Just a heads up, I've sent a patch set for ethtool user space: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230124142056.3778131-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ and a pull request for openlldp: https://github.com/intel/openlldp/pull/91 Waiting for these to get merged before I submit selftests for the kernel. Those who would like things to progress faster can help with some review there.
Change log ---------- v3->v4: - add missing opening bracket in ocelot_port_mm_irq() - moved cfg.verify_time range checking so that it actually takes place for the updated rather than old value v3 at: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230117085947.2176464-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ v2->v3: - made get_mm return int instead of void - deleted ETHTOOL_A_MM_SUPPORTED - renamed ETHTOOL_A_MM_ADD_FRAG_SIZE to ETHTOOL_A_MM_TX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE - introduced ETHTOOL_A_MM_RX_MIN_FRAG_SIZE - cleaned up documentation - rebased on top of PLCA changes - renamed ETHTOOL_STATS_SRC_* to ETHTOOL_MAC_STATS_SRC_* v2 at: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/cover/20230111161706.1465242-1-vladimir.oltean@nxp.com/ v1->v2: I've decided to focus just on the MAC Merge layer for now, which is why I am able to submit this patch set as non-RFC. 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.
