[patch net-next 0/4] net: sched: block callbacks follow-up

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

This patchset does a bit of cleanup of leftovers after block callbacks
patchset. The main part is patch 2, which restores the original handling
of tc offload feature flag.

Jiri Pirko (4):
  net: sched: remove unused tc_should_offload helper
  net: sched: move the can_offload check from binding phase to rule
    insertion phase
  net: sched: remove tc_can_offload check from egdev call
  net: sched: remove ndo_setup_tc check from tc_can_offload

tc_should_offload is no longer used, remove it.

[patch net-next 2/4] net: sched: move the can_offload check from binding phase to rule insertion phase

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@mellanox.com>

This restores the original behaviour before the block callbacks were
introduced. Allow the drivers to do binding of block always, no matter
if the NETIF_F_HW_TC feature is on or off. Move the check to the block
callback which is called for rule insertion.

Could you explain why not add this check to the core?  IIUC every
driver will have to duplicate it if we want to keep the behaviour
of tc offloads we have today.

I agree with Jakub's feedback, if every callback has to make this check
why not just do it in the core where the callback is invoked?

We cannot add it to the core. The idea of the block callbacks is to get
independent of the "dev". For the block sharing, driver registers one
block callback for multiple devs. Core has no access to "dev".

If the plan is to have one block represent multiple devices are we
then looking at the offload flag potentially being tied together for
all those devices then at some point in the future? I assume that
means that this workaround will have to eventually go away for some of
the Mellanox devices since it wouldn't make sense to have a netdev
pointer if the context block supports multiple netdevices. Do I have
that right? If so, is the idea to just assume the offload is always-on
(fixed) or do you have some other idea in mind for how to deal with a
feature that is controlled globally for the device versus a port?

You do.

>(fixed) or do you have some other idea in mind for how to deal with a
>feature that is controlled globally for the device versus a port?

I plan to check the offload feature flag for all ports that share the
block and allow the offload only in case all are on.
Also, there would be forbidden to turn the offload flag off in case
there is at least one offloaded rule for the block. This is how mlx5
does it.

Clearly we draw the line between what should the responsibility of the
driver do and what belongs higher in the stack differently :)

My grep-foo fails me I only see that check in nfp.  I though John
already did that in ixgbe.  And then everyone copied, since it's
sort-of UAPI?  Or at least users may come to expect certain
consistent behaviour.  Same story for phys_port_name for representors,
and OpenStack expect certain names by now.  That copying of behaviour
concerns me, not necessarily multiplication of code.

Jiri, this series does not apply cleanly to net-next.

Also, you should really work out the block offload semantics
with Jakub, continuing the discussion of patch #2.

Thanks.

I have some ideas. I could let driver to enable/disable already
registered callback. Will look at it.

The cb enable disable according to NETIF_F_HW_TC ethtool flag could be
done. It will require some additional work in many drivers. Most of the
drivers do not effect the flag change.

I will rebase and repost this patchset for now to fix the regression
and work on NETIF_F_HW_TC handling in a follow-up.
