Having the same VLAN on multiple bridges is currently unsupported as
an offload. mv88e6xxx_port_check_hw_vlan() is used to ensure that a
VLAN is not on multiple bridges when adding a VLAN range to a port. It
loops the ports and checks to see if there are ports in a different
bridge with the same VLAN.
While walking all switch ports, the code was checking if the new port
has a netdev slave attached to it. If not, skip checking the port
being walked. This seems like a typ0. If the new port does not have a
slave, how has a VLAN been added to it in the first place, requiring
this check be performed at all? More likely, we should be checking if
the port being walked has a slave. Without the port having a slave, it
cannot have a VLAN on it, so there is no need to check further for
that particular port.

The software bridge needs to know if a packet has already been bridged
by hardware offload to ports in the same hardware offload, in order
that it does not re-flood them, causing duplicates. This is
particularly true for broadcast and multicast traffic which the host
has requested.
By setting offload_fwd_mark in the skb the bridge will only flood to
ports in other offloads and other netifs. Set this flag in the DSA and
EDSA tag driver.

SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID is used by the software bridge when
determining which ports to flood a packet out. If the packet
originated from a switch, it assumes the switch has already flooded
the packet out the switches ports, so the bridge should not flood the
packet itself out switch ports. Ports on the same switch are expected
to return the same parent ID when SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_PORT_PARENT_ID is
called.
DSA gets this wrong with clusters of switches. As far as the software
bridge is concerned, the cluster is all one switch. A packet from any
switch in the cluster can be assumed to have been flooded as needed
out of all ports of the cluster, not just the switch it originated
from. Hence all ports of a cluster should return the same parent. The
old implementation did not, each switch in the cluster had its own ID.
Also wrong was that the ID was not unique if multiple DSA instances
are in operation.
Use the tree ID as the parent ID, which is the same for all switches
in a cluster and unique across switch clusters.

There are two different combined signal for various interrupt events:
In EQOS-CORE and EQOS-MTL configurations, mci_intr_o is the interrupt
signal.
In EQOS-DMA, EQOS-AHB and EQOS-AXI configurations, these interrupt events
are combined with the events in the DMA on the sbd_intr_o signal.
Depending on configuration, the device tree irq "macirq" will refer to
either mci_intr_o or sbd_intr_o.
The databook states:
"The MAC generates the LPI interrupt when the Tx or Rx side enters or exits
the LPI state. The interrupt mci_intr_o (sbd_intr_o in certain
configurations) is asserted when the LPI interrupt status is set.
When the MAC exits the Rx LPI state, then in addition to the mci_intr_o
(sbd_intr_o in certain configurations), the sideband signal lpi_intr_o is
asserted.
If you do not want to gate-off the application clock during the Rx LPI
state, you can leave the lpi_intr_o signal unconnected and use the
mci_intr_o (sbd_intr_o in certain configurations) signal to detect Rx LPI
exit."
Since the "macirq" is always raised when Tx or Rx enters/exits the LPI
state, "eth_lpi" must therefore refer to lpi_intr_o, which is only raised
when Rx exits the LPI state. Update the DT binding description to reflect
reality.

This patch fixes an error in memory allocation/freeing in
ThunderX PF driver.
I moved the allocation to the probe() function and made it managed.
>From the Colin's email:
While running static analysis on linux-next with CoverityScan I found 3
double free errors in the Cavium thunder driver.
The issue occurs on the err_disable_device: label of function nic_probe
when nic_free_lmacmem(nic) is called and a double free occurs on
nic->duplex, nic->link and nic->speed. This occurs when nic_init_hw()
fails:
/* Initialize hardware */
err = nic_init_hw(nic);
if (err)
goto err_release_regions;
nic_init_hw() calls nic_get_hw_info() and this calls nic_free_lmacmem()
if any of the allocations fail. This free'ing occurs again by the call
to nic_free_lmacmem() on the err_release_regions exit path in nic_probe().

When Thunderbolt network interface is disabled or when the cable is
unplugged the driver releases all allocated buffers by calling
tbnet_free_buffers() for each ring. This function then calls
dma_unmap_page() for each buffer it finds where bus address is non-zero.
Now, we only clear this bus address when the Tx buffer is sent to the
hardware so it is possible that the function finds an entry that has
already been unmapped.
Enabling DMA-API debugging catches this as well:
thunderbolt 0000:06:00.0: DMA-API: device driver tries to free DMA
memory it has not allocated [device address=0x0000000068321000] [size=4096 bytes]
Fix this by clearing the bus address of a Tx frame right after we have
unmapped the buffer.

Replace the reordering distance measurement in packet unit with
sequence based approach. Previously it trackes the number of "packets"
toward the forward ACK (i.e. highest sacked sequence)in a state
variable "fackets_out".
Precisely measuring reordering degree on packet distance has not much
benefit, as the degree constantly changes by factors like path, load,
and congestion window. It is also complicated and prone to arcane bugs.
This patch replaces with sequence-based approach that's much simpler.

Currently, the TIPC RPS dissector is based only on the incoming packets'
source node address, hence steering all traffic from a node to the same
core. We have seen that this makes the links vulnerable to starvation
and unnecessary resets when we turn down the link tolerance to very low
values.
To reduce the risk of this happening, we exempt probe and probe replies
packets from the convergence to one core per source node. Instead, we do
the opposite, - we try to diverge those packets across as many cores as
possible, by randomizing the flow selector key.
To make such packets identifiable to the dissector, we add a new
'is_keepalive' bit to word 0 of the LINK_PROTOCOL header. This bit is
set both for PROBE and PROBE_REPLY messages, and only for those.
It should be noted that these packets are not part of any flow anyway,
and only constitute a minuscule fraction of all packets sent across a
link. Hence, there is no risk that this will affect overall performance.

I'm sending this through Dave since it'll conflict with other BPF changes in his

v4->v5:
- disallow kprobe_override programs from being put in the prog map array so we
don't tail call into something we didn't check. This allows us to make the
normal path still fast without a bunch of percpu operations.
v3->v4:
- fix a build error found by kbuild test bot (I didn't wait long enough

- Added a warning message as per Daniels suggestion.
v2->v3:
- added a ->kprobe_override flag to bpf_prog.
- added some sanity checks to disallow attaching bpf progs that have
->kprobe_override set that aren't for ftrace kprobes.
- added the trace_kprobe_ftrace helper to check if the trace_event_call is a
ftrace kprobe.
- renamed bpf_kprobe_state to bpf_kprobe_override, fixed it so we only read this
value in the kprobe path, and thus only write to it if we're overriding or
clearing the override.
v1->v2:
- moved things around to make sure that bpf_override_return could really only be
used for an ftrace kprobe.
- killed the special return values from trace_call_bpf.
- renamed pc_modified to bpf_kprobe_state so bpf_override_return could tell if
it was being called from an ftrace kprobe context.
- reworked the logic in kprobe_perf_func to take advantage of bpf_kprobe_state.
- updated the test as per Alexei's review.
- Original message -
A lot of our error paths are not well tested because we have no good way of
injecting errors generically. Some subystems (block, memory) have ways to
inject errors, but they are random so it's hard to get reproduceable results.
With BPF we can add determinism to our error injection. We can use kprobes and
other things to verify we are injecting errors at the exact case we are trying
to test. This patch gives us the tool to actual do the error injection part.
It is very simple, we just set the return value of the pt_regs we're given to
whatever we provide, and then override the PC with a dummy function that simply
returns.
Right now this only works on x86, but it would be simple enough to expand to
other architectures. Thanks,
