This is not what's going on, instead {0} is used as a zero initializer
for the structure members, to indicate that the particular chip revision

But since the config tables are declared globally, the unpopulated

net: dsa: qca8k: Improve SGMII interface handling
This 3 patch series migrates the qca8k switch driver over to PHYLINK,
and then adds the SGMII clean-ups (i.e. the missing initialisation) on
top of that as a second patch. The final patch is a simple spelling fix
in a comment.
As before, tested with a device where the CPU connection is RGMII (i.e.
the common current use case) + one where the CPU connection is SGMII. I
don't have any devices where the SGMII interface is brought out to
something other than the CPU.
v5:
- Move spelling fix to separate patch
- Use ds directly rather than ds->priv
v4:
- Enable pcs_poll so we keep phylink updated when doing in-band
negotiation
- Explicitly check for PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_1000BASEX when setting SGMII
port mode.
- Address Vladimir's review comments

This patch improves the handling of the SGMII interface on the QCA8K
devices. Previously the driver did no configuration of the port, even if
it was selected. We now configure it up in the appropriate
PHY/MAC/Base-X mode depending on what phylink tells us we are connected
to and ensure it is enabled.

bonding: initial support for hardware crypto offload
This is an initial functional implementation for doing pass-through of
hardware encryption from bonding device to capable slaves, in active-backup
bond setups. This was developed and tested using ixgbe-driven Intel x520
interfaces with libreswan and a transport mode connection, primarily using
netperf, with assorted connection failures forced during transmission. The
failover works quite well in my testing, and overall performance is right
on par with offload when running on a bare interface, no bond involved.
Caveats: this is ONLY enabled for active-backup, because I'm not sure
how one would manage multiple offload handles for different devices all
running at the same time in the same xfrm, and it relies on some minor
changes to both the xfrm code and slave device driver code to get things
to behave, and I don't have immediate access to any other hardware that
could function similarly, but the NIC driver changes are minimal and
straight-forward enough that I've included what I think ought to be
enough for mlx5 devices too.
v2: reordered patches, switched (back) to using CONFIG_XFRM_OFFLOAD
to wrap the code additions and wrapped overlooked additions.
v3: rebase w/net-next open, add proper cc list to cover letter
====================
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Currently, this support is limited to active-backup mode, as I'm not sure
about the feasilibity of mapping an xfrm_state's offload handle to
multiple hardware devices simultaneously, and we rely on being able to
pass some hints to both the xfrm and NIC driver about whether or not
they're operating on a slave device.
I've tested this atop an Intel x520 device (ixgbe) using libreswan in
transport mode, succesfully achieving ~4.3Gbps throughput with netperf
(more or less identical to throughput on a bare NIC in this system),
as well as successful failover and recovery mid-netperf.
v2: just use CONFIG_XFRM_OFFLOAD for wrapping, isolate more code with it

devlink: Support get,set mac address of a port function
Currently, ip link set dev <pfndev> vf <vf_num> <param> <value> has
below few limitations.
1. Command is limited to set VF parameters only.
It cannot set the default MAC address for the PCI PF.
2. It can be set only on system where PCI SR-IOV capability exists.
In smartnic based system, eswitch of a NIC resides on a different
embedded cpu which has the VF and PF representors for the SR-IOV
functions of a host system in which this smartnic is plugged-in.
3. It cannot setup the function attributes of sub-function described
in detail in comprehensive RFC [1] and [2].
This series covers the first small part to let user query and set MAC
address (hardware address) of a PCI PF/VF which is represented by
devlink port pcipf, pcivf port flavours respectively.
Whenever a devlink port manages a function connected to a devlink port,
it allows to query and set its hardware address.
Driver implements necessary get/set callback functions if it supports
port function for a given port type.
Patch summary:
Patch-1 Prepares devlink port fill routines for extack
Patch-2 and 3 extended devlink interface to get/set port function
attributes, mainly hardware address to start with.
Patch-2 Extended port dump command to query port function hardware
address
Patch-3 Introduces a command to set the hardware address of a port
function
Patch-4 to 9 refactors and implement devlink callbacks in mlx5_core
driver.
Patch-4 Constify the mac address pointer in set routines
Patch-5 Introduces eswich check helper to use in devlink facing
callbacks
Patch-6 Moves port index, port number conversion routine to eswitch
header file
Patch-7 Implements port function query devlink callback
Patch-8 Refactors mac address setting routine to uniformly use
state_lock
Patch-9 Implements port function set devlink callback

Marvell mvpp2 improvements
This series primarily cleans up mvpp2, but also fixes a left-over from
91a208f218 ("net: phylink: propagate resolved link config via
mac_link_up()").
Patch 1 introduces some port helpers:
mvpp2_port_supports_xlg() - does the port support the XLG MAC
mvpp2_port_supports_rgmii() - does the port support RGMII modes
Patch 2 introduces mvpp2_phylink_to_port(), rather than having repeated
open coding of container_of().
Patch 3 introduces mvpp2_modify(), which reads-modifies-writes a
register - I've converted the phylink specific code to use this
helper.
Patch 4 moves the hardware control of the pause modes from
mvpp2_xlg_config() (which is called via the phylink_config method)

This will be useful to allow busy poll for tunneled traffic. In case of
busy poll for sessions over tunnels, the underlying physical device's
queues need to be polled.
Tunnels schedule NAPI either via netif_rx() for backlog queue or
schedule the gro_cell_poll(). netif_rx() propagates the valid skb->napi_id
to the socket. OTOH, gro_cell_poll() stamps the skb->napi_id again by
calling skb_mark_napi_id() with the tunnel NAPI which is not a busy poll
candidate. This was preventing tunneled traffic to use busy poll. A valid
NAPI ID in the skb indicates it was already marked for busy poll by a
NAPI driver and hence needs to be copied into the socket.

Ocelot/Felix driver cleanup
Some of the code in the mscc felix and ocelot drivers was added while in

First 3 patches are sparse warning fixes.
Patches 4-9 perform some further splitting between mscc_felix,

some code is being moved from the library into just the mscc_ocelot

The ocelot hardware library shouldn't contain too much net_device
specific code, since it is shared with DSA which abstracts that
structure away. So much as much of this code as possible into the
mscc_ocelot driver and outside of the common library.
We're making an exception for MDB and LAG code. That is not yet exported
to DSA, but when it will, most of the code that's already in ocelot.c
will remain there. So, there's no point in moving code to ocelot_net.c
just to move it back later.
We could have moved all net_device code to ocelot_vsc7514.c directly,

driver gets added, it'll define its SoC-specific stuff in a new

during the lookup operations. Currently, there is no mechanism that avoids
creating multiple VRFs sharing the same routing table. In other words, it is not
possible to force a one-to-one relationship between a specific VRF and the table
associated with it.
The "strict mode" imposes that each VRF can be associated to a routing table
only if such routing table is not already in use by any other VRF.
In particular, the strict mode ensures that:
1) given a specific routing table, the VRF (if exists) is uniquely identified;
2) given a specific VRF, the related table is not shared with any other VRF.
Constraints (1) and (2) force a one-to-one relationship between each VRF and the
corresponding routing table.
The strict mode feature is designed to be network-namespace aware and it can be
directly enabled/disabled acting on the "strict_mode" parameter.
Read and write operations are carried out through the classic sysctl command on
net.vrf.strict_mode path, i.e: sysctl -w net.vrf.strict_mode=1.
Only two distinct values {0,1} are accepted by the strict_mode parameter:
- with strict_mode=0, multiple VRFs can be associated with the same table.
This is the (legacy) default kernel behavior, the same that we experience
when the strict mode patch set is not applied;
- with strict_mode=1, the one-to-one relationship between the VRFs and the
associated tables is guaranteed. In this configuration, the creation of a VRF
which refers to a routing table already associated with another VRF fails and
the error is returned to the user.
The kernel keeps track of the associations between a VRF and the routing table
during the VRF setup, in the "management" plane. Therefore, the strict mode does
not impact the performance or the intrinsic functionality of the data plane in
any way.
When the strict mode is active it is always possible to disable the strict mode,
while the reverse operation is not always allowed.
Setting the strict_mode parameter to 0 is equivalent to removing the one-to-one
constraint between any single VRF and its associated routing table.
Conversely, if the strict mode is disabled and there are multiple VRFs that
refer to the same routing table, then it is prohibited to set the strict_mode
parameter to 1. In this configuration, any attempt to perform the operation will
lead to an error and it will be reported to the user.
To enable strict mode once again (by setting the strict_mode parameter to 1),
you must first remove all the VRFs that share common tables.
There are several use cases which can take advantage from the introduction of
the strict mode feature. In particular, the strict mode allows us to:
i) guarantee the proper functioning of some applications which deal with
routing protocols;
ii) perform some tunneling decap operations which require to use specific
routing tables for segregating and forwarding the traffic.
Considering (i), the creation of different VRFs that point to the same table
leads to the situation where two different routing entities believe they have
exclusive access to the same table. This leads to the situation where different
routing daemons can conflict for gaining routes control due to overlapping
tables. By enabling strict mode it is possible to prevent this situation which
often occurs due to incorrect configurations done by the users.
The ability to enable/disable the strict mode functionality does not depend on
the tool used for configuring the networking. In essence, the strict mode patch
solves, at the kernel level, what some other patches [1] had tried to solve at
the userspace level (using only iproute2) with all the related problems.
Considering (ii), the introduction of the strict mode functionality allows us
implementing the SRv6 End.DT4 behavior. Such behavior terminates a SR tunnel and
it forwards the IPv4 traffic according to the routes present in the routing
table supplied during the configuration. The SRv6 End.DT4 can be realized
exploiting the routing capabilities made available by the VRF infrastructure.
This behavior could leverage a specific VRF for forcing the traffic to be
forwarded in accordance with the routes available in the VRF table.
Anyway, in order to make the End.DT4 properly work, it must be guaranteed that
the table used for the route lookup operations is bound to one and only one VRF.
In this way, it is possible to use the table for uniquely retrieving the
associated VRF and for routing packets.
I would like to thank David Ahern for his constant and valuable support during
the design and development phases of this patch set.
Comments, suggestions and improvements are very welcome!
