Documentation: networking: Fix missing PSE documentation and grammar issues

2024-09-14T02:59:53Z

Fix a missing end of phrase in the documentation. It describes the ETHTOOL_A_C33_PSE_ACTUAL_PW attribute, which was not fully explained. Also, fix grammar issues by using simple present tense instead of present continuous.

net/mlx5e: SHAMPO, Add no-split ethtool counters for header/data split

2024-09-13T03:50:30Z

When SHAMPO can't identify the protocol/header of a packet, it will yield a packet that is not split - all the packet is in the data part. Count this value in packets and bytes.

net: ena: Add ENA Express metrics support

2024-09-13T01:01:17Z

ENA Express metrics, called `ena_srd` are exposed to customers via `ethtool`. The metrics allow customers to check the configuration (mode), tx/rx counters as well as resource utilization. The documentation is also updated to provide a general explanation about ENA Express as well as links for further information about metrics and configurations.

Documentation: networking: add OPEN Alliance 10BASE-T1x MAC-PHY serial interface

2024-09-12T03:53:42Z

The IEEE 802.3cg project defines two 10 Mbit/s PHYs operating over a single pair of conductors. The 10BASE-T1L (Clause 146) is a long reach PHY supporting full duplex point-to-point operation over 1 km of single balanced pair of conductors. The 10BASE-T1S (Clause 147) is a short reach PHY supporting full / half duplex point-to-point operation over 15 m of single balanced pair of conductors, or half duplex multidrop bus operation over 25 m of single balanced pair of conductors. Furthermore, the IEEE 802.3cg project defines the new Physical Layer Collision Avoidance (PLCA) Reconciliation Sublayer (Clause 148) meant to provide improved determinism to the CSMA/CD media access method. PLCA works in conjunction with the 10BASE-T1S PHY operating in multidrop mode. The aforementioned PHYs are intended to cover the low-speed / low-cost applications in industrial and automotive environment. The large number of pins (16) required by the MII interface, which is specified by the IEEE 802.3 in Clause 22, is one of the major cost factors that need to be addressed to fulfil this objective. The MAC-PHY solution integrates an IEEE Clause 4 MAC and a 10BASE-T1x PHY exposing a low pin count Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to the host microcontroller. This also enables the addition of Ethernet functionality to existing low-end microcontrollers which do not integrate a MAC controller.

mptcp: disable active MPTCP in case of blackhole

2024-09-11T22:57:50Z

An MPTCP firewall blackhole can be detected if the following SYN retransmission after a fallback to "plain" TCP is accepted. In case of blackhole, a similar technique to the one in place with TFO is now used: MPTCP can be disabled for a certain period of time, 1h by default. This time period will grow exponentially when more blackhole issues get detected right after MPTCP is re-enabled and will reset to the initial value when the blackhole issue goes away. The blackhole period can be modified thanks to a new sysctl knob: blackhole_timeout. Two new MIB counters help understanding what's happening: - 'Blackhole', incremented when a blackhole is detected. - 'MPCapableSYNTXDisabled', incremented when an MPTCP connection directly falls back to TCP during the blackhole period. Because the technique is inspired by the one used by TFO, an important part of the new code is similar to what can find in tcp_fastopen.c, with some adaptations to the MPTCP case.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2024-08-29 HW-Managed Flow Steering in mlx5 driver Yevgeny Kliteynik says: ======================= 1. Overview ----------- ConnectX devices support packet matching, modification, and redirection. This functionality is referred as Flow Steering. To configure a steering rule, the rule is written to the device-owned memory. This memory is accessed and cached by the device when processing a packet. The first implementation of Flow Steering was done in FW, and it is referred in the mlx5 driver as Device-Managed Flow Steering (DMFS). Later we introduced SW-managed Flow Steering (SWS or SMFS), where the driver is writing directly to the device's configuration memory (ICM) through RC QP using RDMA operations (RDMA-read and RDAM-write), thus achieving higher rates of rule insertion/deletion. Now we introduce a new flow steering implementation: HW-Managed Flow Steering (HWS or HMFS). In this new approach, the driver is configuring steering rules directly to the HW using the WQs with a special new type of WQE. This way we can reach higher rule insertion/deletion rate with much lower CPU utilization compared to SWS. The key benefits of HWS as opposed to SWS: + HW manages the steering decision tree - HW calculates CRC for each entry - HW handles tree hash collisions - HW & FW manage objects refcount + HW keeps cache coherency: - HW provides tree access locking and synchronization - HW provides notification on completion + Insertion rate isn’t affected by background traffic - Dedicated HW components that handle insertion 2. Performance -------------- Measuring Connection Tracking with simple IPv4 flows w/o NAT, we are able to get ~5 times more flows offloaded per second using HWS. 3. Configuration ---------------- The enablement of HWS mode in eswitch manager is done using the same devlink param that is already used for switching between FW-managed steering and SW-managed steering modes: # devlink dev param set pci/ name flow_steering_mode cmod runtime value hmfs 4. Upstream Submission ---------------------- HWS support consists of 3 main components: + Steering: - The lower layer that exposes HWS API to upper layers and implements all the management of flow steering building blocks + FS-Core - Implementation of fs_hws layer to enable fs_core to use HWS instead of FW or SW steering - Create HW steering action pools to utilize the ability of HWS to share steering actions among different rules - Add support for configuring HWS mode through devlink command, similar to configuring SWS mode + Connection Tracking - Implementation of CT support for HW steering - Hooks up the CT ops for the new steering mode and uses the HWS API to implement connection tracking. Because of the large number of patches, we need to perform the submission in several separate patch series. This series is the first submission that lays the ground work for the next submissions, where an actual user of HWS will be added. 5. Patches in this series ------------------------- This patch series contains implementation of the first bullet from above. ======================= * tag 'mlx5-updates-2024-09-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux: net/mlx5: HWS, added API and enabled HWS support net/mlx5: HWS, added send engine and context handling net/mlx5: HWS, added debug dump and internal headers net/mlx5: HWS, added backward-compatible API handling net/mlx5: HWS, added memory management handling net/mlx5: HWS, added vport handling net/mlx5: HWS, added modify header pattern and args handling net/mlx5: HWS, added FW commands handling net/mlx5: HWS, added matchers functionality net/mlx5: HWS, added definers handling net/mlx5: HWS, added rules handling net/mlx5: HWS, added tables handling net/mlx5: HWS, added actions handling net/mlx5: Added missing definitions in preparation for HW Steering net/mlx5: Added missing mlx5_ifc definition for HW Steering ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240909181250.41596-1-saeed@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net-timestamp: introduce SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER flag

2024-09-10T23:55:23Z

introduce a new flag SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_RX_FILTER in the receive path. User can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE to filter out rx software timestamp report, especially after a process turns on netstamp_needed_key which can time stamp every incoming skb. Previously, we found out if an application starts first which turns on netstamp_needed_key, then another one only passing SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE could also get rx timestamp. Now we handle this case by introducing this new flag without breaking users. Quoting Willem to explain why we need the flag: "why a process would want to request software timestamp reporting, but not receive software timestamp generation. The only use I see is when the application does request SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE | SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE." Similarly, this new flag could also be used for hardware case where we can set it with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE, then we won't receive hardware receive timestamp. Another thing about errqueue in this patch I have a few words to say: In this case, we need to handle the egress path carefully, or else reporting the tx timestamp will fail. Egress path and ingress path will finally call sock_recv_timestamp(). We have to distinguish them. Errqueue is a good indicator to reflect the flow direction.
