2020-06-30tcp: call tcp_ack_tstamp() when not fully ackedYousuk Seung
When skb is coalesced tcp_ack_tstamp() still needs to be called when not fully acked in tcp_clean_rtx_queue(), otherwise SCM_TSTAMP_ACK timestamps may never be fired. Since the original patch series had dependent commits, this patch fixes the issue instead of reverting by restoring calls to tcp_ack_tstamp() when skb is not fully acked.

As implemented in igc_ethtool_get_ts_info(), igc only supports HWTSTAMP_ FILTER_ALL so any HWTSTAMP_FILTER_* option the user may set falls back to HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL. HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL is implemented via Rx Time Sync Control (TSYNCRXCTL) configuration which timestamps all incoming packets.

Quick note about igc_ptp_tx_hwtstamp() change: when that function is called, adapter->ptp_tx_skb is expected to be valid always so we WARN_ON_ONCE() in case it is not.

2020-06-29Merge branch 'Add-ethtool-extended-link-state'David S. Miller
Ido Schimmel says: ==================== Add ethtool extended link state Amit says: Currently, device drivers can only indicate to user space if the network link is up or down, without additional information. This patch set provides an infrastructure that allows these drivers to expose more information to user space about the link state. The information can save users' time when trying to understand why a link is not operationally up, for example. The above is achieved by extending the existing ethtool LINKSTATE_GET command with attributes that carry the extended state. For example, no link due to missing cable: $ ethtool ethX ... Link detected: no (No cable) Beside the general extended state, drivers can pass additional information about the link state using the sub-state field. For example: $ ethtool ethX ... Link detected: no (Autoneg, No partner detected) In the future the infrastructure can be extended - for example - to allow PHY drivers to report whether a downshift to a lower speed occurred. Something like: $ ethtool ethX ... Link detected: yes (downshifted) Patch set overview: Patches #1-#3 move mlxsw ethtool code to a separate file Patches #4-#5 add the ethtool infrastructure for extended link state Patches #6-#7 add support of extended link state in the mlxsw driver Patches #8-#10 add test cases Changes since v1: * In documentation, show ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_STATE_* and ETHTOOL_LINK_EXT_SUBSTATE_* constants instead of user-space strings * Add `_CI_` to cable_issue substates to be consistent with other substates * Keep the commit messages within 75 columns * Use u8 variable for __link_ext_substate * Document the meaning of -ENODATA in get_link_ext_state() callback description * Do not zero data->link_ext_state_provided after getting an error * Use `ret` variable for error value Changes since RFC: * Move documentation patch before ethtool patch * Add nla_total_size() instead of sizeof() directly * Return an error code from linkstate_get_ext_state() * Remove SHORTED_CABLE, add CABLE_TEST_FAILURE instead * Check if the interface is administratively up before setting ext_state * Document all sub-states ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

2020-06-29ethtool: Add link extended stateAmit Cohen
Currently, drivers can only tell whether the link is up/down using LINKSTATE_GET, but no additional information is given. Add attributes to LINKSTATE_GET command in order to allow drivers to expose the user more information in addition to link state to ease the debug process, for example, reason for link down state. Extended state consists of two attributes - link_ext_state and link_ext_substate. The idea is to avoid 'vendor specific' states in order to prevent drivers to use specific link_ext_state that can be in the future common link_ext_state. The substates allows drivers to add more information to the common link_ext_state. For example, vendor can expose 'Autoneg' as link_ext_state and add 'No partner detected during force mode' as link_ext_substate. If a driver cannot pinpoint the extended state with the substate accuracy, it is free to expose only the extended state and omit the substate attribute.
