RGMII requires a delay of 2ns between the data and the clock signal.
There are at least three ways this can happen. One possibility is by
having the PHY generate this delay.
This is a common source for problems (for example with slow TX speeds or
packet loss when sending data). The TX delay configuration of the
RTL8211F PHY can be set either by pin-strappping the RXD1 pin (HIGH
means enabled, LOW means disabled) or through configuring a paged
register. The setting from the RXD1 pin is also reflected in the
register.

Add debug logging to the TX delay configuration on RTL8211F so it's
easier to spot these issues (for example if the TX delay is enabled for
both, the RTL8211F PHY and the MAC).
This is especially helpful because there is no public datasheet for the
RTL8211F PHY available with all the RX/TX delay specifics.

Host routes that perform decapsulation of IP in IP tunnels have a

The original patch bringed in the "SCTP ACK tracking trace event"
feature was committed at Dec.20, 2017, it replaced jprobe usage
with trace events, and bringed in two trace events, one is
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), another one is TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe_path).
The original patch intended to trigger the trace_sctp_probe_path in
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) as below code,

+TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe,
+
+	TP_PROTO(const struct sctp_endpoint *ep,
+		 const struct sctp_association *asoc,
+		 struct sctp_chunk *chunk),
+
+	TP_ARGS(ep, asoc, chunk),
+
+	TP_STRUCT__entry(
+		__field(__u64, asoc)
+		__field(__u32, mark)
+		__field(__u16, bind_port)
+		__field(__u16, peer_port)
+		__field(__u32, pathmtu)
+		__field(__u32, rwnd)
+		__field(__u16, unack_data)
+	),
+
+	TP_fast_assign(
+		struct sk_buff *skb = chunk->skb;
+
+		__entry->asoc = (unsigned long)asoc;
+		__entry->mark = skb->mark;
+		__entry->bind_port = ep->base.bind_addr.port;
+		__entry->peer_port = asoc->peer.port;
+		__entry->pathmtu = asoc->pathmtu;
+		__entry->rwnd = asoc->peer.rwnd;
+		__entry->unack_data = asoc->unack_data;
+
+		if (trace_sctp_probe_path_enabled()) {
+			struct sctp_transport *sp;
+
+			list_for_each_entry(sp, &asoc->peer.transport_addr_list,
+					    transports) {
+				trace_sctp_probe_path(sp, asoc);
+			}
+		}
+	),

But I found it did not work when I did testing, and trace_sctp_probe_path
had no output, I finally found that there is trace buffer lock
operation(trace_event_buffer_reserve) in include/trace/trace_events.h:

static notrace void							\
trace_event_raw_event_##call(void *__data, proto)			\
{									\
	struct trace_event_file *trace_file = __data;			\
	struct trace_event_data_offsets_##call __maybe_unused __data_offsets;\
	struct trace_event_buffer fbuffer;				\
	struct trace_event_raw_##call *entry;				\
	int __data_size;						\
									\
	if (trace_trigger_soft_disabled(trace_file))			\
		return;							\
									\
	__data_size = trace_event_get_offsets_##call(&__data_offsets, args); \
									\
	entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&fbuffer, trace_file,	\
				 sizeof(*entry) + __data_size);		\
									\
	if (!entry)							\
		return;							\
									\
	tstruct								\
									\
	{ assign; }							\
									\
	trace_event_buffer_commit(&fbuffer);				\
}

The reason caused no output of trace_sctp_probe_path is that
trace_sctp_probe_path written in TP_fast_assign part of
TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe), and it will be placed( { assign; } ) after the
trace_event_buffer_reserve() when compiler expands Macro,

        entry = trace_event_buffer_reserve(&fbuffer, trace_file,        \
                                 sizeof(*entry) + __data_size);         \
                                                                        \
        if (!entry)                                                     \
                return;                                                 \
                                                                        \
        tstruct                                                         \
                                                                        \
        { assign; }                                                     \

so trace_sctp_probe_path finally can not acquire trace_event_buffer
and return no output, that is to say the nest of tracepoint entry function
is not allowed. The function call flow is:

trace_sctp_probe()
-> trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe()
 -> lock buffer
 -> trace_sctp_probe_path()
   -> trace_event_raw_event_sctp_probe_path()  --nested
   -> buffer has been locked and return no output.

This patch is to remove trace_sctp_probe_path from the TP_fast_assign
part of TRACE_EVENT(sctp_probe) to avoid the nest of entry function,
and trigger sctp_probe_path_trace in sctp_outq_sack.

After this patch, you can enable both events individually,
  # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
  # echo 1 > events/sctp/sctp_probe/enable
  # echo 1 > events/sctp/sctp_probe_path/enable

Or, you can enable all the events under sctp.

====================
Peer to Peer One-Step time stamping

This series adds support for PTP (IEEE 1588) P2P one-step time
stamping along with a driver for a hardware device that supports this.

If the hardware supports p2p one-step, it subtracts the ingress time
stamp value from the Pdelay_Request correction field.  The user space
software stack then simply copies the correction field into the
Pdelay_Response, and on transmission the hardware adds the egress time
stamp into the correction field.

This new functionality extends CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING to
cover MII snooping devices, but it still depends on phylib, just as
that option does.  Expanding beyond phylib is not within the scope of
the this series.

User space support is available in the current linuxptp master branch.

- Patch 1 adds phy_device methods for existing time stamping fields.
- Patches 2-5 convert the stack and drivers to the new methods.
- Patch 6 moves code around the dp83640 driver.
- Patches 7-10 add support for MII time stamping in non-PHY devices.
- Patch 11 adds the new P2P 1-step option.
- Patch 12 adds a driver implementing the new option.

====================
Simplify IPv6 route offload API

Motivation
==========

This is the IPv6 counterpart of "Simplify IPv4 route offload API" [1].
The aim of this patch set is to simplify the IPv6 route offload API by
making the stack a bit smarter about the notifications it is generating.
This allows driver authors to focus on programming the underlying device
instead of having to duplicate the IPv6 route insertion logic in their
driver, which is error-prone.

Details
=======

Today, whenever an IPv6 route is added or deleted a notification is sent
in the FIB notification chain and it is up to offload drivers to decide
if the route should be programmed to the hardware or not. This is not an
easy task as in hardware routes are keyed by {prefix, prefix length,
table id}, whereas the kernel can store multiple such routes that only
differ in metric / nexthop info.

This series makes sure that only routes that are actually used in the
data path are notified to offload drivers. This greatly simplifies the
work these drivers need to do, as they are now only concerned with
programming the hardware and do not need to replicate the IPv6 route
insertion logic and store multiple identical routes.

The route that is notified is the first route in the IPv6 FIB node,
which represents a single prefix and length in a given table. In case
the route is deleted and there is another route with the same key, a
replace notification is emitted. Otherwise, a delete notification is
emitted.

Unlike IPv4, in IPv6 it is possible to append individual nexthops to an
existing multipath route. Therefore, in addition to the replace and
delete notifications present in IPv4, an append notification is also
used.

Testing
=======

To ensure there is no degradation in route insertion rates, I averaged
the insertion rate of 512k routes (/64 and /128) over 50 runs. Did not
observe any degradation.

Functional tests are available here [2]. They rely on route trap
indication, which is added in a subsequent patch set.

In addition, I have been running syzkaller for the past couple of weeks
with debug options enabled. Did not observe any problems.

When a new listener is registered to the FIB notification chain it
receives a dump of all the available routes in the system. Instead, make
sure to only replay the IPv6 routes that are actually used in the data
path and are of any interest to the new listener.

This is done by iterating over all the routing tables in the given
namespace, but from each traversed node only the first route ('leaf') is
notified. Multipath routes are notified in a single notification instead
of one for each nexthop.

Add fib6_rt_dump_tmp() to do that. Later on in the patch set it will be

The first criterion can be tested by checking if the route is pointed to

packet or at the start of the l3 header depending on the value of l3 tunnel
flag in the ADD_MPLS arguments.

POP_MPLS action is extended to support ethertype 0x6558

OVS userspace changes -
---------------------
Encap & Decap ovs actions are extended to support MPLS packet type. The encap & decap
adds and removes MPLS header at the start of packet as depicted below.

Actions - encap(mpls(ether_type=0x8847)),encap(ethernet)

Incoming packet -> | ETH | IP | Payload |

1 Actions -  encap(mpls(ether_type=0x8847)) [Kernel action - add_mpls:0x8847]

        Outgoing packet -> | MPLS | ETH | Payload|

2 Actions - encap(ethernet) [ Kernel action - push_eth ]

        Outgoing packet -> | ETH | MPLS | ETH | Payload|

Decapsulation:

Incoming packet -> | ETH | MPLS | ETH | IP | Payload |

Actions - decap(),decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0)

1 Actions -  decap() [Kernel action - pop_eth)

        Outgoing packet -> | MPLS | ETH | IP | Payload|

2 Actions - decap(packet_type(ns=0,type=0) [Kernel action - pop_mpls:0x6558]

        Outgoing packet -> | ETH  | IP | Payload

The existing PUSH MPLS action inserts MPLS header between ethernet header
and the IP header. Though this behaviour is fine for L3 VPN where an IP
packet is encapsulated inside a MPLS tunnel, it does not suffice the L2
VPN (l2 tunnelling) requirements. In L2 VPN the MPLS header should
encapsulate the ethernet packet.

The new mpls action ADD_MPLS inserts MPLS header at the start of the
packet or at the start of the l3 header depending on the value of l3 tunnel
flag in the ADD_MPLS arguments.

POP_MPLS action is extended to support ethertype 0x6558.

The existing skb_mpls_push() implementation always inserts mpls header
after the mac header. L2 VPN use cases requires MPLS header to be
inserted before the ethernet header as the ethernet packet gets tunnelled
inside MPLS header in those cases.
