* Documentation: add networking/netdev-FAQ.txtPaul Gortmaker2013-08-012-0/+226
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A collection of expectations and operational details about how networking development takes place in the context of the netdev mailing list. The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations that are already captured elsewhere. This was originally proposed[1] as a regular posting mailing list FAQ, but it probably is more universally accessible here in tree.

* fib_rules: add .suppress operationStefan Tomanek2013-08-015-1/+40
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change adds a new operation to the fib_rules_ops struct; it allows the suppression of routing decisions if certain criteria are not met by its results. The first implemented constraint is a minimum prefix length added to the structures of routing rules. If a rule is added with a minimum prefix length >0, only routes meeting this threshold will be considered. Any other (more general) routing table entries will be ignored. When configuring a system with multiple network uplinks and default routes, it is often convinient to reference the main routing table multiple times - but omitting the default route. Using this patch and a modified "ip" utility, this can be achieved by using the following command sequence: $ ip route add table secuplink default via 10.42.23.1 $ ip rule add pref 100 table main prefixlength 1 $ ip rule add pref 150 fwmark 0xA table secuplink With this setup, packets marked 0xA will be processed by the additional routing table "secuplink", but only if no suitable route in the main routing table can be found. By using a minimal prefixlength of 1, the default route (/0) of the table "main" is hidden to packets processed by rule 100; packets traveling to destinations with more specific routing entries are processed as usual.

The first patch for ixgbe from Greg Rose is the second submission. The first submission of "ixgbe: Retain VLAN filtering in promiscuous + VT mode" had a typo, which Joe Perches pointed out and is fixed in this submission. Alex updates the ixgbe driver to use the generic helper pci_vfs_assigned instead of the driver specific function ixgbe_vfs_are_assigned. Don Skidmore provides 4 patches for ixgbe, the first being a fix for flow control ethtool reporting. Originally ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc() was expected to be called by only copper devices, which lead to false information being displayed via ethtool. Two other patches add support for fixed fiber for SFP+ devices and the addition of a quad-port x520 adapter. The last patch simply bumps the driver version. Emil Tantilov provides 3 fixes for ixgbe, two of which resolve semaphore lock issues. The third fix resolves several issues in the previous implementation of the SFF data dumps of SFP+ modules. The remaining ixgbe and pci patches are from Jacob Keller. The pci patches exposes bus speed, link speed and bus width so that drivers can take advantage of this information. In addition, adds a pci function which obtains minimum link width and speed. Jacob also provides the ixgbe patch to incorporate the pci function. He provides a patch that fixes a lockdep issue created due to ixgbe_ptp_stop always running cancel_work_sync even if the work item had not been created properly with INIT_WORK. This issue was found and reported by Stephen Hemminger. -v2- * fix patch 3 to be a bool function based on David Miller's feedback * fix patch 4 debug message based on David Miller's feedback * fix patch 8 moved the extern declarations to pci.h based on Bjorn Helgaas's feedback * fix patch 11 update the error message to include encoding loss based * fix patch 8/9/10 title based on Bjorn's feedback ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

| * ixgbe: fix lockdep annotation issue for ptp's work itemJacob Keller2013-07-313-12/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a lockdep issue created due to ixgbe_ptp_stop always running cancel_work_sync even if the work item had not been created properly with INIT_WORK. This is caused because ixgbe_ptp_stop did not check to actually ensure PTP was running first. The new implementation introduces a state in the &adapter->state field which is used to indicate that PTP is running. (This replaces the IXGBE_FLAG2_PTP_ENABLED field). This state will use the atomic set_bit, test_bit, and test_and_clear_bit functions. ixgbe_ptp_stop will check to ensure that PTP was enabled, (and if not, it will not attempt to do any cleanup work from ixgbe_ptp_init).

Instead the lock is held only during the phy.ops.read/write_reg operations. As result when the function is being called simultaneously the I2C read/writes can be corrupted. The following patch introduces the SWFW_SYNC semaphore for the entire ixgbe_read/write_i2c_phy_82598() function. To accomplish this I had to create 2 separate functions: ixgbe_read_phy_reg_mdi() ixgbe_write_phy_reg_mdi() Those functions are identical to ixgbe_read/write_phy_reg_generic() sans the locking, and can be used in ixgbe_read/write_i2c_phy_82598() with the SWFW_SYNC semaphore being held.

Currenty there's very hard to tell if two netdevs are using the same physical port. For sr-iov this can be get by sysfs. For other mechanisms, like NPAR there's very hard to do it (one must learn it from NIC BIOS). But even for sr-iov there's no way to say if two netdevs are using the same phys port when these are passed through to virtual guests. This patchset provides the generic way of letting this information know to userspace. This info can be used by apps like NetworkManager, teamd, Wicked, ovs daemon, etc, to do smarter bonding decisions. 2) Why is the physical port ID defined as a 32 byte opaque cookie? What formats and layouts need to be accomodated, and which influenced the design of the ID? For user to distinguish if two netdevs are using the same port, he only needs to compare their phys port ids. Nothing else is needed. This id has no structure for security reasons. VF should not know anything about PF. 3) Are IDs globally unique? Why or why not? If IDs should be globally unique, but only in certain cases, what exactly are those cases. Most of the time only uniqueness needed is in scope of single machine. There might be case when the id should be unique between couple of machines in virtualization environment. Given that for example for igb/igbvf 16B uuid is used, there is no problem for this case as well. But each driver can implement this differently focusing the hw capabilities and needs. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a ndo for getting physical port of the device. Driver which is aware of being virtual function of some physical port should implement this ndo. This is applicable not only for IOV, but for other solutions (NPAR, multichannel) as well. Basically if there is possible to have multiple netdevs on the single hw port. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Acked-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

* | net: mvneta: support big endianThomas Petazzoni2013-07-311-3/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the "swap descriptor" feature of the hardware to properly swap the descriptors when running in big endian mode. Since the swapping occurs on 64 bits words, we also need to provide a separate structure layout for the DMA descriptors between little endian and big endian mode, like is done in the mv643xx_eth driver.

* | net: mvneta: move the RX and TX desc macros outside of the structsThomas Petazzoni2013-07-311-11/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The macros used for the various fields of the RX and TX descriptions are currently declared next to those fields within the structure definitions of the RX and TX descriptors. However, in order to support big endian, we'll have to use the "swap descriptors" features of the hardware, which swaps every byte within each 64 bits word of the descriptors. This requires a separate definition of the RX and TX descriptor structures for little and big endian, as is done in the mv643xx_eth. Those macros can therefore no longer be defined inside those structures. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when the interface was brought down, the driver would set the power state to D3hot. In D3hot, we don't have access to the NVRAM. This patch removes the call to set the power state to PCI_D3hot in close. A following patch will implement the shutdown handler to properly set the D3hot state when the system is going down. Doing the above means that the TG3_PHYFLG_IS_LOW_POWER should not be checked to validate access to the NVRAM.
