c086e70961 cdc_ncm: workaround for EM7455 "silent" data interface
Several Lenovo users have reported problems with their Sierra
Wireless EM7455 modem. The driver has loaded successfully and
the MBIM management channel has appeared to work, including
establishing a connection to the mobile network. But no frames
have been received over the data interface.

The problem affects all EM7455 and MC7455, and is assumed to
affect other modems based on the same Qualcomm chipset and
baseband firmware.

Testing narrowed the problem down to what seems to be a
firmware timing bug during initialization. Adding a short sleep
while probing is sufficient to make the problem disappear.
Experiments have shown that 1-2 ms is too little to have any
effect, while 10-20 ms is enough to reliably succeed.

05a5648717 net: cdc_ncm: update datagram size after changing mtu
Current implementation updates the mtu size and notify cdc_ncm
device using USB_CDC_SET_MAX_DATAGRAM_SIZE request about datagram
size change instead of changing rx_urb_size.

Whenever mtu is being changed, datagram size should also be
updated. Also updating maxmtu formula so it takes max_datagram_size with
use of cdc_ncm_max_dgram_size() and not ctx.

4d06dd537f cdc_ncm: do not call usbnet_link_change from cdc_ncm_bind
usbnet_link_change will call schedule_work and should be
avoided if bind is failing. Otherwise we will end up with
scheduled work referring to a netdev which has gone away.

Instead of making the call conditional, we can just defer
it to usbnet_probe, using the driver_info flag made for
this purpose.

48906f62c9 cdc_ncm: toggle altsetting to force reset before setup
Some devices will silently fail setup unless they are reset first.
This is necessary even if the data interface is already in
altsetting 0, which it will be when the device is probed for the
first time.  Briefly toggling the altsetting forces a function
reset regardless of the initial state.

This fixes a setup problem observed on a number of Huawei devices,
appearing to operate in NTB-32 mode even if we explicitly set them
to NTB-16 mode.

1dfddff5fc net: cdc_ncm: avoid changing RX/TX buffers on MTU changes
NCM buffer sizes are negotiated with the device independently of
the network device MTU.  The RX buffers are allocated by the
usbnet framework based on the rx_urb_size value set by cdc_ncm. A
single RX buffer can hold a number of MTU sized packets.

The default usbnet change_mtu ndo only modifies rx_urb_size if it
is equal to hard_mtu.  And the cdc_ncm driver will set rx_urb_size
and hard_mtu independently of each other, based on dwNtbInMaxSize
and dwNtbOutMaxSize respectively. It was therefore assumed that
usbnet_change_mtu() would never touch rx_urb_size.  This failed to
consider the case where dwNtbInMaxSize and dwNtbOutMaxSize happens
to be equal.

Fix by implementing an NCM specific change_mtu ndo, modifying the
netdev MTU without touching the buffer size settings.

f8c0cfa5ec net: cdc_mbim: add "NDP to end" quirk for Huawei E3372
The Huawei E3372 (12d1:157d) needs this quirk in MBIM mode
as well. Allow this by forcing the NTB to contain only a
single NDP, and add a device specific entry for this ID.

Due to the way Huawei use device IDs, this might be applied
to other modems as well.  It is assumed that those modems
will be based on the same firmware and will need this quirk
too.  If not, it will still not harm normal usage, although
multiplexing performance could be impacted.

6527f833bf net: cdc_ncm: fix NULL pointer deref in cdc_ncm_bind_common
Commit 77b0a09967 ("cdc-ncm: use common parser") added a dangerous
new trust in the CDC functional descriptors presented by the device,
unconditionally assuming that any device handled by the driver has
a CDC Union descriptor.

This descriptor is required by the NCM and MBIM specs, but crashing
on non-compliant devices is still unacceptable. Not only will that
allow malicious devices to crash the kernel, but in this case it is
also well known that there are non-compliant real devices on the
market - as shown by the comment accompanying the IAD workaround
in the same function.

The Sierra Wireless EM7305 is an example of such device, having
a CDC header and a CDC MBIM descriptor but no CDC Union:

    Interface Descriptor:
      bLength                 9
      bDescriptorType         4
      bInterfaceNumber       12
      bAlternateSetting       0
      bNumEndpoints           1
      bInterfaceClass         2 Communications
      bInterfaceSubClass     14
      bInterfaceProtocol      0
      iInterface              0
      CDC Header:
        bcdCDC               1.10
      CDC MBIM:
        bcdMBIMVersion       1.00
        wMaxControlMessage   4096
        bNumberFilters       16
        bMaxFilterSize       128
        wMaxSegmentSize      4064
        bmNetworkCapabilities 0x20
          8-byte ntb input size
      Endpoint Descriptor:
	..

The conversion to a common parser also left the local cdc_union
variable untouched.  This caused the IAD workaround code to be applied
to all devices with an IAD descriptor, which was never intended.  Finish
the conversion by testing for hdr.usb_cdc_union_desc instead.

4a0e3e989d cdc_ncm: Add support for moving NDP to end of NCM frame
NCM specs are not actually mandating a specific position in the frame for
the NDP (Network Datagram Pointer). However, some Huawei devices will
ignore our aggregates if it is not placed after the datagrams it points
to. Add support for doing just this, in a per-device configurable way.
While at it, update NCM subdrivers, disabling this functionality in all of
them, except in huawei_cdc_ncm where it is enabled instead.
We aren't making any distinction between different Huawei NCM devices,
based on what the vendor driver does. Standard NCM devices are left
unaffected: if they are compliant, they should be always usable, still
stay on the safe side.

This change has been tested and working with a Huawei E3131 device (which
works regardless of NDP position), a Huawei E3531 (also working both
ways) and an E3372 (which mandates NDP to be after indexed datagrams).

V1->V2:
- corrected wrong NDP acronym definition
- fixed possible NULL pointer dereference
- patch cleanup
V2->V3:
- Properly account for the NDP size when writing new packets to SKB

7a1e890e21 usbnet: Fix tx_bytes statistic running backward in cdc_ncm
cdc_ncm disagrees with usbnet about how much framing overhead should
be counted in the tx_bytes statistics, and tries 'fix' this by
decrementing tx_bytes on the transmit path.  But statistics must never
be decremented except due to roll-over; this will thoroughly confuse
user-space.  Also, tx_bytes is only incremented by usbnet in the
completion path.

Fix this by requiring drivers that set FLAG_MULTI_FRAME to set a
tx_bytes delta along with the tx_packets count.

39eb7e0e8c net: cdc_ncm: allow tuning min_tx_pkt
The min_tx_pkt variable decides the cutoff point where the driver
will stop padding out NTBs to maximum size. The padding is a tradeoff
where we use some USB bus bandwidth to allow the device to receive
fixed size buffers. Different devices will have different optimal
settings, spanning from no padding at all to padding every NTB.
There is no way to automatically figure out which setting is best
for a specific device.

The default value is a reasonable tradeoff, calculated based on the
USB packet size and out NTB max size. This may have to be changed
along with any tx_max changes.

to trial and error.

parameters redefined that API in a driver specific and confusing

 - makes it clear that this is a driver specific userspace API, and
 - allows us to export the real values instead of some translated
   version, and
 - lets us include more aggregation variables which were impossible
   to force into the ethtool API.

Additionally, using sysfs allows tuning the driver on space
constrained hosts where userspace tools like ethtool are undesired.

It doesn't matter whether the buffer size goes up or down.  We have to
keep usbnet and device syncronized to be able to split transfers at the

buffer size, then it will merge and/or split NTBs.  The driver does not
support this, and the result will be lots of framing errors.

Fix by always reallocating usbnet rx buffers when the rx_max value

beeecd42c3 net: cdc_ncm/cdc_mbim: adding NCM protocol statistics
To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing
it's useful to have some counters showing the different
aspects.

Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev
rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload,
while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM
framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the
payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of
this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device
and traffic.

With very few exceptions, users are only interested in
the payload size.  Having an somewhat accurate payload
byte counter is particularly important for mobile
broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course
all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications
will use this counter to monitor account quotas.

Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are
now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that
it shows the real payload

absolute max. We can reduce the overhead without sacrificing
any of the simplicity for these devices, by simply using the
true negotiated count in when calculated the maximum NTH and
NDP header sizes.

6c4e548ff3 net: cdc_ncm: use ethtool to tune coalescing settings
Datagram coalescing is an integral part of the NCM and MBIM
protocols, intended to reduce the interrupt load primarily
on the device end of the USB link.  As with all coalescing
solutions, there is a trade-off between buffering and
interrupts.

The current defaults are based on the assumption that device
side buffers should be the limiting factor.  However, many
modern high speed LTE modems suffers from buffer-bloat,
making this assumption fail. This results in sub-optimal
performance due to excessive coalescing.  And in cases where
such modems are connected to cheap embedded hosts there is
often severe buffer allocation issues, giving very noticeable
performance degradation .

A start on improving this is going from build time hard
coded limits to per device user configurable limits.  The
ethtool coalescing API was selected as user interface
because, although the tuned values are buffer sizes, these
settings directly control datagram coalescing.

08c74fc901 net: cdc_ncm: split .bind device initialization
Now that we have split out the part of the device setup
which MUST be done with the data interface in altsetting 0,
we can delay the rest of the initialization. This allows us
to move some of post-init buffer size config from bind to
the appropriate setup function.

The purpose of this refactoring is to collect all code
adjusting the rx_max and tx_max buffers in one place, so
that it is easier to call it from multiple call sites.

50a0ffaf75 net: cdc_ncm/cdc_mbim: rework probing of NCM/MBIM functions
The NCM class match in the cdc_mbim driver is confusing and
cause unexpected behaviour. The USB core guarantees that a
USB interface is in altsetting 0 when probing starts. This
means that devices implementing a NCM 1.0 backwards
compatible MBIM function (a "NCM/MBIM function") always hit
the NCM entry in the cdc_mbim driver match table. Such
functions will never match any of the MBIM entries.

This causes unexpeced behaviour for cases where the NCM and
MBIM entries are differet, which is currently the case for
all except Ericsson devices.

Improve the probing of NCM/MBIM functions by looking up the
device again in the cdc_mbim match table after switching to
the MBIM identity.

The shared altsetting selection is updated to better
accommodate the new probing logic, returning the preferred
altsetting for the control interface instead of the data
interface. The control interface altsetting update is moved
to the cdc_mbim driver. It is never necessary to change the
control interface altsetting for NCM.

9becd70784 net: cdc_ncm: fix buffer overflow
Commit 4d619f625a ("net: cdc_ncm: no point in filling up the NTBs
if we send ZLPs") changed the padding logic for devices with the ZLP
flag set.  This meant that frames of any size will be sent without
additional padding, except for the single byte added if the size is
a multiple of the USB packet size. But if the unpadded size is
identical to the maximum frame size, and the maximum size is a
multiplum of the USB packet size, then this one-byte padding will
overflow the buffer.

Prevent padding if already at maximum frame size, letting usbnet
transmit a ZLP instead in this case.

This is a context modified revert of commit 6a9612e2cb
("net: cdc_ncm: remove ncm_parm field") which introduced
a NCM specification violation, causing setup errors for
some devices. These errors resulted in the device and
host disagreeing about shared settings, with complete
failure to communicate as the end result.

The NCM specification require that many of the NCM specific
control reuests are sent only while the NCM Data Interface
is in alternate setting 0. Reverting the commit ensures that
we follow this requirement.

This is harmless but cdc_ncm_setup() returns negative error codes
truncated to u8 values.  There is only one caller and treats all

the code works correctly but it's messy and upsets the static checkers.

a6fe67087d net: cdc_ncm: no not set tx_max higher than the device supports
There are MBIM devices out there reporting

  dwNtbInMaxSize=2048 dwNtbOutMaxSize=2048

and since the spec require a datagram max size of at least
2048, this means that a full sized datagram will never fit.

Still, sending larger NTBs than the device supports is not
going to help.  We do not have any other options than either
 a) refusing to bindi, or
 b) respect the insanely low value.

Alternative b will at least make these devices work, so go
for it.
