treewide: Convert new and leftover hrtimer_init() users

2025-04-05T08:30:17Z

hrtimer_setup() takes the callback function pointer as argument and initializes the timer completely. Replace hrtimer_init() and the open coded initialization of hrtimer::function with the new setup mechanism. Coccinelle scripted cleanup. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

netdevsim: add dummy device notifiers

2025-04-03T22:32:08Z

In order to exercise and verify notifiers' locking assumptions, register dummy notifiers (via register_netdevice_notifier_dev_net). Share notifier event handler that enforces the assumptions with lock_debug.c (rename and export rtnl_net_debug_event as netdev_debug_event). Add ops lock asserts to netdev_debug_event.

netdevsim: 'support' multi-buf XDP

2025-03-12T20:39:59Z

Don't error out on large MTU if XDP is multi-buf. The ping test now tests ping with XDP and high MTU. netdevsim doesn't actually run the prog (yet?) so it doesn't matter if the prog was multi-buf..

net: drop rtnl_lock for queue_mgmt operations

2025-03-12T20:32:35Z

All drivers that use queue API are already converted to use netdev instance lock. Move netdev instance lock management to the netlink layer and drop rtnl_lock.

net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header

2025-03-08T17:06:50Z

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching the header with the helpers). The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

net: hold netdev instance lock during queue operations

2025-03-06T20:59:43Z

For the drivers that use queue management API, switch to the mode where core stack holds the netdev instance lock. This affects the following drivers: - bnxt - gve - netdevsim Originally I locked only start/stop, but switched to holding the lock over all iterations to make them look atomic to the device (feels like it should be easier to reason about).

net: hold netdev instance lock during ndo_open/ndo_stop

2025-03-06T20:59:43Z

For the drivers that use shaper API, switch to the mode where core stack holds the netdev lock. This affects two drivers: * iavf - already grabs netdev lock in ndo_open/ndo_stop, so mostly remove these * netdevsim - switch to _locked APIs to avoid deadlock iavf_close diff is a bit confusing, the existing call looks like this: iavf_close() { netdev_lock() .. netdev_unlock() wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue) } I change it to the following: netdev_lock() iavf_close() { .. netdev_unlock() wait_event_timeout(down_waitqueue) netdev_lock() // reusing this lock call } netdev_unlock() Since I'm reusing existing netdev_lock call, so it looks like I only add netdev_unlock.

netdevsim: call napi_schedule from a timer context

2025-02-20T21:18:31Z

The netdevsim driver was experiencing NOHZ tick-stop errors during packet transmission due to pending softirq work when calling napi_schedule(). This issue was observed when running the netconsole selftest, which triggered the following error message: NOHZ tick-stop error: local softirq work is pending, handler #08!!! To fix this issue, introduce a timer that schedules napi_schedule() from a timer context instead of calling it directly from the TX path. Create an hrtimer for each queue and kick it from the TX path, which then schedules napi_schedule() from the timer context.

netdevsim: allow normal queue reset while down

2025-02-08T01:21:03Z

Resetting queues while the device is down should be legal. Allow it, test it. Ideally we'd test this with a real device supporting devmem but I don't have access to such devices.

net: move HDS config from ethtool state

2025-01-20T19:44:57Z

Separate the HDS config from the ethtool state struct. The HDS config contains just simple parameters, not state. Having it as a separate struct will make it easier to clone / copy and also long term potentially make it per-queue.
