When smc_connect_clc() times out, it will return -EAGAIN(tcp_recvmsg
retuns -EAGAIN while timeout), then this value will passed to the
application, which is quite confusing to the applications, makes
inconsistency with TCP.
From the manual of connect, ETIMEDOUT is more suitable, and this patch
try convert EAGAIN to ETIMEDOUT in that case.

Vladimir Oltean says:
====================
Replay and offload host VLAN entries in DSA
v2->v3:
- make the bridge stop notifying switchdev for !BRENTRY VLANs
- create precommit and commit wrappers around __vlan_add_flags().
- special-case the BRENTRY transition from false to true, instead of
treating it as a change of flags and letting drivers figure out that
it really isn't.
- avoid setting *changed unless we know that functions will not error
out later.
- drop "old_flags" from struct switchdev_obj_port_vlan, nobody needs it
now, in v2 only DSA needed it to filter out BRENTRY transitions, that
is now solved cleaner.
- no BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY flag checks and manipulations in DSA
whatsoever, use the "bool changed" bit as-is after changing what it
means.
- merge dsa_slave_host_vlan_{add,del}() with
dsa_slave_foreign_vlan_{add,del}(), since now they do the same thing,
because the host_vlan functions no longer need to mangle the vlan
BRENTRY flags and bool changed.
v1->v2:
- prune switchdev VLAN additions with no actual change differently
- no longer need to revert struct net_bridge_vlan changes on error from
switchdev
- no longer need to first delete a changed VLAN before readding it
- pass 'bool changed' and 'u16 old_flags' through switchdev_obj_port_vlan
so that DSA can do some additional post-processing with the
BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_BRENTRY flag
- support VLANs on foreign interfaces
- fix the same -EOPNOTSUPP error in mv88e6xxx, this time on removal, due
to VLAN deletion getting replayed earlier than FDB deletion
The motivation behind these patches is that Rafael reported the
following error with mv88e6xxx when the first switch port joins a
bridge:
mv88e6085 0x0000000008b96000:00: port 0 failed to add a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 to fdb: -95 (-EOPNOTSUPP)
The FDB entry that's added is the MAC address of the bridge, in VID 1
(the default_pvid), being replayed as part of br_add_if() -> ... ->
nbp_switchdev_sync_objs().
-EOPNOTSUPP is the mv88e6xxx driver's way of saying that VID 1 doesn't
exist in the VTU, so it can't program the ATU with a FID, something
which it needs.
It appears to be a race, but it isn't, since we only end up installing
VID 1 in the VTU by coincidence. DSA's approximation of programming
VLANs on the CPU port together with the user ports breaks down with
host FDB entries on mv88e6xxx, since that strictly requires the VTU to
contain the VID. But the user may freely add VLANs pointing just towards
the bridge, and FDB entries in those VLANs, and DSA will not be aware of
them, because it only listens for VLANs on user ports.
To create a solution that scales properly to cross-chip setups and
doesn't leak entries behind, some changes in the bridge driver are
required. I believe that these are for the better overall, but I may be
wrong. Namely, the same refcounting procedure that DSA has in place for
host FDB and MDB entries can be replicated for VLANs, except that it's
garbage in, garbage out: the VLAN addition and removal notifications
from switchdev aren't balanced. So the first 2 patches attempt to deal
with that.
This patch set has been superficially tested on a board with 3 mv88e6xxx
switches in a daisy chain and appears to produce the primary desired
effect - the driver no longer returns -EOPNOTSUPP when the first port
joins a bridge, and is successful in performing local termination under
a VLAN-aware bridge.
As an additional side effect, it silences the annoying "p%d: already a
member of VLAN %d\n" warning messages that the mv88e6xxx driver produces
when coupled with systemd-networkd, and a few VLANs are configured.
Furthermore, it advances Florian's idea from a few years back, which
never got merged:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20180624153339.13572-1-f.fainelli@gmail.com/
v2 has also been tested on the NXP LS1028A felix switch.

DSA now explicitly handles VLANs installed with the 'self' flag on the
bridge as host VLANs, instead of just replicating every bridge port VLAN
also on the CPU port and never deleting it, which is what it did before.
However, this leaves a corner case uncovered, as explained by
Tobias Waldekranz:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220209213044.2353153-6-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/#24735260
Forwarding towards a bridge port VLAN installed on a bridge port foreign
to DSA (separate NIC, Wi-Fi AP) used to work by virtue of the fact that
DSA itself needed to have at least one port in that VLAN (therefore, it
also had the CPU port in said VLAN). However, now that the CPU port may
not be member of all VLANs that user ports are members of, we need to
ensure this isn't the case if software forwarding to a foreign interface
is required.
The solution is to treat bridge port VLANs on standalone interfaces in
the exact same way as host VLANs. From DSA's perspective, there is no
difference between local termination and software forwarding; packets in
that VLAN must reach the CPU in both cases.

Currently, DSA programs VLANs on shared (DSA and CPU) ports each time it
does so on user ports. This is good for basic functionality but has
several limitations:
- the VLAN group which must reach the CPU may be radically different
from the VLAN group that must be autonomously forwarded by the switch.
In other words, the admin may want to isolate noisy stations and avoid
traffic from them going to the control processor of the switch, where
it would just waste useless cycles. The bridge already supports
independent control of VLAN groups on bridge ports and on the bridge
itself, and when VLAN-aware, it will drop packets in software anyway
if their VID isn't added as a 'self' entry towards the bridge device.
- Replaying host FDB entries may depend, for some drivers like mv88e6xxx,
on replaying the host VLANs as well. The 2 VLAN groups are
approximately the same in most regular cases, but there are corner
cases when timing matters, and DSA's approximation of replicating
VLANs on shared ports simply does not work.
- If a user makes the bridge (implicitly the CPU port) join a VLAN by
accident, there is no way for the CPU port to isolate itself from that
noisy VLAN except by rebooting the system. This is because for each
VLAN added on a user port, DSA will add it on shared ports too, but
for each VLAN deletion on a user port, it will remain installed on
shared ports, since DSA has no good indication of whether the VLAN is
still in use or not.
Now that the bridge driver emits well-balanced SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN
addition and removal events, DSA has a simple and straightforward task
of separating the bridge port VLANs (these have an orig_dev which is a
DSA slave interface, or a LAG interface) from the host VLANs (these have
an orig_dev which is a bridge interface), and to keep a simple reference
count of each VID on each shared port.
Forwarding VLANs must be installed on the bridge ports and on all DSA
ports interconnecting them. We don't have a good view of the exact
topology, so we simply install forwarding VLANs on all DSA ports, which
is what has been done until now.
Host VLANs must be installed primarily on the dedicated CPU port of each
bridge port. More subtly, they must also be installed on upstream-facing
and downstream-facing DSA ports that are connecting the bridge ports and
the CPU. This ensures that the mv88e6xxx's problem (VID of host FDB
entry may be absent from VTU) is still addressed even if that switch is
in a cross-chip setup, and it has no local CPU port.
Therefore:
- user ports contain only bridge port (forwarding) VLANs, and no
refcounting is necessary
- DSA ports contain both forwarding and host VLANs. Refcounting is
necessary among these 2 types.
- CPU ports contain only host VLANs. Refcounting is also necessary.

The switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() helper is good for replicating a
port object on the lower interfaces of @dev, if that object was emitted
on a bridge, or on a bridge port that is a LAG.
However, drivers that use this helper limit themselves to a box from
which they can no longer intercept port objects notified on neighbor
ports ("foreign interfaces").
One such driver is DSA, where software bridging with foreign interfaces
such as standalone NICs or Wi-Fi APs is an important use case. There, a
VLAN installed on a neighbor bridge port roughly corresponds to a
forwarding VLAN installed on the DSA switch's CPU port.
To support this use case while also making use of the benefits of the
switchdev_handle_* replication helper for port objects, introduce a new
variant of these functions that crawls through the neighbor ports of
@dev, in search of potentially compatible switchdev ports that are
interested in the event.
The strategy is identical to switchdev_handle_fdb_event_to_device():
if @dev wasn't a switchdev interface, then go one step upper, and
recursively call this function on the bridge that this port belongs to.
At the next recursion step, __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add() will
iterate through the bridge's lower interfaces. Among those, some will be
switchdev interfaces, and one will be the original @dev that we came
from. To prevent infinite recursion, we must suppress reentry into the
original @dev, and just call the @add_cb for the switchdev_interfaces.
It looks like this:
br0
/ | \
/ | \
/ | \
swp0 swp1 eth0
1. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(eth0)
-> check_cb(eth0) returns false
-> eth0 has no lower interfaces
-> eth0's bridge is br0
-> switchdev_lower_dev_find(br0, check_cb, foreign_dev_check_cb))
finds br0
2. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(br0)
-> check_cb(br0) returns false
-> netdev_for_each_lower_dev
-> check_cb(swp0) returns true, so we don't skip this interface
3. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(swp0)
-> check_cb(swp0) returns true, so we call add_cb(swp0)
(back to netdev_for_each_lower_dev from 2)
-> check_cb(swp1) returns true, so we don't skip this interface
4. __switchdev_handle_port_obj_add(swp1)
-> check_cb(swp1) returns true, so we call add_cb(swp1)
(back to netdev_for_each_lower_dev from 2)
-> check_cb(eth0) returns false, so we skip this interface to
avoid infinite recursion
Note: eth0 could have been a LAG, and we don't want to suppress the
recursion through its lowers if those exist, so when check_cb() returns
false, we still call switchdev_lower_dev_find() to estimate whether
there's anything worth a recursion beneath that LAG. Using check_cb()
and foreign_dev_check_cb(), switchdev_lower_dev_find() not only figures
out whether the lowers of the LAG are switchdev, but also whether they
actively offload the LAG or not (whether the LAG is "foreign" to the
switchdev interface or not).
The port_obj_info->orig_dev is preserved across recursive calls, so
switchdev drivers still know on which device was this notification
originally emitted.

The major user of replayed switchdev objects is DSA, and so far it
hasn't needed information about anything other than bridge port VLANs,
so this is all that br_switchdev_vlan_replay() knows to handle.
DSA has managed to get by through replicating every VLAN addition on a
user port such that the same VLAN is also added on all DSA and CPU
ports, but there is a corner case where this does not work.
The mv88e6xxx DSA driver currently prints this error message as soon as
the first port of a switch joins a bridge:
mv88e6085 0x0000000008b96000:00: port 0 failed to add a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 to fdb: -95
where a6:ef:77:c8:5f:3d vid 1 is a local FDB entry corresponding to the
bridge MAC address in the default_pvid.
The -EOPNOTSUPP is returned by mv88e6xxx_port_db_load_purge() because it
tries to map VID 1 to a FID (the ATU is indexed by FID not VID), but
fails to do so. This is because ->port_fdb_add() is called before
->port_vlan_add() for VID 1.
The abridged timeline of the calls is:
br_add_if
-> netdev_master_upper_dev_link
-> dsa_port_bridge_join
-> switchdev_bridge_port_offload
-> br_switchdev_vlan_replay (*)
-> br_switchdev_fdb_replay
-> mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add
-> nbp_vlan_init
-> nbp_vlan_add
-> mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add
and the issue is that at the time of (*), the bridge port isn't in VID 1
(nbp_vlan_init hasn't been called), therefore br_switchdev_vlan_replay()
won't have anything to replay, therefore VID 1 won't be in the VTU by
the time mv88e6xxx_port_fdb_add() is called.
This happens only when the first port of a switch joins. For further
ports, the initial mv88e6xxx_port_vlan_add() is sufficient for VID 1 to
be loaded in the VTU (which is switch-wide, not per port).
The problem is somewhat unique to mv88e6xxx by chance, because most
other drivers offload an FDB entry by VID, so FDBs and VLANs can be
added asynchronously with respect to each other, but addressing the
issue at the bridge layer makes sense, since what mv88e6xxx requires
isn't absurd.
To fix this problem, we need to recognize that it isn't the VLAN group
of the port that we're interested in, but the VLAN group of the bridge
itself (so it isn't a timing issue, but rather insufficient information
being passed from switchdev to drivers).
As mentioned, currently nbp_switchdev_sync_objs() only calls
br_switchdev_vlan_replay() for VLANs corresponding to the port, but the
VLANs corresponding to the bridge itself, for local termination, also
need to be replayed. In this case, VID 1 is not (yet) present in the
port's VLAN group but is present in the bridge's VLAN group.
So to fix this bug, DSA is now obligated to explicitly handle VLANs
pointing towards the bridge in order to "close this race" (which isn't
really a race). As Tobias Waldekranz notices, this also implies that it
must explicitly handle port VLANs on foreign interfaces, something that
worked implicitly before:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220209213044.2353153-6-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/#24735260
So in the end, br_switchdev_vlan_replay() must replay all VLANs from all
VLAN groups: all the ports, and the bridge itself.

There may be switchdev drivers that can add/remove a FDB or MDB entry
only as long as the VLAN it's in has been notified and offloaded first.
The nbp_switchdev_sync_objs() method satisfies this requirement on
addition, but nbp_switchdev_unsync_objs() first deletes VLANs, then
deletes MDBs and FDBs. Reverse the order of the function calls to cater

br_switchdev_port_vlan_add() currently emits a SWITCHDEV_PORT_OBJ_ADD
event with a SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN for 2 distinct cases:
- a struct net_bridge_vlan got created
- an existing struct net_bridge_vlan was modified
This makes it impossible for switchdev drivers to properly balance
PORT_OBJ_ADD with PORT_OBJ_DEL events, so if we want to allow that to
happen, we must provide a way for drivers to distinguish between a
VLAN with changed flags and a new one.
Annotate struct switchdev_obj_port_vlan with a "bool changed" that

Currently, when a VLAN entry is added multiple times in a row to a
bridge port, nbp_vlan_add() calls br_switchdev_port_vlan_add() each
time, even if the VLAN already exists and nothing about it has changed:
bridge vlan add dev lan12 vid 100 master static
Similarly, when a VLAN is added multiple times in a row to a bridge,
br_vlan_add_existing() doesn't filter at all the calls to
br_switchdev_port_vlan_add():
bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 100 self
This behavior makes driver-level accounting of VLANs impossible, since
it is enough for a single deletion event to remove a VLAN, but the
addition event can be emitted an unlimited number of times.
The cause for this can be identified as follows: we rely on
__vlan_add_flags() to retroactively tell us whether it has changed
anything about the VLAN flags or VLAN group pvid. So we'd first have to
call __vlan_add_flags() before calling br_switchdev_port_vlan_add(), in
order to have access to the "bool *changed" information. But we don't
want to change the event ordering, because we'd have to revert the
struct net_bridge_vlan changes we've made if switchdev returns an error.
So to solve this, we need another function that tells us whether any
change is going to occur in the VLAN or VLAN group, _prior_ to calling
__vlan_add_flags().
Split __vlan_add_flags() into a precommit and a commit stage, and rename
it to __vlan_flags_update(). The precommit stage,
__vlan_flags_would_change(), will determine whether there is any reason
to notify switchdev due to a change of flags (note: the BRENTRY flag
transition from false to true is treated separately: as a new switchdev
entry, because we skipped notifying the master VLAN when it wasn't a
brentry yet, and therefore not as a change of flags).
With this lookahead/precommit function in place, we can avoid notifying
switchdev if nothing changed for the VLAN and VLAN group.

Currently there is a very subtle aspect to the behavior of
__vlan_add_flags(): it changes the struct net_bridge_vlan flags and
pvid, yet it returns true ("changed") even if none of those changed,
just a transition of br_vlan_is_brentry(v) took place from false to
true.
This can be seen in br_vlan_add_existing(), however we do not actually
rely on this subtle behavior, since the "if" condition that checks that
the vlan wasn't a brentry before had a useless (until now) assignment:
*changed = true;
Make things more obvious by actually making __vlan_add_flags() do what's
written on the box, and be more specific about what is actually written
on the box. This is needed because further transformations will be done
to __vlan_add_flags().

When a VLAN is added to a bridge port and it doesn't exist on the bridge
device yet, it gets created for the multicast context, but it is
'hidden', since it doesn't have the BRENTRY flag yet:
ip link add br0 type bridge && ip link set swp0 master br0
bridge vlan add dev swp0 vid 100 # the master VLAN 100 gets created
bridge vlan add dev br0 vid 100 self # that VLAN becomes brentry just now
All switchdev drivers ignore switchdev notifiers for VLAN entries which
have the BRENTRY unset, and for good reason: these are merely private
data structures used by the bridge driver. So we might just as well not
notify those at all.
Cleanup in the switchdev drivers that check for the BRENTRY flag is now
possible, and will be handled separately, since those checks just became
dead code.

When a VLAN is added to a bridge port, a master VLAN gets created on the
bridge for context, but it doesn't have the BRENTRY flag.
Then, when the same VLAN is added to the bridge itself, that enters
through the br_vlan_add_existing() code path and gains the BRENTRY flag,
thus it becomes "existing".
It seems natural to check for this condition early, because the current
code flow is to notify switchdev of the addition of a VLAN that isn't a
brentry, just to delete it immediately afterwards.

page list. So it should use the queue page list number to detect the
zero size queue page list. Correct the design logic.
Using the 'queue_format == GVE_GQI_RDA_FORMAT' may lead to request zero
sized memory allocation, like if the queue format is GVE_DQO_RDA_FORMAT.
The kernel memory subsystem will return ZERO_SIZE_PTR, which is not NULL

the queue page list number firstly, then accesses the allocated memory,
so zero number queue page list allocation will not lead to access fault.

mlx5e: Synchronize ndo_select_queue with configuration changes
The kernel can call ndo_select_queue at any time, and there is no direct
way to block it. The implementation of ndo_select_queue in mlx5e expects
the parameters to be consistent and may crash (invalid pointer, division
by zero) if they aren't.
There were attempts to partially fix some of the most frequent crashes,
see commit 846d6da1fc ("net/mlx5e: Fix division by 0 in
mlx5e_select_queue") and commit 84c8a87402 ("net/mlx5e: Fix division
by 0 in mlx5e_select_queue for representors"). However, they don't
address the issue completely.
This series introduces the proper synchronization mechanism between
mlx5e configuration and TX data path:
1. txq2sq updates are synchronized properly with ndo_start_xmit
(mlx5e_xmit). The TX queue is stopped when it configuration is being
updated, and memory barriers ensure the changes are visible before
restarting.
2. The set of parameters needed for mlx5e_select_queue is reduced, and
synchronization using RCU is implemented. This way, changes are
atomic, and the state in mlx5e_select_queue is always consistent.
3. A few optimizations are applied to the new implementation of
mlx5e_select_queue.

To improve the performance of the modulo operation (%), it's replaced by
a subtracting the divisor in a loop. The modulo is used to fix up an
out-of-bounds value that might be returned by netdev_pick_tx or to
convert the queue number to the channel number when num_tcs > 1. Both
situations are unlikely, because XPS is configured not to pick higher
queues (qid >= num_channels) by default, so under normal circumstances
the flow won't go inside the loop, and it will be faster than %.
num_tcs == 8 adds at most 7 iterations to the loop. PTP adds at most 1
iteration to the loop. HTB would add at most 256 iterations (when
num_channels == 1), so there is an additional boundary check in the HTB
flow, which falls back to % if more than 7 iterations are expected.

This commit optimizes mlx5e_select_queue for HTB and PTP cases by
short-cutting some checks, without sacrificing performance of the common
non-HTB non-PTP flow.
1. The HTB flow uses the fact that num_tcs == 1 to drop these checks
(it's not possible to attach both mqprio and htb as the root qdisc).
It's also enough to calculate `txq_ix % num_channels` only once, instead
of twice.
2. The PTP flow drops the check for HTB and the second calculation of
`txq_ix % num_channels`.

ndo_select_queue can be called at any time, and there is no way to stop
the kernel from calling it to synchronize with configuration changes
(real_num_tx_queues, num_tc). This commit introduces an internal way in
mlx5e to sync mlx5e_select_queue() with these changes. The configuration
needed by this function is stored in a struct mlx5e_selq_params, which
is modified and accessed in an atomic way using RCU methods. The whole
ndo_select_queue is called under an RCU lock, providing the necessary
guarantees.
The parameters stored in the new struct mlx5e_selq_params should only be
used from inside mlx5e_select_queue. It's the minimal set of parameters
needed for mlx5e_select_queue to do its job efficiently, derived from
parameters stored elsewhere. That means that when the configuration
change, mlx5e_selq_params may need to be updated. In such cases, the
mlx5e_selq_prepare/mlx5e_selq_apply API should be used.
struct mlx5e_selq contains two slots for the params: active and standby.
mlx5e_selq_prepare updates the standby slot, and mlx5e_selq_apply swaps
the slots in a safe atomic way using the RCU API. It integrates well
with the open/activate stages of the configuration change flow.

queue is enabled. Comments explaining this mechanism are added to

(fixed value). All firmware versions till today comply to this. In order
to be more flexible and resilient, read from FW the corresponding:
max_wqe_sz_sq. This value describes the maximum WQE size given in bytes,
thus max WQEBBs is given by the division in WQEBB's byte size. The
driver uses the top between 16 and the division result. This ensures
synchronization between driver and firmware and avoids unexpected

When reset GPIO was missing, the driver was still printing an info

will silently ignore calls with NULL gpio_desc, it is better to make it
clear the driver might allow gpio_desc to be NULL.
The initial value for the reset pin was changed to GPIOD_OUT_LOW,
followed by a gpiod_set_value() asserting the reset. This way, it will
be easier to spot if and where the reset really happens.
A new "asserted RESET" message was added just after the reset is
asserted, similar to the existing "deasserted RESET" message. Both
messages were demoted to dbg. The code comment is not needed anymore.

Disabling interrupts and in the RPS case locking input_pkt_queue is
split into local_irq_disable() and optional spin_lock().
This breaks on PREEMPT_RT because the spinlock_t typed lock can not be
acquired with disabled interrupts.
The sections in which the lock is acquired is usually short in a sense that it
is not causing long und unbounded latiencies. One exception is the
skb_flow_limit() invocation which may invoke a BPF program (and may
require sleeping locks).
By moving local_irq_disable() + spin_lock() into rps_lock(), we can keep
interrupts disabled on !PREEMPT_RT and enabled on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
Without RPS on a PREEMPT_RT kernel, the needed synchronisation happens
as part of local_bh_disable() on the local CPU.
____napi_schedule() is only invoked if sd is from the local CPU. Replace
it with __napi_schedule_irqoff() which already disables interrupts on
PREEMPT_RT as needed. Move this call to rps_ipi_queued() and rename the
function to napi_schedule_rps as suggested by Jakub.

Dave suggested a while ago (eleven years by now) "Let's make netif_rx()
work in all contexts and get rid of netif_rx_ni()". Eric agreed and
pointed out that modern devices should use netif_receive_skb() to avoid
the overhead.
In the meantime someone added another variant, netif_rx_any_context(),
which behaves as suggested.
netif_rx() must be invoked with disabled bottom halves to ensure that
pending softirqs, which were raised within the function, are handled.
netif_rx_ni() can be invoked only from process context (bottom halves
must be enabled) because the function handles pending softirqs without
checking if bottom halves were disabled or not.
netif_rx_any_context() invokes on the former functions by checking
in_interrupts().
netif_rx() could be taught to handle both cases (disabled and enabled
bottom halves) by simply disabling bottom halves while invoking
netif_rx_internal(). The local_bh_enable() invocation will then invoke
pending softirqs only if the BH-disable counter drops to zero.
Eric is concerned about the overhead of BH-disable+enable especially in
regard to the loopback driver. As critical as this driver is, it will
receive a shortcut to avoid the additional overhead which is not needed.
Add a local_bh_disable() section in netif_rx() to ensure softirqs are
handled if needed.
Provide __netif_rx() which does not disable BH and has a lockdep assert
to ensure that interrupts are disabled. Use this shortcut in the
loopback driver and in drivers/net/*.c.
Make netif_rx_ni() and netif_rx_any_context() invoke netif_rx() so they
can be removed once they are no more users left.
