* Hardware bridging for Distributed Switch Architecture (DSA)
From: Mickael Chazaux @ 2011-02-09 10:30 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev, buytenh

Hi,

I'm interested in working on hardware bridging support for the
Distributed Switch Architecture (DSA).

I have a few questions about this patch [1] :

"(While the patch in itself works, the implementation is ugly, and I
don't see it being merged upstream in this form any time soon"

Why this? What needs to be done to clean it up, and have it in shape?

"While conceptually I think this is the way this should work (i.e. no
workflow changes for the system administrator) "

I have worked a bit on this subject too and concluded to the same idea.

" the code shouldn't be hooking directly into the bridge code at all.
Ideally, it should just be using a netlink interface providing this info:
- bridge port group creation/destruction
- adding/removing an interface to/from a bridge port group
- changing the STP state of an interface in a bridge port group"

Doesn't brctl already uses netlink to configure the bridge? Could you expand
a bit more on this?

I like this approach of automatically hardware-bridge ports if possible when
adding them to a bridge. Do you mean putting a specific API in netlink
for doing
the hardware bridging stuff ?

Regards,

Mickael

* RE: Realtek r8168C / r8169 driver VLAN TAG stripping

I have tested 8168C with RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_22 . It seems fine with VLAN. My
platform is using Fedora 14. I connect my linux platform with windows one
directly because I don't have a switch supporting VLAN. I set VLAN both windows
side and Linux side and it works well. For the windows side, I use 8111D.

To clarify; we haven't proven this either mathematically not in a laboratory (looking at actual data transmissions). Also, it's the jitter accuracy we're concerned with. We have simply assumed that the jitter of two independent servers (exchanging timestamps) over a very short cable is an approximation of jitter accuracy.

As you say; if the resolution is 8 ns, the accuracy is of course worse than 8 ns. So far, we have however assumed the accuracy to be within the same order of magnitude.

Well, both. 8 ns is the accuracy when performing RTT (round-trip time) measurements using our hardware ping tool. We tested it by connecting a 10 m (European meters ;) CAT6 copper and measuring the jitter. The RTT is always 1240 ns or 1248 ns, hence the accuracy of 8 ns.

$ sudo ./probed -c 10.10.10.3 -i eth2 -p 666
SLA-NG probed 0.1

This is our tool:

The driver looks quite good, some comments inline, most of them
nitpicking and or style related.

Have a look at the netif_stop_queue(). In the at91 driver there are two
possibilities that to stop the queue. First the next tx mailbox is still
in use, second we have a wrap around. But your hardware is a bit
different. Anyways a second look doesn't harm.

it's an unusual return value...maybe return 0 on success and -EBUSY
otherwise?

the masking should not be needed, as you're using can_dropped_invalid_skb()

Can you please only copy the data to the frame if the rtr flag isn't
set. Not all driver do this yet, but we've agreed to do so.

Please move the set_bittiming to the _open() or the _start() function.
See b156fd0483c8f18b3cc544d9c400fe454458e16a. So we can get rid of the
can.do_set_bittiming sooner or later.

nitpick: are the defines, enums and structs needed in more than one c
file? If not, please move them into the c-file where they are used.

Perhaps you mean 8 nanosecond resolution?
Is documentation available for this claim?

We have had no customers asking for this type of support (at least not yet).  If there is kernel work going on regarding it then maybe this needs to be looked at closer. Other than being a science project, what is your use case for the TX timestamping in IPv6?

We're developing a "hardware/kernel timestamp ping" for Linux in C. It's part of a complete SLA platform (appliance based on Debian with XMLRPC APIs). It's both a science project (Chalmers University, Gothenburg) and a commercial project (Tele2).

Commercial SLA appliances from Cisco and Juniper typically have a accuracy of XXX microseconds. Our hardware ping, using Intel 82580 NICs, have an accuracy of 8 nanoseconds. That is VERY good.

The reason for supporting IPv6 is, well, because it's the future ;)

Hi Devid

I resubmit this patch modified.

 - The memmove() function was used instead of memcpy() + memcpy().
 - Rx packets processing was arranged to four case. 

Please check them.

Best regards
Toshiharu Okada(OKI semiconductor)

This PCH_GBE driver had an issue that the receiving data is not normal.
This driver had not removed correctly the padding data 
which the DMA include in receiving data. 

This patch fixed this issue.

Yep. It does not work.


I have a regular internet connection at home, as usual with dynamically
assigned IPv4 addresses. My router automatically creates an IPv6 tunnel,
so the IPv6 addresses are dynamic as well. German Internet providers
will offer IPv6 soon, and due to the german privacy requirements, they
will most probably offer dynamic IPv6 assignments as well. So a Linux
machine at home must accept autoconfiguration, if you do not want to
change your address manually at least once a day.

On the other hand, a regular Linux machine can have routing tasks. E.g.
when using a VPN, when dealing with virtual machines, for testing, for
TUN/TAP devices, and so on.

Although there is no good technical reason for not having both at the
same time, Linux does not allow this.

The machine's admin should at least have the choice to turn routing and
autoconf on and off independently.

Hadmut

It is here (same document, same page):

2.  Terminology

   IP -  Internet Protocol Version 6.  The terms IPv4 and IPv6 are used
      only in contexts where necessary to avoid ambiguity.

   node -  a device that implements IP.

   router -  a node that forwards IP packets not explicitly addressed to
      itself.

Why should we put our brains at pain ? Is there really a problem ?

There are several virtio trace events already in QEMU today (see the
trace-events file):
virtqueue_fill(void *vq, const void *elem, unsigned int len, unsigned
int idx) "vq %p elem %p len %u idx %u"
virtqueue_flush(void *vq, unsigned int count) "vq %p count %u"
virtqueue_pop(void *vq, void *elem, unsigned int in_num, unsigned int
out_num) "vq %p elem %p in_num %u out_num %u"
virtio_queue_notify(void *vdev, int n, void *vq) "vdev %p n %d vq %p"
virtio_irq(void *vq) "vq %p"
virtio_notify(void *vdev, void *vq) "vdev %p vq %p"

These can be used by building QEMU with a suitable tracing backend
like SystemTap (see docs/tracing.txt).

Inside the guest I've used dynamic ftrace in the past, although static
tracepoints would be nice.

Actually, I had to revert, this patch introduces an obvious compiler warning:

drivers/net/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_main.c: In function 'pch_gbe_reinit_locked':
drivers/net/pch_gbe/pch_gbe_main.c:533:21: warning: unused variable 'netdev'

Sloppy build issues like this reflects very poorly upon the patch
submitter.

Alexey (and others), are you aware of any commercially available
devices that implement NCM that we can test with?

* [PATCH net-next-2.6 v6 1/1] can: c_can: Added support for Bosch C_CAN controller
From: Bhupesh Sharma @ 2011-02-09  5:03 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA; +Cc: Socketcan-core-0fE9KPoRgkgATYTw5x5z8w

Bosch C_CAN controller is a full-CAN implementation which is compliant
to CAN protocol version 2.0 part A and B. Bosch C_CAN user manual can be
obtained from:
http://www.semiconductors.bosch.de/media/en/pdf/ipmodules_1/
c_can/users_manual_c_can.pdf

This patch adds the support for this controller.
The following are the design choices made while writing the controller
driver:
1. Interface Register set IF1 has be used only in the current design.
2. Out of the 32 Message objects available, 16 are kept aside for RX
   purposes and the rest for TX purposes.
3. NAPI implementation is such that both the TX and RX paths function
   in polling mode.

Signed-off-by: Bhupesh Sharma <bhupesh.sharma-qxv4g6HH51o@public.gmane.org>
---
Changes since V5:
1. Seperated the state change and bus error handling paths.
2. Added logic to write LEC value to 0x7 from CPU to check for updates
   later.
3. Corrected the ERROR_WARNING handling logic to correctly send error
   frames on the bus.

I believe there is a difference between being a router and merely
being capable of forwarding IP packets.  To me, a router participates
in a routing protocol and/or advertises routes/prefixes.  So perhaps
Hadmut has a valid point that autoconfiguration should not depend
on ip_forward being off, although I'm not sure what the appropriate
alternate test for not being a router should be.

I use memmove().

If processing is arranged, There are 4 different ways RX packets are 
processed.

[Case1]
"rx_csum is enable " and
 "NET_IP_ALIGN == 0"

 DMA buffer is used as SKB as it is.

[Case2]
"rx_csum is enable " and
 "NET_IP_ALIGN != 0"

 Because alignment differs, the new_skb is newly allocated, and data is 
copied to new_skb.

[Case3]
"rx_csum is disable " and
 "length < copybreak" or "NET_IP_ALIGN != PCH_GBE_DMA_PADDING"

 Because alignment differs, the new_skb is newly allocated, and data is 
copied to new_skb.
 Padding data is deleted at the time of a copy.

[Case4]
"rx_csum is disable " and
 "length >= copybreak" and "NET_IP_ALIGN == PCH_GBE_DMA_PADDING"

 Padding data is deleted by moving header data.

I rewrite without using skb_copy_flag and skb_padding simply.

Yes, sure.
pch_gbe_reinit_locked() is called after confirming of netif_running() except 
for pch_gbe_reset_task() function.
This netif_running() was redundant.

Intent wasn't; I've not used tracepoints before, but maybe we should
consider a longer-term monitoring solution?

Patch welcome!
