A subsequent patch will add a new multipath hash policy where the packet fields used for multipath hash calculation are determined by user space. This patch adds a sysctl that allows user space to set these fields. The packet fields are represented using a bitmask and are common between IPv4 and IPv6 to allow user space to use the same numbering across both protocols. For example, to hash based on standard 5-tuple: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x0037 net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields = 0x0037 The kernel rejects unknown fields, for example: # sysctl -w net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields=0x1000 sysctl: setting key "net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_fields": Invalid argument More fields can be added in the future, if needed.

Some parts of the documentation may lead the reader to think that the socket's own frames are always received when CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS is enabled, but all frames are subject to filtering. As explained by Marc Kleine-Budde: On TX complete of a CAN frame it's pushed into the RX path of the networking stack, along with the information of the originating socket. Then the CAN frame is delivered into AF_CAN, where it is passed on to all registered receivers depending on filters. One receiver is the sending socket in CAN_RAW. Then in CAN_RAW the it is checked if the sending socket has RECV_OWN_MSGS enabled.

Similarly to pause statistics add stats for FEC. The IEEE standard mandates two sets of counters: - 30.5.1.1.17 aFECCorrectedBlocks - 30.5.1.1.18 aFECUncorrectableBlocks where block is a block of bits FEC operates on. Each of these counters is defined per lane (PCS instance). Multiple vendors provide number of corrected _bits_ rather than/as well as blocks. This set adds the 2 standard-based block counters and a extra one for corrected bits. Counters are exposed to user space via netlink in new attributes. Each attribute carries an array of u64s, first element is the total count, and the following ones are a per-lane break down. Much like with pause stats the operation will not fail when driver does not implement the get_fec_stats callback (nor can the driver fail the operation by returning an error). If stats can't be reported the relevant attributes will be empty. Signed-off-by: NJakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NDavid S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently each packet inserted in eswitch is tagged with a internal metadata to indicate source vport. Metadata tagging is not always needed. Metadata insertion is needed for multi-port RoCE, failover between representors and stacked devices. In many other cases, metadata enablement is not needed. Metadata insertion slows down the packet processing rate of the E-switch when it is in switchdev mode. Below table show performance gain with metadata disabled for VXLAN offload rules in both SMFS and DMFS steering mode on ConnectX-5 device. ---------------------------------------------- | steering | metadata | pkt size | rx pps | | mode | | | (million) | ---------------------------------------------- | smfs | disabled | 128Bytes | 42 | ---------------------------------------------- | smfs | enabled | 128Bytes | 36 | ---------------------------------------------- | dmfs | disabled | 128Bytes | 42 | ---------------------------------------------- | dmfs | enabled | 128Bytes | 36 | ---------------------------------------------- Hence, allow user to disable metadata using driver specific devlink parameter. Metadata setting of the eswitch is applicable only for the switchdev mode. Example to show and disable metadata before changing eswitch mode: $ devlink dev param show pci/0000:06:00.0 name esw_port_metadata pci/0000:06:00.0: name esw_port_metadata type driver-specific values: cmode runtime value true $ devlink dev param set pci/0000:06:00.0 \ name esw_port_metadata value false cmode runtime $ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:06:00.0 mode switchdev Signed-off-by: NParav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: NRoi Dayan <roid@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: NVu Pham <vuhuong@nvidia.com> Signed-off-by: NSaeed Mahameed <saeedm@nvidia.com> --- changelog: v1->v2: - added performance numbers in commit log - updated commit log and documentation for switchdev mode - added explicit note on when user can disable metadata in documentation

X.25 Layer 3 (the Packet Layer) expects layer 2 to provide a reliable datalink service such that no packets are reordered or dropped. And X.25 Layer 2 (the LAPB layer) is indeed designed to provide such service. However, this reliability is not preserved when a driver calls "netif_rx" to deliver the received packets to layer 3, because "netif_rx" will put the packets into per-CPU queues before they are delivered to layer 3. If there are multiple CPUs, the order of the packets may not be preserved. The per-CPU queues may also drop packets if there are too many. Therefore, we should not call "netif_rx" to let it queue the packets. Instead, we should use our own queue that won't reorder or drop packets. This patch changes all X.25 drivers to use their own queues instead of calling "netif_rx". The patch also documents this requirement in the "x25-iface" documentation.

If there is overlapp between ip_local_port_range and ip_local_reserved_ports with a huge reserved block, it will affect probability of selecting ephemeral ports, see file net/ipv4/inet_hashtables.c:723 int __inet_hash_connect( ... for (i = 0; i < remaining; i += 2, port += 2) { if (unlikely(port >= high)) port -= remaining; if (inet_is_local_reserved_port(net, port)) continue; E.g. if there is reserved block of 10000 ports, two ports right after this block will be 5000 more likely selected than others. If this was intended, we can/should add note into documentation as proposed in this commit, otherwise we should think about different solution. One option could be mapping table of continuous port ranges. Second option could be letting user to modify step (port+=2) in above loop, e.g. using new sysctl parameter.

Add FEC API to netlink. This is not a 1-to-1 conversion. FEC settings already depend on link modes to tell user which modes are supported. Take this further an use link modes for manual configuration. Old struct ethtool_fecparam is still used to talk to the drivers, so we need to translate back and forth. We can revisit the internal API if number of FEC encodings starts to grow. Enforce only one active FEC bit (by using a bit position rather than another mask).
