When net devices propagate xdp configurations to slave devices,
we will need to perform a memory provider check to ensure we're
not binding xdp to a device using unreadable netmem.
Currently the ->ndo_bpf calls in a few places. Adding checks to all
these places would not be ideal.
Refactor all the ->ndo_bpf calls into one place where we can add this
check in the future.

There are a few PHY drivers that can handle SFP modules through their
sfp_upstream_ops. Introduce Phylib helpers to keep track of connected
SFP PHYs in a netdevice's namespace, by adding the SFP PHY to the
upstream PHY's netdev's namespace.
By doing so, these SFP PHYs can be enumerated and exposed to users,

Link topologies containing multiple network PHYs attached to the same
net_device can be found when using a PHY as a media converter for use
with an SFP connector, on which an SFP transceiver containing a PHY can
be used.
With the current model, the transceiver's PHY can't be used for
operations such as cable testing, timestamping, macsec offload, etc.
The reason being that most of the logic for these configuration, coming
from either ethtool netlink or ioctls tend to use netdev->phydev, which
in multi-phy systems will reference the PHY closest to the MAC.
Introduce a numbering scheme allowing to enumerate PHY devices that
belong to any netdev, which can in turn allow userspace to take more
precise decisions with regard to each PHY's configuration.
The numbering is maintained per-netdev, in a phy_device_list.
The numbering works similarly to a netdevice's ifindex, with
identifiers that are only recycled once INT_MAX has been reached.
This prevents races that could occur between PHY listing and SFP
transceiver removal/insertion.
The identifiers are assigned at phy_attach time, as the numbering
depends on the netdevice the phy is attached to. The PHY index can be
re-used for PHYs that are persistent.

tc is always in the range 0 - cfg->tcs. And as cfg->tcs is a u8,
the range is 0 - 255. Further, on inspecting the code, it seems
that cfg->tcs will never be more than AQ_CFG_TCS_MAX (8), so
the range is actually 0 - 8.
So, it seems that the condition that GCC flags will not occur.
But, nonetheless, it would be nice if it didn't emit the warning.
It seems that this can be achieved by changing the format specifier
from %d to %u, in which case I believe GCC recognises an upper bound
on the range of tc of 0 - 255. After some experimentation I think
this is due to the combination of the use of %u and the type of
cfg->tcs (u8).
Empirically, updating the type of the tc variable to unsigned int
has the same effect.
As both of these changes seem to make sense in relation to what the code
is actually doing - iterating over unsigned values - do both.

Add support for reading the statistics counters, if they are enabled.
The counters may be 64-bit, but we can't detect this statically as
there's no ability bit for it and the counters are read-only. Therefore,
we assume the counters are 32-bits by default. To ensure we don't miss
an overflow, we read all counters at 13-second intervals. This should be
often enough to ensure the bytes counters don't wrap at 2.5 Gbit/s.
Another complication is that the counters may be reset when the device
is reset (depending on configuration). To ensure the counters persist
across link up/down (including suspend/resume), we maintain our own
versions along with the last counter value we saw. Because we might wait
up to 100 ms for the reset to complete, we use a mutex to protect
writing hw_stats. We can't sleep in ndo_get_stats64, so we use a seqlock
to protect readers.
We don't bother disabling the refresh work when we detect 64-bit
counters. This is because the reset issue requires us to read
hw_stat_base and reset_in_progress anyway, which would still require the
seqcount. And I don't think skipping the task is worth the extra
bookkeeping.
We can't use the byte counters for either get_stats64 or
get_eth_mac_stats. This is because the byte counters include everything
in the frame (destination address to FCS, inclusive). But
rtnl_link_stats64 wants bytes excluding the FCS, and
ethtool_eth_mac_stats wants to exclude the L2 overhead (addresses and
length/type). It might be possible to calculate the byte values Linux
expects based on the frame counters, but I think it is simpler to use
the existing software counters.
get_ethtool_stats is implemented for nonstandard statistics. This
includes the aforementioned byte counters, VLAN and PFC frame
counters, and user-defined (e.g. with custom RTL) counters.

The Receive Frame Rejected interrupt is asserted whenever there was a
receive error (bad FCS, bad length, etc.) or whenever the frame was
dropped due to a mismatched address. So this is really a combination of
rx_otherhost_dropped, rx_length_errors, rx_frame_errors, and
rx_crc_errors. Mismatched addresses are common and aren't really errors
at all (much like how fragments are normal on half-duplex links). To
avoid confusion, report these events as rx_dropped. This better
reflects what's going on: the packet was received by the MAC but dropped

When performing the port_hwtstamp_set operation, ptp_schedule_worker()

When using multiple ports for PTP, port_hwtstamp_set is executed for
each port. When called for the first time ptp_schedule_worker() returns
0. On subsequent calls it returns 1, indicating the worker is already
scheduled. Currently the ksz driver treats 1 as an error and fails to
complete the port_hwtstamp_set operation, thus leaving the timestamping
configuration for those ports unchanged.
This patch fixes this by ignoring the ptp_schedule_worker() return

error checking is looking at the total number of bufs instead of the

only works correctly for the first iteration through the loop and
subsequent iterations are always counted as a success.

When working on multi-buffer packet on arch that has PAGE_SIZE >= 8192,
truesize is calculated and stored in xdp_buff::frame_sz per each
processed Rx buffer. This means that frame_sz will contain the truesize
based on last received buffer, but commit 1dc1a7e7f4 ("ice:
Centrallize Rx buffer recycling") assumed this value will be constant
for each buffer, which breaks the page recycling scheme and mess up the
way we update the page::page_offset.
To fix this, let us work on constant truesize when PAGE_SIZE >= 8192
instead of basing this on size of a packet read from Rx descriptor. This
way we can simplify the code and avoid calculating truesize per each
received frame and on top of that when using
xdp_update_skb_shared_info(), current formula for truesize update will
be valid.
This means ice_rx_frame_truesize() can be removed altogether.
Furthermore, first call to it within ice_clean_rx_irq() for 4k PAGE_SIZE
was redundant as xdp_buff::frame_sz is initialized via xdp_init_buff()
in ice_vsi_cfg_rxq(). This should have been removed at the point where
xdp_buff struct started to be a member of ice_rx_ring and it was no
longer a stack based variable.
There are two fixes tags as my understanding is that the first one
exposed us to broken truesize and page_offset handling and then second
introduced broken skb_shared_info update in ice_{construct,build}_skb().

When SHAMPO is used, a receive queue currently almost always leaks one
page on shutdown.
A page has MLX5E_SHAMPO_WQ_HEADER_PER_PAGE (8) headers. These headers
are tracked in the SHAMPO bitmap. Each page is released when the last
header index in the group is processed. During header allocation, there
can be leftovers from a page that will be used in a subsequent
allocation. This is normally fine, except for the following scenario
(simplified a bit):
1) Allocate N new page fragments, showing only the relevant last 4
fragments:
0: new page
1: new page
2: new page
3: new page
4: page from previous allocation
5: page from previous allocation
6: page from previous allocation
7: page from previous allocation
2) NAPI processes header indices 4-7 because they are the oldest
allocated. Bit 7 will be set to 0.
3) Receive queue shutdown occurs. All the remaining bits are being
iterated on to release the pages. But the page assigned to header
indices 0-3 will not be freed due to what happened in step 2.
This patch fixes the issue by making sure that on allocation, header
fragments are always allocated in groups of
MLX5E_SHAMPO_WQ_HEADER_PER_PAGE so that there is never a partial page
left over between allocations.
A more appropriate fix would be a refactoring of
mlx5e_alloc_rx_hd_mpwqe() and mlx5e_build_shampo_hd_umr(). But this
refactoring is too big for net. It will be targeted for net-next.

====================
ice: iavf: add support for TC U32 filters on VFs
Ahmed Zaki says:
The Intel Ethernet 800 Series is designed with a pipeline that has
an on-chip programmable capability called Dynamic Device Personalization
(DDP). A DDP package is loaded by the driver during probe time. The DDP
package programs functionality in both the parser and switching blocks in
the pipeline, allowing dynamic support for new and existing protocols.
Once the pipeline is configured, the driver can identify the protocol and
apply any HW action in different stages, for example, direct packets to
desired hardware queues (flow director), queue groups or drop.
Patches 1-8 introduce a DDP package parser API that enables different
pipeline stages in the driver to learn the HW parser capabilities from
the DDP package that is downloaded to HW. The parser library takes raw
packet patterns and masks (in binary) indicating the packet protocol fields
to be matched and generates the final HW profiles that can be applied at
the required stage. With this API, raw flow filtering for FDIR or RSS
could be done on new protocols or headers without any driver or Kernel
updates (only need to update the DDP package). These patches were submitted
before [1] but were not accepted mainly due to lack of a user.
Patches 9-11 extend the virtchnl support to allow the VF to request raw
flow director filters. Upon receiving the raw FDIR filter request, the PF
driver allocates and runs a parser lib instance and generates the hardware
profile definitions required to program the FDIR stage. These were also
submitted before [2].
Finally, patches 12 and 13 add TC U32 filter support to the iavf driver.
Using the parser API, the ice driver runs the raw patterns sent by the
user and then adds a new profile to the FDIR stage associated with the VF's
VSI. Refer to examples in patch 13 commit message.
