2017-06-16networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointersJohannes Berg
It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - fn(SKB, LEN)[0] + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

2017-06-16networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()Johannes Berg
There were many places that my previous spatch didn't find, as pointed out by yuan linyu in various patches. The following spatch found many more and also removes the now unnecessary casts: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len; expression skb; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); ) ... when != p ( p2 = (t2)p; -memset(p2, 0, len); | -memset(p, 0, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb; @@ t *p; ...

2016-10-20net/ncsi: Choose hot channel as active one if necessaryGavin Shan
The issue was found on BCM5718 which has two NCSI channels in one package: C0 and C1. C0 is in link-up state while C1 is in link-down state. C0 is chosen as active channel until unplugging and plugging C0's cable: On unplugging C0's cable, LSC (Link State Change) AEN packet received on C0 to report link-down event. After that, C1 is chosen as active channel. LSC AEN for link-up event is lost on C0 when plugging C0's cable back. We lose the network even C0 is usable. This resolves the issue by recording the (hot) channel that was ever chosen as active one. The hot channel is chosen to be active one if none of available channels in link-up state. With this, C0 is still the active one after unplugging C0's cable. LSC AEN packet received on C0 when plugging its cable back.

2016-10-20net/ncsi: Fix stale link state of inactive channels on failoverGavin Shan
The issue was found on BCM5718 which has two NCSI channels in one package: C0 and C1. Both of them are connected to different LANs, means they are in link-up state and C0 is chosen as the active one until resetting BCM5718 happens as below. Resetting BCM5718 results in LSC (Link State Change) AEN packet received on C0, meaning LSC AEN is missed on C1. When LSC AEN packet received on C0 to report link-down, it fails over to C1 because C1 is in link-up state as software can see. However, C1 is in link-down state in hardware. It means the link state is out of synchronization between hardware and software, resulting in inappropriate channel (C1) selected as active one. This resolves the issue by sending separate GLS (Get Link Status) commands to all channels in the package before trying to do failover. The last link states of all channels in the package are retrieved. With it, C0 (not C1) is selected as active one as expected.

2016-10-20net/ncsi: Avoid if statements in ncsi_suspend_channel()Gavin Shan
There are several if/else statements in the state machine implemented by switch/case in ncsi_suspend_channel() to avoid duplicated code. It makes the code a bit hard to be understood. This drops if/else statements in ncsi_suspend_channel() to improve the code readability as Joel Stanley suggested. Also, it becomes easy to add more states in the state machine without affecting current code. No logical changes introduced by this.

2016-10-04net/ncsi: Introduce ncsi_stop_dev()Gavin Shan
This introduces ncsi_stop_dev(), as counterpart to ncsi_start_dev(), to stop the NCSI device so that it can be reenabled in future. This API should be called when the network device driver is going to shutdown the device. There are 3 things done in the function: Stop the channel monitoring; Reset channels to inactive state; Report NCSI link down.

2016-10-04net/ncsi: Rework the channel monitoringGavin Shan
The original NCSI channel monitoring was implemented based on a backoff algorithm: the GLS response should be received in the specified interval. Otherwise, the channel is regarded as dead and failover should be taken if current channel is an active one. There are several problems in the implementation: (A) On BCM5718, we found when the IID (Instance ID) in the GLS command packet changes from 255 to 1, the response corresponding to IID#1 never comes in. It means we cannot make the unfair judgement that the channel is dead when one response is missed. (B) The code's readability should be improved. (C) We should do failover when current channel is active one and the channel monitoring should be marked as disabled before doing failover. This reworks the channel monitoring to address all above issues. The fields for channel monitoring is put into separate struct and the state of channel monitoring is predefined. The channel is regarded alive if the network controller responses to one of two GLS commands or both of them in 5 seconds.

2016-10-04net/ncsi: Allow to extend NCSI request propertiesGavin Shan
There is only one NCSI request property for now: the response for the sent command need drive the workqueue or not. So we had one field (@driven) for the purpose. We lost the flexibility to extend NCSI request properties. This replaces @driven with @flags and @req_flags in NCSI request and NCSI command argument struct. Each bit of the newly introduced field can be used for one property. No functional changes introduced.

2016-10-04net/ncsi: Rework request index allocationGavin Shan
The NCSI request index (struct ncsi_request::id) is put into instance ID (IID) field while sending NCSI command packet. It was designed the available IDs are given in round-robin fashion. @ndp->request_id was introduced to represent the next available ID, but it has been used as number of successively allocated IDs. It breaks the round-robin design. Besides, we shouldn't put 0 to NCSI command packet's IID field, meaning ID#0 should be reserved according section 6.3.1.1 in NCSI spec (v1.1.0). This fixes above two issues. With it applied, the available IDs will be assigned in round-robin fashion and ID#0 won't be assigned.

2016-10-04net/ncsi: Avoid unused-value build warning from ia64-linux-gccGavin Shan
xchg() is used to set NCSI channel's state in order for consistent access to the state. xchg()'s return value should be used. Otherwise, one build warning will be raised (with -Wunused-value) as below message indicates. It is reported by ia64-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.9.0. net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_channel_monitor': arch/ia64/include/uapi/asm/cmpxchg.h:56:2: warning: value computed is \ not used [-Wunused-value] ((__typeof__(*(ptr))) __xchg((unsigned long) (x), (ptr), sizeof(*(ptr)))) ^ net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:202:3: note: in expansion of macro 'xchg' xchg(&nc->state, NCSI_CHANNEL_INACTIVE); This removes the atomic access to NCSI channel's state avoid the above build warning.

2016-07-25net/ncsi: avoid maybe-uninitialized warningArnd Bergmann
gcc-4.9 and higher warn about the newly added NSCI code: net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c: In function 'ncsi_process_next_channel': net/ncsi/ncsi-manage.c:1003:2: error: 'old_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] The warning is a false positive and therefore harmless, but it would be good to avoid it anyway. I have determined that the barrier in the spin_unlock_irqsave() is what confuses gcc to the point that it cannot track whether the variable was unused or not. This rearranges the code in a way that makes it obvious to gcc that old_state is always initialized at the time of use, functionally this should not change anything.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: Package and channel managementGavin Shan
This manages NCSI packages and channels: * The available packages and channels are enumerated in the first time of calling ncsi_start_dev(). The channels' capabilities are probed in the meanwhile. The NCSI network topology won't change until the NCSI device is destroyed. * There in a queue in every NCSI device. The element in the queue, channel, is waiting for configuration (bringup) or suspending (teardown). The channel's state (inactive/active) indicates the futher action (configuration or suspending) will be applied on the channel. Another channel's state (invisible) means the requested action is being applied. * The hardware arbitration will be enabled if all available packages and channels support it. All available channels try to provide service when hardware arbitration is enabled. Otherwise, one channel is selected as the active one at once. * When channel is in active state, meaning it's providing service, a timer started to retrieve the channe's link status. If the channel's link status fails to be updated in the determined period, the channel is going to be reconfigured. It's the error handling implementation as defined in NCSI spec.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: Resource managementGavin Shan
NCSI spec (DSP0222) defines several objects: package, channel, mode, filter, version and statistics etc. This introduces the data structs to represent those objects and implement functions to manage them. Also, this introduces CONFIG_NET_NCSI for the newly implemented NCSI stack. * The user (e.g. netdev driver) dereference NCSI device by "struct ncsi_dev", which is embedded to "struct ncsi_dev_priv". The later one is used by NCSI stack internally. * Every NCSI device can have multiple packages simultaneously, up to 8 packages. It's represented by "struct ncsi_package" and identified by 3-bits ID. * Every NCSI package can have multiple channels, up to 32. It's represented by "struct ncsi_channel" and identified by 5-bits ID. * Every NCSI channel has version, statistics, various modes and filters. They are represented by "struct ncsi_channel_version", "struct ncsi_channel_stats", "struct ncsi_channel_mode" and "struct ncsi_channel_filter" separately. * Apart from AEN (Asynchronous Event Notification), the NCSI stack works in terms of command and response.
