Messages from the modem exceeding 256 bytes cause communication
failure.
The WDM protocol is strictly "read on demand", meaning that we only
poll for unread data after receiving a notification from the modem.
Since we have no way to know how much data the modem has to send,
we must make sure that the buffer we provide is "big enough".
Message truncation does not work. Truncated messages are left unread
until the modem has another message to send. Which often won't
happen until the userspace application has given up waiting for the
final part of the last message, and therefore sends another command.
With a proper CDC WDM function there is a descriptor telling us
which buffer size the modem uses. But with this vendor specific
implementation there is no known way to calculate the exact "big
enough" number. It is an unknown property of the modem firmware.
Experience has shown that 256 is too small. The discussion of
this failure ended up concluding that 512 might be too small as
well. So 1024 seems like a reasonable value for now.

The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.
The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the

- allows us to export the real values instead of some translated

Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down. We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the
correct boundaries. The spec allow skipping short packets when using
max sized transfers. If we don't tell usbnet about our new expected rx
buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs. The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.
Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value

To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing
it's useful to have some counters showing the different
aspects.
Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev
rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload,
while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM
framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the
payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of
this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device
and traffic.
With very few exceptions, users are only interested in
the payload size. Having an somewhat accurate payload
byte counter is particularly important for mobile
broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course
all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications
will use this counter to monitor account quotas.
Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are
now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that
it shows the real payload

Datagram coalescing is an integral part of the NCM and MBIM
protocols, intended to reduce the interrupt load primarily
on the device end of the USB link. As with all coalescing
solutions, there is a trade-off between buffering and
interrupts.
The current defaults are based on the assumption that device
side buffers should be the limiting factor. However, many
modern high speed LTE modems suffers from buffer-bloat,
making this assumption fail. This results in sub-optimal
performance due to excessive coalescing. And in cases where
such modems are connected to cheap embedded hosts there is
often severe buffer allocation issues, giving very noticeable
performance degradation .
A start on improving this is going from build time hard
coded limits to per device user configurable limits. The
ethtool coalescing API was selected as user interface
because, although the tuned values are buffer sizes, these
settings directly control datagram coalescing.

The NCM class match in the cdc_mbim driver is confusing and
cause unexpected behaviour. The USB core guarantees that a
USB interface is in altsetting 0 when probing starts. This
means that devices implementing a NCM 1.0 backwards
compatible MBIM function (a "NCM/MBIM function") always hit
the NCM entry in the cdc_mbim driver match table. Such
functions will never match any of the MBIM entries.
This causes unexpeced behaviour for cases where the NCM and
MBIM entries are differet, which is currently the case for
all except Ericsson devices.
Improve the probing of NCM/MBIM functions by looking up the
device again in the cdc_mbim match table after switching to
the MBIM identity.
The shared altsetting selection is updated to better
accommodate the new probing logic, returning the preferred
altsetting for the control interface instead of the data
interface. The control interface altsetting update is moved
to the cdc_mbim driver. It is never necessary to change the
control interface altsetting for NCM.

The cdc_mbim driver maps 802.1q VLANs to MBIM IP and DSS
sessions. MBIM IP session 0 is handled as an exception and
is mapped to untagged frames.
This patch adds optional support for remapping MBIM IP
session 0 to 802.1q VLAN ID 4094 instead. The default
behaviour is not changed. The new behaviour is triggered
by adding a link for this previously unsupported VLAN.
The untagged mapping was chosen initially to support the
assumed most common use case: Most current MBIM devices only
support a single IP session (i.e. session 0 only), and using
untagged frames lets the users completely ignore the
additonal complexity of the multiplexing layer.
But when the multiplexing features of MBIM are used, then
this netdev gets a double meaning: It becomes the master
interface for all the VLAN subdevs the additional sessions
are mapped to, while still serving as the untagged IP
interface for session 0.
This can be problematic, especially when using Device Service
Streams (DSS), as have become apparent recently with the
availability of devices with real DSS support. Some use cases
need to e.g set a MTU which is higher than allowed for IP
Session 0. The dual role also leads to the situation where
the IP Session 0 interface cannot be taken down without
breaking unrelated IP or DSS sessions - a devastating side
effect which applications managing a simple IP session cannot
be expected to be aware of. A typical DHCP client will assume
that it should bring the interface down after releasing the
IP lease.
These problems can be avoided by tagging IP session 0 packets
too, making this session similar to all other multiplexed
sessions. This redefines the main netdev as an upper master
interface only.
