[net-next PATCH 0/3] ixgbe: Fix FDB handling

[Alexander Duyck]

This patch series addresses a number of issues in the FDB handling code of
the ixgbe driver.  Specifically there were 3 issues.

1.  The addresses were being allocated but not freed from the MAC address
tables.  As a result cycling in and out various addresses would end up
exhausing the table.

2.  The entries weren't being counted correclty and as a result only half
of the MAC address entries could be used at any given point in time.

3.  The FDB entries were being limited to only 15 while there were 126
RAL/H entries available.

With this patch series in place it is possible ot maintain a decent sized
set of FDB entries and they can cycle in and out without incurring any
heavy cost as previously seen.

[net-next PATCH 1/3] ixgbe: Refactor MAC address configuration code

[Alexander Duyck]

In the process of tracking down a memory leak when adding/removing fdb
entries I had to go through the MAC address configuration code for ixgbe.
In the process of doing so I found a number of issues that impacted
readability and performance.  This change updates the code in general to
clean it up so it becomes clear what each step is doing.  From what I can
tell there a couple of bugs cleaned up in this code.

First is the fact that the MAC addresses were being double counted for the
PF.  As a result once entries up to 63 had been used you could no longer
add additional filters.

A simple test case for this:
  for i in `seq 0 96`
  do
    ip link add link ens8 name mv$i type macvlan
    ip link set dev mv$i up
  done

Test script:
  ethregs -s 0:8.0 | grep -e "RAH" | grep 8000....$

When things are working correctly RAL/H registers 1 - 97 will be consumed.
In the failing case it will stop at 63 and prevent any further filters from
being added.

[net-next PATCH 2/3] ixgbe: Use __dev_uc_sync and __dev_uc_unsync for unicast addresses

[Alexander Duyck]

This change replaces the ixgbe_write_uc_addr_list call in ixgbe_set_rx_mode
with a call to __dev_uc_sync instead.  This works much better with the MAC
addr list code that was already in place and solves an issue in which you
couldn't remove an fdb address without having to reset the port.

[net-next PATCH 3/3] ixgbe: Allow FDB entries access to more RAR filters

[Alexander Duyck]

This change makes it so that we allow the PF to make use of all free RAR
entries for FDB use if needed.

Previously the code limited us to 16 unicast entries, however this was
shared between MACVLAN which wasn't limited and the FDB code which was.  So
instead of treating the FDB code as a second class citizen I have updated
it so that it has access to just as many entries as the MACVLAN filters.

Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [net-next PATCH 1/3] ixgbe: Refactor MAC address configuration code

In the process of tracking down a memory leak when adding/removing fdb entries I had to go through the MAC address configuration code for ixgbe.
In the process of doing so I found a number of issues that impacted readability and performance.  This change updates the code in general to clean it up so it becomes clear what each step is doing.  From what I can tell there a couple of bugs cleaned up in this code.

First is the fact that the MAC addresses were being double counted for the PF.  As a result once entries up to 63 had been used you could no longer add additional filters.

A simple test case for this:
  for i in `seq 0 96`
  do
    ip link add link ens8 name mv$i type macvlan
    ip link set dev mv$i up
  done

Test script:
  ethregs -s 0:8.0 | grep -e "RAH" | grep 8000....$

When things are working correctly RAL/H registers 1 - 97 will be consumed.
In the failing case it will stop at 63 and prevent any further filters from being added.

Why add an internal function that always returns 0?
Rather than making it void.

Because the function pointer is passed to the __dev_uc_sync call and it 
requires a return value on the unsync function.  Basically if we 
returned an error it would delay flushing the address from the device 
until we could complete the call successfully, or __dev_uc_unsysnc was 
called without a function pointer.
