX-5 device. ---------------------------------------------- | steering | metadata | pkt size | rx pps | | mode | | | (million) | ---------------------------------------------- | smfs | disabled | 128Bytes | 42 | ---------------------------------------------- | smfs | enabled | 128Bytes | 36 | ---------------------------------------------- | dmfs | disabled | 128Bytes | 42 | ---------------------------------------------- | dmfs | enabled | 128Bytes | 36 | ---------------------------------------------- Hence, allow user to disable metadata using driver specific devlink parameter. Metadata setting of the eswitch is applicable only for the switchdev mode. Example to show and disable metadata before changing eswitch mode: $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata pci/0000:06:00.0: name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific values: cmode runtime value true $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \ name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Roi Dayan <roid@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Vu Pham <vuhuong@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> --- changelog: v1->v2: - added performance numbers in commit log - updated commit log and documentation for switchdev mode - added explicit note on when user can disable metadata in documentation

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5 subfunction support Parav Pandit says: This patchset introduces support for mlx5 subfunction (SF). A subfunction is a lightweight function that has a parent PCI function on which it is deployed. mlx5 subfunction has its own function capabilities and its own resources. This means a subfunction has its own dedicated queues(txq, rxq, cq, eq). These queues are neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function. When subfunction is RDMA capable, it has its own QP1, GID table and rdma resources neither shared nor stolen from the parent PCI function. A subfunction has dedicated window in PCI BAR space that is not shared with the other subfunctions or parent PCI function. This ensures that all class devices of the subfunction accesses only assigned PCI BAR space. A Subfunction supports eswitch representation through which it supports tc offloads. User must configure eswitch to send/receive packets from/to subfunction port. Subfunctions share PCI level resources such as PCI MSI-X IRQs with their other subfunctions and/or with its parent PCI function. Subfunction support is discussed in detail in RFC [1] and [2]. RFC [1] and extension [2] describes requirements, design and proposed plumbing using devlink, auxiliary bus and sysfs for systemd/udev support. Functionality of this patchset is best explained using real examples further below. overview: -------- A subfunction can be created and deleted by a user using devlink port add/delete interface. A subfunction can be configured using devlink port function attribute before its activated. When a subfunction is activated, it results in an auxiliary device on the host PCI device where it is deployed. A driver binds to the auxiliary device that further creates supported class devices. example subfunction usage sequence: ----------------------------------- Change device to switchdev mode: $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev Add a devlink port of subfunction flavour: $ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88 Configure mac address of the port function: $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 Now activate the function: $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state active Now use the auxiliary device and class devices: $ devlink dev show pci/0000:06:00.0 auxiliary/mlx5_core.sf.4 $ ip link show 127: ens2f0np0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 24:8a:07:b3:d1:12 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff altname enp6s0f0np0 129: p0sf88: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:00:00:00:88:88 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ rdma dev show 43: rdmap6s0f0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 44: mlx5_0: node_type ca fw 16.29.0550 node_guid 0000:00ff:fe00:8888 sys_image_guid 248a:0703:00b3:d112 After use inactivate the function: $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 state inactive Now delete the subfunction port: $ devlink port del ens2f0npf0sf88 [1] https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200519092258.GF4655@nanopsycho/ [2] https://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=158555928517777&w=2 ================= * tag 'mlx5-updates-2021-01-13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux: net/mlx5: Add devlink subfunction port documentation devlink: Extend devlink port documentation for subfunctions devlink: Add devlink port documentation net/mlx5: SF, Port function state change support net/mlx5: SF, Add port add delete functionality net/mlx5: E-switch, Add eswitch helpers for SF vport net/mlx5: E-switch, Prepare eswitch to handle SF vport net/mlx5: SF, Add auxiliary device driver net/mlx5: SF, Add auxiliary device support net/mlx5: Introduce vhca state event notifier devlink: Support get and set state of port function devlink: Support add and delete devlink port devlink: Introduce PCI SF port flavour and port attribute devlink: Prepare code to fill multiple port function attributes ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210122193658.282884-1-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>

2021-01-22net/mlx5: SF, Add auxiliary device supportParav Pandit1-0/+5
Introduce API to add and delete an auxiliary device for an SF. Each SF has its own dedicated window in the PCI BAR 2. SF device is similar to PCI PF and VF that supports multiple class of devices such as net, rdma and vdpa. SF device will be added or removed in subsequent patch during SF devlink port function state change command. A subfunction device exposes user supplied subfunction number which will be further used by systemd/udev to have deterministic name for its netdevice and rdma device. An mlx5 subfunction auxiliary device example: $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/65535: type eth netdev ens2f0np0 flavour physical port 0 splittable false $ devlink port add pci/0000:06:00.0 flavour pcisf pfnum 0 sfnum 88 pci/0000:08:00.0/32768: type eth netdev eth6 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:00:00 state inactive opstate detached $ devlink port show ens2f0npf0sf88 pci/0000:06:00.0/32768: type eth netdev ens2f0npf0sf88 flavour pcisf controller 0 pfnum 0 sfnum 88 external false splittable false function: hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state inactive opstate detached $ devlink port function set ens2f0npf0sf88 hw_addr 00:00:00:00:88:88 state active On activation, $ ls -l /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/ mlx5_core.sf.4 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.0/0000:06:00.0/mlx5_core.sf.4 $ cat /sys/bus/auxiliary/devices/mlx5_core.sf.4/sfnum 88 Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Vu Pham <vuhuong@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com>
