devlink: Add 'control' trap type

2020-06-01T18:49:23Z

This type is used for traps that trap control packets such as ARP request and IGMP query to the CPU. Do not report such packets to the kernel's drop monitor as they were not dropped by the device no encountered an exception during forwarding.

devlink: Add 'mirror' trap action

2020-06-01T18:49:23Z

The action is used by control traps such as IGMP query. The packet is flooded by the device, but also trapped to the CPU in order for the software bridge to mark the receiving port as a multicast router port. Such packets are marked with 'skb->offload_fwd_mark = 1' in order to prevent the software bridge from flooding them again. Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.

devlink: Add packet trap policers support

2020-03-31T00:54:58Z

Devices capable of offloading the kernel's datapath and perform functions such as bridging and routing must also be able to send (trap) specific packets to the kernel (i.e., the CPU) for processing. For example, a device acting as a multicast-aware bridge must be able to trap IGMP membership reports to the kernel for processing by the bridge module. In most cases, the underlying device is capable of handling packet rates that are several orders of magnitude higher compared to those that can be handled by the CPU. Therefore, in order to prevent the underlying device from overwhelming the CPU, devices usually include packet trap policers that are able to police the trapped packets to rates that can be handled by the CPU. This patch allows capable device drivers to register their supported packet trap policers with devlink. User space can then tune the parameters of these policer (currently, rate and burst size) and read from the device the number of packets that were dropped by the policer, if supported. Subsequent patches in the series will allow device drivers to create default binding between these policers and packet trap groups and allow user space to change the binding. v2: * Add 'strict_start_type' in devlink policy * Have device drivers provide max/min rate/burst size for each policer. Use them to check validity of user provided parameters Signed-off-by: Ido Schimmel Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Reviewed-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

devlink: Add auto dump flag to health reporter

2020-03-30T18:17:34Z

On low memory system, run time dumps can consume too much memory. Add administrator ability to disable auto dumps per reporter as part of the error flow handle routine. This attribute is not relevant while executing DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_GET. By default, auto dump is activated for any reporter that has a dump method, as part of the reporter registration to devlink.

devlink: Introduce devlink port flavour virtual

2020-03-03T23:40:40Z

Currently mlx5 PCI PF and VF devlink devices register their ports as physical port in non-representors mode. Introduce a new port flavour as virtual so that virtual devices can register 'virtual' flavour to make it more clear to users. An example of one PCI PF and 2 PCI virtual functions, each having one devlink port. $ devlink port show pci/0000:06:00.0/1: type eth netdev ens2f0 flavour physical port 0 pci/0000:06:00.2/1: type eth netdev ens2f2 flavour virtual port 0 pci/0000:06:00.3/1: type eth netdev ens2f3 flavour virtual port 0 Reviewed-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: Parav Pandit Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S.

devlink: Add method for time-stamp on reporter's dump

2019-11-12T00:04:21Z

When setting the dump's time-stamp, use ktime_get_real in addition to jiffies. This simplifies the user space implementation and bypasses some inconsistent behavior with translating jiffies to current time. The time taken is transformed into nsec, to comply with y2038 issue.

net: devlink: allow to change namespaces during reload

2019-10-04T18:10:56Z

All devlink instances are created in init_net and stay there for a lifetime. Allow user to be able to move devlink instances into namespaces during devlink reload operation. That ensures proper re-instantiation of driver objects, including netdevices. Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
