Introduce devlink infrastructure for drivers to register and expose to userspace via generic Netlink interface. There are two basic objects defined: devlink - one instance for every "parent device", for example switch ASIC devlink port - one instance for every physical port of the device. This initial portion implements basic get/dump of objects to userspace. Also, port splitter and port type setting is implemented.

John Fastabend says: ==================== tc software only This adds a software only flag to tc but incorporates a bunch of comments from the original attempt at this. First instead of having the offload decision logic be embedded in cls_u32 I lifted into cls_pkt.h so it can be used anywhere and named the flag TCA_CLS_FLAGS_SKIP_HW (Thanks Jiri ;) In order to do this I put the flag defines in pkt_cls.h as well. However it was suggested that perhaps these flags could be lifted into the upper layer of TCA_ as well but I'm afraid this can not be done with existing tc design as far as I can tell. The problem is the filters are packed and unpacked in the classifier specific code and pushing the flags through the high level doesn't seem easily doable. And we already have this design where classifiers handle generic options such as actions and policers. So I think adding one more thing here is OK as 'tc', et. al. already know how to handle this type of thing. ==================== Acked-by: NPravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

In the initial implementation the only way to stop a rule from being inserted into the hardware table was via the device feature flag. However this doesn't work well when working on an end host system where packets are expect to hit both the hardware and software datapaths. For example we can imagine a rule that will match an IP address and increment a field. If we install this rule in both hardware and software we may increment the field twice. To date we have only added support for the drop action so we have been able to ignore these cases. But as we extend the action support we will hit this example plus more such cases. Arguably these are not even corner cases in many working systems these cases will be common. To avoid forcing the driver to always abort (i.e. the above example) this patch adds a flag to add a rule in software only. A careful user can use this flag to build software and hardware datapaths that work together. One example we have found particularly useful is to use hardware resources to set the skb->mark on the skb when the match may be expensive to run in software but a mark lookup in a hash table is cheap. The idea here is hardware can do in one lookup what the u32 classifier may need to traverse multiple lists and hash tables to compute. The flag is only passed down on inserts. On deletion to avoid stale references in hardware we always try to remove a rule if it exists. The flags field is part of the classifier specific options. Although it is tempting to lift this into the generic structure doing this proves difficult do to how the tc netlink attributes are implemented along with how the dump/change routines are called. There is also precedence for putting seemingly generic pieces in the specific classifier options such as TCA_U32_POLICE, TCA_U32_ACT, etc. So although not ideal I've left FLAGS in the u32 options as well as it simplifies the code greatly and user space has already learned how to manage these bits ala 'tc' tool. Another thing if trying to update a rule we require the flags to be unchanged. This is to force user space, software u32 and the hardware u32 to keep in sync.

In the original series drivers would get offload requests for cls_u32 rules even if the feature bit is disabled. This meant the driver had to do a boiler plate check on the feature bit before adding/deleting the rule. This patch lifts the check into the core code and removes it from the driver specific case.

The offload decision was originally very basic and tied to if the dev implemented the appropriate ndo op hook. The next step is to allow the user to more flexibly define if any paticular rule should be offloaded or not. In order to have this logic in one function lift the current check into a helper routine tc_should_offload().

Paolo Abeni says: ==================== bridge/ovs: avoid skb head copy on frame forwarding Currently, while when an OVS or Linux bridge is used to forward frames towards some tunnel device, a skb_head_copy() may occur if the ingress device do not provide enough headroom for the tx encapsulation. This patch series tries to address the issue implementing a new ndo operation to allow the master device to control the headroom used when allocating the skb on frame reception. Said operation is used by the Linux bridge to notify the bridged ports of needed_headroom changes, and similar bookkeeping and behaviour is also added to openvswitch, on a per datapath basis. Finally, the operation is implemented for veth and tun device, which give performance improvement in the 6-12% range when forwarding frames from said devices towards a vxlan tunnel. v2: - fix netdev_get_fwd_headroom() behaviour - remove some code duplication with the netdev_set_rx_headroom() and netdev_reset_rx_headroom() helpers - handle headroom reset on [v]port removal/deletion - initialize tun align to the old default value v3: - fix a comment typo ==================== Acked-by: NPravin B Shelar <pshelar@ovn.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The rx headroom for veth dev is the peer device needed_headroom. Avoid ping-pong updates setting the private flag IFF_PHONY_HEADROOM. This avoids skb head reallocation when forwarding from a veth dev towards a device adding some kind of encapsulation. When transmitting frames below the MTU size towards a vxlan device, this gives about 10% performance speed-up when OVS is used to connect the veth and the vxlan device and a little more when using a plain Linux bridge.

ndo_set_rx_headroom controls the align value used by tun devices to allocate skbs on frame reception. When the xmit device adds a large encapsulation, this avoids an skb head reallocation on forwarding. The measured improvement when forwarding towards a vxlan dev with frame size below the egress device MTU is as follow: vxlan over ipv6, bridged: +6% vxlan over ipv6, ovs: +7% In case of ipv4 tunnels there is no improvement, since the tun device default alignment provides enough headroom to avoid the skb head reallocation.

Before this patch, we used a hardcoded value of 500 msec as the default value for firmware message response timeout. For better portability with future hardware or debug platforms, use the value provided by firmware in the first response and store it for all susequent messages. Redefine the macro HWRM_CMD_TIMEOUT to the stored value. Since we don't have the value yet in the first message, use the 500 ms default if the stored value is zero.

Allow the VF to setup its own MAC address if the PF has not administratively set it for the VF. To do that, we should always store the MAC address from the firmware. There are 2 cases: 1. The MAC address is valid. This MAC address is assigned by the PF and it needs to override the current VF MAC address. 2. The MAC address is zero. The VF will use a random MAC address by default. By storing this 0 MAC address in the VF structure, it will allow the VF user to change the MAC address later using ndo_set_mac_address() when it sees that the stored MAC address is 0. v2: Expanded descriptions and added more comments.
