Mellanox shared code between RDMA and net-next trees
This is Mellanox mlx5_core shared code for both net-next and RDMA
trees for 4.8 kernel cycle.
The latest changes to the MDIO code introduced a false-positive
warning with gcc-6 (possibly others):
drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c: In function 'mdio_mux_init':
drivers/net/phy/mdio-mux.c:188:3: error: 'parent_bus_node' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
It's easy to avoid the warning by making sure the parent_bus_node
is initialized in both cases at the start of the function, since
the later 'of_node_put()' call is also valid for a NULL pointer
argument.

====================
6lowpan: introduce 6lowpan-nd
David can you please pick-up this patch-serie for your net-next tree?
Thanks in advance.
This patch series introduces the ndisc ops callback structure to add different
handling for IPv6 neighbour discovery cache functionality. It implements at first
the two following use-cases:
- 6CO handling as userspace option (For all 6LoWPAN layers, BTLE/802.15.4) [0]
- short address handling for 802.15.4 6LoWPAN only [1]
Since my last patch series, I completely changed the whole ndisc_ops callback
structure to not replace the whole ndisc functionality at recv/send level of
NS/NA/RS/RA which I send in my previous patch-series "6lowpan: introduce basic
6lowpan-nd". I changed it now to add different handling in a very low-level way
of ndisc functionality.
The ndisc_ops don't must be registered to dev->ndisc_ops anymore, if they are not
set, then no additional ipv6 ndisc handling will be done.
This patch series now introduce a complete handling of short address for
802.15.4 6LoWPAN in case of send/recv of NA/NS/RS and RA. In case of RA
(receive only) and PIO we also need a second prefix + short-address based
address.
This callback structure can be used later (I hope) for RFC 6775 [0]. This RFC
defines some new option fields and messages for 6LoWPAN-ND. This patch series
does not implement RFC 6775 (except we decide now to handle 6CO in userspace).
Additional we can use the current ops for parse/fill ndisc options for kernel
handled ndisc messages to add 6CIO, see [2].
I tested RA/NS/NA/RS messages with short address which seems to work, what I
didn't test is the redirect messages since I don't know how to generate them.
The short address for redirect messages are also some special case here, because
the short address by a L3 target address lookuped by neighbour cache need to be
added.
btw:
According to [3] sending redirect messages should be also disabled by default
on 6lowpan interfaces, but can be activated afterwards. This is maybe
something for the ipv6_devconf structure. There is a "accept_redirects" but
no "disable_redirects".

changes since RFC:
- add lowlevel functions __ndisc_opt_addr_space,
__ndisc_opt_addr_data and __ndisc_fill_addr_option for corresponding
functions which doesn't requires net_device argument.
- move ndisc_ops e.g. ndisc_ops_fill_addr_option function call into the

- fix error handling in addrconf_prefix_rcv_add_addr.
(Please see, introduce new API handling that second address registration
(in case of 802.15.4 6LoWPAN) will still be notified if failed, because
dev->addr was successful.
- add ieee802154 sub-directory in short address entry for 6lowpan UAPI.
- add lowpan_802154_is_valid_src_short_addr, because 802.15.4 6lowpan
defines the first bit as multicast (don't know how this can be working
at the end, because some hardware addresses will handle such addresses
in L2 as unicast. See:
https://www.iana.org/assignments/_6lowpan-parameters/_6lowpan-parameters.xhtml#_6lowpan-parameters-2
changes since v2:
- Introduce ndisc_ops to have our own implementation for dealing with NS/NA
which allows also to support RFC6775 (e.g. ARO).
- add handling for handling 6CO as userspace option for RA messages in
case of 6LoWPAN interfaces.
- change lowpan_is_ll to check on linklayer type only.
- added some reviewed-by's.
- move short addr slaac to net/6lowpan instead ipv6 handling.
- add handling for context based address compression in case for

TIPC based clusters are by default set up with full-mesh link
connectivity between all nodes. Those links are expected to provide
a short failure detection time, by default set to 1500 ms. Because
of this, the background load for neighbor monitoring in an N-node
cluster increases with a factor N on each node, while the overall
monitoring traffic through the network infrastructure increases at
a ~(N * (N - 1)) rate. Experience has shown that such clusters don't
scale well beyond ~100 nodes unless we significantly increase failure
discovery tolerance.
This commit introduces a framework and an algorithm that drastically
reduces this background load, while basically maintaining the original
failure detection times across the whole cluster. Using this algorithm,
background load will now grow at a rate of ~(2 * sqrt(N)) per node, and
at ~(2 * N * sqrt(N)) in traffic overhead. As an example, each node will
now have to actively monitor 38 neighbors in a 400-node cluster, instead
of as before 399.
This "Overlapping Ring Supervision Algorithm" is completely distributed
and employs no centralized or coordinated state. It goes as follows:
- Each node makes up a linearly ascending, circular list of all its N
known neighbors, based on their TIPC node identity. This algorithm
must be the same on all nodes.
- The node then selects the next M = sqrt(N) - 1 nodes downstream from
itself in the list, and chooses to actively monitor those. This is
called its "local monitoring domain".
- It creates a domain record describing the monitoring domain, and
piggy-backs this in the data area of all neighbor monitoring messages
(LINK_PROTOCOL/STATE) leaving that node. This means that all nodes in
the cluster eventually (default within 400 ms) will learn about
its monitoring domain.
- Whenever a node discovers a change in its local domain, e.g., a node
has been added or has gone down, it creates and sends out a new
version of its node record to inform all neighbors about the change.
- A node receiving a domain record from anybody outside its local domain
matches this against its own list (which may not look the same), and
chooses to not actively monitor those members of the received domain
record that are also present in its own list. Instead, it relies on
indications from the direct monitoring nodes if an indirectly
monitored node has gone up or down. If a node is indicated lost, the
receiving node temporarily activates its own direct monitoring towards
that node in order to confirm, or not, that it is actually gone.
- Since each node is actively monitoring sqrt(N) downstream neighbors,
each node is also actively monitored by the same number of upstream
neighbors. This means that all non-direct monitoring nodes normally
will receive sqrt(N) indications that a node is gone.
- A major drawback with ring monitoring is how it handles failures that
cause massive network partitionings. If both a lost node and all its
direct monitoring neighbors are inside the lost partition, the nodes in
the remaining partition will never receive indications about the loss.
To overcome this, each node also chooses to actively monitor some
nodes outside its local domain. Those nodes are called remote domain
"heads", and are selected in such a way that no node in the cluster
will be more than two direct monitoring hops away. Because of this,
each node, apart from monitoring the member of its local domain, will
also typically monitor sqrt(N) remote head nodes.
- As an optimization, local list status, domain status and domain
records are marked with a generation number. This saves senders from
unnecessarily conveying unaltered domain records, and receivers from
performing unneeded re-adaptations of their node monitoring list, such
as re-assigning domain heads.
- As a measure of caution we have added the possibility to disable the
new algorithm through configuration. We do this by keeping a threshold
value for the cluster size; a cluster that grows beyond this value
will switch from full-mesh to ring monitoring, and vice versa when
it shrinks below the value. This means that if the threshold is set to
a value larger than any anticipated cluster size (default size is 32)
the new algorithm is effectively disabled. A patch set for altering the
threshold value and for listing the table contents will follow shortly.
- This change is fully backwards compatible.

====================
skb_array: array based FIFO for skbs
This is in response to the proposal by Jason to make tun
rx packet queue lockless using a circular buffer.
My testing seems to show that at least for the common usecase
in networking, which isn't lockless, circular buffer
with indices does not perform that well, because
each index access causes a cache line to bounce between
CPUs, and index access causes stalls due to the dependency.
By comparison, an array of pointers where NULL means invalid
and !NULL means valid, can be updated without messing up barriers
at all and does not have this issue.
On the flip side, cache pressure may be caused by using large queues.
tun has a queue of 1000 entries by default and that's 8K.
At this point I'm not sure this can be solved efficiently.
The correct solution might be sizing the queues appropriately.
Here's an implementation of this idea: it can be used more
or less whenever sk_buff_head can be used, except you need
to know the queue size in advance.
As this might be useful outside of networking, I implemented
a generic array of void pointers, with a type-safe wrapper for skbs.
It remains to be seen whether resizing is required, in case it is
I included patches implementing resizing by holding both the
consumer and the producer locks.
I think this code works fine without any extra memory barriers since we
always read and write the same location, so the accesses can not be
reordered.
Multiple writes of the same value into memory would mess things up
for us, I don't think compilers would do it though.
But if people feel it's better to be safe wrt compiler optimizations,
specifying queue as volatile would probably do it in a cleaner way
than converting all accesses to READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE. Thoughts?
The only issue is with calls within a loop using the __ptr_ring_XXX
accessors - in theory compiler could hoist accesses out of the loop.
Following volatile-considered-harmful.txt I merely
documented that callers that busy-poll should invoke cpu_relax().
Most people will use the external skb_array_XXX APIs with a spinlock,
so this should not be an issue for them.
Eric Dumazet suggested adding an extra pointer to skb for when
we have a single outstanding packet. I could not figure out
a way to implement this without a shared consumer/producer lock
though, which would cause cache line bounces by itself.
Jesper, Jason, I know that both of you tested this,
please post Tested-by tags for whatever was tested.
changes since v7
fix typos noticed by Jesper Brouer
changes since v6
resize implemented. peek/full calls are no longer lockless
replaced _FIELD macros with _CALL which invoke a function
on the pointer rather than just returning a value
destroy now scans the array and frees all queued skbs
changes since v5
implemented a generic ptr_ring api, and
made skb_array a type-safe wrapper
apis for taking the spinlock in different contexts
following expected usecase in tun
changes since v4 (v3 was never posted)
documentation
dropped SKB_ARRAY_MIN_SIZE heuristic
unit test (in userspace, included as patch 2)
changes since v2:
fixed integer overflow pointed out by Eric.
added some comments.

This adds ring resize support. Seems to be necessary as
users such as tun allow userspace control over queue size.
If resize is used, this costs us ability to peek at queue without
consumer lock - should not be a big deal as peek and consumer are
usually run on the same CPU.
If ring is made bigger, ring contents is preserved. If ring is made
smaller, extra pointers are passed to an optional destructor callback.
Cleanup function also gains destructor callback such that
all pointers in queue can be cleaned up.
This changes some APIs but we don't have any users yet,
so it won't break bisect.

====================
net: vrf: Handle ipv6 multicast and link-local addresses
IPv6 multicast and link-local addresses require special handling by the
VRF driver. Rather than using the VRF device index and full FIB lookups,
packets to/from these addresses should use direct FIB lookups based on
the VRF device table.
Multicast routes do not make sense for the L3 master device directly.
Accordingly, do not add mcast routes for the device, and the VRF driver
should fail attempts to send packets to ipv6 mcast addresses on the
device (e.g, ping6 ff02::1%<vrf> should fail)
With this change connections into and out of a VRF enslaved device work
for multicast and link-local addresses (icmp, tcp, and udp). e.g.,
1. packets into VM with VRF config:
ping6 -c3 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974%br1
ping6 -c3 ff02::1%br1
ssh -6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974%br1
2. packets going out a VRF enslaved device:
ping6 -c3 fe80::18f8:83ff:fe4b:7a2e%eth1
ping6 -c3 ff02::1%eth1
ssh -6 root@fe80::18f8:83ff:fe4b:7a2e%eth1

support to IPv6 stack"). Linklocal/mcast addresses require use of the
skb->dev.

L3 master devices are virtual devices similar to the loopback
device. Link local and multicast routes for these devices do
not make sense. The ipv6 addrconf code already skips adding a
linklocal address; do the same for the mcast route.
