2016-03-01bnxt_en: Use firmware provided message timeout value.Michael Chan2-1/+10
Before this patch, we used a hardcoded value of 500 msec as the default value for firmware message response timeout. For better portability with future hardware or debug platforms, use the value provided by firmware in the first response and store it for all susequent messages. Redefine the macro HWRM_CMD_TIMEOUT to the stored value. Since we don't have the value yet in the first message, use the 500 ms default if the stored value is zero.

2016-03-01bnxt_en: Add coalescing support for tx rings.Michael Chan3-8/+49
When tx and rx rings don't share the same completion ring, tx coalescing parameters can be set differently from the rx coalescing parameters. Otherwise, use rx coalescing parameters on shared completion rings. Adjust rx coalescing default values to lower interrupt rate.

2016-03-01bnxt_en: Store irq coalescing timer values in micro seconds.Michael Chan3-29/+34
Don't convert these to internal hardware tick values before storing them. This avoids the confusion of ethtool -c returning slightly different values than the ones set using ethtool -C when we convert hardware tick values back to micro seconds. Add better comments for the hardware settings. Also, rename the current set of coalescing fields with rx_ prefix. The next patch will add support of tx coalescing values.

2016-03-01bnxt_en: Send PF driver unload notification to all VFs.Jeffrey Huang3-2/+52
During remove_one() when SRIOV is enabled, the PF driver should broadcast PF driver unload notification to all VFs that are attached to VMs. Upon receiving the PF driver unload notification, the VF driver should print a warning message to message log.

2016-03-01bnxt_en: Improve bnxt_vf_update_mac().Jeffrey Huang1-5/+11
Allow the VF to setup its own MAC address if the PF has not administratively set it for the VF. To do that, we should always store the MAC address from the firmware. There are 2 cases: 1. The MAC address is valid. This MAC address is assigned by the PF and it needs to override the current VF MAC address. 2. The MAC address is zero. The VF will use a random MAC address by default. By storing this 0 MAC address in the VF structure, it will allow the VF user to change the MAC address later using ndo_set_mac_address() when it sees that the stored MAC address is 0. v2: Expanded descriptions and added more comments.

2016-02-26GSO: Provide software checksum of tunneled UDP fragmentation offloadAlexander Duyck3-7/+37
On reviewing the code I realized that GRE and UDP tunnels could cause a kernel panic if we used GSO to segment a large UDP frame that was sent through the tunnel with an outer checksum and hardware offloads were not available. In order to correct this we need to update the feature flags that are passed to the skb_segment function so that in the event of UDP fragmentation being requested for the inner header the segmentation function will correctly generate the checksum for the payload if we cannot segment the outer header.

When selecting an address in context of a VRF, the vrf master should be preferred for address selection. If it isn't, the user has a hard time getting the system to select to their preference - the code will pick the address off the first in-VRF interface it can find, which on a router could well be a non-routable address.

2016-02-26net: l3mdev: address selection should only consider devices in L3 domainDavid Ahern3-4/+16
David Lamparter noted a use case where the source address selection fails to pick an address from a VRF interface - unnumbered interfaces. Relevant commands from his script: ip addr add 9.9.9.9/32 dev lo ip link set lo up ip link add name vrf0 type vrf table 101 ip rule add oif vrf0 table 101 ip rule add iif vrf0 table 101 ip link set vrf0 up ip addr add 10.0.0.3/32 dev vrf0 ip link add name dummy2 type dummy ip link set dummy2 master vrf0 up --> note dummy2 has no address - unnumbered device ip route add 10.2.2.2/32 dev dummy2 table 101 ip neigh add 10.2.2.2 dev dummy2 lladdr 02:00:00:00:00:02 tcpdump -ni dummy2 & And using ping instead of his socat example: $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2 ping: Warning: source address might be selected on device other than vrf0. PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 9.9.9.9 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data. >From tcpdump: 12:57:29.449128 IP 9.9.9.9 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2491, seq 1, length 64 Note the source address is from lo and is not a VRF local address. With this patch: $ ping -I vrf0 -c1 10.2.2.2 PING 10.2.2.2 (10.2.2.2) from 10.0.0.3 vrf0: 56(84) bytes of data. >From tcpdump: 12:59:25.096426 IP 10.0.0.3 > 10.2.2.2: ICMP echo request, id 2113, seq 1, length 64 Now the source address comes from vrf0. The ipv4 function for selecting source address takes a const argument. Removing the const requires touching a lot of places, so instead l3mdev_master_ifindex_rcu is changed to take a const argument and then do the typecast to non-const as required by netdev_master_upper_dev_get_rcu. This is similar to what l3mdev_fib_table_rcu does. IPv6 for unnumbered interfaces appears to be selecting the addresses properly.

2016-02-26can: rcar: add device tree support for r8a779[234]Simon Horman1-0/+3
Simply document new compatibility string. As a previous patch adds a generic R-Car Gen2 compatibility string there appears to be no need for a driver updates. By documenting these compat stings they may be used in DTSs shipped, for example as part of ROMs. They must be used in conjunction with the Gen2 fallback compat string. At this time there are no known differences between the r8a779[234] IP blocks and that implemented by the driver for the Gen2 fallback compat string. Thus there is no need to update the driver as the use of the Gen2 fallback compat string will activate the correct code in the current driver while leaving the option for r8a779[234]-specific driver code to be activated in an updated driver should the need arise.

2016-02-26can: rcar: add gen[12] fallback compatibility stringsSimon Horman2-1/+9
Add fallback compatibility string for R-Car Gen 1 and Gen2. In the case of Renesas R-Car hardware we know that there are generations of SoCs, e.g. Gen 1 and Gen 2. But beyond that its not clear what the relationship between IP blocks might be. For example, I believe that r8a7779 is older than r8a7778 but that doesn't imply that the latter is a descendant of the former or vice versa. We can, however, by examining the documentation and behaviour of the hardware at run-time observe that the current driver implementation appears to be compatible with the IP blocks on SoCs within a given generation. For the above reasons and convenience when enabling new SoCs a per-generation fallback compatibility string scheme being adopted for drivers for Renesas SoCs.

2016-02-25net: ethtool: add new ETHTOOL_xLINKSETTINGS APIDavid Decotigny3-80/+786
This patch defines a new ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS/SLINKSETTINGS API, handled by the new get_link_ksettings/set_link_ksettings callbacks. This API provides support for most legacy ethtool_cmd fields, adds support for larger link mode masks (up to 4064 bits, variable length), and removes ethtool_cmd deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). This API is deprecating the legacy ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET API and provides the following backward compatibility properties: - legacy ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the get_settings/set_settings callbacks. - legacy ethtool with new get/set_link_ksettings drivers: the new driver callbacks are used, data internally converted to legacy ethtool_cmd. ETHTOOL_GSET will return only the 1st 32b of each link mode mask. ETHTOOL_SSET will fail if user tries to set the ethtool_cmd deprecated fields to non-0 (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt). A kernel warning is logged if driver sets higher bits. - future ethtool with legacy drivers: no change, still using the get_settings/set_settings callbacks, internally converted to new data structure. Deprecated fields (transceiver/maxrxpkt/maxtxpkt) will be ignored and seen as 0 from user space. Note that that "future" ethtool tool will not allow changes to these deprecated fields. - future ethtool with new drivers: direct call to the new callbacks. By "future" ethtool, what is meant is: - query: first try ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS, and revert to ETHTOOL_GSET if fails - set: query first and remember which of ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS or ETHTOOL_GSET was successful + if ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS was successful, then change config with ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS. A failure there is final (do not try ETHTOOL_SSET). + otherwise ETHTOOL_GSET was successful, change config with ETHTOOL_SSET. A failure there is final (do not try ETHTOOL_SLINKSETTINGS). The interaction user/kernel via the new API requires a small ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS handshake first to agree on the length of the link mode bitmaps. If kernel doesn't agree with user, it returns the bitmap length it is expecting from user as a negative length (and cmd field is 0). When kernel and user agree, kernel returns valid info in all fields (ie. link mode length > 0 and cmd is ETHTOOL_GLINKSETTINGS). Data structure crossing user/kernel boundary is 32/64-bit agnostic. Converted internally to a legal kernel bitmap. The internal __ethtool_get_settings kernel helper will gradually be replaced by __ethtool_get_link_ksettings by the time the first "link_settings" drivers start to appear. So this patch doesn't change it, it will be removed before it needs to be changed. Signed-off-by: David Decotigny <decot@googlers.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2016-02-25net: Facility to report route quality of connected socketsTom Herbert14-0/+30
This patch add the SO_CNX_ADVICE socket option (setsockopt only). The purpose is to allow an application to give feedback to the kernel about the quality of the network path for a connected socket. The value argument indicates the type of quality report. For this initial patch the only supported advice is a value of 1 which indicates "bad path, please reroute"-- the action taken by the kernel is to call dst_negative_advice which will attempt to choose a different ECMP route, reset the TX hash for flow label and UDP source port in encapsulation, etc. This facility should be useful for connected UDP sockets where only the application can provide any feedback about path quality. It could also be useful for TCP applications that have additional knowledge about the path outside of the normal TCP control loop.

2016-02-25tipc: fix crash during node removalJon Paul Maloy1-13/+11
When the TIPC module is unloaded, we have identified a race condition that allows a node reference counter to go to zero and the node instance being freed before the node timer is finished with accessing it. This leads to occasional crashes, especially in multi-namespace environments. The scenario goes as follows: CPU0:(node_stop) CPU1:(node_timeout) // ref == 2 1: if(!mod_timer()) 2: if (del_timer()) 3: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 1 4: tipc_node_put() // ref -> 0 5: kfree_rcu(node); 6: tipc_node_get(node) 7: // BOOM! We now clean up this functionality as follows: 1) We remove the node pointer from the node lookup table before we attempt deactivating the timer. This way, we reduce the risk that tipc_node_find() may obtain a valid pointer to an instance marked for deletion; a harmless but undesirable situation. 2) We use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() to safely deactivate the node timer without any risk that it might be reactivated by the timeout handler. There is no risk of deadlock here, since the two functions never touch the same spinlocks. 3: We remove a pointless tipc_node_get() + tipc_node_put() from the timeout handler.
