net: Introduce net_failover driver

2018-05-29T02:59:54+00:00

The net_failover driver provides an automated failover mechanism via APIs to create and destroy a failover master netdev and manages a primary and standby slave netdevs that get registered via the generic failover infrastructure. The failover netdev acts a master device and controls 2 slave devices. The original paravirtual interface gets registered as 'standby' slave netdev and a passthru/vf device with the same MAC gets registered as 'primary' slave netdev. Both 'standby' and 'failover' netdevs are associated with the same 'pci' device. The user accesses the network interface via 'failover' netdev. The 'failover' netdev chooses 'primary' netdev as default for transmits when it is available with link up and running. This can be used by paravirtual drivers to enable an alternate low latency datapath. It also enables hypervisor controlled live migration of a VM with direct attached VF by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

netdevsim: add software driver for testing offloads

2017-12-02T23:27:57+00:00

To be able to run selftests without any hardware required we need a software model. The model can also serve as an example implementation for those implementing actual HW offloads. The dummy driver have previously been extended to test SR-IOV, but the general consensus seems to be against adding further features to it. Add a new driver for purposes of software modelling only. eBPF and SR-IOV will be added here shortly, others are invited to further extend the driver with their offload models.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: Add support for networking over Thunderbolt cable

2017-10-02T18:24:42+00:00

ThunderboltIP is a protocol created by Apple to tunnel IP/ethernet traffic over a Thunderbolt cable. The protocol consists of configuration phase where each side sends ThunderboltIP login packets (the protocol is determined by UUID in the XDomain packet header) over the configuration channel. Once both sides get positive acknowledgment to their login packet, they configure high-speed DMA path accordingly. This DMA path is then used to transmit and receive networking traffic. This patch creates a virtual ethernet interface the host software can use in the same way as any other networking interface. Once the interface is brought up successfully network packets get tunneled over the Thunderbolt cable to the remote host and back. The connection is terminated by sending a ThunderboltIP logout packet over the configuration channel. We do this when the network interface is brought down by user or the driver is unloaded.

net: phy: Allow building mdio-boardinfo into the kernel

2017-03-29T17:32:32+00:00

mdio-boardinfo contains code that is helpful for platforms to register specific MDIO bus devices independent of how CONFIG_MDIO_DEVICE or CONFIG_PHYLIB will be selected (modular or built-in). In order to make that possible, let's do the following: - descend into drivers/net/phy/ unconditionally - make mdiobus_setup_mdiodev_from_board_info() take a callback argument which allows us not to expose the internal MDIO board info list and mutex, yet maintain the logic within the same file - relocate the code that creates a MDIO device into drivers/net/phy/mdio_bus.c - build mdio-boardinfo.o into the kernel as soon as MDIO_DEVICE is defined (y or m) Fixes: 90eff9096c01 ("net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs") Fixes: 648ea0134069 ("net: phy: Allow pre-declaration of MDIO devices") Signed-off-by: Florian Fainelli Tested-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: David S.

net: phy: Allow splitting MDIO bus/device support from PHYs

2017-03-24T19:51:05+00:00

Introduce a new configuration symbol: MDIO_DEVICE which allows building the MDIO devices and bus code, without pulling in the entire Ethernet PHY library and devices code. PHYLIB nows select MDIO_DEVICE and the relevant Makefile files are updated to reflect that. When MDIO_DEVICE (MDIO bus/device only) is selected, but not PHYLIB, we have mdio-bus.ko as a loadable module, and it does not have a module_exit() function because the safety of removing a bus class is unclear. When both MDIO_DEVICE and PHYLIB are enabled, we need to assemble everything into a common loadable module: libphy.ko because of nasty circular dependencies between phy.c, phy_device.c and mdio_bus.c which are really tough to untangle.
