2020-01-10devlink: convert driver-specific files to reStructuredTextJacob Keller
Several drivers document what parameters they support in a devlink-params-*.txt file. This file is supposed to contain both the list of generic parameters implemented by the driver, as well as a list of driver-specific parameters and their descriptions. It would also be good if the driver documentation included other driver-specific implementations, such as info versions, devlink regions, and so forth. Convert all of these documentation files to reStructuredText, and rename them to just the driver name. Future changes will include other driver-specific implementations. Each file will contain a table for the generic parameters implemented, as well as a separate table for the driver-specific parameters. Future sections such as for devlink info versions will be added to these files. This avoids creating additional devlink-<feature>-<driver> files for each devlink feature, reducing clutter in the documentation folder.

2020-01-05net: phylink: add support for polling MAC PCSVladimir Oltean
Some MAC PCS blocks are unable to provide interrupts when their status changes. As we already have support in phylink for polling status, use this to provide a hook for MACs to enable polling mode. The patch idea was picked up from Russell King's suggestion on the macb phylink patch thread here [0] but the implementation was changed. Instead of introducing a new phylink_start_poll() function, which would make the implementation cumbersome for common PHYLINK implementations for multiple types of devices, like DSA, just add a boolean property to the phylink_config structure, which is just as backwards-compatible. https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/16/603 Suggested-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@armlinux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2019-12-27ethtool: netlink bitset handlingMichal Kubecek
The ethtool netlink code uses common framework for passing arbitrary length bit sets to allow future extensions. A bitset can be a list (only one bitmap) or can consist of value and mask pair (used e.g. when client want to modify only some bits). A bitset can use one of two formats: verbose (bit by bit) or compact. Verbose format consists of bitset size (number of bits), list flag and an array of bit nests, telling which bits are part of the list or which bits are in the mask and which of them are to be set. In requests, bits can be identified by index (position) or by name. In replies, kernel provides both index and name. Verbose format is suitable for "one shot" applications like standard ethtool command as it avoids the need to either keep bit names (e.g. link modes) in sync with kernel or having to add an extra roundtrip for string set request (e.g. for private flags). Compact format uses one (list) or two (value/mask) arrays of 32-bit words to store the bitmap(s). It is more suitable for long running applications (ethtool in monitor mode or network management daemons) which can retrieve the names once and then pass only compact bitmaps to save space. Userspace requests can use either format; ETHTOOL_FLAG_COMPACT_BITSETS flag in request header tells kernel which format to use in reply. Notifications always use compact format. As some code uses arrays of unsigned long for internal representation and some arrays of u32 (or even a single u32), two sets of parse/compose helpers are introduced. To avoid code duplication, helpers for unsigned long arrays are implemented as wrappers around helpers for u32 arrays. There are two reasons for this choice: (1) u32 arrays are more frequent in ethtool code and (2) unsigned long array can be always interpreted as an u32 array on little endian 64-bit and all 32-bit architectures while we would need special handling for odd number of u32 words in the opposite direction.

2019-12-09net-tcp: Disable TCP ssthresh metrics cache by defaultKevin(Yudong) Yang
This patch introduces a sysctl knob "net.ipv4.tcp_no_ssthresh_metrics_save" that disables TCP ssthresh metrics cache by default. Other parts of TCP metrics cache, e.g. rtt, cwnd, remain unchanged. As modern networks becoming more and more dynamic, TCP metrics cache today often causes more harm than benefits. For example, the same IP address is often shared by different subscribers behind NAT in residential networks. Even if the IP address is not shared by different users, caching the slow-start threshold of a previous short flow using loss-based congestion control (e.g. cubic) often causes the future longer flows of the same network path to exit slow-start prematurely with abysmal throughput. Caching ssthresh is very risky and can lead to terrible performance. Therefore it makes sense to make disabling ssthresh caching by default and opt-in for specific networks by the administrators. This practice also has worked well for several years of deployment with CUBIC congestion control at Google.

2019-11-23net: phy: remove phy_ethtool_sset()Russell King
There are no users of phy_ethtool_sset() in the kernel anymore, and as of commit 3c1bcc8614db ("net: ethernet: Convert phydev advertize and supported from u32 to link mode"), the implementation is slightly buggy - it doesn't correctly check the masked advertising mask as it used to. Remove it, and update the phy documentation to refer to its replacement function.

Lee, Andre Guedes, Anders Roxell, Mao Wenan, Yue Haibing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mellanox/linux 1) New generic devlink param "enable_roce", for downstream devlink reload support 2) Do vport ACL configuration on per vport basis when enabling/disabling a vport. This enables to have vports enabled/disabled outside of eswitch config for future 3) Split the code for legacy vs offloads mode and make it clear 4) Tide up vport locking and workqueue usage 5) Fix metadata enablement for ECPF 6) Make explicit use of VF property to publish IB_DEVICE_VIRTUAL_FUNCTION 7) E-Switch and flow steering core low level support and refactoring for netfilter flowtables offload Signed-off-by: Saeed Mahameed <saeedm@mellanox.com>
