2019-07-01blackhole_dev: add a selftestMahesh Bandewar6-1/+123
Since this is not really a device with all capabilities, this test ensures that it has *enough* to make it through the data path without causing unwanted side-effects (read crash!). Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-07-01blackhole_netdev: use blackhole_netdev to invalidate dst entriesMahesh Bandewar3-4/+3
Use blackhole_netdev instead of 'lo' device with lower MTU when marking dst "dead". Signed-off-by: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@google.com> Tested-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-07-01loopback: create blackhole net device similar to loopack.Mahesh Bandewar2-9/+69
Create a blackhole net device that can be used for "dead" dst entries instead of loopback device. This blackhole device differs from loopback in few aspects: (a) It's not per-ns. (b) MTU on this device is ETH_MIN_MTU (c) The xmit function is essentially kfree_skb(). and (d) since it's not registered it won't have ifindex. Lower MTU effectively make the device not pass the MTU check during the route check when a dst associated with the skb is dead.

2019-07-01net: ethernet: broadcom: bcm63xx_enet: Remove unneeded memsetHariprasad Kelam1-1/+0
Remove unneeded memset as alloc_etherdev is using kvzalloc which uses __GFP_ZERO flag Signed-off-by: Hariprasad Kelam <hariprasad.kelam@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-07-01net: netsec: add XDP supportIlias Apalodimas1-27/+334
The interface only supports 1 Tx queue so locking is introduced on the Tx queue if XDP is enabled to make sure .ndo_start_xmit and .ndo_xdp_xmit won't corrupt Tx ring - Performance (SMMU off) Benchmark XDP_SKB XDP_DRV xdp1 291kpps 344kpps rxdrop 282kpps 342kpps - Performance (SMMU on) Benchmark XDP_SKB XDP_DRV xdp1 167kpps 324kpps rxdrop 164kpps 323kpps Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-07-01net: page_pool: add helper function for retrieving dma directionIlias Apalodimas1-0/+9
Since the dma direction is stored in page pool params, offer an API helper for driver that choose not to keep track of it locally Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-07-01net: netsec: Use page_pool APIIlias Apalodimas2-47/+80
Use page_pool and it's DMA mapping capabilities for Rx buffers instead of netdev/napi_alloc_frag() Although this will result in a slight performance penalty on small sized packets (~10%) the use of the API will allow to easily add XDP support. The penalty won't be visible in network testing i.e ipef/netperf etc, it only happens during raw packet drops. Furthermore we intend to add recycling capabilities on the API in the future. Once the recycling is added the performance penalty will go away. The only 'real' penalty is the slightly increased memory usage, since we now allocate a page per packet instead of the amount of bytes we need + skb metadata (difference is roughly 2kb per packet). With a minimum of 4BG of RAM on the only SoC that has this NIC the extra memory usage is negligible (a bit more on 64K pages) Signed-off-by: Ilias Apalodimas <ilias.apalodimas@linaro.org> Acked-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
