Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2019-06-28
This series contains a smorgasbord of updates to many of the Intel
drivers.
Gustavo A. R. Silva updates the ice and iavf drivers to use the
strcut_size() helper where possible.
Miguel increases the pause and refresh time for flow control in the
e1000e driver during reset for certain devices.
Dann Frazier fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe driver
when using non-IPSec enabled devices.
Colin Ian King fixes a potential overflow during a shift in the ixgbe
driver. Also fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference in the iavf
driver by adding a check.
Venkatesh Srinivas converts the e1000 driver to use dma_wmb() instead of
wmb() for doorbell writes to avoid SFENCEs in the transmit and receive
paths.
Arjan updates the e1000e driver to improve boot time by over 100 msec by
reducing the usleep ranges suring system startup.
Artem updates the igb driver register dump in ethtool, first prepares
the register dump for future additions of registers in the dump, then
secondly, adds the RR2DCDELAY register to the dump. When dealing with
time-sensitive networks, this register is helpful in determining your
latency from the device to the ring.
Alex fixes the ixgbevf driver to use the current cached link state,
rather than trying to re-check the value from the PF.
Harshitha adds support for MACVLAN offloads in i40e by using channels as
MACVLAN interfaces.
Detlev Casanova updates the e1000e driver to use delayed work instead of
timers to run the watchdog.
Vitaly fixes an issue in e1000e, where when disconnecting and
reconnecting the physical cable connection, the NIC enters a DMoff
state. This state causes a mismatch in link and duplexing, so check the
PCIm function state and perform a PHY reset when in this state to
resolve the issue.

em_ipt: add support for addrtype
We would like to be able to use the addrtype from tc for ACL rules and
em_ipt seems the best place to add support for the already existing xt
match. The biggest issue is that addrtype revision 1 (with ipv6 support)
is NFPROTO_UNSPEC and currently em_ipt can't differentiate between v4/v6
if such xt match is used because it passes the match's family instead of
the packet one. The first 3 patches make em_ipt match only on IP
traffic (currently both policy and addrtype recognize such traffic
only) and make it pass the actual packet's protocol instead of the xt
match family when it's unspecified. They also add support for NFPROTO_UNSPEC
xt matches. The last patch allows to add addrtype rules via em_ipt.
We need to keep the user-specified nfproto for dumping in order to be
compatible with libxtables, we cannot dump NFPROTO_UNSPEC as the nfproto
or we'll get an error from libxtables, thus the nfproto is limited to
ipv4/ipv6 in patch 03 and is recorded.
v3: don't use the user nfproto for matching, only for dumping, more
information is available in the commit message in patch 03
v2: change patch 02 to set the nfproto only when unspecified and drop
patch 04 from v1 (Eyal Birger)

don't record it then the match family is used which can be
NFPROTO_UNSPEC. Even if we add support to mask NFPROTO_UNSPEC in
iproute2 we have to be compatible with older versions which would be
also be allowed to add NFPROTO_UNSPEC matches (e.g. addrtype after the

Refreshing TIRs is done in order to update the TIRs with the current
state of SQs in the transport domain, so that the TIRs can filter out
undesired self-loopback packets based on the source SQ of the packet.
Representor TIRs will only receive packets that originate from their
associated vport, due to dedicated steering, and therefore will never
receive self-loopback packets, whose source vport will be the vport of
the E-Switch manager, and therefore not the vport associated with the
representor. As such, it is not necessary to refresh the representors'
TIRs, since self-loopback packets can't reach them.
Since representors only exist in switchdev mode, and there is no
scenario in which a representor will exist in the transport domain
alongside a non-representor, it is not necessary to refresh the
transport domain's TIRs upon changing the state of a representor's
queues. Therefore, do not refresh TIRs upon such a change. Achieve
this by adding an update_rx callback to the mlx5e_profile, which
refreshes TIRs for non-representors and does nothing for representors,
and replace instances of mlx5e_refresh_tirs() upon changing the state
of the queues with update_rx().

This patch changes the way the driver advertises its checksum offload
capabilities within the net device features bit mask.
Instead of advertising protocol specific checksumming capabilities
which are limited today to IPv4 and IPv6, we move to reporing
generic HW checksumming capabilities.
This will allow the network stack to let mlx5 device offload checksum
for cases where the IP header is encapsulated within another protocol
and the skb->protocol doesn't indicate one of the IP versions protocol,
specifically in the case of MPLS label encapsulating the IP header and
the skb->protocol indiciates MPLS ethertype rather than IP.
Moving the HW_CSUM reporting is required in the basic net device hw
features mask and also in the extensions (vlan and encpasulation
features) since the extensions are always multiplied by the basic
features set during the packet's traversal through the stack's tx flow.

This patch enables macvlan offloads for i40e. The idea is to use
channels as macvlan interfaces. The channels are VSIs of
type VMDQ. When the first macvlan is created, the maximum number of
channels possible are created. From then on, as a macvlan interface
is created, a macvlan filter is added to these already created
channels (VSIs).
This patch utilizes subordinate device traffic classes to make queue
groups(channels) available for an upper device like a macvlan.
Steps to configure macvlan offloads:
1. ethtool -K ethx l2-fwd-offload on
2. ip link add link ethx name macvlan1 type macvlan
3. ip addr add <address> dev macvlan1
4. ip link set macvlan1 up

This patch adds the RR2DCDELAY register to the ethtool registers dump.
RR2DCDELAY exists on I210 and I211 Intel Gigabit Ethernet chips and it stands
for "Read Request To Data Completion Delay". Here is how this register is
described in the I210 datasheet:
"This field captures the maximum PCIe split time in 16 ns units, which is the
maximum delay between the read request to the first data completion. This is
giving an estimation of the PCIe round trip time."
In other words, whenever I210 reads from the host memory (e.g., fetches a
descriptor from the ring), the chip measures every PCI DMA read transaction and
captures the maximum value. So it ends up containing the longest DMA
transaction time.
This register is very useful for troubleshooting and research purposes. If you
are dealing with time-sensitive networks, this register can help you get
an idea of your "I210-to-ring" latency. This helps answering questions like
"should I have PCIe ASPM enabled?" or "should I enable deep C-states?" on
my system.
It is safe to read this register at any point, reading it has no effect on
the I210 chip functionality.

The e1000e driver is a great user of the usleep_range() API,
and has nice ranges that in principle help power management.
However the ranges that are used only during system startup are
very long (and can add easily 100 msec to the boot time) while
the power savings of such long ranges is irrelevant due to the
one-off, boot only, nature of these functions.
This patch shrinks some of the longest ranges to be shorter

size = sizeof(struct foo) + count * sizeof(struct boo);

- Simplify implementation for taprio flags.
- txtime_delay can only be set if txtime-assist mode is enabled.
- txtime_delay and flags will only be visible in tc output if set by user.
- Minor changes in error reporting.
Changes in v2:
- Txtime-offload has now been renamed to txtime-assist mode.
- Renamed the offload parameter to flags.
- Removed the code which introduced the hardware offloading functionality.
Original Cover letter (with above changes included)
--------------------------------------------------
Currently, we are seeing packets being transmitted outside their
timeslices. We can confirm that the packets are being dequeued at the right
time. So, the delay is induced after the packet is dequeued, because
taprio, without any offloading, has no control of when a packet is actually
transmitted.
In order to solve this, we are making use of the txtime feature provided by
ETF qdisc. Hardware offloading needs to be supported by the ETF qdisc in
order to take advantage of this feature. The taprio qdisc will assign
txtime (in skb->tstamp) for all the packets which do not have the txtime
allocated via the SO_TXTIME socket option. For the packets which already
have SO_TXTIME set, taprio will validate whether the packet will be
transmitted in the correct interval.
In order to support this, the following parameters have been added:
- flags (taprio): This is added in order to support different offloading
modes which will be added in the future.
- txtime-delay (taprio): This indicates the minimum time it will take for
the packet to hit the wire after it reaches taprio_enqueue(). This is
useful in determining whether we can transmit the packet in the remaining
time if the gate corresponding to the packet is currently open.
- skip_skb_check (ETF): ETF currently drops any packet which does not have
the SO_TXTIME socket option set. This check can be skipped by specifying
this option.
Following is an example configuration:
tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent root handle 100 taprio \\
num_tc 3 \\
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \\
queues 1@0 1@0 1@0 \\

Here, the "flags" parameter is indicating that the txtime-assist mode is
enabled. Also, all the traffic classes have been assigned the same queue.
This is to prevent the traffic classes in the lower priority queues from
getting starved. Note that this configuration is specific to the i210
ethernet card. Other network cards where the hardware queues are given the
same priority, might be able to utilize more than one queue.
Following are some of the other highlights of the series:
- Fix a bug where hardware timestamping and SO_TXTIME options cannot be
used together. (Patch 1)
- Introduces the skip_skb_check option. (Patch 2)
- Make TxTime assist mode work with TCP packets (Patch 7).
The following changes are recommended to be done in order to get the best
performance from taprio in this mode:
ip link set dev enp1s0 mtu 1514
ethtool -K eth0 gso off
ethtool -K eth0 tso off
ethtool --set-eee eth0 eee off

When the taprio qdisc is running in "txtime offload" mode, it will
set the launchtime value (in skb->tstamp) for all the packets which do
not have the SO_TXTIME socket option. But, the TCP packets already have
this value set and it indicates the earliest departure time represented
in CLOCK_MONOTONIC clock.
We need to respect the timestamp set by the TCP subsystem. So, convert
this time to the clock which taprio is using and ensure that the packet
is not transmitted before the deadline set by TCP.

Currently, we are seeing non-critical packets being transmitted outside of
their timeslice. We can confirm that the packets are being dequeued at the
right time. So, the delay is induced in the hardware side. The most likely
reason is the hardware queues are starving the lower priority queues.
In order to improve the performance of taprio, we will be making use of the
txtime feature provided by the ETF qdisc. For all the packets which do not
have the SO_TXTIME option set, taprio will set the transmit timestamp (set
in skb->tstamp) in this mode. TAPrio Qdisc will ensure that the transmit
time for the packet is set to when the gate is open. If SO_TXTIME is set,
the TAPrio qdisc will validate whether the timestamp (in skb->tstamp)
occurs when the gate corresponding to skb's traffic class is open.
Following two parameters added to support this mode:
- flags: used to enable txtime-assist mode. Will also be used to enable
other modes (like hardware offloading) later.
- txtime-delay: This indicates the minimum time it will take for the packet
to hit the wire. This is useful in determining whether we can transmit
the packet in the remaining time if the gate corresponding to the packet is
currently open.
An example configuration for enabling txtime-assist:
tc qdisc replace dev eth0 parent root handle 100 taprio \\
num_tc 3 \\
map 2 2 1 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 \\
queues 1@0 1@0 1@0 \\
base-time 1558653424279842568 \\
sched-entry S 01 300000 \\
sched-entry S 02 300000 \\
sched-entry S 04 400000 \\
flags 0x1 \\
txtime-delay 40000 \\
clockid CLOCK_TAI
tc qdisc replace dev $IFACE parent 100:1 etf skip_sock_check \\
offload delta 200000 clockid CLOCK_TAI
Note that all the traffic classes are mapped to the same queue. This is
only possible in taprio when txtime-assist is enabled. Also, note that the
ETF Qdisc is enabled with offload mode set.
In this mode, if the packet's traffic class is open and the complete packet
can be transmitted, taprio will try to transmit the packet immediately.
This will be done by setting skb->tstamp to current_time + the time delta
indicated in the txtime-delay parameter. This parameter indicates the time
taken (in software) for packet to reach the network adapter.
If the packet cannot be transmitted in the current interval or if the
packet's traffic is not currently transmitting, the skb->tstamp is set to
the next available timestamp value. This is tracked in the next_launchtime
parameter in the struct sched_entry.
The behaviour w.r.t admin and oper schedules is not changed from what is
present in software mode.
The transmit time is already known in advance. So, we do not need the HR
timers to advance the schedule and wakeup the dequeue side of taprio. So,
HR timer won't be run when this mode is enabled.

cycle time for a particular schedule is calculated only when it is first
installed. So, it makes sense to just calculate it once right after the
'cycle_time' parameter has been parsed and store it in cycle_time.

Currently, etf expects a socket with SO_TXTIME option set for each packet
it encounters. So, it will drop all other packets. But, in the future
commits we are planning to add functionality where tstamp value will be set
by another qdisc. Also, some packets which are generated from within the
kernel (e.g. ICMP packets) do not have any socket associated with them.
So, this commit adds support for skip_sock_check. When this option is set,
etf will skip checking for a socket and other associated options for all
skbs.

If a packet which is utilizing the launchtime feature (via SO_TXTIME socket
option) also requests the hardware transmit timestamp, the hardware
timestamp is not delivered to the userspace. This is because the value in
skb->tstamp is mistaken as the software timestamp.
Applications, like ptp4l, request a hardware timestamp by setting the
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE socket option. Whenever a new timestamp is
detected by the driver (this work is done in igb_ptp_tx_work() which calls
igb_ptp_tx_hwtstamps() in igb_ptp.c[1]), it will queue the timestamp in the
ERR_QUEUE for the userspace to read. When the userspace is ready, it will
issue a recvmsg() call to collect this timestamp. The problem is in this
recvmsg() call. If the skb->tstamp is not cleared out, it will be
interpreted as a software timestamp and the hardware tx timestamp will not
be successfully sent to the userspace. Look at skb_is_swtx_tstamp() and the
callee function __sock_recv_timestamp() in net/socket.c for more details.

John Hurley says:
====================
Track recursive calls in TC act_mirred
These patches aim to prevent act_mirred causing stack overflow events from
recursively calling packet xmit or receive functions. Such events can
occur with poor TC configuration that causes packets to travel in loops
within the system.
Florian Westphal advises that a recursion crash and packets looping are
separate issues and should be treated as such. David Miller futher points
out that pcpu counters cannot track the precise skb context required to
detect loops. Hence these patches are not aimed at detecting packet loops,
rather, preventing stack flows arising from such loops.
