2015-08-31Merge branch 'dsa-port-config'David S. Miller17-39/+255
Andrew Lunn says: ==================== DSA port configuration and status This patchset allows various switch port settings to be configured and port status to be sampled. Some of these patches have been posted before. The first three patches provide infrastructure for configuring a switch ports link speed and duplex from a fixed_link phy. Patch four then uses this infrastructure to allow the CPU and DSA ports of a switch to be configured using a fixed-link property in the device tree. Patches five and six allow a phy-mode property to be specified in the device tree, and allow this to be used for configuring RGMII delays. Patches seven through nine allow link status, for example that of an SFP module, to be read from a gpio.

2015-08-31net: phy: fixed_phy: Set phy capabilities even when link down.Andrew Lunn1-25/+48
What features a phy supports is masked in genphy_config_init() by looking at the PHYs BMSR register. If the link is down, fixed_phy_update_regs() will only set the auto- negotiation capable bit in BMSR. Thus genphy_config_init() comes to the conclusion the PHY can only perform 10/Half, and masks out the higher speed features. If however the link it up, BMSR is set to indicate the speed the PHY is capable of auto-negotiating, and genphy_config_init() does not mask out the high speed features. To fix this, when the link is down, have fixed_phy_update_regs() leave the link status, auto-negotiation complete, and link partner capabilities unset, but set all the local capabilities depending on the fixed phy speed.

2015-08-31net: phy: Allow PHY devices to identify themselves as Ethernet switches, etc.Florian Fainelli2-0/+13
Some Ethernet MAC drivers using the PHY library require the hardcoding of link parameters when interfaced to a switch device, SFP module, switch to switch port, etc. This has typically lead to various ad-hoc implementations looking like this: - using a "fixed PHY" emulated device, which will provide link indication towards the Ethernet MAC driver and hardware - pretend there is no PHY and hardcode link parameters, ala mv643x_eth Based on that, it is desireable to have the PHY drivers advertise the correct link parameters, just like regular Ethernet PHYs towards their CPU Ethernet MAC drivers, however, Ethernet MAC drivers should be able to tell whether this link should be monitored or not. In the context of an Ethernet switch, SFP module, switch to switch link, we do not need to monitor this link since it should be always up.

Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== tcp: receive-side per route dctcp handling Original cover letter: Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should: - responder has f.e. cubic as system wide default - 'ip route congctl dctcp $src' was set Then, DCTCP is NOT used if a DCTCP sender attempts to connect from a host in the $src range: ECT(0) is set, but listen_sk is not dctcp, so we fail the INET_ECN_is_not_ect sanity check. We also have to examine the dst used for the SYN/ACK reply to make this case work. In order to minimize additional cost, store the 'ecn is must have' information is the dst_features field. The set targets -next instead of -net since this doesn't seem to be a serious bug and to give the change more soak time until it hits linus tree. v1 -> v2: - Addressed Dave's feedback, not exposing any bits to user space - Added patch 3 to reject incorrect configurations - Rest as is, rebased and retested ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-08-31tcp: use dctcp if enabled on the route to the initiatorDaniel Borkmann7-9/+36
Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should: A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok, and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes. We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0) is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request(). Joint work with Florian Westphal.

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame (ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are VALID frames. To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames to find VALID frames at poll() like netlink_alloc_skb(), netlink_forward_ring() finding an UNUSED frame at skb allocation.

2015-08-29openvswitch: Remove vport stats.Pravin B Shelar5-170/+56
Since all vport types are now backed by netdev, we can directly use netdev stats. Following patch removes redundant stat from vport. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2015-08-29openvswitch: Remove egress_tun_info.Pravin B Shelar8-20/+7
tun info is passed using skb-dst pointer. Now we have converted all vports to netdev based implementation so Now we can remove redundant pointer to tun-info from OVS_CB. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2015-08-29geneve: Use GRO cells infrastructure.Jesse Gross1-1/+16
Geneve can benefit from GRO at the device level in a manner similar to other tunnels, especially as hardware offloads are still emerging. After this patch, aggregated frames are seen on the tunnel interface. Single stream throughput nearly doubles in ideal circumstances (on old hardware).

2015-08-29openvswitch: retain parsed IPv6 header fields in flow on error skipping ↵Simon Horman1-6/+15
extension headers When an error occurs skipping IPv6 extension headers retain the already parsed IP protocol and IPv6 addresses in the flow. Also assume that the packet is not a fragment in the absence of information to the contrary; that is always use the frag_off value set by ipv6_skip_exthdr(). This allows matching on the IP protocol and IPv6 addresses of packets with malformed extension headers. Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <simon.horman@netronome.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2015-08-29net/smsc911x: Fix deferred probe for interruptTony Lindgren1-1/+4
The interrupt handler may not be available when smsc911x probes if the interrupt handler is a GPIO controller for example. Let's fix that by adding handling for -EPROBE_DEFER.
