The flag for tx checksumming for tunneling over IPv4 and IPv6 is different. Decide whether to do tx checksumming in vxlan_xmit_one and pass it on as a separate flag. This will allow for tx path consolidation in the next patch. Unfortunately, gcc is not clever enough to see that udp_sum is always initialized and gives an uninitialized variable warning. Set it to false to silence the warning. Signed-off-by: NJiri Benc <jbenc@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When we create IPvlan slave; we use ether_setup() and that sets up default MTU to 1500 while the master device may have lower / different MTU. Any subsequent changes to the masters' MTU are reflected into the slaves' MTU setting. However if those don't happen (most likely scenario), the slaves' MTU stays at 1500 which could be bad. This change adds code to inherit MTU from the master device instead of using the default value during the link initialization phase.

In some modes, bonding would not enslave VF interfaces. This is due to bonding calling change_mtu and the immediately calling open. Because of the asynchronous nature of the admin queue mechanism, the VF returns -EBUSY to the open call, because it knows the previous operation hasn't finished yet. This causes bonding to fail with a less-than-useful error message. To fix this, remove the check for pending operations at the beginning of open. But this introduces a new bug where the driver will panic on a quick close/open cycle. To fix that, we add a new driver state, __I40EVF_DOWN_PENDING, that the driver enters when down is called. The driver finally transitions to a fully DOWN state when it receives confirmation from the PF driver that all the queues are disabled. This allows open to complete even if there is a pending mtu change, and bonding is finally happy.

This patch also fixes a bug in XL710, X710, X722 support for RSS, as of now we cannot reduce the (4)tuple for RSS for TCP/IPv4/IPV6 or UDP/IPv4/IPv6 packets since this requires a product feature change that comes in a later release. A VF should never be allowed to change the tuples for RSS for any PCTYPE since that's a global setting for the device in case of i40e devices.

The bgmac driver depends on BCMA_HOST_SOC, which is only used when CONFIG_BCMA is enabled. However, it is a bool option and can be set when CONFIG_BCMA=m, and then bgmac can be built-in, leading to an obvious link error: drivers/built-in.o: In function `bgmac_init': :(.init.text+0x7f2c): undefined reference to `__bcma_driver_register' drivers/built-in.o: In function `bgmac_exit': :(.exit.text+0x110a): undefined reference to `bcma_driver_unregister' To avoid this case, we need to depend on both BCMA and BCMA_SOC, as this patch does. I'm also trying to make the dependency more readable by splitting it into three lines, and adding a COMPILE_TEST alternative so we can test-build it in all configurations that support BCMA. The added dependency on FIXED_PHY addresses a related issue where we cannot call fixed_phy_register() when CONFIG_FIXED_PHY=m and CONFIG_BGMAC=y.

The davinci_cpdma mixes up physical addresses as seen from the CPU and DMA addresses as seen from a DMA master, since it can operate on both normal memory or an on-chip buffer. If dma_addr_t is different from phys_addr_t, this means we get a compile-time warning about the type mismatch: ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c: In function 'cpdma_desc_pool_create': ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c:182:48: error: passing argument 3 of 'dma_alloc_coherent' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] pool->cpumap = dma_alloc_coherent(dev, size, &pool->phys, In file included from ethernet/ti/davinci_cpdma.c:21:0: dma-mapping.h:398:21: note: expected 'dma_addr_t * {aka long long unsigned int *}' but argument is of type 'phys_addr_t * {aka unsigned int *}' static inline void *dma_alloc_coherent(struct device *dev, size_t size, This slightly restructures the code so the address we use for mapping RAM into a DMA address is always a dma_addr_t, avoiding the warning. The code is correct even if both types are 32-bit because the DMA master in this device only supports 32-bit addressing anyway, independent of the types that are used. We still assign this value to pool->phys, and that is wrong if the driver is ever used with an IOMMU, but that value appears to be never used, so there is no problem really. I've added a couple of comments about where we do things that are slightly violating the API. Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently the port based VLAN maps should be configured to allow every port to egress frames on all other ports, except themselves. The debugfs interface shows that they are misconfigured.

This means that port 3 is allowed to talk to port 2-6, but cannot talk to ports 0 and 1.

The barriers are made explicit here where needed: Even in the worst-case scenario, we just have to use a rmb() after checking ownership so we don't read any input data before we are sure it is value, and we use wmb() before transferring ownership back to the device.

Currently when a macvlan is being initialized and the lower device is netif_carrier_ok(), the macvlan device doesn't run through rfc2863_policy() and is left with UNKNOWN operstate. Fix it by adding an unconditional linkwatch event for the new macvlan device. Similar fix is already used by the 8021q device (see register_vlan_dev()). Also fix the inconsistent state when the lower device has been down and its carrier was changed (when a device is down NETDEV_CHANGE doesn't get generated). The second issue can be seen f.e. when we have a macvlan on top of a 8021q device which has been down and its real device has been changing carrier states, after setting the 8021q device up, the macvlan device will have the same carrier state as it was before even though the 8021q can now have a different state. Example for case 1: 4: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 $ ip l add l eth2 macvl0 type macvlan $ ip l set macvl0 up $ ip l sh macvl0 72: macvl0@eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether f6:0b:54:0a:9d:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Example for case 2 (order is important): Prestate: eth2 UP/CARRIER, vlan1 down, vlan1-macvlan down $ ip l set vlan1-macvlan up $ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan 71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff [ eth2 loses CARRIER before vlan1 has been UP-ed ] $ ip l sh eth2 4: eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:bf:57:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan 71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip l set vlan1 up $ ip l sh vlan1 70: vlan1@eth2: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state LOWERLAYERDOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:bf:57:16 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip l sh vlan1-macvlan 71: vlan1-macvlan@vlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default link/ether 4a:b8:44:56:b9:b9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff vlan1-macvlan is still UP, still has carrier and is still in the same operstate as before. After the patch in case 1 macvl0 has state UP as it should and in case 2 vlan1-macvlan has state LOWERLAYERDOWN again as it should. Note that while the lower macvlan device is down their carrier and thus operstate can go out of sync but that will be fixed once the lower device goes up again. This behaviour seems to have been present since beginning of git history. Signed-off-by: NNikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
