We create a second, simpler, link timer function, tipc_link_timeout().
The new function makes use of the new FSM function introduced in the
previous commit, and just like it, takes a buffer queue as parameter.
It returns an event bit field and potentially a link protocol packet
to the caller.
The existing timer function, link_timeout(), is still needed for a
while, so we redesign it to become a wrapper around the new function.

The link FSM implementation is currently unnecessarily complex.
It sometimes checks for conditional state outside the FSM data
before deciding next state, and often performs actions directly
inside the FSM logics.
In this commit, we create a second, simpler FSM implementation,
that as far as possible acts only on states and events that it is
strictly defined for, and postpone any actions until it is finished
with its decisions. It also returns an event flag field and an a
buffer queue which may potentially contain a protocol message to
be sent by the caller.
Unfortunately, we cannot yet make the FSM "clean", in the sense
that its decisions are only based on FSM state and event, and that
state changes happen only here. That will have to wait until the
activate/reset logics has been cleaned up in a future commit.
We also rename the link states as follows:
WORKING_WORKING -> TIPC_LINK_WORKING
WORKING_UNKNOWN -> TIPC_LINK_PROBING
RESET_UNKNOWN -> TIPC_LINK_RESETTING
RESET_RESET -> TIPC_LINK_ESTABLISHING
The existing FSM function, link_state_event(), is still needed for
a while, so we redesign it to make use of the new function.

The status flag LINK_STOPPED is not needed any more, since the
mechanism for delayed deletion of links has been removed.
Likewise, LINK_STARTED and LINK_START_EVT are unnecessary,
because we can just as well start the link timer directly from
inside tipc_link_create().
We eliminate these flags in this commit.
Instead of the above flags, we now introduce three new link modes,
TIPC_LINK_OPEN, TIPC_LINK_BLOCKED and TIPC_LINK_TUNNEL. The values
indicate whether, and in the case of TIPC_LINK_TUNNEL, which, messages
the link is allowed to receive in this state. TIPC_LINK_BLOCKED also
blocks timer-driven protocol messages to be sent out, and any change
to the link FSM. Since the modes are mutually exclusive, we convert
them to state values, and rename the 'flags' field in struct tipc_link
to 'exec_mode'.
Finally, we move the #defines for link FSM states and events from link.h
into enums inside the file link.c, which is the real usage scope of
these definitions.

Currently, message sending is performed through a deep call chain,
where the node spinlock is grabbed and held during a significant
part of the transmission time. This is clearly detrimental to
overall throughput performance; it would be better if we could send
the message after the spinlock has been released.
In this commit, we do instead let the call revert on the stack after
the buffer chain has been added to the transmission queue, whereafter
clones of the buffers are transmitted to the device layer outside the
spinlock scope.
As a further step in our effort to separate the roles of the node
and link entities we also move the function tipc_link_xmit() to
node.c, and rename it to tipc_node_xmit().

When the function tipc_link_xmit() is given a buffer list for

is successful and when it fails, except for the special case when
it encounters link congestion.
This behavior is inconsistent, and needs to be corrected if we want
to avoid problems in later commits in this series.
In this commit, we change this to let the function consume the list
only when transmission is successful, and leave the list with the
sender in all other cases. We also modifiy the socket code so that
it adapts to this change, i.e., purges the list when a non-congestion

struct tipc_node currently holds two arrays of link pointers; one,

switchdev: avoid duplicate packet forwarding
v3:
- Per Nicolas Dichtel review: remove errant empty union.
v2:
- Per davem review: in sk_buff, union fwd_mark with secmark to save space
since features appear to be mutually exclusive.
- Per Simon Horman review:
- fix grammar in switchdev.txt wrt fwd_mark
- remove some unrelated changes that snuck in
v1:
This patchset was previously submitted as RFC. No changes from the last
version (v2) sent under RFC. Including RFC version history here for reference.
RFC v2:
- s/fwd_mark/offload_fwd_mark
- use consume_skb rather than kfree_skb when dropping pkt on egress.
- Use Jiri's suggestion to use ifindex of one of the ports in a group
as the mark for all the ports in the group. This can be done with
no additional storage (no hashtable from v1). To pull it off, we
need some simple recursive routines to walk the netdev tree ensuring
all leaves in the tree (ports) in the same group (e.g. bridge)
belonging to the same switch device will have the same offload fwd mark.
Maybe someone sees a better design for the recusive routines? They're
not too bad, and should cover the stacked driver cases.
RFC v1:
With switchdev support for offloading L2/L3 forwarding data path to a
switch device, we have a general problem where both the device and the
kernel may forward the packet, resulting in duplicate packets on the wire.
Anytime a packet is forwarded by the device and a copy is sent to the CPU,
there is potential for duplicate forwarding, as the kernel may also do a
forwarding lookup and send the packet on the wire.
The specific problem this patch series is interested in solving is avoiding
duplicate packets on bridged ports. There was a previous RFC from Roopa
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=142687073314252&w=2) to address this
problem, but didn't solve the problem of mixed ports in the bridge from
different devices; there was no way to exclude some ports from forwarding
and include others. This RFC solves that problem by tagging the ingressing
packet with a unique mark, and then comparing the packet mark with the
egress port mark, and skip forwarding when there is a match. For the mixed
ports bridge case, only those ports with matching marks are skipped.
The switchdev port driver must do two things:
1) Generate a fwd_mark for each switch port, using some unique key of the
switch device (and optionally port). This is done when the port netdev
is registered or if the port's group membership changes (joins/leaves
a bridge, for example).
2) On packet ingress from port, mark the skb with the ingress port's
fwd_mark. If the device supports it, it's useful to only mark skbs
which were already forwarded by the device. If the device does not
support such indication, all skbs can be marked, even if they're
local dst.
Two new 32-bit fields are added to struct sk_buff and struct netdevice to
hold the fwd_mark. I've wrapped these with CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV for now. I
tried using skb->mark for this purpose, but ebtables can overwrite the
skb->mark before the bridge gets it, so that will not work.
In general, this fwd_mark can be used for any case where a packet is
forwarded by the device and a copy is sent to the CPU, to avoid the kernel
re-forwarding the packet. sFlow is another use-case that comes to mind,
but I haven't explored the details.

If device flags ingress packet as "fwd offload", mark the
skb->offlaod_fwd_mark using the ingress port's dev->offlaod_fwd_mark. This
will be the hint to the kernel that this packet has already been forwarded
by device to egress ports matching skb->offlaod_fwd_mark.
For rocker, derive port dev->offlaod_fwd_mark based on device switch ID and
port ifindex. If port is bridged, use the bridge ifindex rather than the
port ifindex.

several Rx filters which are very specific, as well as more general
filters. The specific filters really only exist to support some broken
hardware which can't fully implement the generic filters. This patch
adds clarification that it is okay to support the specific filters in
SIOCSHWTSTAMP by upscaling them to the generic filters. In addition,

====================
net: Introduce protodown flag.
User space daemons can detect errors in the network that need to be
notified to the switch device drivers.
Drivers can react to this error state by doing a phy-down on the
switch-port which would result in a carrier-off locally and on the directly
connected switch. Doing that would prevent loops and black-holes in the
network.
One such use case is the multi-chassis LAG application -
1. The MLAG application runs on peer switches (say Switch0 and Switch1)
synchronizing states, forwarding entries etc. between the two
switches over the peer-link (this is a link directly connecting the
two switches).
2. An MLAG election process designates one of the switches as a primary
(for e.g. Switch0 is primary and Switch1 is secondary).
3. The peer link plays a critical role in allowing Switch0-Switch1 to
function as a single LAG partner to the downstream dual-connected
servers. When the peer-link between the switches goes down we have a
split-brain situation. Switch0 and Switch1 are no longer in sync and
are acting independently. This can result in traffic loops and
traffic black-holing in the network.
4. To prevent these problems the MLAG application on the secondary
switch phy-downs the MLAG ports on detecting the peer-link down.
This will be seen as a carrier down on servers that are
dual-connected to Switch0 and Switch1.
5. Specifically a dual-connected server will see a carrier-down on the
port connected to the MLAG secondary, Switch1, and will stop using
that port for traffic TX. So traffic black holing is prevented.
v6 to v7:
Removed some unnecessary code in response to review comments.
v5 to v6:
Replaced proto_flags with a simple proto_down boolean attribute in
response to Dave's comments.
v4 to v5:
Changed the ip link display format for protodown to match the set as
recommended by Stephen.
v3 to v4:
I have moved protodown out of IFF_XXX and introduced a separate
proto_flags field with IF_PROTOF_DOWN bit being used by apps to notify
switch port errors. This is in response to Stephen's comments that
adding a new IFF_XXX may break user space.
I have used rocker as the sample switch driver. And to test this
functionality I used the qemu-rocker patch that Scott sent out in
response to the v3 posting (needed to set link up/down when phy is
enabled/disabled).
v1 to v2:
Based on Dave's suggestion I have moved out aggregating of error bits
across applications to a user space framework. This patch now simply
notifies an aggregated error bit to drivers enabling them to handle
the error gracefully.

protodown can be set by user space applications like MLAG on detecting
errors on a switch port. This patch provides sample switch driver changes
for handling protodown. Rocker PHYS disables the port in response to
protodown.

This patch introduces the proto_down flag that can be used by user space
applications to notify switch drivers that errors have been detected on the
device.
The switch driver can react to protodown notification by doing a phys down
on the associated switch port.

This patch adds support for a new method of signalling the firmware
that TSO packets are being sent. The new method removes the need to
alter the ip and tcp checksums and allows TSO6 support.

The current change mtu call only stops tx before removing RNDIS filter.
In case ringbufer is not empty, the rndis_filter_device_remove() may
hang on removing the buffers.
This patch adds close of RNDIS filter before removing it, also a
gradual waiting loop until the ring is empty. The change_mtu hang
issue under heavy traffic is solved by this patch.
