net: stmmac: visconti: use PHY_INTF_SEL_x to select PHY interface
Convert dwmac-visconti to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions. The
original definitions used constant 0, BIT(0) (==1) and BIT(2) (==4)
to define these, but the values of the bits corresponds with the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x values, so it is highly likely that these are not
individual bits, but the PHY_INTF_SEL_x bitfield.
Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel value. As both configure functions would end up with the
same code, call this from stm32mp1_set_mode(), validate the result and
pass the resulting value into the stm32 configure function. Use this
value to set the operating mode for the DWMAC core.
Rather than defining separate constants for each, use the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions in the switch()es configuring the
control register, and use one FIELD_PREP() to convert phy_intf_sel
to the register value.
net: stmmac: stm32: use PHY_INTF_SEL_x to select PHY interface
Convert dwmac-stm32 to use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x definitions.
For stm32mp1, the original definitions used constant 0 (GMII, 0 << 21),
BIT(21) (RGMII, 1 << 21) and BIT(23) (RMII, 4 << 21) to define these,
but from the values it can be clearly seen that these are the
PHY_INTF_SEL_x inputs to the dwmac.
For stm32mp2, the original definitions cover a bitfield 6:4 in the
SYSCFG Ethernet1 control register (according to documentation) and use
the PHY_INTF_SEL_x values.
Use the common dwmac definitions for the PHY interface selection field
by adding the bitfield mask, and using FIELD_PREP() for the bitfield
values.

Improve the readibility of the code setting ndev->max_mtu. This depends
on the hardware specific maximum defined by the MAC core, and also a
platform provided maximum.
The code was originally checking that the platform specific maximum was
between ndev->min_mtu..MAC core maximum before reducing ndev->max_mtu,
otherwise if the platform specific maximum was less than ndev->min_mtu,
issuing a warning.
Re-order the code to handle the case where the platform specific max is
below ndev->min_mtu, which then means that the subsequent test is
simply reducing ndev->max_mtu.
Update the comment, and add a few blank lines to separate the blocks of

Before having traffic flow through an eswitch, a user may want to have the
ability to block traffic towards the FDB until FDB is fully programmed and the
user is ready to send traffic to it. For example: when two eswitches are present
for vports in a multi-PF setup, one eswitch may take over the traffic from the
other when the user chooses. Before this take over, a user may want to first
program the inactive eswitch and then once ready redirect traffic to this new
eswitch.
This series introduces a user-configurable mode for an eswitch that allows
dynamically switching between active and inactive modes. When inactive, traffic
does not flow through the eswitch. While inactive, steering pipeline
configuration can be done (e.g. adding TC rules, discovering representors,
enabling the desired SDN modes such as bridge/OVS/DPDK/etc). Once configuration
is completed, a user can set the eswitch mode to active and have traffic flow
through. This allows admins to upgrade forwarding pipeline rules with very
minimal downtime and packet drops.
A user can start the eswitch in switchdev or switchdev_inactive mode.
Active: Traffic is enabled on this eswitch FDB.
Inactive: Traffic is ignored/dropped on this eswitch FDB.
An example use case:
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev_inactive
Setup FDB pipeline and netdev representors
...
Once ready to start receiving traffic
$ devlink dev eswitch set pci/0000:08:00.1 mode switchdev

Fix this by storing that information on the VIF sdata and updating the

isdn: kcapi: add WQ_PERCPU to alloc_workqueue users
Currently if a user enqueues a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistency cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.
alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.
This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:
commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")
This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag to explicitly request
alloc_workqueue() to be per-cpu when WQ_UNBOUND has not been specified.
With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.
Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.
This patch series improves the management of the RX buffer length for
the DQO queue format in the gve driver. The goal is to make RX buffer
length config more explicit, easy to change, and performant by default.
We accomplish that in four patches:
1. Currently, the buffer length is implicitly coupled with the header
split setting, which is an unintuitive and restrictive design. The
first patch decouples the RX buffer length from the header split
configuration.
2. The second patch is a preparatory step for third. It converts the XDP
config verification method to use extack for better error reporting.
3. The third patch exposes the `rx_buf_len` parameter to userspace via
ethtool, allowing user to directly view or modify the RX buffer length
if supported by the device.
4. The final patch improves the out-of-the-box RX single stream throughput
by >10% by changing the driver's default behavior to select the
maximum supported RX buffer length advertised by the device during
initialization.

gve: Decouple header split from RX buffer length
Previously, enabling header split via `gve_set_hsplit_config` also
implicitly changed the RX buffer length to 4K (if supported by the
device). This coupled two settings that should be orthogonal; this patch
removes that side effect.
After this change, `gve_set_hsplit_config` only toggles the header
split configuration. The RX buffer length is no longer affected and
must be configured independently.

net: stmmac: ingenic: pass ingenic_mac struct rather than plat_dat
It no longer makes sense to pass a pointer to struct
plat_stmmacenet_data when calling the set_mode() methods to only use it
to get a pointer to the ingenic_mac structure that we already had in
the caller. Simplify this by passing the struct ingenic_mac pointer.
As per the previous commit, we have validated that the phy_intf_sel
value is one that is permissible for this SoC, so there is no need to
handle invalid PHY interface modes. We can also apply the other
configuration based upon the phy_intf_sel value rather than the
PHY interface mode.
x1000, x1600 and x1830 only accept RMII mode. PHY_INTF_SEL_RMII is only
selected with PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RMII, and PHY_INTF_SEL_RMII has been
validated by the SoC's .valid_phy_intf_sel bitmask. Thus, checking the
interface mode in these functions becomes unnecessary. Remove these.
jz4775 is similar, except for a greater set of PHY_INTF_SEL_x valies.
Also remove the switch statement here.
net: stmmac: ingenic: move "MAC PHY control register" debug

net: stmmac: ingenic: use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel()
Use stmmac_get_phy_intf_sel() to decode the PHY interface mode to the
phy_intf_sel value, validate the result against the SoC specific
supported phy_intf_sel values, and pass into the SoC specific
set_mode() methods, replacing the local phy_intf_sel variable. This
provides the value for the MACPHYC_PHY_INFT_MASK field.
Use the PHY_INTF_SEL_x values directly in each of the mac_set_mode
methods rather than the driver private MACPHYC_PHY_INFT_x definitions.
Remove the MACPHYC_PHY_INFT_x definitions.
Such large transmit queues can be problematic, especially for cellular
modems. For example, with a typical celluar link speed of 10 Mbit/s, a
fully occupied USB3 transmit queue results in:
454.80 KB / (10 Mbit/s / 8 bit/byte) = 363.84 ms
of additional latency.
This patch adds support for Byte Queue Limits (BQL) [1] to dynamically
manage the transmit queue size and reduce latency without sacrificing
throughput.
Testing was performed on various devices using the usbnet driver for
packet transmission:
No performance degradation was observed for iperf3 TCP or UDP traffic,
while latency for a prioritized ping application was significantly
reduced. For example, using the USB3 to 2.5 GbE adapter, which was fully
utilized by iperf3 UDP traffic, the prioritized ping was improved from
1.6 ms to 0.6 ms. With the same setup but with a 100 Mbit/s Ethernet
connection, the prioritized ping was improved from 35 ms to 5 ms.

Currently b53 assumes that all switches apart from BCM5325/5365 use the
same ARL formats, but there are actually multiple formats in use.
Older switches use a format apparently introduced with BCM5387/BCM5389,
while newer chips use a format apparently introduced with BCM5395.
Note that these numbers are not linear, BCM5397/BCM5398 use the older
format.
In addition to that the switches integrated into BCM63XX SoCs use their
own format. While accessing these normal read/write ARL entries are the
same format as BCM5389 one, the search format is different.
So in order to support all these different format, split all code
accessing these entries into chip-family specific functions, and collect
them in appropriate arl ops structs to keep the code cleaner.
Sent as net-next since the ARL accesses have never worked before, and
the extensive refactoring might be too much to warrant a fix.

ptp: ocp: Document sysfs output format for backward compatibility
Add a comment to ptp_ocp_tty_show() explaining that the sysfs output
intentionally does not include a trailing newline. This is required for
backward compatibility with existing userspace software that reads the
sysfs attribute and uses the value directly as a device path.
A previous attempt to add a newline to align with common kernel
conventions broke userspace applications that were opening device paths
like "/dev/ttyS4\n" instead of "/dev/ttyS4", resulting in ENOENT errors.
This comment prevents future attempts to "fix" this behavior, which would
break existing userspace applications.
This patch aims to introduce BPF injection capabilities for SMC and
includes a self-test to ensure code stability.
Since the SMC protocol isn't ideal for every situation, especially
short-lived ones, most applications can't guarantee the absence of
such scenarios. Consequently, applications may need specific strategies
to decide whether to use SMC. For example, an application might limit SMC
usage to certain IP addresses or ports.
To maintain the principle of transparent replacement, we want applications
to remain unaffected even if they need specific SMC strategies. In other
words, they should not require recompilation of their code.
Additionally, we need to ensure the scalability of strategy implementation.
While using socket options or sysctl might be straightforward, it could
complicate future expansions.
Fortunately, BPF addresses these concerns effectively. Users can write
their own strategies in eBPF to determine whether to use SMC, and they can
easily modify those strategies in the future.
This is a rework of the series from [1]. Changes since [1] are limited to
the SMC parts:
v2 -> v1:
- Removed the fixes patch, which have already been merged on current branch.
- Fixed compilation warning of smc_call_hsbpf() when CONFIG_SMC_HS_CTRL_BPF
is not enabled.
- Changed the default value of CONFIG_SMC_HS_CTRL_BPF to Y.
- Fix typo and renamed some variables
v3 -> v2:
- Removed the libbpf patch, which have already been merged on current branch.
- Fixed sparse warning of smc_call_hsbpf() and xchg().
v4 -> v3:
- Rebased on latest bpf-next, updated SMC loopback config from SMC_LO to DIBS_LO
per upstream changes.
v5 -> v4:
- Removed the redundant sk parameter from smc_call_hsbpf
- Reject registration when bpf_link is set, link support will be added in the
future.
- Updated selftests with new test heplers.

This patch set continues our work [1] to allow BPF programs and user-space
applications to attach multiple bytes of metadata to packets via the
XDP/skb metadata area.
The focus of this patch set it to ensure that skb metadata remains intact
when packets pass through a chain of TC BPF programs that call helpers
which operate on skb head.
Currently, several helpers that either adjust the skb->data pointer or
reallocate skb->head do not preserve metadata at its expected location,
that is immediately in front of the MAC header. These are:
In TC BPF context, metadata must be moved whenever skb->data changes to
keep the skb->data_meta pointer valid. I don't see any way around
it. Creative ideas how to avoid that would be very welcome.
With that in mind, we can patch the helpers in at least two different ways:
1. Integrate metadata move into header move
Replace the existing memmove, which follows skb_push/pull, with a helper
that moves both headers and metadata in a single call. This avoids an
extra memmove but reduces transparency.
This patch set implements option (1), expecting that "you can have just one
memmove" will be the most obvious feedback, while readability is a,
somewhat subjective, matter of taste, which I don't claim to have ;-)
The structure of the patch set is as follows:
- patches 1-4 prepare ground for safe-proofing the BPF helpers
- patches 5-9 modify the BPF helpers to preserve skb metadata
- patches 10-11 prepare ground for metadata tests with BPF helper calls
- patches 12-16 adapt and expand tests to cover the made changes
Out of scope for this series:
- safe-proofing tunnel & tagging devices - VLAN, GRE, ...
(next in line, in development preview at [2])
- metadata access after packet foward
(to do after Rx path - once metadata reliably reaches sk_filter)
