George McCollister dcf0cd1cc5 net: hsr: add offloading support
Add support for offloading of HSR/PRP (IEC 62439-3) tag insertion
tag removal, duplicate generation and forwarding.

For HSR, insertion involves the switch adding a 6 byte HSR header after
the 14 byte Ethernet header. For PRP it adds a 6 byte trailer.

Tag removal involves automatically stripping the HSR/PRP header/trailer
in the switch. This is possible when the switch also performs auto
deduplication using the HSR/PRP header/trailer (making it no longer
required).

Forwarding involves automatically forwarding between redundant ports in
an HSR. This is crucial because delay is accumulated as a frame passes
through each node in the ring.

Duplication involves the switch automatically sending a single frame
from the CPU port to both redundant ports. This is required because the
inserted HSR/PRP header/trailer must contain the same sequence number
on the frames sent out both redundant ports.

Export is_hsr_master so DSA can tell them apart from other devices in
dsa_slave_changeupper.

Murali Karicheri 8f4c0e0178 hsr: enhance netlink socket interface to support PRP
Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) is another redundancy protocol
introduced by IEC 63439 standard. It is similar to HSR in many
aspects:-

 - Use a pair of Ethernet interfaces to created the PRP device
 - Use a 6 byte redundancy protocol part (RCT, Redundancy Check
   Trailer) similar to HSR Tag.
 - Has Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) that works with RCT to implement
   redundancy.

Key difference is that the protocol unit is a trailer instead of a
prefix as in HSR. That makes it inter-operable with tradition network
components such as bridges/switches which treat it as pad bytes,
whereas HSR nodes requires some kind of translators (Called redbox) to
talk to regular network devices. This features allows regular linux box
to be converted to a DAN-P box. DAN-P stands for Dual Attached Node - PRP
similar to DAN-H (Dual Attached Node - HSR).

Add a comment at the header/source code to explicitly state that the
driver files also handles PRP protocol as well.

Taehee Yoo de0083c7ed hsr: avoid to create proc file after unregister
When an interface is being deleted, "/proc/net/dev_snmp6/<interface name>"
is deleted.
The function for this is addrconf_ifdown() in the addrconf_notify() and
it is called by notification, which is NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
But, if NETDEV_CHANGEMTU is triggered after NETDEV_UNREGISTER,
this proc file will be created again.
This recreated proc file will be deleted by netdev_wati_allrefs().
Before netdev_wait_allrefs() is called, creating a new HSR interface
routine can be executed and It tries to create a proc file but it will
find an un-deleted proc file.
At this point, it warns about it.

To avoid this situation, it can use ->dellink() instead of
->ndo_uninit() to release resources because ->dellink() is called
before NETDEV_UNREGISTER.
So, a proc file will not be recreated.

Test commands
    ip link add dummy0 type dummy
    ip link add dummy1 type dummy
    ip link set dummy0 mtu 1300

    #SHELL1
    while :
    do
        ip link add hsr0 type hsr slave1 dummy0 slave2 dummy1
    done

    #SHELL2
    while :
    do
        ip link del hsr0

netdev_upper_dev_link() is useful to manage lower/upper interfaces.
And this function internally validates looping, maximum depth.
All or most virtual interfaces that could have a real interface
(e.g. macsec, macvlan, ipvlan etc.) use lower/upper infrastructure.

Arvid Brodin 56b08fdcf6 net/hsr: Fix NULL pointer dereference and refcnt bugs when deleting a HSR interface.
To repeat:

$ sudo ip link del hsr0
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000018
IP: [<ffffffff8187f495>] hsr_del_port+0x15/0xa0
etc...

Bug description:

As part of the hsr master device destruction, hsr_del_port() is called for each of
the hsr ports. At each such call, the master device is updated regarding features
and mtu. When the master device is freed before the slave interfaces, master will
be NULL in hsr_del_port(), which led to a NULL pointer dereference.

Additionally, dev_put() was called on the master device itself in hsr_del_port(),
causing a refcnt error.

A third bug in the same code path was that the rtnl lock was not taken before
hsr_del_port() was called as part of hsr_dev_destroy().

The reporter (Nicolas Dichtel) also said: "hsr_netdev_notify() supposes that the
port will always be available when the notification is for an hsr interface. It's
wrong. For example, netdev_wait_allrefs() may resend NETDEV_UNREGISTER.". As a
precaution against this, a check for port == NULL was added in hsr_dev_notify().

Arvid Brodin f266a683a4 net/hsr: Better frame dispatch
This patch removes the separate paths for frames coming from the outside, and
frames sent from the HSR device, and instead makes all frames go through
hsr_forward_skb() in hsr_forward.c. This greatly improves code readability and
also opens up the possibility for future support of the HSR Interlink device
that is the basis for HSR RedBoxes and HSR QuadBoxes, as well as VLAN
compatibility.

Other improvements:
* A reduction in the number of times an skb is copied on machines without
  HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS, which improves throughput somewhat.
* Headers are now created using the standard eth_header(), and using the
  standard hard_header_len.
* Each HSR slave now gets its own private skb, so slave-specific fields can be
  correctly set.

Julia Lawall 02f2d5a066 hsr: replace del_timer by del_timer_sync
Use del_timer_sync to ensure that the timer is stopped on all CPUs before
the driver exists.

This change was suggested by Thomas Gleixner.

The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:

Arvid Brodin f421436a59 net/hsr: Add support for the High-availability Seamless Redundancy protocol (HSRv0)
High-availability Seamless Redundancy ("HSR") provides instant failover
redundancy for Ethernet networks. It requires a special network topology where
all nodes are connected in a ring (each node having two physical network
interfaces). It is suited for applications that demand high availability and
very short reaction time.

HSR acts on the Ethernet layer, using a registered Ethernet protocol type to
send special HSR frames in both directions over the ring. The driver creates
virtual network interfaces that can be used just like any ordinary Linux
network interface, for IP/TCP/UDP traffic etc. All nodes in the network ring
must be HSR capable.

This code is a "best effort" to comply with the HSR standard as described in
IEC 62439-3:2010 (HSRv0).
