Merge branch 'Add-packet-trap-policers-support'
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Add packet trap policers support Background ========== 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. Motivation ========== 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. Proposed solution ================= This patch set allows capable device drivers to register their supported packet trap policers with devlink. User space can then tune the parameters of these policers (currently, rate and burst size) and read from the device the number of packets that were dropped by the policer, if supported. These packet trap policers can then be bound to existing packet trap groups, which are used to aggregate logically related packet traps. As a result, trapped packets are policed to rates that can be handled the host CPU. Example usage ============= Instantiate netdevsim: Dump available packet trap policers: netdevsim/netdevsim10: policer 1 rate 1000 burst 128 policer 2 rate 2000 burst 256 policer 3 rate 3000 burst 512 Change the parameters of a packet trap policer: Bind a packet trap policer to a packet trap group: Dump parameters and statistics of a packet trap policer: netdevsim/netdevsim10: policer 3 rate 100 burst 16 stats: rx: dropped 92 Unbind a packet trap policer from a packet trap group: Patch set overview ================== Patch #1 adds the core infrastructure in devlink which allows capable device drivers to register their supported packet trap policers with devlink. Patch #2 extends the existing devlink-trap documentation. Patch #3 extends netdevsim to register a few dummy packet trap policers with devlink. Used later on to selftests the core infrastructure. Patches #4-#5 adds infrastructure in devlink to allow binding of packet trap policers to packet trap groups. Patch #6 extends netdevsim to allow such binding. Patch #7 adds a selftest over netdevsim that verifies the core devlink-trap policers functionality. Patches #8-#14 gradually add devlink-trap policers support in mlxsw. Patch #15 adds a selftest over mlxsw. All registered packet trap policers are verified to handle the configured rate and burst size. Future plans ============ * Allow changing default association between packet traps and packet trap groups * Add more packet traps. For example, for control packets (e.g., IGMP) v3: * Rebase v2 (address comments from Jiri and Jakub): * Patch #1: Add 'strict_start_type' in devlink policy * Patch #1: Have device drivers provide max/min rate/burst size for each policer. Use them to check validity of user provided parameters * Patch #3: Remove check about burst size being a power of 2 and instead add a debugfs knob to fail the operation * Patch #3: Provide max/min rate/burst size when registering policers and remove the validity checks from nsim_dev_devlink_trap_policer_set() * Patch #5: Check for presence of 'DEVLINK_ATTR_TRAP_POLICER_ID' in devlink_trap_group_set() and bail if not present * Patch #5: Add extack error message in case trap group was partially modified * Patch #7: Add test case with new 'fail_trap_policer_set' knob * Patch #7: Add test case for partially modified trap group * Patch #10: Provide max/min rate/burst size when registering policers * Patch #11: Remove the max/min validity checks from __mlxsw_sp_trap_policer_set() ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
