* [PATCHv2 net-next-2.6 2/2] qlcnic: Take FW dump via ethtool
From: Anirban Chakraborty @ 2011-05-10  1:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Anirban Chakraborty
In-Reply-To: <1304989352-24810-1-git-send-email-anirban.chakraborty@qlogic.com>

Driver checks if the previous dump has been cleared before taking the dump.
It doesn't take the dump if it is not cleared.

* [PATCHv2 net-next-2.6] ethtool: Added support for FW dump
From: Anirban Chakraborty @ 2011-05-10  1:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Anirban Chakraborty
In-Reply-To: <1304989352-24810-1-git-send-email-anirban.chakraborty@qlogic.com>

Added code to take FW dump via ethtool. A pair of set and get functions are
added to configure dump level and fetch dump data from the driver respectively.

From: Anirban Chakraborty @ 2011-05-10  1:02 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: netdev; +Cc: bhutchings, davem, Anirban Chakraborty
In-Reply-To: <1304989352-24810-1-git-send-email-anirban.chakraborty@qlogic.com>

Added code to take FW dump.
o Driver queries FW at the init time and gets the dump template
o It takes FW dump as per the dump template
o Level of FW dump (and its size) is configured via dump flag

* linux-next: manual merge of the net tree with the net-current tree
From: Stephen Rothwell @ 2011-05-10  1:49 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: David Miller, netdev
  Cc: linux-next, linux-kernel, Somnath Kotur, Sathya Perla

Hi all,

Today's linux-next merge of the net tree got a conflict in
drivers/net/benet/be_main.c between commit 6709d9521df0 ("be2net: Fixed
bugs related to PVID") from the net-current tree and commit 15d721847f56
("be2net: parse vid and vtm fields of rx-compl only if vlanf bit is set")
from the net tree.

I fixed it up (I think - see below) and can carry the fix as necessary.
-- 
Cheers,
Stephen Rothwell                    sfr@canb.auug.org.au

	I think this should be more verbose than a pr_debug, because
this is an impossible case that should never happen in actual practice,
and, if it does, may break things in odd ways.

	These two do-nothing functions should either

	a) be removed entirely, and their call site replaced with a
comment explaining this variation on the standard (that we don't need
the "Attach_Mux_To_Aggregator" or "Detach_Mux_From_Aggregator" functions
specified in the standard for the "Mux machine state diagram"), or

	b) the comment needs to remain in some form to document this
variation on the standard.

	This won't apply to current net-next-2.6; the "basic_speed"
variable was removed from this function in net-next-2.6 a few weeks ago.

	In any event, the "uninitialized_var" business shouldn't be
necessary if the function is arranged reasonably, e.g.,

{
	u32 bandwidth;

	if (aggregator->num_of_ports) {
		switch (...) {

	Again, stronger warning, don't need the comment.  There are more
of these; assume I said this about each of them.

	Could just remove this comment.

	I'm out of time right now to look at this; I'll go through the

I agree that. However, I have no idea about making it compatible with previous
parser and firmware. Let me think if there is a good way to do this.

My preference is to return early and reduce indentation.

It can make things like pr_<foo> or WARN more likely to
fit on a single.

{
	int bandwidth;

	if (!aggregator->num_of_ports)

validated.

This is pretty weird.  Debian version 2.6.38-3 has a few bridging
changes from stable 2.6.38.3 and 2.6.38.4, but they don't look like they
would cause this.

Sorry this wont scale. Some machines have thousand of devices.

Just make an upper approximation, you dont need an exact one ;)

There are two possible explainations:
  1. In 2.6.37 and kernels the bridge uses IGMP snooping, there were several
     fixes to that in the stable kernel; especially related to IPv6.

  2. There was also a recent change to block link local multicast
     address. But that should impact what you are doing.

The route dump does scale, can't you use a similar logic?
The result doesn't come back as one huge allocation.
I regularly test 600K routes on small machines.

Not sure I understand you Stephen.

In Greg patch, rtnl_calcit() would be called for every 4K/8K block "ip"
gets from kernel.

If you add a function to route dump that would scan the 600K routes to
get the max route size, surely you notice O(N^2) complexity instead of
O(N)

We only need to maintain a global variable to hold min_dump_alloc

[ and only increase this variable when necessary, not bother to decrease
it when removing a driver ]

Thanks Valdis !

[PATCH net-next-2.6] net: fix two lockdep splats

Commit e67f88dd12f6 (net: dont hold rtnl mutex during netlink dump
callbacks) switched rtnl protection to RCU, but we forgot to adjust two
rcu_dereference() lockdep annotations :

inet_get_link_af_size() or inet_fill_link_af() might be called with
rcu_read_lock or rtnl held, so use rcu_dereference_rtnl()
instead of rtnl_dereference()

Hmm... correct alignements are far more important for this structure.

Did you run benchmarks on 32bit and 64bit platforms ?

BTW we have ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp markers, I am not even sure
this patch saves space.

I was hoping that the new interface dump would not need a pre-calculated
size and could just incrementally add values. I was trying to use an
analogy with route dumping. The current route dump does not precalculate
size.

What happens is dump iterates over the table and puts entries into
skb. When space is exhausted in skb the iterator stops and records the
key of the where to restart. Then restarts with next skb from there.

This scales O(N) with number of routes and does not have to precompute
size.

Stephen the problem here is that one netdevice being dumped is highly
variable because of the VF netlink attributes.

Routes have a fixed reasonably low upper bound in size, so we always are
able to fit one route in an SKB.

Netdevices, on the other hand, can have so many VFs that one netdevice
entry does not fit even in a single 8K allocated SKB.

That's the failure case this code is trying to fix.

Exactly : We would increase min_dump_alloc at this point, and not fully
recompute it at each round ;)

Problem is we could return an empty answer if first device ever dumped
in "ip link" would be a 'large one' and min_dump_alloc not yet
increased, so "ip link" would consider table is empty ?

Thats why I suggested to increase min_dump_alloc() when bloated^W driver
is loaded.

I agree.  I aligned these members on "natural" boundaries.
4 consecutive chars rather than 2 chars, unsigned long.

Nope.

That depends on whether or not CONFIG_SMP is defined and
all of the changes are before any ____cacheline_aligned markers.

OK, let me go back and look at doing it this way.  I was sort of scratching my head about doing that device lookup on every dump, so this is a good suggestion.

I have apparently filed the bug against the wrong version of Debian's
kernel.  2.6.38-3 is not affected, and works as expected.  The change
was introduced in -4.  That may have been clear from the report itself,
but the report was filed against -3.  I've fixed that in the BTS.

I've also confirmed that -5 is affected, to no great surprise.

I'll investigate further.
