====================
pull-request: can-next 2016-06-17
this is a pull request of 14 patches for net-next/master.
Geert Uytterhoeven contributes a patch that adds a file patterns for
CAN device tree bindings to MAINTAINERS. A patch by Alexander Aring
fixes warnings when building without proc support. A patch by me
improves the sample point calculation. Marek Vasut's patch converts
the slcan driver to use CAN_MTU. A patch by William Breathitt Gray
converts the tscan1 driver to use module_isa_driver.
Two patches by Maximilian Schneider for the gs_usb driver fix coding
style and add support for set_phys_id callback. 5 patches by Oliver
Hartkopp add support for CANFD to the bcm. And finally two patches
by Ramesh Shanmugasundaram, which add support for the rcar_canfd
driver.

There is no reason in rx_descs property because davinici_cpdma
driver splits pool of descriptors equally between tx and rx channels.
That is, if number of descriptors 256, 128 of them are for rx
channels. While receiving, the descriptor is freed to the pool and
then allocated with new skb. And if in DT the "rx_descs" is set to
64, then 128 - 64 = 64 descriptors are always in the pool and cannot
be used, for tx, for instance. It's not correct resource usage,
better to set it to half of pool, then the rx pool can be used in
full. It will not have any impact on performance, as anyway, the
"redundant" descriptors were unused.

net: vrf: Fix ipv6 source address selection
IPv6 address selection is currently messed up for several use cases such
as unnumbered deployments with global addresses on the VRF device and none
on the enslaved devices.
Update the source address selection to consider the real output route as
opposed to the VRF route that sends packets to the VRF device first (ie.,
implement get_saddr6 similar to the IPv4 method) and update the IPv6
address selection to consider L3 domains and preference for addresses on
the VRF device).

consider devices in L3 domain") and the follow up commit, a17b693cdd876
("net: l3mdev: prefer VRF master for source address selection").
That is, if outbound device is given then the address preference order
is an address from that device, an address from the master device if it
is enslaved, and then an address from a device in the same L3 domain.

IPv6 source address selection needs to consider the real egress route.
Similar to IPv4 implement a get_saddr6 method which is called if
source address has not been set. The get_saddr6 method does a full
lookup which means pulling a route from the VRF FIB table and properly
considering linklocal/multicast destination addresses. Lookup failures
(eg., unreachable) then cause the source address selection to fail
which gets propagated back to the caller.

VRF driver needs access to ip6_route_get_saddr code. Since it does
little beyond ipv6_dev_get_saddr and ipv6_dev_get_saddr is already
exported for modules move ip6_route_get_saddr to the header as an

====================
Future-proof tunnel offload handlers
These patches are meant to address two things. First we are currently
using the ndo_add/del_vxlan_port calls with VXLAN-GPE tunnels and we
cannot really support that as it is likely to cause more harm than
good since VXLAN-GPE can support tunnels without a MAC address on the
inner header.
As such we need to add a new offload to advertise this, but in doing so it
would mean introducing 3 new functions for the driver to request the ports,
and then for the tunnel to push the changes to add and delete the ports to
the device. However instead of taking that approach I think it would be
much better if we just made one common function for fetching the ports, and
provided a generic means to push the tunnels to the device. So in order to
make this work this patch set does several things.
First it merges the existing VXLAN and GENEVE functionality into one set of
functions and passes an enum in order to specify the type of tunnel we want
to offload. By doing this we only have to extend this enum in the future
if we want to add additional types.
Second it goes through the drivers replacing all of the tunnel specific
offload calls with implementations that support the generic calls so that
we can drop the VXLAN and GENEVE specific calls entirely.
Finally I go through in the last patch and replace the VXLAN specific
offload request that was being used for VXLAN-GPE with one that specifies
if we want to offload VXLAN or VXLAN-GPE so that the hardware can decide if
it can actually support it or not.
I also ended up with some minor clean-up built into the driver patches for
this. Most of it is to either fix misuse of build flags, specifying a type
to ignore instead of the type that should be used, or in the case of ixgbe
I actually moved a rtnl_lock/unlock in order to avoid taking it unless it
was actually needed.
v2:
I did my best to remove the word "offload" from any of the calls or
notifiers as this isn't really an offload. It
is a workaround for the fact that the drivers don't provide basic features
like CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. I also added a disclaimer to the section defining
the function prototypes explaining that these are essentially workarounds.
I ended up going through and stripping all of the VXLAN and GENEVE build
flags from the drivers. There isn't much point in carrying them. In
addition I dropped the use of the vxlan.h or geneve.h header files in favor
of udp_tunnel.h in the cases where a driver didn't need anything from
either of those headers.
I updated the tunnel add/del functions so that they pass a udp_tunnel_info
structure instead of a list of arguments. This way we should be able to
add additional information in the future with little impact on the other
drivers.
I updated bnxt so that it doesn't use a hard-coded port number for GENEVE.
I have been able to test mlx4e, mlx5e, and i40e and verified functionality
on these drivers. Though there are patches for the net tree I submitted
due to unrelated bugs I found in the mlx4e and i40e/i40evf drivers.
v3:
Fixed a typo that caused us to add geneve port when we should have been
deleting it.
Ended up dropping geneve and vxlan wrappers for
udp_tunnel_notify_rx_add/del_port and instead just called them directly.
Updated comments for functions to call out RTNL instead of port lock.
Updated patch description to remove changes that were moved into a second
patch.
Rebased on latest net-next to fix merge conflict on bnxt driver.

The fact is VXLAN with Generic Protocol Extensions cannot be supported by
the same hardware parsers that support VXLAN. The protocol extensions
allow for things like a Next Protocol field which in turn allows for things
other than Ethernet to be passed over the tunnel. Most existing parsers
will not know how to interpret this.
To resolve this I am giving VXLAN-GPE its own UDP encapsulation offload
type. This way hardware that does support GPE can simply add this type to
the switch statement for VXLAN, and if they don't support it then this will
fix any issues where headers might be interpreted incorrectly.

This patch merges the notifiers for VXLAN and GENEVE into a single UDP
tunnel notifier. The idea is that we will want to only have to make one
notifier call to receive the list of ports for VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels
that need to be offloaded.
In addition we add a new set of ndo functions named ndo_udp_tunnel_add and
ndo_udp_tunnel_del that are meant to allow us to track the tunnel meta-data
such as port and address family as tunnels are added and removed. The
tunnel meta-data is now transported in a structure named udp_tunnel_info
which for now carries the type, address family, and port number. In the
future this could be updated so that we can include a tuple of values
including things such as the destination IP address and other fields.
I also ended up going with a naming scheme that consisted of using the
prefix udp_tunnel on function names. I applied this to the notifier and
ndo ops as well so that it hopefully points to the fact that these are
primarily used in the udp_tunnel functions.

This patch adds support for the CAN FD controller found in Renesas R-Car
SoCs. The controller operates in CAN FD only mode by default.
CAN FD mode supports both Classical CAN & CAN FD frame formats. The
controller supports ISO 11898-1:2015 CAN FD format only.
This controller supports two channels and the driver can enable either
or both of the channels.
Driver uses Rx FIFOs (one per channel) for reception & Common FIFOs (one
per channel) for transmission. Rx filter rules are configured to the
minimum (one per channel) and it accepts Standard, Extended, Data &
Remote Frame combinations.
Note: There are few documentation errors in R-Car Gen3 Hardware User
Manual v0.5E with respect to CAN FD controller. They are listed below:
1. CAN FD interrupt numbers 29 & 30 are listed as per channel
interrupts. However, they are common to both channels (i.e.) they are
global and channel interrupts respectively.
2. CANFD clock is derived from PLL1. This is not documented.
3. CANFD clock is further divided by (1/2) within the CAN FD controller.
This is not documented.
4. The minimum value of NTSEG1 in RSCFDnCFDCmNCFG register is 2 Tq. It
is specified 4 Tq in the manual.
5. The maximum number of message RAM area the controller can use is 3584
bytes. It is specified 10752 bytes in the manual.

The programming API of the CAN_BCM depends on struct can_frame which is
given as array directly behind the bcm_msg_head structure. To follow this
schema for the CAN FD frames a new flag 'CAN_FD_FRAME' in the bcm_msg_head
flags indicates that the concatenated CAN frame structures behind the
bcm_msg_head are defined as struct canfd_frame.
This patch adds the support to handle CAN and CAN FD frames on a per BCM-op
base. Main changes:
- generally use struct canfd_frames instead if struct can_frames
- use canfd_frame.flags instead of can_frame.can_dlc for private BCM flags
- make all CAN frame sizes depending on the new CAN_FD_FRAME flags
- separate between CAN and CAN FD when sending/receiving frames
Due to the dependence of the CAN_FD_FRAME flag the former binary interface
for classic CAN frames remains stable.

This patch optimizes the calculation of the sample point. To understand what it
does have a look at the original implementation.
If there is a combination of timing parameters where both the bitrate and
sample point error are 0 the current implementation will find it.
However if the reference clock doesn't allow an optimal bitrate (this means the
bitrate error is always != 0) there might be several timing parameter
combinations having the same bitrate error. The original implementation will
allways choose the one with the highest brp. The actual sample point error
isn't taken into account.
This patch changes the algorithm to minimize the sample point error, too. Now a
brp/tseg combination is accepted as better if one of these condition are
fulfilled:
1) the bit rate error must be smaller, or
2) the bit rate error must be equal and
the sample point error must be equal or smaller
If a smaller bit rate error is found the sample point error is reset. This
ensures that we first optimize for small bit rate error and then for small
sample point errors.

====================
vmxnet3: upgrade to version 3
vmxnet3 emulation has recently added several new features which includes
support for new commands the driver can issue to emulation, change in
descriptor fields etc. This patch series extends the vmxnet3 driver to
leverage these new features.
Compatibility is maintained using existing vmxnet3 versioning mechanism as
follows:
- new features added to vmxnet3 emulation are associated with new vmxnet3
version viz. vmxnet3 version 3.
- emulation advertises all the versions it supports to the driver.
- during initialization, vmxnet3 driver picks the highest version number
supported by both the emulation and the driver and configures emulation
to run at that version.
In particular, following changes are introduced:
Patch 1:
Some command definitions from previous vmxnet3 versions are
missing. This patch adds those definitions before moving to vmxnet3
version 3. It also fixes copyright info and maintained by.
Patch 2:
This patch introduces generalized command interface which allows
for easily adding new commands that vmxnet3 driver can issue to the
emulation. Further patches in this series make use of this facility.
Patch 3:
Transmit data ring buffer is used to copy packet headers or small
packets. It is a fixed size buffer. This patch extends the driver to
allow variable sized transmit data ring buffer.
Patch 4:
This patch introduces receive data ring buffer - a set of small sized
buffers that are always mapped by the emulation. This avoids memory
mapping/unmapping overhead for small packets.
Patch 5:
The vmxnet3 emulation supports a variety of coalescing modes. This patch
extends vmxnet3 driver to allow querying and configuring these modes.
Patch 6:
In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver
to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use
for rx/tx buffers. This patch exposes related commands to the driver.
Patch 7:
With all vmxnet3 version 3 changes incorporated in the vmxnet3 driver,
with this patch, the driver can configure emulation to run at vmxnet3
version 3.
Changes in v2:
- v1 patch used special values of rx-usecs to differentiate between
coalescing modes. v2 uses relevant fields in struct ethtool_coalesce
to choose modes. Also, a new command VMXNET3_CMD_GET_COALESCE
is introduced which allows driver to query the device for default
coalescing configuration.
Changes in v3:
- fix subject line to use vmxnet3: instead of Driver:Vmxnet3
- resubmit when net-next is open
Changes in v4:
- Address code review comments by Ben Hutchings: remove unnecessary memset
from vmxnet3_get_coalesce.
Changes in v5:
- Updated all the patches to add detailed commit messages.

In vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation added support for the vmxnet3 driver
to communicate information about the memory regions the driver will use
for rx/tx buffers. The driver can also indicate which rx/tx queue the
memory region is applicable for. If this information is communicated
to the emulation, the emulation will always keep these memory regions
mapped, thereby avoiding the mapping/unmapping overhead for every packet.
Currently, Linux vmxnet3 driver does not leverage this capability. The
feasibility of using this approach for the Linux vmxnet3 driver will be
investigated independently and if possible, will be part of a different
patch. This patch only exposes the emulation capability to the driver
(vmxnet3_defs.h is identical between the driver and the emulation).

The emulation supports a variety of coalescing modes viz. disabled
(no coalescing), adaptive, static (number of packets to batch before
raising an interrupt), rate based (number of interrupts per second).
This patch implements get_coalesce and set_coalesce methods to allow
querying and configuring different coalescing modes.

vmxnet3 driver preallocates buffers for receiving packets and posts the
buffers to the emulation. In order to deliver a received packet to the
guest, the emulation must map buffer(s) and copy the packet into it.
To avoid this memory mapping overhead, this patch introduces the receive
data ring - a set of small sized buffers that are always mapped by
the emulation. If a packet fits into the receive data ring buffer, the
emulation delivers the packet via the receive data ring (which must be
copied by the guest driver), or else the usual receive path is used.
Receive Data Ring buffer length is configurable via ethtool -G ethX rx-mini

vmxnet3 driver supports transmit data ring viz. a set of fixed size
buffers used by the driver to copy packet headers. Small packets that
fit these buffers are copied into these buffers entirely.
Currently this buffer size of fixed at 128 bytes. This patch extends
transmit data ring implementation to allow variable length transmit
data ring buffers. The length of the buffer is read from the emulation
during initialization.

Shared memory is used to exchange information between the vmxnet3 driver
and the emulation. In order to request emulation to perform a task, the
driver first populates specific fields in this shared memory and then
issues corresponding command by writing to the command register(CMD). The
layout of the shared memory was defined by vmxnet3 version 1 and cannot
be extended for every new command without breaking backward compatibility.
To address this problem, in vmxnet3 version 3, the emulation repurposed
a reserved field in the shared memory to represent command information
instead. For new commands, the driver first populates the command
information field in the shared memory and then issues the command. The
emulation interprets the data written to the command information depending
on the type of the command. This patch exposes this capability to the driver.
