[PATCH net-next 0/4][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2026-09-01 (i40e)

[Tony Nguyen]

Kohei Enju adds support for XDP metadata of Rx hash and VLAN tag.

Chris Packham reduces messaging when Rx filters are exhausted, and
promiscuous mode is enabled, to occur once when the mode is enabled
rather than repeated messaging for each filter.

[PATCH net-next 1/4] i40e: prepare for XDP metadata ops support

[Tony Nguyen]

From: Kohei Enju <kohei@enjuk.jp>

Prepare 'struct i40e_xdp_buff' that contains an xdp_buff and a pointer
to i40e_rx_desc in order to pass the RX descriptor to the XDP kfuncs.
Also in ZC path, use XSK_CHECK_PRIV_TYPE() to ensure i40e_xdp_buff
doesn't exceed the offset of cb in xdp_buff_xsk.

No functional changes.

[PATCH net-next 4/4] i40e: Avoid repeating RX filter warning

[Tony Nguyen]

From: Chris Packham <chris.packham@alliedtelesis.co.nz>

When the i40e runs out of space for RX filters the driver switches to
promiscuous mode and warns that it has done so. In scenarios with a
large number of these filters this can generate a lot of warnings. For
example:

  $ dmesg -c > /dev/null
  $ ip link add dev br0 type bridge vlan_filtering 1 vlan_default_pvid 1
  $ ip link set dev eth7 master br0
  $ bridge vlan add vid 1 dev eth7 pvid untagged self
  $ bridge vlan add vid 2-4094 dev eth7 tagged
  $ dmesg
  [   25.601705] i40e 0000:01:00.1: Error LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
  [   25.601833] i40e 0000:01:00.1: Error LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
  [   25.601961] i40e 0000:01:00.1: Error LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
  [   25.602088] i40e 0000:01:00.1: Error LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
  [   25.602216] i40e 0000:01:00.1: Error LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
  [   25.602344] i40e 0000:01:00.1: Error LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC, forcing overflow promiscuous on PF
  ...

Use test_and_set_bit() so that the warning is only issued when the
driver enables promiscuous mode and not on the addition of subsequent RX
filters.

Re: [PATCH net-next 2/4] i40e: add support for bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash()

[netdev-bot+sashiko]

Thank you for your contribution! Sashiko AI review found 1 potential
issue(s) to consider:

Critical: 0 · High: 0 · Medium: 1 · Low: 0

- [Medium] i40e_config_netdev() sets `netdev->xdp_metadata_ops =
  &i40e_xdp_metadata_ops;` unconditionally…

--

i40e: add support for bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash()

This adds i40e_xdp_rx_hash() as an xdp_metadata_ops callback, extracting
the RSS hash and hash type from the RX descriptor the same way
i40e_rx_hash() does. A new I40E_RX_DESC_STATUS_FLTSTAT_MASK helper is
added to i40e_type.h and the ops struct is installed on the netdev.

[Severity: Medium]
Should this assignment live inside the I40E_VSI_MAIN branch, next to where
the rest of the XDP capability state is set?

Earlier in i40e_config_netdev() the XDP capabilities are set only for the
main VSI:

	if (vsi->type == I40E_VSI_MAIN) {
		...
		netdev->xdp_features = NETDEV_XDP_ACT_BASIC |
				       NETDEV_XDP_ACT_REDIRECT |
				       NETDEV_XDP_ACT_XSK_ZEROCOPY |
				       NETDEV_XDP_ACT_RX_SG;
		netdev->xdp_zc_max_segs = I40E_MAX_BUFFER_TXD;
	} else {
		/* Relate the VSI_VMDQ name to the VSI_MAIN name ... */

but i40e_config_netdev() also runs for VMDQ2 netdevs, via i40e_vsi_setup():

	switch (vsi->type) {
	/* setup the netdev if needed */
	case I40E_VSI_MAIN:
	case I40E_VSI_VMDQ2:
		ret = i40e_config_netdev(vsi);

Those macvlan-offload "<pf>v%d" netdevs get xdp_features == 0, and
i40e_xdp() rejects every ndo_bpf command on them:

	if (vsi->type != I40E_VSI_MAIN)
		return -EINVAL;

So no native XDP program can be attached there, and xmo_rx_hash can never
be reached on such a netdev.

Does this make the netlink capability report inconsistent?  netdev_nl_dev_fill()
derives the xdp-rx-metadata-features bits purely from the presence of the
callback, with no cross-check against dev->xdp_features:

net/core/netdev-genl.c:netdev_nl_dev_fill() {
	...
#define XDP_METADATA_KFUNC(_, flag, __, xmo)			\
	if (netdev->xdp_metadata_ops && netdev->xdp_metadata_ops->xmo)	\
		xdp_rx_meta |= flag;
	...
}

which means a VMDQ2 netdev advertises NETDEV_XDP_RX_METADATA_HASH ("Device is
capable of exposing receive packet hash via bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash()") while
rejecting XDP entirely.

The follow-up patch adding bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_vlan_tag() extends the same
unconditional assignment, so NETDEV_XDP_RX_METADATA_VLAN_TAG ends up reported
on those netdevs too; the assignment is still unconditional at the end of the
series.

i40e: Avoid repeating RX filter warning

The patch converts the two set_bit(__I40E_VSI_OVERFLOW_PROMISC, vsi->state)
call sites in i40e_aqc_add_filters() and i40e_aqc_broadcast_filter() to
test_and_set_bit(), so the "forcing overflow promiscuous" warning is only
emitted on the transition into overflow promiscuous mode.

[Severity: Medium]
This isn't a bug introduced by this patch, but the warning is now latched on
a bit whose lifetime is managed by an ad-hoc flag-as-lock scheme, so is the
latch reliable?

i40e_sync_vsi_filters() serializes its whole sleeping section with an
open-coded acquire loop:

	while (test_and_set_bit(__I40E_VSI_SYNCING_FILTERS, vsi->state))
		usleep_range(1000, 2000);
	pf = vsi->back;

	old_overflow = test_bit(__I40E_VSI_OVERFLOW_PROMISC, vsi->state);

and releases it with a plain clear_bit(__I40E_VSI_SYNCING_FILTERS,
vsi->state) on both the out: and err_no_memory: paths.

i40e_add_vsi(), reached from i40e_rebuild() and i40e_vsi_setup(), clears the
bit without participating in that gate at all:

	spin_unlock_bh(&vsi->mac_filter_hash_lock);
	clear_bit(__I40E_VSI_OVERFLOW_PROMISC, vsi->state);

If that clear lands while i40e_sync_vsi_filters() is between its
old_overflow snapshot and the new_overflow / promisc_threshold decision, can
the warning re-fire, or the opposite, can the state read as non-overflowing
while filter programming keeps failing?

[Severity: Low]
Two different failure classes now share one single-shot bit. Is that
intended?

i40e_aqc_add_filters() warns when MAC/VLAN filter space is exhausted
(fcnt != num_add, typically LIBIE_AQ_RC_ENOSPC), while
i40e_aqc_broadcast_filter() warns on any AdminQ error returned by
i40e_aq_set_vsi_broadcast() or i40e_aq_set_vsi_bc_promisc_on_vlan(),
including errors that are not ENOSPC, and prints its own
libie_aq_str(hw->aq.asq_last_status) text.

In the scenario from the commit message (bridge vlan add vid 2-4094) the add
path sets __I40E_VSI_OVERFLOW_PROMISC first, so a later
i40e_aqc_broadcast_filter() failure of an unrelated class prints nothing
until the bit is cleared again.

For the delete path in i40e_sync_vsi_filters() the return value is
discarded:

			if (is_broadcast_ether_addr(f->macaddr)) {
				i40e_aqc_broadcast_filter(vsi, vsi_name, f);

				hlist_del(&f->hlist);
				kfree(f);
				continue;
			}

so with the warning suppressed, is that failure reported anywhere at all?
Would a per-site dev_warn_once() style latch, or a separate condition flag
per message, keep both diagnostics?
