mlxsw: Various trap changes - part 2

This patch set contains another set of small changes in mlxsw trap
configuration. It is the last set before exposing control traps (e.g.,
IGMP query, ARP request) via devlink-trap.

Tested with existing devlink-trap selftests. Please see individual
patches for a detailed changelog.

The device has a trap for IPv6 packets that need be routed and have a
unicast link-local destination IP (i.e., fe80::/10). This allows mlxsw
to ignore link-local routes, as the packets will be trapped to the CPU
in any case.

However, since link-local routes are not programmed, it is possible for
routed packets to hit the default route which might also be programmed
to trap packets. This means that packets with a link-local destination
IP might be trapped for the wrong reason.

To overcome this, allow programming link-local prefix routes (usually
one fe80::/64 per-table), so that the packets will be forwarded until
reaching the link-local trap.

Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) provides "low-overhead,
short-duration detection of failures in the path between adjacent
forwarding engines" (RFC 5880).

This is accomplished by exchanging BFD packets between the two
forwarding engines. Up until now these packets were trapped via the
general local delivery (i.e., IP2ME) trap which also traps a lot of
other packets that are not as time-sensitive as BFD packets.

Expose dedicated traps for BFD packets so that user space could
configure a dedicated policer for them.

IPv6 packets that need to be forwarded and have a link-local source IP are
dropped by the kernel and an ICMPv6 "Destination unreachable" is sent to
the sending host.

As such, change the trap group of such packets so that they do not

As explained in commit e6125230 ("mlxsw: spectrum_trap: Introduce
dummy group with thin policer"), the purpose of the "thin" policer is to
pass as less packets as possible to the CPU.

The identifier of this policer is currently set according to the maximum
number of used trap groups, but this is fragile: On Spectrum-1 the
maximum number of policers is less than the maximum number of trap
groups, which might result in an invalid policer identifier in case the
number of used trap groups grows beyond the policer limit.

Solve this by dynamically allocating the policer identifier.

When a packet enters the device it is classified to a filtering
identifier (FID) based on the ingress port and VLAN. The FID miss trap
is used to trap packets for which a FID could not be found.

In mlxsw this trap should only be triggered when a port is enslaved to
an OVS bridge and a matching ACL rule could not be found, so as to
trigger learning.

These packets are therefore completely unrelated to packets hitting
local routes and should be in a different group. Move them.

Split the ACL trap to a separate group with its own policer. Use a
higher priority for these traps than for traps using mirror action
(e.g., ARP, IGMP). Otherwise, packets matching both traps will not be
forwarded in hardware (because of trap action) and also not forwarded in

net: ethernet: fec: move GPR register offset and bit into DT

The commit da722186 (net: fec: set GPR bit on suspend by
DT configuration) set the GPR reigster offset and bit in driver
for wol feature support.

It brings trouble to enable wol feature on imx6sx/imx6ul/imx7d
platforms that have multiple ethernet instances with different
GPR bit for stop mode control. So the patch set is to move GPR
register offset and bit define into DT, and enable imx6q/imx6dl
imx6qp/imx6sx/imx6ul/imx7d stop mode support.

Currently, below NXP i.MX boards support wol:
- imx6q/imx6dl/imx6qp sabresd
- imx6sx sabreauto
- imx7d sdb

imx6q/imx6dl/imx6qp sabresd board dts file miss the property
"fsl,magic-packet;", so patch#4 is to add the property for stop
mode support.

v1 -> v2:
 - driver: switch back to store the quirks bitmask in driver_data
 - dt-bindings: rename 'gpr' property string to 'fsl,stop-mode'
 - imx6/7 dtsi: add imx6sx/imx6ul/imx7d ethernet stop mode property
v2 -> v3:
 - driver: suggested by Sascha Hauer, use a struct fec_devinfo for
   abstracting differences between different hardware variants,
   it can give more freedom to describe the differences.
 - imx6/7 dtsi: correct one typo pointed out by Andrew.

The commit da722186 (net: fec: set GPR bit on suspend by DT

wake on lan feature.

But it introduces two issues here:
- one SOC has two instances, they have different bit
- different SOCs may have different offset and bit

So to support wake-on-lan feature on other i.MX platforms, it should
configure the GPR reigster offset and bit from DT.

So the patch is to improve the commit da722186 (net: fec: set GPR
bit on suspend by DT configuration) to support multiple ethernet
instances on i.MX series.

 * switch back to store the quirks bitmask in driver_data
v3:
 * suggested by Sascha Hauer, use a struct fec_devinfo for

net: phy: mscc-miim: reduce waiting time between MDIO transactions

This series aims at reducing the waiting time between MDIO transactions
when using the MSCC MIIM MDIO controller.

I'm not sure we need patch 4/4 and we could reasonably drop it from the
series. I'm including the patch as it could help to ensure the system
is functional with a non optimal configuration.

We needed to improve the driver's performances as when using a PHY
requiring lots of registers accesses (such as the VSC85xx family),
delays would add up and ended up to be quite large which would cause
issues such as: a slow initialization of the PHY, and issues when using
timestamping operations (this feature will be sent quite soon to the
mailing lists).
====================

The driver uses a read polling mechanism to check the status of the MDIO
bus, to know if it is ready to accept next commands. This polling
mechanism uses usleep_delay() under the hood between reads which is fine
as long as high resolution timers are enabled. Otherwise the delays will
end up to be much longer than expected.

This patch fixes this by using udelay() under the hood when
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS isn't enabled. This increases CPU usage.

The MSCC MIIM MDIO driver uses a waiting logic to wait for the MDIO bus
to be ready to accept next commands. It does so by polling the BUSY
status bit which indicates the MDIO bus has completed all pending
operations. This can take time, and the controller supports writing the
next command as soon as there are no pending commands (which happens
while the MDIO bus is busy completing its current command).

This patch implements this improved logic by adding an helper to poll
the PENDING status bit, and by adjusting where we should wait for the
bus to not be busy or to not be pending.

flow_dissector, cls_flower: Add support for multiple MPLS Label Stack Entries

Currently, the flow dissector and the Flower classifier can only handle
the first entry of an MPLS label stack. This patch series generalises
the code to allow parsing and matching the Label Stack Entries that
follow.

Patch 1 extends the flow dissector to parse MPLS LSEs until the Bottom
Of Stack bit is reached. The number of parsed LSEs is capped at
FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX (arbitrarily set to 7). Flower and the NFP driver
are updated to take into account the new layout of struct
flow_dissector_key_mpls.

Patch 2 extends Flower. It defines new netlink attributes, which are
independent from the previous MPLS ones. Mixing the old and the new
attributes in a same filter is not allowed. For backward compatibility,
the old attributes are used when dumping filters that don't require the
new ones.

Changes since v2:
  * Fix compilation with the new MLX5 bareudp tunnel code.

Changes since v1:
  * Fix compilation of NFP driver (kbuild test robot).
  * Fix sparse warning with entropy label (kbuild test robot).
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

With struct flow_dissector_key_mpls now recording the first
FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX labels, we can extend Flower to filter on any of
these LSEs independently.

In order to avoid creating new netlink attributes for every possible
depth, let's define a new TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS nested attribute
that contains the list of LSEs to match. Each LSE is represented by
another attribute, TCA_FLOWER_KEY_MPLS_OPTS_LSE, which then contains
the attributes representing the depth and the MPLS fields to match at
this depth (label, TTL, etc.).

For each MPLS field, the mask is always set to all-ones, as this is
what the original API did. We could allow user configurable masks in
the future if there is demand for more flexibility.

The new API also allows to only specify an LSE depth. In that case,
Flower only verifies that the MPLS label stack depth is greater or
equal to the provided depth (that is, an LSE exists at this depth).

Filters that only match on one (or more) fields of the first LSE are
dumped using the old netlink attributes, to avoid confusing user space
programs that don't understand the new API.

The current MPLS dissector only parses the first MPLS Label Stack
Entry (second LSE can be parsed too, but only to set a key_id).

This patch adds the possibility to parse several LSEs by making
__skb_flow_dissect_mpls() return FLOW_DISSECT_RET_PROTO_AGAIN as long
as the Bottom Of Stack bit hasn't been seen, up to a maximum of
FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX entries.

FLOW_DIS_MPLS_MAX is arbitrarily set to 7. This should be enough for
many practical purposes, without wasting too much space.

To record the parsed values, flow_dissector_key_mpls is modified to
store an array of stack entries, instead of just the values of the
first one. A bit field, "used_lses", is also added to keep track of
the LSEs that have been set. The objective is to avoid defining a
new FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_MPLS_XX for each level of the MPLS stack.

TC flower is adapted for the new struct flow_dissector_key_mpls layout.
Matching on several MPLS Label Stack Entries will be added in the next
patch.

The NFP and MLX5 drivers are also adapted: nfp_flower_compile_mac() and
mlx5's parse_tunnel() now verify that the rule only uses the first LSE
and fail if it doesn't.

Finally, the behaviour of the FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_MPLS_ENTROPY key is
slightly modified. Instead of recording the first Entropy Label, it
now records the last one. This shouldn't have any consequences since
there doesn't seem to have any user of FLOW_DISSECTOR_KEY_MPLS_ENTROPY
in the tree. We'd probably better do a hash of all parsed MPLS labels
instead (excluding reserved labels) anyway. That'd give better entropy
and would probably also simplify the code. But that's not the purpose
of this patch, so I'm keeping that as a future possible improvement.

tipc: add some improvements

This series adds some improvements to TIPC.

The first patch improves the TIPC broadcast's performance with the 'Gap
ACK blocks' mechanism similar to unicast before, while the others give
support on tracing & statistics for broadcast links, and an alternative
to carry broadcast retransmissions via unicast which might be useful in
some cases.

Besides, the Nagle algorithm can now automatically 'adjust' itself
depending on the specific network condition a stream connection runs by
the last patch.
====================
Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When streaming in Nagle mode, we try to bundle small messages from user
as many as possible if there is one outstanding buffer, i.e. not ACK-ed
by the receiving side, which helps boost up the overall throughput. So,
the algorithm's effectiveness really depends on when Nagle ACK comes or
what the specific network latency (RTT) is, compared to the user's
message sending rate.

In a bad case, the user's sending rate is low or the network latency is
small, there will not be many bundles, so making a Nagle ACK or waiting
for it is not meaningful.
For example: a user sends its messages every 100ms and the RTT is 50ms,
then for each messages, we require one Nagle ACK but then there is only
one user message sent without any bundles.

In a better case, even if we have a few bundles (e.g. the RTT = 300ms),
but now the user sends messages in medium size, then there will not be
any difference at all, that says 3 x 1000-byte data messages if bundled
will still result in 3 bundles with MTU = 1500.

When Nagle is ineffective, the delay in user message sending is clearly
wasted instead of sending directly.

Besides, adding Nagle ACKs will consume some processor load on both the
sending and receiving sides.

This commit adds a test on the effectiveness of the Nagle algorithm for
an individual connection in the network on which it actually runs.
Particularly, upon receipt of a Nagle ACK we will compare the number of
bundles in the backlog queue to the number of user messages which would
be sent directly without Nagle. If the ratio is good (e.g. >= 2), Nagle
mode will be kept for further message sending. Otherwise, we will leave
Nagle and put a 'penalty' on the connection, so it will have to spend
more 'one-way' messages before being able to re-enter Nagle.

In addition, the 'ack-required' bit is only set when really needed that
the number of Nagle ACKs will be reduced during Nagle mode.

Testing with benchmark showed that with the patch, there was not much
difference in throughput for small messages since the tool continuously
sends messages without a break, so Nagle would still take in effect.

This commit enables dumping the statistics of a broadcast-receiver link
like the traditional 'broadcast-link' one (which is for broadcast-
sender). The link dumping can be triggered via netlink (e.g. the
iproute2/tipc tool) by the link flag - 'TIPC_NLA_LINK_BROADCAST' as the
indicator.

The name of a broadcast-receiver link of a specific peer will be in the
format: 'broadcast-link:<peer-id>'.

For example:

Link <broadcast-link:1001002>
  Window:50 packets
  RX packets:7841 fragments:2408/440 bundles:0/0
  TX packets:0 fragments:0/0 bundles:0/0
  RX naks:0 defs:124 dups:0
  TX naks:21 acks:0 retrans:0
  Congestion link:0  Send queue max:0 avg:0

In addition, the broadcast-receiver link statistics can be reset in the
usual way via netlink by specifying that link name in command.

Note: the 'tipc_link_name_ext()' is removed because the link name can
now be retrieved simply via the 'l->name'.

In some environment, broadcast traffic is suppressed at high rate (i.e.
a kind of bandwidth limit setting). When it is applied, TIPC broadcast
can still run successfully. However, when it comes to a high load, some
packets will be dropped first and TIPC tries to retransmit them but the
packet retransmission is intentionally broadcast too, so making things
worse and not helpful at all.

This commit enables the broadcast retransmission via unicast which only
retransmits packets to the specific peer that has really reported a gap
i.e. not broadcasting to all nodes in the cluster, so will prevent from
being suppressed, and also reduce some overheads on the other peers due
to duplicates, finally improve the overall TIPC broadcast performance.

Note: the functionality can be turned on/off via the sysctl file:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/bc_retruni
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/tipc/bc_retruni

Default is '0', i.e. the broadcast retransmission still works as usual.

which is "automatically" backward-compatible.

We also increase the max number of Gap ACK blocks to 128, allowing upto
64 blocks per type (total buffer size = 516 bytes).

Besides, the 'tipc_link_advance_transmq()' function is refactored which
is applicable for both the unicast and broadcast cases now, so some old
functions can be removed and the code is optimized.

With the patch, TIPC broadcast is more robust regardless of packet loss
or disorder, latency, ... in the underlying network. Its performance is
boost up significantly.
For example, experiment with a 5% packet loss rate results:

$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real    0m 42.46s
user    0m 1.16s
sys     0m 17.67s

Without the patch:

$ time tipc-pipe --mc --rdm --data_size 123 --data_num 1500000
real    8m 27.94s
user    0m 0.55s
sys     0m 2.38s
