+Bare UDP Tunnelling Module Documentation
+========================================
+
+There are various L3 encapsulation standards using UDP being discussed to
+leverage the UDP based load balancing capability of different networks.
+MPLSoUDP (__ https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7510) is one among them.
+
+The Bareudp tunnel module provides a generic L3 encapsulation tunnelling
+support for tunnelling different L3 protocols like MPLS, IP, NSH etc. inside
+a UDP tunnel.
+
+Special Handling
+----------------
+The bareudp device supports special handling for MPLS & IP as they can have
+multiple ethertypes.
+MPLS procotcol can have ethertypes ETH_P_MPLS_UC (unicast) & ETH_P_MPLS_MC (multicast).
+IP protocol can have ethertypes ETH_P_IP (v4) & ETH_P_IPV6 (v6).
+This special handling can be enabled only for ethertypes ETH_P_IP & ETH_P_MPLS_UC
+with a flag called multiproto mode.
+
+Usage
+------
+
+1) Device creation & deletion
+
+ a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847.
+
+ This creates a bareudp tunnel device which tunnels L3 traffic with ethertype
+ 0x8847 (MPLS traffic). The destination port of the UDP header will be set to
+ 6635.The device will listen on UDP port 6635 to receive traffic.
+
+ b) ip link delete bareudp0
+
+2) Device creation with multiple proto mode enabled
+
+There are two ways to create a bareudp device for MPLS & IP with multiproto mode
+enabled.
+
+ a) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype 0x8847 multiproto
+
+ b) ip link add dev bareudp0 type bareudp dstport 6635 ethertype mpls
+
+3) Device Usage
+
+The bareudp device could be used along with OVS or flower filter in TC.
+The OVS or TC flower layer must set the tunnel information in SKB dst field before
+sending packet buffer to the bareudp device for transmission. On reception the
+bareudp device extracts and stores the tunnel information in SKB dst field before
+passing the packet buffer to the network stack.

+=============
+Devlink Flash
+=============
+
+The ``devlink-flash`` API allows updating device firmware. It replaces the
+older ``ethtool-flash`` mechanism, and doesn't require taking any
+networking locks in the kernel to perform the flash update. Example use::
+
+ $ devlink dev flash pci/0000:05:00.0 file flash-boot.bin
+
+Note that the file name is a path relative to the firmware loading path
+(usually ``/lib/firmware/``). Drivers may send status updates to inform
+user space about the progress of the update operation.
+
+Firmware Loading
+================
+
+Devices which require firmware to operate usually store it in non-volatile
+memory on the board, e.g. flash. Some devices store only basic firmware on
+the board, and the driver loads the rest from disk during probing.
+``devlink-info`` allows users to query firmware information (loaded
+components and versions).
+
+In other cases the device can both store the image on the board, load from
+disk, or automatically flash a new image from disk. The ``fw_load_policy``
+devlink parameter can be used to control this behavior
+(:ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-params.rst <devlink_params_generic>`).
+
+On-disk firmware files are usually stored in ``/lib/firmware/``.
+
+Firmware Version Management
+===========================
+
+Drivers are expected to implement ``devlink-flash`` and ``devlink-info``
+functionality, which together allow for implementing vendor-independent
+automated firmware update facilities.
+
+``devlink-info`` exposes the ``driver`` name and three version groups
+(``fixed``, ``running``, ``stored``).
+
+The ``driver`` attribute and ``fixed`` group identify the specific device
+design, e.g. for looking up applicable firmware updates. This is why
+``serial_number`` is not part of the ``fixed`` versions (even though it
+is fixed) - ``fixed`` versions should identify the design, not a single
+device.
+
+``running`` and ``stored`` firmware versions identify the firmware running
+on the device, and firmware which will be activated after reboot or device
+reset.
+
+The firmware update agent is supposed to be able to follow this simple
+algorithm to update firmware contents, regardless of the device vendor:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ # Get unique HW design identifier
+ $hw_id = devlink-dev-info['fixed']
+
+ # Find out which FW flash we want to use for this NIC
+ $want_flash_vers = some-db-backed.lookup($hw_id, 'flash')
+
+ # Update flash if necessary
+ if $want_flash_vers != devlink-dev-info['stored']:
+ $file = some-db-backed.download($hw_id, 'flash')
+ devlink-dev-flash($file)
+
+ # Find out the expected overall firmware versions
+ $want_fw_vers = some-db-backed.lookup($hw_id, 'all')
+
+ # Update on-disk file if necessary
+ if $want_fw_vers != devlink-dev-info['running']:
+ $file = some-db-backed.download($hw_id, 'disk')
+ write($file, '/lib/firmware/')
+
+ # Try device reset, if available
+ if $want_fw_vers != devlink-dev-info['running']:
+ devlink-reset()
+
+ # Reboot, if reset wasn't enough
+ if $want_fw_vers != devlink-dev-info['running']:
+ reboot()
+
+Note that each reference to ``devlink-dev-info`` in this pseudo-code
+is expected to fetch up-to-date information from the kernel.
+
+For the convenience of identifying firmware files some vendors add
+``bundle_id`` information to the firmware versions. This meta-version covers
+multiple per-component versions and can be used e.g. in firmware file names
+(all component versions could get rather long.)

- * - Type
+ * - Name
- Description
+ * - ``driver``
+ - Name of the currently used device driver, also available through sysfs.
+
+ * - ``serial_number``
+ - Serial number of the device.
+
+ This is usually the serial number of the ASIC, also often available
+ in PCI config space of the device in the *Device Serial Number*
+ capability.
+
+ The serial number should be unique per physical device.
+ Sometimes the serial number of the device is only 48 bits long (the
+ length of the Ethernet MAC address), and since PCI DSN is 64 bits long
+ devices pad or encode additional information into the serial number.
+ One example is adding port ID or PCI interface ID in the extra two bytes.
+ Drivers should make sure to strip or normalize any such padding
+ or interface ID, and report only the part of the serial number
+ which uniquely identifies the hardware. In other words serial number
+ reported for two ports of the same device or on two hosts of
+ a multi-host device should be identical.
+
+ .. note:: ``devlink-info`` API should be extended with a new field
+ if devices want to report board/product serial number (often
+ reported in PCI *Vital Product Data* capability).
+
* - ``fixed``
- - Represents fixed versions, which cannot change. For example,
+ - Group for hardware identifiers, and versions of components
+ which are not field-updatable.
+
+ Versions in this section identify the device design. For example,
component identifiers or the board version reported in the PCI VPD.
+ Data in ``devlink-info`` should be broken into the smallest logical
+ components, e.g. PCI VPD may concatenate various information
+ to form the Part Number string, while in ``devlink-info`` all parts
+ should be reported as separate items.
+
+ This group must not contain any frequently changing identifiers,
+ such as serial numbers. See
+ :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-flash.rst <devlink_flash>`
+ to understand why.
+
* - ``running``
- - Represents the version of the currently running component. For
- example the running version of firmware. These versions generally
- only update after a reboot.
+ - Group for information about currently running software/firmware.
+ These versions often only update after a reboot, sometimes device reset.
+
* - ``stored``
- - Represents the version of a component as stored, such as after a
- flash update. Stored values should update to reflect changes in the
- flash even if a reboot has not yet occurred.
+ - Group for software/firmware versions in device flash.
+
+ Stored values must update to reflect changes in the flash even
+ if reboot has not yet occurred. If device is not capable of updating
+ ``stored`` versions when new software is flashed, it must not report
+ them.
+
+Each version can be reported at most once in each version group. Firmware
+components stored on the flash should feature in both the ``running`` and
+``stored`` sections, if device is capable of reporting ``stored`` versions
+(see :ref:`Documentation/networking/devlink/devlink-flash.rst <devlink_flash>`).
+In case software/firmware components are loaded from the disk (e.g.
+``/lib/firmware``) only the running version should be reported via
+the kernel API.

+``DEVLINK_CMD_REGION_NEW`` netlink message. A driver wishing to allow
+requested snapshots must implement the ``.snapshot`` callback for the region

+
+Packet Trap Policers
+====================
+
+As previously explained, the underlying device can trap certain packets to the
+CPU for processing. In most cases, the underlying device is capable of handling
+packet rates that are several orders of magnitude higher compared to those that
+can be handled by the CPU.
+
+Therefore, in order to prevent the underlying device from overwhelming the CPU,
+devices usually include packet trap policers that are able to police the
+trapped packets to rates that can be handled by the CPU.
+
+The ``devlink-trap`` mechanism allows capable device drivers to register their
+supported packet trap policers with ``devlink``. The device driver can choose
+to associate these policers with supported packet trap groups (see
+:ref:`Generic-Packet-Trap-Groups`) during its initialization, thereby exposing
+its default control plane policy to user space.
+
+Device drivers should allow user space to change the parameters of the policers
+(e.g., rate, burst size) as well as the association between the policers and
+trap groups by implementing the relevant callbacks.
+
+If possible, device drivers should implement a callback that allows user space
+to retrieve the number of packets that were dropped by the policer because its
+configured policy was violated.

+ice devlink support
+===================
+
+This document describes the devlink features implemented by the ``ice``
+device driver.
+
+Info versions
+=============
+
+The ``ice`` driver reports the following versions
+
+.. list-table:: devlink info versions implemented
+ :widths: 5 5 5 90
+
+ * - Name
+ - Type
+ - Example
+ - Description
+ * - ``board.id``
+ - fixed
+ - K65390-000
+ - The Product Board Assembly (PBA) identifier of the board.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt``
+ - running
+ - 2.1.7
+ - 3-digit version number of the management firmware that controls the
+ PHY, link, etc.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt.api``
+ - running
+ - 1.5
+ - 2-digit version number of the API exported over the AdminQ by the
+ management firmware. Used by the driver to identify what commands
+ are supported.
+ * - ``fw.mgmt.build``
+ - running
+ - 0x305d955f
+ - Unique identifier of the source for the management firmware.
+ * - ``fw.undi``
+ - running
+ - 1.2581.0
+ - Version of the Option ROM containing the UEFI driver. The version is
+ reported in ``major.minor.patch`` format. The major version is
+ incremented whenever a major breaking change occurs, or when the
+ minor version would overflow. The minor version is incremented for
+ non-breaking changes and reset to 1 when the major version is
+ incremented. The patch version is normally 0 but is incremented when
+ a fix is delivered as a patch against an older base Option ROM.
+ * - ``fw.psid.api``
+ - running
+ - 0.80
+ - Version defining the format of the flash contents.
+ * - ``fw.bundle_id``
+ - running
+ - 0x80002ec0
+ - Unique identifier of the firmware image file that was loaded onto
+ the device. Also referred to as the EETRACK identifier of the NVM.
+ * - ``fw.app.name``
+ - running
+ - ICE OS Default Package
+ - The name of the DDP package that is active in the device. The DDP
+ package is loaded by the driver during initialization. Each varation
+ of DDP package shall have a unique name.
+ * - ``fw.app``
+ - running
+ - 1.3.1.0
+ - The version of the DDP package that is active in the device. Note
+ that both the name (as reported by ``fw.app.name``) and version are
+ required to uniquely identify the package.

+Bitmaps in kernel response have the same meaning as bitmaps used in ioctl
+interference but attribute names are different (they are based on
+corresponding members of struct net_device). Legacy "flags" are not provided,
+if userspace needs them (most likely only ethtool for backward compatibility),
+it can calculate their values from related feature bits itself.
+ETHA_FEATURES_HW uses mask consisting of all features recognized by kernel (to
+provide all names when using verbose bitmap format), the other three use no

+Request constains only one bitset which can be either value/mask pair (request
+to change specific feature bits and leave the rest) or only a value (request
+to set all features to specified set).
+
+As request is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks, optional
+kernel reply (can be suppressed by ``ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY`` flag in request
+header) informs client about the actual result. ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_WANTED``
+reports the difference between client request and actual result: mask consists
+of bits which differ between requested features and result (dev->features
+after the operation), value consists of values of these bits in the request
+(i.e. negated values from resulting features). ``ETHTOOL_A_FEATURES_ACTIVE``
+reports the difference between old and new dev->features: mask consists of
+bits which have changed, values are their values in new dev->features (after
+the operation).
+
+``ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF`` notification is sent not only if device features

+``ETHTOOL_A_PRIVFLAGS_FLAGS`` is a bitset with values of device private flags.
+These flags are defined by driver, their number and names (and also meaning)
+are device dependent. For compact bitset format, names can be retrieved as

+response uses all private flags supported by the device as mask so that client
+gets the full information without having to fetch the string set with names.

+Page Pool API
+=============
+
+The page_pool allocator is optimized for the XDP mode that uses one frame
+per-page, but it can fallback on the regular page allocator APIs.
+
+Basic use involves replacing alloc_pages() calls with the
+page_pool_alloc_pages() call. Drivers should use page_pool_dev_alloc_pages()
+replacing dev_alloc_pages().
+
+API keeps track of inflight pages, in order to let API user know
+when it is safe to free a page_pool object. Thus, API users
+must run page_pool_release_page() when a page is leaving the page_pool or
+call page_pool_put_page() where appropriate in order to maintain correct
+accounting.
+
+API user must call page_pool_put_page() once on a page, as it
+will either recycle the page, or in case of refcnt > 1, it will
+release the DMA mapping and inflight state accounting.

+API interface
+=============
+The number of pools created **must** match the number of hardware queues
+unless hardware restrictions make that impossible. This would otherwise beat the
+purpose of page pool, which is allocate pages fast from cache without locking.
+This lockless guarantee naturally comes from running under a NAPI softirq.
+The protection doesn't strictly have to be NAPI, any guarantee that allocating
+a page will cause no race conditions is enough.
+
+* page_pool_create(): Create a pool.
+ * flags: PP_FLAG_DMA_MAP, PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV
+ * order: 2^order pages on allocation
+ * pool_size: size of the ptr_ring
+ * nid: preferred NUMA node for allocation
+ * dev: struct device. Used on DMA operations
+ * dma_dir: DMA direction
+ * max_len: max DMA sync memory size
+ * offset: DMA address offset
+
+* page_pool_put_page(): The outcome of this depends on the page refcnt. If the
+ driver bumps the refcnt > 1 this will unmap the page. If the page refcnt is 1
+ the allocator owns the page and will try to recycle it in one of the pool
+ caches. If PP_FLAG_DMA_SYNC_DEV is set, the page will be synced for_device
+ using dma_sync_single_range_for_device().
+
+* page_pool_put_full_page(): Similar to page_pool_put_page(), but will DMA sync
+ for the entire memory area configured in area pool->max_len.
+
+* page_pool_recycle_direct(): Similar to page_pool_put_full_page() but caller
+ must guarantee safe context (e.g NAPI), since it will recycle the page
+ directly into the pool fast cache.
+
+* page_pool_release_page(): Unmap the page (if mapped) and account for it on
+ inflight counters.
+
+* page_pool_dev_alloc_pages(): Get a page from the page allocator or page_pool
+ caches.
+
+* page_pool_get_dma_addr(): Retrieve the stored DMA address.
+
+* page_pool_get_dma_dir(): Retrieve the stored DMA direction.
