bpf: program testing framework
Development and testing of networking bpf programs is quite cumbersome.
Especially tricky are XDP programs that attach to real netdevices and
program development feels like working on the car engine while
the car is in motion.
Another problem is ongoing changes to upstream llvm core
that can introduce an optimization that verifier will not
recognize. llvm bpf backend tests have no ability to run the programs.
To improve this situation introduce BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN command
to test and performance benchmark bpf programs.
It achieves several goals:
- development of xdp and skb based bpf programs can be done
in a canned environment with unit tests
- program performance optimizations can be benchmarked outside of
networking core (without driver and skb costs)
- continuous testing of upstream changes is finally practical
Patches 4,5,6 add C based test cases of various complexity
to cover some sched_cls and xdp features. More tests will
be added in the future. The tests were run on centos7 only.
For now the framework supports only skb and xdp programs. In the future
it can be extended to socket_filter and tracing program types.
More details are in individual patches.
v1->v2:
- rename bpf_program_test_run->bpf_prog_test_run
- add missing #include <linux/bpf.h> since libbpf.h shouldn't depend
on prior includes
- reordered patches 3 and 4 to keep bisect clean

development and testing of networking bpf programs is quite cumbersome.
Despite availability of user space bpf interpreters the kernel is
the ultimate authority and execution environment.
Current test frameworks for TC include creation of netns, veth,
qdiscs and use of various packet generators just to test functionality
of a bpf program. XDP testing is even more complicated, since
qemu needs to be started with gro/gso disabled and precise queue
configuration, transferring of xdp program from host into guest,
attaching to virtio/eth0 and generating traffic from the host
while capturing the results from the guest.
Moreover analyzing performance bottlenecks in XDP program is
impossible in virtio environment, since cost of running the program
is tiny comparing to the overhead of virtio packet processing,
so performance testing can only be done on physical nic
with another server generating traffic.
Furthermore ongoing changes to user space control plane of production
applications cannot be run on the test servers leaving bpf programs
stubbed out for testing.
Last but not least, the upstream llvm changes are validated by the bpf
backend testsuite which has no ability to test the code generated.
To improve this situation introduce BPF_PROG_TEST_RUN command
to test and performance benchmark bpf programs.

This patch adds support for a DSA mock-up driver which essentially does
the following:
- registers/unregisters 4 fixed PHYs to the slave network devices
- uses eth0 (configurable) as the master netdev
- registers the switch as a fixed MDIO device against the fixed MDIO bus
at address 31
- includes dynamic debug prints for dsa_switch_ops functions that can be
enabled to get call traces
This is a good way to test modular builds as well as exercise the DSA

net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: program cross-chip bridging
The purpose of this patch series is to bring hardware cross-chip
bridging configuration to the DSA layer and the mv88e6xxx DSA driver.
Most recent Marvell switch chips have a Cross-chip Port Based VLAN Table
(PVT) used to restrict to which internal destination port an arbitrary
external source port is allowed to egress frames to.
The current behavior of the mv88e6xxx driver is to program this table
table with all ones, allowing any external ports to egress frames on any
internal ports. This means that carefully crafted Ethernet frames can
potentially bypass the user bridging configuration.
Patches 1 to 7 prepare the setup of this table and factorize the common
bits of both in-chip and cross-chip Marvell bridging code.
Patch 8 adds new optional cross-chip bridging operations to DSA switch.
Patch 9 switches the current behavior to program the table according to
the user bridging configuration when (cross-chip) ports get (un)bridged.
On a ZII Rev B board, bridging together the 3 user ports of both 88E6352
will result in the following PVTs on respectively switch 0 and switch 1:
External Internal Ports
Dev Port 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
1 0 * * * - - * *
1 1 * * * - - * *
1 2 * * * - - * *

It is nearly not possible to fix drivers, since some of them compute the

reconfigured (ethtool -L) between the down/up sequence.
Lets avoid accumulating 'negative' values that render bonding stats
useless.
It is better to lose small deltas, assuming the bonding stats are

This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only.
Preethi changes the default driver mode of operation to descriptor
write-back for VF.
Alex cleans up and addresses several issues in the way that i40e handles
private flags. Modifies the driver to use the length of the packet
instead of the DD status bit to determine if a new descriptor is ready
to be processed. Refactors the driver by pulling the code responsible
for fetching the receive buffer and synchronizing DMA into a single
function. Also pulled the code responsible for handling buffer
recycling and page counting and distributed it through several functions,
so we can commonize the bits that handle either freeing or recycling the
buffers. Cleans up the code in preparation for us adding support for
build_skb(). Changed the way we handle the maximum frame size for the
receive path so it is more consistent with other drivers.
Paul enables XL722 to use the direct read/write method since it does not
support the AQ command to read/write the control register.
Christopher fixes a case where we miss an arq element if a new one is
added before we enable interrupts and exit the loop.

was not being used.

Or Gerlitz says:
This series adds support for offloading modifications of packet headers using
ConnectX-5 HW header re-write as an action applied during packet steering.
The offloaded SW mechanism is TC's pedit action. The offloading is
supported for E-Switch steering of VF traffic in the SRIOV
switchdev mode and for NIC (non eswitch) RX.
One use-case for this offload on virtual networks, is when the hypervisor
implements flow based router such as Open-Stack's DVR, where L2 headers
of guest packets re-written with routers' MAC addresses and the IP TTL
is decremented.
Another use case (which can be applied in parallel with routing) is
stateless NAT where guest L3/L4 headers are re-written.
The series is built as follows: the 1st six patches are preperations which
don't yet add new functionality, patches 7-8 add the FW APIs (data-structures
and commands) for header re-write, and patch nine allows offloading driver
to access pedit keys.
The 10th patch is somehow the core of the series, where we translate from
the pedit way to represent set of header modification elements to the FW
API for that same matter.
Once a set of HW modification is established, we register it with the FW
and get a modify header ID. When this ID is used with an action during
packet steering, the HW applies the header modification on the packet.
Patches 11 and 12 implement the above logic as an offload for pedit action
for the NIC and E-Switch use-cases.
I'd like to thanks Elijah Shakkour <elijahs@mellanox.com> for implementing
and helping me testing this functionality on HW simulator, before it could
be done with FW.

====================
mlx5e-pedit 2017-03-28
This series adds support for offloading modifications of packet headers using
ConnectX-5 HW header re-write as an action applied during packet steering.
The offloaded SW mechanism is TC's pedit action. The offloading is
supported for E-Switch steering of VF traffic in the SRIOV
switchdev mode and for NIC (non eswitch) RX.
One use-case for this offload on virtual networks, is when the hypervisor
implements flow based router such as Open-Stack's DVR, where L2 headers
of guest packets re-written with routers' MAC addresses and the IP TTL
is decremented.
Another use case (which can be applied in parallel with routing) is
stateless NAT where guest L3/L4 headers are re-written.
The series is built as follows: the 1st six patches are preperations which
don't yet add new functionality, patches 7-8 add the FW APIs (data-structures
and commands) for header re-write, and patch nine allows offloading driver
to access pedit keys.
The 10th patch is somehow the core of the series, where we translate from
the pedit way to represent set of header modification elements to the FW
API for that same matter.
Once a set of HW modification is established, we register it with the FW
and get a modify header ID. When this ID is used with an action during
packet steering, the HW applies the header modification on the packet.
Patches 11 and 12 implement the above logic as an offload for pedit action
for the NIC and E-Switch use-cases.
I'd like to thanks Elijah Shakkour <elijahs@mellanox.com> for implementing
and helping me testing this functionality on HW simulator, before it could
be done with FW.
