net: revert partially applied PHY topology series

2024-05-14T01:35:02Z

The series is causing issues with PHY drivers built as modules. Since it was only partially applied and the merge window has opened let's revert and try again for v6.11. Revert 6916e461e793 ("net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation") Revert 0ec5ed6c130e ("net: sfp: pass the phy_device when disconnecting an sfp module's PHY") Revert e75e4e074c44 ("net: phy: add helpers to handle sfp phy connect/disconnect") Revert fdd353965b52 ("net: sfp: Add helper to return the SFP bus name") Revert 841942bc6212 ("net: ethtool: Allow passing a phy index for some commands") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/171242462917.4000.9759453824684907063.git-patchwork-notify@kernel.org/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240507102822.2023826-1-maxime.chevallier@bootlin.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240513154156.104281-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: Protect dev->name by seqlock.

2024-05-02T01:37:07Z

We will convert ioctl(SIOCGARP) to RCU, and then we need to copy dev->name which is currently protected by rtnl_lock(). This patch does the following: 1) Add seqlock netdev_rename_lock to protect dev->name 2) Add netdev_copy_name() that copies dev->name to buffer under netdev_rename_lock 3) Use netdev_copy_name() in netdev_get_name() and drop devnet_rename_sem Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet Link: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CANn89iJEWs7AYSJqGCUABeVqOCTkErponfZdT5kV-iD=-SajnQ@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Kuniyuki Iwashima Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240430015813.71143-7-kuniyu@amazon.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: create a dummy net_device allocator

2024-04-24T11:00:16Z

It is impossible to use init_dummy_netdev together with alloc_netdev() as the 'setup' argument. This is because alloc_netdev() initializes some fields in the net_device structure, and later init_dummy_netdev() memzero them all. This causes some problems as reported here: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240322082336.49f110cc@kernel.org/ Split the init_dummy_netdev() function in two. Create a new function called init_dummy_netdev_core() that does not memzero the net_device structure. Then have init_dummy_netdev() memzero-ing and calling init_dummy_netdev_core(), keeping the old behaviour. init_dummy_netdev_core() is the new function that could be called as an argument for alloc_netdev(). Also, create a helper to allocate and initialize dummy net devices, leveraging init_dummy_netdev_core() as the setup argument. This function basically simplify the allocation of dummy devices, by allocating and initializing it. Freeing the device continue to be done through free_netdev() Suggested-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Reviewed-by: Ido Schimmel Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: phy: Introduce ethernet link topology representation

2024-04-06T17:25:14Z

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.

netdevice: add DEFINE_FREE() for dev_put

net: rps: move received_rps field to a better location

2024-04-01T10:28:32Z

Commit 14d898f3c1b3 ("dev: Move received_rps counter next to RPS members in softnet data") was unfortunate: received_rps is dirtied by a cpu and never read by other cpus in fast path. Its presence in the hot RPS cache line (shared by many cpus) is hurting RPS/RFS performance. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net: rps: change input_queue_tail_incr_save()

2024-04-01T10:28:32Z

input_queue_tail_incr_save() is incrementing the sd queue_tail and save it in the flow last_qtail. Two issues here : - no lock protects the write on last_qtail, we should use appropriate annotations. - We can perform this write after releasing the per-cpu backlog lock, to decrease this lock hold duration (move away the cache line miss) Also move input_queue_head_incr() and rps helpers to include/net/rps.h, while adding rps_ prefix to better reflect their role. v2: Fixed a build issue (Jakub and kernel build bots) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.

net: make softnet_data.dropped an atomic_t

2024-04-01T10:28:32Z

If under extreme cpu backlog pressure enqueue_to_backlog() has to drop a packet, it could do this without dirtying a cache line and potentially slowing down the target cpu. Move sd->dropped into a separate cache line, and make it atomic. In non pressure mode, this field is not touched, no need to consume valuable space in a hot cache line.
