net: The beginning of the end for NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM
Background:
This patch set starts to address one front in the battle against
protocol ossification. Protocol ossification describes the state
that we have arrived at in the evolution of the Internet where we are
materially limited to only using a very narrow range of protocols
and protocol features. For instance, only TCP and UDP is sufficiently
supported on the Internet so that deploying alternative protocols,
such as SCTP and DCCP, are non-starters. Similarly, IP options and IPv6
extension headers are typically not considered feasible for wide
deployment, so we have loss the extensibility of IP protocols.
Protocol ossification is not only a problem on the Internet, but in
the data center as well. A root cause of this seems to be narrow,
protocol specific optimizations implemented in switches (for doing
EMCP) and in NICs (NIC offloads). These tend to be performance
optimization around TCP and UDP packets, and these have become
requirements to implement performant network solutions at scale.
Attempts to deal with protocol ossification in data center have yielded
ad hoc, sub-optimal solutions. A main driver of foo-over-UDP (e.g.
GRE/UDP, MPLS/UDP) is to leverage the existing EMCP and RSS support for
UDP by setting the source port as an entropy value. This has seen some
success, but the cost of additional overhead and layering limits its
usefulness. An even more extreme solution is STT where non-TCP packets
are spoofed as TCP to leverage NIC offloads.
This patch set endeavours to address protocol ossification caused by
techniques used in transmit checksum offload for NICs. Future work
will address protocol ossification in the other primary NIC offloads--
namely receive checksum offload, LSO, LRO, and RSS.
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM:
NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM exemplify the problem of protocol
ossification. These features are relics from a simpler time in the
Internet, before encapsulation, before GRE and IPIP. Many hardware
vendors only saw the need to provide checksum offload for simple UDP and
TCP packets over IPv4 (IPv6 support is an afterthought also). In today's
Internet and data centers, checksum offload is well established as a
valuable feature, but we can no longer afford to be contsrained to
use a handful of protocols and features that are supported at the
discretion of NIC vendors. Generic and protocol agnostic methods are
needed.
The actual interface that the stack uses with drivers for checksum
offload is CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. This is a generic and protocol agnostic
interface. A driver for a device that supports this generic
interface advertises NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
Goals of this patch set:
We propose that drivers advertise NETIF_F_HW_CSUM instead of protocol
specific values of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM. If the
driver's device is constrained (for instance it can only offlaod simple
IPv4 and IPv6 packets) then these constraints can be checked in the
transmit path and skb_checksum_help would be called for packets that the
driver is unable to offload. In order to facilitate this, we add some
helper functions that takes a specification argument indicating the
type of packets a device is able to offload. If a packet does not match
the specification, the helper function calls skb_checksum_help.
Benefits of this approach are:
- Simplify the stack and clarify the interface for checksum offload
- Encourage NIC vendors to implement the generic. protocol agnostic
checksum offload methods in hardware
- Encourage feature parity in NIC offloads for IPv4 and IPv6
Many drivers advertise NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM and it
probably isn't feasible to convert them all in a given time frame
(although if we could this would be a great simplification to the
stack). A reasonable direction may be to declare that new drivers must
use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM as NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM are
considered deprecated.
There is a class of drivers that should now be converted to advertise
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM, namely those that support offload of ecapsulated
checksums. These drivers have to date been using skb->encapsulation
to infer that checksum offload is being performed for an encapsulated
checksum. This is strictly not correct. skb->encapsulation
indicates that the inner headers are valid in the skbuff, whereas
the stack indicates checksum offload arguments exclusively in csum_start
and csum_offset. At some point we may want to set the inner headers for
an skbuff but offload the outer transport checksum, so this needs to be
fixed.
In this patch set:
- Rename some of constants involved in checksum offload to be more
reflective of their function
- Eliminate NETIF_F_GEN_CSUM and NETIF_F_V[46]_CSUM entirely as
unnecessary convolutions
- Fix conditions in tcp_sendpage and tcp_sendmsg to take IP protocol
into account when determining if checksum offload can be done
- Add driver helper functions for determining if a checksum can
be offloaded to a device. If not, the helper function can call
skb_checksum_help
- Document the checksum offload interface between the stack and
drivers with detail and specifics
Testing:
Have been testing ixgbe and mlx4. No noticeable regressions seen yet.

This patchset introduces support for the offloading of 802.1D bridges
between VLAN devices. These can either be VLAN devices configured on top
of the physical ports or on top of LAG devices.
Patches 1-2 deal with the necessary infrastructure changes needed in order
to enable the above. The main change is that switchdev drivers can now know
the device from which the switchdev op originated from.
Patches 3-10 lay the groundwork for 802.1D bridges support in the mlxsw
driver, with patch 4 doing most of the heavy lifting.
Patch 11 finally offloads these bridges to hardware by listening to the
notifications sent when the VLAN device joins or leaves a bridge. It is
very similar to the already existing 802.1Q bridge we support.
Patches 12-14 add minor modifications to allow one to bridge a VLAN device
configured on top of LAG.

When creating a VLAN device on top of LAG, we are basically creating a
vPort on top of each of the port netdevs member in the LAG. Therefore,
these vPorts should inherit both the LAG status and LAG ID from the
underlying port netdevs.
In addition, when the VLAN device joins or leaves a bridge each of the
underlying vPorts should know about it and act accordingly. This is
achieved by propagating the VLAN event down to the lower devices.

All the member VLAN devices in a bridge need to share the same vFID.
To achieve that, expand the vFID struct to include the associated bridge
device (or lack of) and allow one to lookup a vFID based on a bridge
device.
When joining a bridge, lookup the relevant vFID or create one if none
exists. Next, make the VLAN device use the vFID.
Leaving a bridge can either occur because a user removed the VLAN device
from a bridge or because the VLAN device was deleted by the user. In the
latter case the bridge's teardown sequence is invoked after the hardware
vPort is already gone. Therefore, when unlinking the VLAN device from
the real device, check if the associated vPort is bridged and act
accordingly. The bridge's notification will be ignored in this case.
Note that bridging a VLAN interface with an ordinary port netdev is
currently not supported, but not forbidden. This will be addressed in a
follow-up patchset.

FDB notifications contain the FID and port (or LAG ID) on which the MAC
was learned. In the case of the 802.1Q bridge one can easily derive the
matching VID - as FID equals VID - and generate the appropriate
notification for the software bridge. With VLAN devices this is no
longer the case, as these are associated with a vFID.
Solve that by converting the FID to a vFID and lookup the matching VLAN
device. From that derive the VID and whether learning (and learning

Up until now we used a 1:1 mapping - based on VID - to map a VLAN
interface to a vFID. However, a different scheme is needed in order to
support bridges between VLAN interfaces, as all the member interfaces -
which can have different VIDs - need to share the same vFID.
Solve that by splitting the vFID range in two:
1. Non-bridged VLAN interfaces
2. Bridged VLAN interfaces
When a VLAN interface is created, assign it the next available vFID in
the first range, unless one already exists for that VID or number of
vFIDs in the range was exceeded. When interface is removed, free the
vFID, unless other interfaces are mapped to it.
To accomplish the above:
1. Store the VID to vFID mapping in a new struct (mlxsw_sp_vfid), which
has a global context and holds a reference count.
2. Create a vPort (dummy in case of bridge SELF invocation) on top of
of the physical port and hold a reference to the associated vFID.

When adding support for bridges between VLAN interfaces, we'll introduce
a new entity called a vPort, which is a represntation of the VLAN
interface in the hardware.
The main difference between a vPort and a physical port is that several
FIDs can be bound to the latter, whereas only one (called a vFID) can be
bound to the first.
Therefore, it makes sense to use the same struct to represent the two,
but to only allocate the 'active_vlans' bitmap in case of a physical
port.

switchdev drivers need to know the netdev on which the switchdev op was
invoked. For example, the STP state of a VLAN interface configured on top
of a port can change while being member in a bridge. In this case, the
underlying driver should only change the STP state of that particular
VLAN and not of all the VLANs configured on the port.
However, current switchdev infrastructure only passes the port netdev down
to the driver. Solve that by passing the original device down to the
driver as part of the required switchdev object / attribute.
This doesn't entail any change in current switchdev drivers. It simply
enables those supporting stacked devices to know the originating device
and act accordingly.

Benjamin Poirier cleans up code that is never reachable since MSI-X
interrupts are not shared in e1000e. Also removes the ICR read in the
other interrupt handler, since the information is not needed and IMS is
configured such that the only link status change can trigger the other
interrupt handler. Fixed in MSI-X mode, there is no handler for the LSC
interrupt so there is no point in writing that to ICS now that we always

Since the introduction of 82574 support in e1000e, the driver has worked
on the assumption that msi-x interrupt generation is automatically
disabled after each irq. As it turns out, this is not the case.
Currently, rx interrupts can fire multiple times before and during napi
processing. This can be a problem for users because frames that arrive
in a certain window (after adapter->clean_rx() but before
napi_complete_done() has cleared NAPI_STATE_SCHED) generate an interrupt
which does not lead to napi_schedule(). These frames sit in the rx queue
until another frame arrives (a tcp retransmit for example).
While the EIAC and CTRL_EXT registers are properly configured for irq
automask, the modification of IAM in e1000_configure_msix() is what
prevents automask from working as intended.
This patch removes that erroneous write and fixes interrupt rearming for
tx interrupts. It also clears IAME from CTRL_EXT. This is not strictly
necessary for operation of the driver but it is to avoid disruption from
potential programs that access the registers directly, like `ethregs -c`.

calculation is wrong, because the fragmented data part is added
twice in qeth_l3_tso_elements(). This patch makes sure fragmented
data is handled in qeth_elements_for_frags() only, while
qeth_l3_tso_elements() starts calculation of qdio SBAL elements just
with the linear data part of the skb.

/sys/class/net/<interface>/operstate for an active qeth network
interface offen shows "unknown", which translates to "state UNKNOWN
in output of "ip link show". It is caused by a missing initialization
of the __LINK_STATE_NOCARRIER bit in the net_device state field.
This patch adds a netif_carrier_off() invocation when creating the
net_device for a qeth device.

There have been 2 identical versions of function
qeth_get_setassparms_cmd() for layer 2 and layer 3.
Remove the layer 3 function qeth_l3_get_setassparms_cmd()
and call the common one named qeth_get_setassparms_cmd()
located in qeth_core_main.c

The channel_remove() function tests whether its argument is NULL
and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the calls is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

When the linear buffer of the received sk_buff is shorter than
the header, use skb_linearize(). sk_buffs with short linear buffer
happen on the sending side under high traffic, and some kernel
configurations, when allocated buffer starts just before page
boundary, and IUCV transport has to send it as two separate QDIO
buffer elements, with fist element shorter than the header.

Initialize storage for the future IUCV header that will be included
in the transmitted packet. Some of the header fields are unused with
HiperSockets transport, and will contain data left from some other
functions.

This patch removes ARPHRD_IEEE802154 from addrconf handling. In the
earlier days of 802.15.4 6LoWPAN, the interface type was ARPHRD_IEEE802154
which introduced several issues, because 802.15.4 interfaces used the
same type.
Since commit 965e613d29 ("ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix ARPHRD to
ARPHRD_6LOWPAN") we use ARPHRD_6LOWPAN for 6LoWPAN interfaces. This
patch will remove ARPHRD_IEEE802154 which is currently deadcode, because
ARPHRD_IEEE802154 doesn't reach the minimum 1280 MTU of IPv6.
Also we use 6LoWPAN EUI64 specific defines instead using link-layer
constanst from 802.15.4 link-layer header.
