Or says: ================ mlx5 neigh update This series (whose code name is 'neigh update') from Hadar, enhances the mlx5 TC IP tunnel offloads to deal with changes to tunnel destination neighbours used in offloaded flows which involved encapsulation. In order to keep track on the validity state of such neighbours, we register a netevent notifier callback and act on NEIGH_UPDATE events: if a neighbour becomes valid, offload the related flows to HW (the other way around when neigh becomes invalid) and similarly when a neigh mac addresses changes. Since this traffic is offloaded from the host OS, the neighbour for the IP tunnel destination can mistakenly become STALE and deleted by the kernel since its 'used' value wasn't changed. To address that, we proactively update the neighbour 'used' value every DELAY_PROBE_TIME seconds, using time stamps generated by the existing driver code for HW flow counters. We use the DELAY_PROBE_TIME_UPDATE event to adjust the frequency of the updates. Prior to the core of the series, there's a patch from Saeed that introduces an extendable vport representor implementation scheme. It provides a separation between the eswitch to the netdev related aspects of the representors. We would like to thank Ido Schimmel and Ilya Lesokhin for their coaching && advice through the long design and review cycles while we struggled to understand and (hopefully correctly) implement the locking around the different driver flows(..) . - Or. ================= Misc Updates: From Tariq: Some small performance and trivial code optimization for mlx5 netdev driver - Optimize poll ICOSQ completion queue - Use prefetchw when a write is to follow - Use u8 as ownership type in mlx5e_get_cqe() From Eran: - Disable LRO by default on specific setups From Eli: - Small cleanup for E-Switch to avoid redundant allocation Thanks, Saeed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAABAgAGBQJZBeGlAAoJEEg/ir3gV/o+AuMH/2OfS+diXrTMU90tQGfucurg cPuv2qSGzSzcyFOjMUKL/hgj+y8HcUNZVSqts/LPhUj5CbR8On2jo/3XZb405SMX 1eAffpD5JxDGm4xQCADwkDMRVOuWNbXlTceRMbD+8vDtboTDEZwbaXX20En6MIEW qcQPX0wv7/u8VpxGlhch2RRvl7+zBhhGCLNpwzkE5K+RggIPguE+F2hLpm+SH9PD AOHSuwGWnE40In8dZIPqsEnUsmsC9LmUQ17ip8S8dEtGDHMvwDelsKGZcRGMuwoz wSxpVTWn5JaU0EwN0t+rYtERFH18SqboG3OFwqb27qtRns6ALXIx3Dj1bb9sVBo= =3qOg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'mlx5-updates-2017-04-30' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/saeed/linux mlx5-updates-2017-04-30 Or says: ================ mlx5 neigh update This series (whose code name is 'neigh update') from Hadar, enhances the mlx5 TC IP tunnel offloads to deal with changes to tunnel destination neighbours used in offloaded flows which involved encapsulation.
