Shannon Nelson says:

====================
ionic: on-chip descriptors

We start with a couple of house-keeping patches that were originally
presented for 'net', then we add support for on-chip descriptor rings
for tx-push, as well as adding support for rx-push.

I have a patch for the ethtool userland utility that I can send out
once this has been accepted.

v4: added rx-push attributes to ethtool netlink
converted CMB feature from using a priv-flag to using ethtool tx/rx-push

v3: edited commit message to describe interface-down limitation
added warn msg if cmb_inuse alloc fails
removed unnecessary clearing of phy_cmb_pages and cmb_npages
changed cmb_rings_toggle to use cmb_inuse
removed unrelated pci_set_drvdata()
removed unnecessary (u32) cast
added static inline func for writing CMB descriptors

v2: dropped the rx buffers patch

Merge branch 'ethtool-netlink-next'

Jakub Kicinski says:

====================
ethtool: netlink: handle SET intro/outro in the common code

Factor out the boilerplate code from SET handlers to common code.

I volunteered to refactor the extack in GET in a conversation
with Vladimir but I gave up.

The handling of failures during dump in GET handlers is a bit
unclear to me. Some code uses presence of info as indication
of dump and tries to avoid reporting errors altogether
(including extack messages).

There's also the question of whether we should have a validation
callback (similar to .set_validate here) for GET. It looks like
.parse_request was expected to perform the validation. It takes
the extack and tb directly, not via info:

int (*parse_request)(struct ethnl_req_info *req_info,
struct nlattr **tb,
struct netlink_ext_ack *extack);

int (*prepare_data)(const struct ethnl_req_info *req_info,
struct ethnl_reply_data *reply_data,
struct genl_info *info);

so no crashes dereferencing info possible.

But .parse_request doesn't run under rtnl nor ethnl_ops_begin().
As a result some implementations defer validation until .prepare_data
where all the locks are held and they can call out to the driver.

All this makes me think that maybe we should refactor GET in the
same direction I'm refactoring SET. Split .prepare_data, take
more locks in the core, and add a validation helper which would
take extack directly:

- ret = ops->prepare_data(req_info, reply_data, info);
+ ret = ops->prepare_data_validate(req_info, reply_data, attrs, extack);
+ if (ret < 1) // if 0 -> skip for dump; -EOPNOTSUPP in do
+ goto err1;
+
+ ret = ethnl_ops_begin(dev);
+ if (ret)
+ goto err1;
+
+ ret = ops->prepare_data(req_info, reply_data); // no extack
+ ethnl_ops_complete(dev);

I'll file that away as a TODO for posterity / older me.

v2:
- invert checks for coalescing to avoid error code changes
- rebase and convert MM as well

ethtool_notify()
ethnl_ops_complete()
rtnl_unlock()

This leads to a lot of copy / pasted code an bugs when people
mis-handle the error path.

Add a generic implementation of this pattern with a .set callback
in struct ethnl_request_ops called to "do stuff".

Also add an optional .set_validate which is called before
ethnl_ops_begin() -- a lot of implementations do basic request
capability / sanity checking at that point.

Because we want to avoid generating the notification when
no change happened - adopt a slightly hairy return values:
- 0 means nothing to do (no notification)
- 1 means done / continue
- negative error codes on error

Reuse .hdr_attr from struct ethnl_request_ops, GET and SET
use the same attr spaces in all cases.

Convert pause as an example (and to avoid unused function warnings).

v1 (RFC) at:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20220816222920.1952936-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

What is being introduced
------------------------

TL;DR: a MAC Merge layer as defined by IEEE 802.3-2018, clause 99
(interspersing of express traffic). This is controlled through ethtool
netlink (ETHTOOL_MSG_MM_GET, ETHTOOL_MSG_MM_SET). The raw ethtool
commands are posted here:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230111153638.1454687-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/

The MAC Merge layer has its own statistics counters
(ethtool --include-statistics --show-mm swp0) as well as two member
MACs, the statistics of which can be queried individually, through a new
ethtool netlink attribute, corresponding to:

$ ethtool -I --show-pause eno2 --src aggregate
$ ethtool -S eno2 --groups eth-mac eth-phy eth-ctrl rmon -- --src pmac

The core properties of the MAC Merge layer are described in great detail
in patches 02/12 and 03/12. They can be viewed in "make htmldocs" format.

Devices for which the API is supported
--------------------------------------

I decided to start with the Ethernet switch on NXP LS1028A (Felix)
because of the smaller patch set. I also have support for the ENETC
controller pending.

I would like to get confirmation that the UAPI being proposed here will
not restrict any use cases known by other hardware vendors.

Why is support for preemptible traffic classes not here?
--------------------------------------------------------

There is legitimate concern whether the 802.1Q portion of the standard
(which traffic classes go to the eMAC and which to the pMAC) should be
modeled in Linux using tc or using another UAPI. I think that is
stalling the entire series, but should be discussed separately instead.
Removing FP adminStatus support makes me confident enough to submit this
patch set without an RFC tag (meaning: I wouldn't mind if it was merged
as is).

What is submitted here is sufficient for an LLDP daemon to do its job.
I've patched openlldp to advertise and configure frame preemption:
https://github.com/vladimiroltean/openlldp/tree/frame-preemption-v3

In case someone wants to try it out, here are some commands I've used.

# Configure the interfaces to receive and transmit LLDP Data Units
lldptool -L -i eno0 adminStatus=rxtx
lldptool -L -i swp0 adminStatus=rxtx
# Enable the transmission of certain TLVs on switch's interface
lldptool -T -i eno0 -V addEthCap enableTx=yes
lldptool -T -i swp0 -V addEthCap enableTx=yes
# Query LLDP statistics on switch's interface
lldptool -S -i swp0
# Query the received neighbor TLVs
lldptool -i swp0 -t -n -V addEthCap
Additional Ethernet Capabilities TLV
Preemption capability supported
Preemption capability enabled
Preemption capability active
Additional fragment size: 60 octets

So using this patch set, lldpad will be able to advertise and configure
frame preemption, but still, no data packet will be sent as preemptible
over the link, because there is no UAPI to control which traffic classes
are sent as preemptible and which as express.

Preemptable or preemptible?
---------------------------

IEEE 802.3 uses "preemptable" throughout. IEEE 802.1Q uses "preemptible"
throughout. Because the definition of "preemptible" falls under 802.1Q's
jurisdiction and 802.3 just references it, I went with the 802.1Q naming
even where supporting an 802.3 feature. Also, checkpatch agrees with this.

net: ethtool: netlink: retrieve stats from multiple sources (eMAC, pMAC)

IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99 defines a MAC Merge sublayer which contains an
Express MAC and a Preemptible MAC. Both MACs are hidden to higher and
lower layers and visible as a single MAC (packet classification to eMAC
or pMAC on TX is done based on priority; classification on RX is done
based on SFD).

For devices which support a MAC Merge sublayer, it is desirable to
retrieve individual packet counters from the eMAC and the pMAC, as well
as aggregate statistics (their sum).

Introduce a new ETHTOOL_A_STATS_SRC attribute which is part of the
policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_STATS_GET and, and an ETHTOOL_A_PAUSE_STATS_SRC
which is part of the policy of ETHTOOL_MSG_PAUSE_GET (accepted when
ETHTOOL_FLAG_STATS is set in the common ethtool header). Both of these
take values from enum ethtool_mac_stats_src, defaulting to "aggregate"
in the absence of the attribute.

Existing drivers do not need to pay attention to this enum which was
added to all driver-facing structures, just the ones which report the
MAC merge layer as supported.

net: ethtool: add support for MAC Merge layer

The MAC merge sublayer (IEEE 802.3-2018 clause 99) is one of 2
specifications (the other being Frame Preemption; IEEE 802.1Q-2018
clause 6.7.2), which work together to minimize latency caused by frame
interference at TX. The overall goal of TSN is for normal traffic and
traffic with a bounded deadline to be able to cohabitate on the same L2
network and not bother each other too much.

The standards achieve this (partly) by introducing the concept of
preemptible traffic, i.e. Ethernet frames that have a custom value for
the Start-of-Frame-Delimiter (SFD), and these frames can be fragmented
and reassembled at L2 on a link-local basis. The non-preemptible frames
are called express traffic, they are transmitted using a normal SFD, and
they can preempt preemptible frames, therefore having lower latency,
which can matter at lower (100 Mbps) link speeds, or at high MTUs (jumbo
frames around 9K). Preemption is not recursive, i.e. a P frame cannot
preempt another P frame. Preemption also does not depend upon priority,
or otherwise said, an E frame with prio 0 will still preempt a P frame
with prio 7.

In terms of implementation, the standards talk about the presence of an
express MAC (eMAC) which handles express traffic, and a preemptible MAC
(pMAC) which handles preemptible traffic, and these MACs are multiplexed
on the same MII by a MAC merge layer.

To support frame preemption, the definition of the SFD was generalized
to SMD (Start-of-mPacket-Delimiter), where an mPacket is essentially an
Ethernet frame fragment, or a complete frame. Stations unaware of an SMD
value different from the standard SFD will treat P frames as error
frames. To prevent that from happening, a negotiation process is
defined.

On RX, packets are dispatched to the eMAC or pMAC after being filtered
by their SMD. On TX, the eMAC/pMAC classification decision is taken by
the 802.1Q spec, based on packet priority (each of the 8 user priority
values may have an admin-status of preemptible or express).

The MAC Merge layer and the Frame Preemption parameters have some degree
of independence in terms of how software stacks are supposed to deal
with them. The activation of the MM layer is supposed to be controlled
by an LLDP daemon (after it has been communicated that the link partner
also supports it), after which a (hardware-based or not) verification
handshake takes place, before actually enabling the feature. So the
process is intended to be relatively plug-and-play. Whereas FP settings
are supposed to be coordinated across a network using something
approximating NETCONF.

The support contained here is exclusively for the 802.3 (MAC Merge)
portions and not for the 802.1Q (Frame Preemption) parts. This API is
sufficient for an LLDP daemon to do its job. The FP adminStatus variable
from 802.1Q is outside the scope of an LLDP daemon.

I have taken a few creative licenses and augmented the Linux kernel UAPI
compared to the standard managed objects recommended by IEEE 802.3.
These are:

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_PMAC_ENABLED: According to Figure 99-6: Receive
Processing state diagram, a MAC Merge layer is always supposed to be
able to receive P frames. However, this implies keeping the pMAC
powered on, which will consume needless power in applications where FP
will never be used. If LLDP is used, the reception of an Additional
Ethernet Capabilities TLV from the link partner is sufficient
indication that the pMAC should be enabled. So my proposal is that in
Linux, we keep the pMAC turned off by default and that user space
turns it on when needed.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_VERIFY_ENABLED: The IEEE managed object is called
aMACMergeVerifyDisableTx. I opted for consistency (positive logic) in
the boolean netlink attributes offered, so this is also positive here.
Other than the meaning being reversed, they correspond to the same
thing.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_MAX_VERIFY_TIME: I found it most reasonable for a LLDP
daemon to maximize the verifyTime variable (delay between SMD-V
transmissions), to maximize its chances that the LP replies. IEEE says
that the verifyTime can range between 1 and 128 ms, but the NXP ENETC
stupidly keeps this variable in a 7 bit register, so the maximum
supported value is 127 ms. I could have chosen to hardcode this in the
LLDP daemon to a lower value, but why not let the kernel expose its
supported range directly.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_TX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: the standard managed object is called
aMACMergeAddFragSize, and expresses the "additional" fragment size
(on top of ETH_ZLEN), whereas this expresses the absolute value of the
fragment size.

- ETHTOOL_A_MM_RX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE: there doesn't appear to exist a managed
object mandated by the standard, but user space clearly needs to know
what is the minimum supported fragment size of our local receiver,
since LLDP must advertise a value no lower than that.

PLCA is a feature that provides improved media-access performance in terms

PLCA is defined in Clause 148 of the IEEE802.3 specifications as amended
by 802.3cg-2019. Currently, PLCA is supported by the 10BASE-T1S single-pair
Ethernet PHY defined in the same standard and related amendments. The OPEN
Alliance SIG TC14 defines additional specifications for the 10BASE-T1S PHY,
including a standard register map for PHYs that embeds the PLCA RS (see
PLCA management registers at https://www.opensig.org/about/specifications/).

The changes proposed herein add the appropriate ethtool netlink interface
for configuring the PLCA RS on PHYs that supports it. A separate patchset
further modifies the ethtool userspace program to show and modify the
configuration/status of the PLCA RS.

Additionally, this patchset adds support for the onsemi NCN26000
Industrial Ethernet 10BASE-T1S PHY that uses the newly added PLCA
infrastructure.
