For example, the burst_len is managed by using the mentioned axi

RDS iWarp support code has become stale and non testable for

- Long due RDS maintainer entry gets updated
- Some RDS IB code refactoring towards new FastReg Memory registration (FRMR)
- Lastly the initial support for FRMR
RDS IB RDMA performance with FRMR is not yet as good as FMR and I do have
some patches in progress to address that. But they are not ready for 4.6

this is our (hopefully) latest batch of patches intended for net-next.
With this patchset we finally introduce B.A.T.M.A.N. V: the latest
version of our routing protocol.
Technical documentation describing the protocol in more detail can
be found in our wiki[1][2][3][4].

[4] https://www.open-mesh.org/projects/batman-adv/wiki/BATMAN_V_Tests
...
With this patchset we finally introduce our new routing protocol:
B.A.T.M.A.N. V. Its implementation started quite some years ago,
but due to the big changes being introduced it took a while to be
discussed, designed, worked, re-worked, tested and debugged (well,
we're never done with the latest). The entire operation has
basically been a team work involving all the core contributors
together with other people interested in the project.
The new protocol is divided into two main subcomponents, called
respectively ELP and OGMv2. The former is in charge of
dealing with the neighbour discovery and link quality estimation,
while the latter implements the algorithm that spreads the
metrics around the network and computes optimal paths.
The biggest change introduced with B.A.T.M.A.N. V is the new
metric: the protocol won't rely on packet loss anymore, but it
will use the estimated throughput extracted directly from the
wifi driver (when available) by querying cfg80211.
Batman-adv will also send some unicast probing packets when
an interface is not used for payload traffic to make sure that
such values are current.
The new protocol can be compiled-in or not like other
features we have and when selected will pull in CFG80211 as
dependency for the reason described above.
Thanks to the big work brought up in the past by Marek Lindner,
batman-adv can easily deal several protocol implementations,
therefore compiling in this new version does not exclude the
older.
This means that the user is offered the option to choose
the protocol when creating the mesh interface (default is the
old one to keep backward compatibility).
Along with the protocol there are some sysfs knobs that are
introduced to fine tune some of its behaviours, but users
are recommended to keep the default values unless they know
what they are doing.
The last patch is about advertising our own patchwork platform
(thanks to Sven Eckelmann for having set that up!) in the
MAINTAINERS file.

Until now we've only enabled attention generation for the sake of

This series enables [almost] all the attention sources of the HW,
currently for the sake of logging information relating to issues
experienced by HW. In future, infrastructure laid here would also be used

The first patch in the series is a semantic alignemnt of the code.

====================
net_sched: Add support for IFE action
As agreed at netconf in Seville, here's the patch finally (1 year
was just too long to wait for an ethertype. Now we are just going
have the user configure one).
Described in netdev01 paper:
"Distributing Linux Traffic Control Classifier-Action Subsystem"
Authors: Jamal Hadi Salim and Damascene M. Joachimpillai
The original motivation and deployment of this work was to horizontally
scale packet processing at scope of a chasis or rack. This means one
could take a tc policy and split it across machines connected over
L2. The paper refers to this as "pipeline stage indexing". Other
use cases which evolved out of the original intent include but are
not limited to carrying OAM information, carrying exception handling
metadata, carrying programmed authentication and authorization information,
encapsulating programmed compliance information, service IDs etc.
Read the referenced paper for more details.
The architecture allows for incremental updates for new metadatum support
to cover different use cases.
This patch set includes support for basic skb metadatum.
Followup patches will have more examples of metadata and other features.
v4 changes:
Integrate more feedback from Cong
v3 changes:
Integrate with the new namespace changes
Remove skbhash and queue mapping metadata (but keep their claim for ids)

introduce IFE action
This action allows for a sending side to encapsulate arbitrary metadata
which is decapsulated by the receiving end.
The sender runs in encoding mode and the receiver in decode mode.
Both sender and receiver must specify the same ethertype.
At some point we hope to have a registered ethertype and we'll
then provide a default so the user doesnt have to specify it.
For now we enforce the user specify it.
Lets show example usage where we encode icmp from a sender towards
a receiver with an skbmark of 17; both sender and receiver use
ethertype of 0xdead to interop.
YYYY: Lets start with Receiver-side policy config:
xxx: add an ingress qdisc
sudo tc qdisc add dev $ETH ingress
xxx: any packets with ethertype 0xdead will be subjected to ife decoding
xxx: we then restart the classification so we can match on icmp at prio 3
sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 2 protocol 0xdead \
u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \
action ife decode reclassify
xxx: on restarting the classification from above if it was an icmp
xxx: packet, then match it here and continue to the next rule at prio 4
xxx: which will match based on skb mark of 17
sudo tc filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 3 protocol ip \
u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:1 \

Allow for more multicast router port information to be dumped such as

[MDBA_ROUTER_PORT] = { <- nested attribute
u32 ifindex <- router port ifindex for user-space compatibility

====================
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: implement VLAN filtering
This patchset fixes hardware bridging for non 802.1Q aware systems.
The mv88e6xxx DSA driver currently depends on CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q and
CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING enabled for correct bridging between switch ports.
Patch 1/9 adds support for the VLAN filtering switchdev attribute in DSA.
Patchs 2/9 and 3/9 add helper functions for the following patches.
Patchs 4/9 to 6/9 assign dynamic address databases to VLANs, ports, and
bridge groups (the lowest available FID is cleared and assigned), and thus
restore support for per-port FDB operations.
Patchs 7/9 to 9/9 refine ports isolation and setup 802.1Q on user demand.
With this patchset, ports get correctly bridged and the driver behaves as
expected, with or without 802.1Q support.
With CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q enabled, setting a default PVID to the bridge correctly
propagates the corresponding VLAN, in addition to the hardware bridging:
# echo 42 > /sys/class/net/<bridge>/bridge/default_pvid
But considering CONFIG_BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING enabled, the hardware VLAN
filtering is enabled on all bridge members only when the user requests it:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/net/<bridge>/bridge/vlan_filtering

====================
Introduce devlink interface and first drivers to use it
There a is need for some userspace API that would allow to expose things
that are not directly related to any device class like net_device of
ib_device, but rather chip-wide/switch-ASIC-wide stuff.
Use cases:
1) get/set of port type (Ethernet/InfiniBand)
2) setting up port splitters - split port into multiple ones and squash again,
enables usage of splitter cable
3) setting up shared buffers - shared among multiple ports within
one chip (work in progress)
4) configuration of switch wide properties - resources division etc - This will
allow to pass configuration that is unacceptable to be passed as
a module option.
First patch of this set introduces a new generic Netlink based interface,
called "devlink". It is similar to nl80211 model and it is heavily
influenced by it, including the API definition. The devlink introduction patch
implements use cases 1) and 2). Other 2 are in development atm and will
be addressed by follow-ups.
It is very convenient for drivers to use devlink, as you can see in other
patches in this set.
Counterpart for devlink is userspace tool for now called "dl". Command line
interface and outputs are derived from "ip" tool so it should be easy
for users to get used to it.
It is available here as a standalone tool for now:
https://github.com/jpirko/devlink
After this is merge in kernel, I will include the "dl" or "devlink" tool
into iproute2 toolset.
Port type setting example:
myhost:~$ dl help
Usage: dl [ OPTIONS ] OBJECT { COMMAND | help }
where OBJECT := { dev | port | monitor }
OPTIONS := { -v/--verbose }
myhost:~$ dl dev help
Usage: dl dev show [DEV]
myhost:~$ dl dev show
pci/0000:01:00.0
myhost:~$ dl port help
Usage: dl port show [DEV/PORT_INDEX]
Usage: dl port set DEV/PORT_INDEX [ type { eth | ib | auto} ]
Usage: dl port split DEV/PORT_INDEX count
Usage: dl port unsplit DEV/PORT_INDEX
myhost:~$ dl port show
pci/0000:01:00.0/1: type ib ibdev mlx4_0
pci/0000:01:00.0/2: type ib ibdev mlx4_0
myhost:~$ sudo dl port set pci/0000:01:00.0/1 type eth
myhost:~$ dl port show
pci/0000:01:00.0/1: type eth netdev ens4
pci/0000:01:00.0/2: type ib ibdev mlx4_0
myhost:~$ sudo dl port set ens4 type auto
myhost:~$ dl port show

The port netdevs are each associated with a different local port number
in the device. These local ports are grouped into groups of 4 (e.g.
(1-4), (5-8)) called clusters. The cluster constitutes the one of two
possible modules they can be mapped to. This mapping is board-specific
and done by the device's firmware during init.
When splitting a port by 4, the device requires us to first unmap all
the ports in the cluster and then map each to a single lane in the module
associated with the port netdev used as the handle for the operation.
This means that two port netdevs will disappear, as only 100Gb/s (4
lanes) ports can be split and we are guaranteed to have two of these
((1, 3), (5, 7) etc.) in a cluster.
When unsplit occurs we need to reinstantiate the two original 100Gb/s
ports and map each to its origianl module. Therefore, during driver init
store the initial local port to module mapping, so it can be used later
during unsplitting.
Note that a by 2 split doesn't require us to store the mapping, as we
only need to reinstantiate one port whose module is known.

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

net: sched: cls_u32 add bit to specify software only rules
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. Thanks to Simon Horman for
catching this case.

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

veth: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom
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.

net/tun: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom
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.
