Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-01-22
This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e, igb, fm10k and virtio_net.
Asaf Vertz provides a fix for e1000 to future-proof the time comparisons
by using time_after_eq() instead of plain math.
Mathias Koehrer provides a fix for e1000e to add a check to e1000_xmit_frame()
to ensure a work queue will not be scheduled that has not been initialized.
Jacob adds the use of software timestamping via the virtio_net driver.
Alex Duyck cleans up page reuse code in igb and fm10k. Cleans up the
page reuse code from getting into a state where all the workarounds
needed are in place as well as cleaning up oversights, such as using
__free_pages instead of put_page to drop a locally allocated page.
Richard Cochran provides 4 patches for igb dealing with time sync.
First provides a helper function since the code that handles the time
sync interrupt is repeated in three different places. Then serializes
the access to the time sync interrupt since the registers may be
manipulated from different contexts. Enables the use of i210 device
interrupt to generate an internal PPS event for adjusting the kernel
system time. The i210 device offers a number of special PTP hardware
clock features on the Software Defined Pins (SDPs), so added support for
two of the possible functions (time stamping external events and
periodic output signals).
Or Gerlitz fixes fm10k from double setting of NETIF_F_SG since the
networking core does it for the driver during registration time.
Joe Stringer adds support for up to 104 bytes of inner+outer headers in
fm10k and adds an initial check to fail encapsulation offload if these
are too large.
Matthew increases the timeout for the data path reset based on feedback
from the hardware team, since 100us is too short of a time to wait for
the data path reset to complete.
Alexander Graf provides a fix for igb to indicate failure on VF reset
for an empty MAC address, to mirror the behavior of ixgbe.
Florian Westphal updates e1000 and e1000e to support txtd update delay
via xmit_more, this way we won't update the Tx tail descriptor if the
queue has not been stopped and we know at least one more skb will be
sent right away.

2. The regulator name used to power on or power off the phy was put in the devicetree

The driver now uses the devicetree property "phy-supply" and the corresponding functions

The corresponding devicetree files are also updated. As this new binding for

Always fully coalesce guest Rx packets into the minimum number of ring

performance benefits when receiving off-host traffic.

Baseline Full coalesce
Interhost VM receive 7.2 Gb/s 11 Gb/s
Interhost aggregate 24 Gb/s 24 Gb/s
Intrahost single stream 14 Gb/s 14 Gb/s
Intrahost aggregate 34 Gb/s 34 Gb/s
However, this can increase the number of grant ops per packet which
decreases performance of backend (dom0) to VM traffic (by ~10%)

igb: Indicate failure on vf reset for empty mac address
Commit 5ac6f91d changed the igb driver to expose a zero (empty) mac
address to the VF on reset rather than a random one.
However, that behavioral change also requires igbvf driver changes
which can be hard especially when we want to talk to proprietary
guest OSs.
Looking at the code previous to the commit in Linux that made igbvf
work with empty mac addresses (8d56b6d), we can see that on reset
failure the driver will try to generate a new mac address with both
the old and the new code.
Furthermore, ixgbe does send reset failure when it detects an empty
mac address (35055928c).
So I think it's safe to make igb behave the same. With this patch I
can successfully run a Windows 8.1 guest with an empty mac address
and an assigned igbvf device that has no mac address set by the host.

VF RESET commands, please speak up.

net: bridge: reject DSA-enabled master netdevices as bridge members
DSA-enabled master network devices with a switch tagging protocol should
strip the protocol specific format before handing the frame over to
higher layer.
When adding such a DSA master network device as a bridge member, we go
through the following code path when receiving a frame:
__netif_receive_skb_core
-> first ptype check against ptype_all is not returning any
handler for this skb
-> check and invoke rx_handler:
-> deliver frame to the bridge layer: br_handle_frame
DSA registers a ptype handler with the fake ETH_XDSA ethertype, which is
called *after* the bridge-layer rx_handler has run. br_handle_frame()
tries to parse the frame it received from the DSA master network device,
and will not be able to match any of its conditions and jumps straight
at the end of the end of br_handle_frame() and returns
RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED there.
Since we returned RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED, __netif_receive_skb_core() stops
RX processing for this frame and returns NET_RX_SUCCESS, so we never get
a chance to call our switch tag packet processing logic and deliver
frames to the DSA slave network devices, and so we do not get any
functional bridge members at all.
Instead of cluttering the bridge receive path with DSA-specific checks,
and rely on assumptions about how __netif_receive_skb_core() is
processing frames, we simply deny adding the DSA master network device
(conduit interface) as a bridge member, leaving only the slave DSA
network devices to be bridge members, since those will work correctly in
all circumstances.

The logic to configure a network interface for kernel IP
auto-configuration is very simplistic, and does not handle the case
where a device is stacked onto another such as with DSA. This causes the
kernel not to open and configure the master network device in a DSA
switch tree, and therefore slave network devices using this master
network devices as conduit device cannot be open.
This restriction comes from a check in net/dsa/slave.c, which is
basically checking the master netdev flags for IFF_UP and returns
-ENETDOWN if it is not the case.
Automatically bringing-up DSA master network devices allows DSA slave
network devices to be used as valid interfaces for e.g: NFS root booting
by allowing kernel IP autoconfiguration to succeed on these interfaces.
On the reverse path, make sure we do not attempt to close a DSA-enabled
device as this would implicitely prevent the slave DSA network device
from operating.

version history
---------------
v7->v8
- Reworked comments against v7, related to checker warning.
- Patch 2/4 that has all of the driver code in v7 is now split into 3
patches based on functionality so that we have 3 smaller patches
review instead of a big patch.
- Patch for MAINTAINER is merged to 2/4 along with netcp core driver
- Separate patch (3/4) for 1G and (4/4) for 10G
- Removed big endian support for initial version (will add it later)
v6->v7
- Fixed some minor documentation error and also modified the netcp driver
to fix the set* functions to include correct le/be macros.
v5->v6
- updated version after incorporating comments [6] from David Miller,
David Laight & Geert Uytterhoeven on v5. I would like get this in
for v3.19 merge window if the latest version is acceptable.
v4->v5
- Sorry to spin v5 quickly but I missed few check-patch warnings which
were pointed by Joe Perches(thanks). I folded his changes [5] along with
few more check-patch warning fixes. I would like get this in for v3.18
merge window if David is happy with this version.
v3->v4
- Couple of fixes in in error path as pointed [4] out by David. Rest of
the patches are unchanged from v3.
v2->v3
- Update v3 after incorporating Jamal and David Miller's comment/suggestion
from earlier versions [1] [2]. After per the discussion here [3], the
controversial custom exports have been dropped now. And for future
future offload support additions, we will plug into generic frameworks
as an when they are available.

====================
netns: allow to identify peer netns
The goal of this serie is to be able to multicast netlink messages with an
attribute that identify a peer netns.
This is needed by the userland to interpret some information contained in
netlink messages (like IFLA_LINK value, but also some other attributes in case
of x-netns netdevice (see also
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/315933/focus=316064 and
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.containers/28301/focus=4239)).
Ids of peer netns can be set by userland via a new rtnl cmd RTM_NEWNSID. When
the kernel needs an id for a peer (for example when advertising a new x-netns
interface via netlink), if the user didn't allocate an id, one will be
automatically allocated.
These ids are stored per netns and are local (ie only valid in the netns where
they are set). To avoid allocating an int for each peer netns, I use
idr_for_each() to retrieve the id of a peer netns. Note that it will be possible
to add a table (struct net -> id) later to optimize this lookup if needed.
Patch 1/4 introduces the rtnetlink API mechanism to set and get these ids.
Patch 2/4 and 3/4 implements an example of how to use these ids when advertising
information about a x-netns interface.
And patch 4/4 shows that the netlink messages can be symetric between a GET and
a SET.
iproute2 patches are available, I can send them on demand.
Here is a small screenshot to show how it can be used by userland.

netlink: make nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void
Contrary to common expectations for an "int" return, these functions
return only a positive value -- if used correctly they cannot even
return 0 because the message header will necessarily be in the skb.
This makes the very common pattern of
if (genlmsg_end(...) < 0) { ... }
be a whole bunch of dead code. Many places also simply do
return nlmsg_end(...);
and the caller is expected to deal with it.
This also commonly (at least for me) causes errors, because it is very
common to write
if (my_function(...))
/* error condition */
and if my_function() does "return nlmsg_end()" this is of course wrong.
Additionally, there's not a single place in the kernel that actually
needs the message length returned, and if anyone needs it later then
it'll be very easy to just use skb->len there.
Remove this, and make the functions void. This removes a bunch of dead
code as described above. The patch adds lines because I did
I could have preserved all the function's return values by returning
skb->len, but instead I've audited all the places calling the affected
functions and found that none cared. A few places actually compared
the return value with <= 0 in dump functionality, but that could just
be changed to < 0 with no change in behaviour, so I opted for the more
efficient version.
One instance of the error I've made numerous times now is also present
in net/phonet/pn_netlink.c in the route_dumpit() function - it didn't
check for <0 or <=0 and thus broke out of the loop every single time.
I've preserved this since it will (I think) have caused the messages to
userspace to be formatted differently with just a single message for
every SKB returned to userspace. It's possible that this isn't needed
for the tools that actually use this, but I don't even know what they
are so couldn't test that changing this behaviour would be acceptable.
