2018-05-23devlink: don't take instance lock around eswitch mode setJakub Kicinski1-1/+2
Changing switch mode may want to register and unregister devlink ports. Therefore similarly to DEVLINK_CMD_PORT_SPLIT/UNSPLIT it should not take the instance lock. Drivers don't depend on existing locking since it's a very recent addition.

2018-04-08devlink: convert occ_get op to separate registrationJiri Pirko1-9/+65
This resolves race during initialization where the resources with ops are registered before driver and the structures used by occ_get op is initialized. So keep occ_get callbacks registered only when all structs are initialized. The example flows, as it is in mlxsw: 1) driver load/asic probe: mlxsw_core -> mlxsw_sp_resources_register -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_resources_register -> devlink_resource_register IDX mlxsw_spectrum -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_init -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_parts_init -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_part_init -> devlink_resource_size_get IDX (to get the current setup size from devlink) -> devlink_resource_occ_get_register IDX (register current occupancy getter) 2) reload triggered by devlink command: -> mlxsw_devlink_core_bus_device_reload -> mlxsw_sp_fini -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_fini -> devlink_resource_occ_get_unregister IDX (struct mlxsw_sp *mlxsw_sp is freed at this point, call to occ get which is using mlxsw_sp would cause use-after free) -> mlxsw_sp_init -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_init -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_parts_init -> mlxsw_sp_kvdl_part_init -> devlink_resource_size_get IDX (to get the current setup size from devlink) -> devlink_resource_occ_get_register IDX (register current occupancy getter) Fixes: d9f9b9a4d05f ("devlink: Add support for resource abstraction") Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Fun set of conflict resolutions here... For the mac80211 stuff, these were fortunately just parallel adds. Trivially resolved. In drivers/net/phy/phy.c we had a bug fix in 'net' that moved the function phy_disable_interrupts() earlier in the file, whilst in 'net-next' the phy_error() call from this function was removed. In net/ipv4/xfrm4_policy.c, David Ahern's changes to remove the 'rt_table_id' member of rtable collided with a bug fix in 'net' that added a new struct member "rt_mtu_locked" which needs to be copied over here. The mlxsw driver conflict consisted of net-next separating the span code and definitions into separate files, whilst a 'net' bug fix made some changes to that moved code. The mlx5 infiniband conflict resolution was quite non-trivial, the RDMA tree's merge commit was used as a guide here, and here are their notes: ==================== Due to bug fixes found by the syzkaller bot and taken into the for-rc branch after development for the 4.17 merge window had already started being taken into the for-next branch, there were fairly non-trivial merge issues that would need to be resolved between the for-rc branch and the for-next branch. This merge resolves those conflicts and provides a unified base upon which ongoing development for 4.17 can be based. Conflicts: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/main.c - Commit 42cea83f9524 (IB/mlx5: Fix cleanup order on unload) added to for-rc and commit b5ca15ad7e61 (IB/mlx5: Add proper representors support) add as part of the devel cycle both needed to modify the init/de-init functions used by mlx5. To support the new representors, the new functions added by the cleanup patch needed to be made non-static, and the init/de-init list added by the representors patch needed to be modified to match the init/de-init list changes made by the cleanup patch. Updates: drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/mlx5_ib.h - Update function prototypes added by representors patch to reflect new function names as changed by cleanup patch drivers/infiniband/hw/mlx5/ib_rep.c - Update init/de-init stage list to match new order from cleanup patch ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-03-28devlink: Support for pipeline debug (dpipe)Arkadi Sharshevsky1-0/+836
The pipeline debug is used to export the pipeline abstractions for the main objects - tables, headers and entries. The only support for set is for changing the counter parameter on specific table. The basic structures: Header - can represent a real protocol header information or internal metadata. Generic protocol headers like IPv4 can be shared between drivers. Each driver can add local headers. Field - part of a header. Can represent protocol field or specific ASIC metadata field. Hardware special metadata fields can be mapped to different resources, for example switch ASIC ports can have internal number which from the systems point of view is mapped to netdeivce ifindex. Match - represent specific match rule. Can describe match on specific field or header. The header index should be specified as well in order to support several header instances of the same type (tunneling). Action - represents specific action rule. Actions can describe operations on specific field values for example like set, increment, etc. And header operation like add and delete. Value - represents value which can be associated with specific match or action. Table - represents a hardware block which can be described with match/ action behavior. The match/action can be done on the packets data or on the internal metadata that it gathered along the packets traversal throw the pipeline which is vendor specific and should be exported in order to provide understanding of ASICs behavior. Entry - represents single record in a specific table. The entry is identified by specific combination of values for match/action. Prior to accessing the tables/entries the drivers provide the header/ field data base which is used by driver to user-space. The data base is split between the shared headers and unique headers.

2016-10-27genetlink: mark families as __ro_after_initJohannes Berg1-1/+1
Now genl_register_family() is the only thing (other than the users themselves, perhaps, but I didn't find any doing that) writing to the family struct. In all families that I found, genl_register_family() is only called from __init functions (some indirectly, in which case I've add __init annotations to clarifly things), so all can actually be marked __ro_after_init.

2016-10-27genetlink: no longer support using static family IDsJohannes Berg1-1/+0
Static family IDs have never really been used, the only use case was the workaround I introduced for those users that assumed their family ID was also their multicast group ID. Additionally, because static family IDs would never be reserved by the generic netlink code, using a relatively low ID would only work for built-in families that can be registered immediately after generic netlink is started, which is basically only the control family (apart from the workaround code, which I also had to add code for so it would reserve those IDs) Thus, anything other than GENL_ID_GENERATE is flawed and luckily not used except in the cases I mentioned. Move those workarounds into a few lines of code, and then get rid of GENL_ID_GENERATE entirely, making it more robust. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
