Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 2/5] net: microchip: sparx5: Adding more tc flower keys for the IS2 VCAP

This adds the following TC flower filter keys to Sparx5 for IS2:

- ipv4_addr (sip and dip)
- ipv6_addr (sip and dip)
- control (IPv4 fragments)
- portnum (tcp and udp port numbers)
- basic (L3 and L4 protocol)
- vlan (outer vlan tag info)
- tcp (tcp flags)
- ip (tos field)

as well as an 128 bit keyfield interface on the VCAP API to set the IPv6
addresses.

IS2 supports the classified VLAN information which amounts to the outer
VLAN info in case of multiple tags.

Here are some examples of the tc flower filter operations that are now
supported for the IS2 VCAP:

- IPv4 Addresses
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 12 handle 12 \
protocol ip flower skip_sw dst_ip 1.0.1.1 src_ip 2.0.2.2 \
action trap

- IPv6 Addresses
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 13 handle 13 \
protocol ipv6 flower skip_sw dst_ip 1::1:1 src_ip 2::2:2 \
action trap

- IPv4 fragments
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 14 handle 14 \
protocol ip flower skip_sw dst_ip 3.0.3.3 src_ip 2.0.2.2 \
ip_flags frag/nofirstfrag action trap

- TCP and UDP portnumbers
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 21 handle 21 \
protocol ip flower skip_sw dst_ip 8.8.8.8 src_ip 2.0.2.2 \
ip_proto tcp dst_port 100 src_port 12000 action trap
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 23 handle 23 \
protocol ipv6 flower skip_sw dst_ip 5::5:5 src_ip 2::2:2 \
ip_proto tcp dst_port 300 src_port 13000 action trap

- Layer 3 and Layer 4 protocol info
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 28 handle 28 \
protocol ipv4 flower skip_sw dst_ip 9.0.9.9 src_ip 2.0.2.2 \
ip_proto icmp action trap

- VLAN tag info (outer tag)
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 29 handle 29 \
protocol 802.1q flower skip_sw vlan_id 600 vlan_prio 6 \
vlan_ethtype ipv4 action trap
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 31 handle 31 \
protocol 802.1q flower skip_sw vlan_id 600 vlan_prio 5 \
vlan_ethtype ipv6 action trap

- TCP flags
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 15 handle 15 \
protocol ip flower skip_sw dst_ip 4.0.4.4 src_ip 2.0.2.2 \
ip_proto tcp tcp_flags 0x2a/0x3f action trap

- IP info (IPv4 TOS field)
tc filter add dev eth12 ingress chain 8000000 prio 16 handle 16 \
protocol ip flower skip_sw ip_tos 0x35 dst_ip 5.0.5.5 \
src_ip 2.0.2.2 action trap

The "protocol all" selection is not supported yet.

I'm not able to get this working on PCB135. I tested the VLAN tags and
did not work either (did not test the rest). The example from the
previous patch series doesn't work either after applying this series.

tc qdisc add dev eth3 clsact
tc filter add dev eth3 ingress chain 8000000 prio 10 handle 10 \
protocol all flower skip_sw \
dst_mac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f \
src_mac 2:0:0:0:0:1 \
action trap

This example was provided in your last patch series and worked earlier.

My setup is PC-eth0 -> PCB135-eth3 and I use the following EasyFrames
command to send packets:

ef tx eth0 rep 50 eth smac 02:00:00:00:00:01 dmac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f

IPv4:
tc qdisc add dev eth3 clsact
tc filter add dev eth3 ingress chain 8000000 prio 12 handle 12 \
protocol ip flower skip_sw dst_ip 1.0.1.1 src_ip 2.0.2.2 \
action trap

ef tx eth0 rep 50 eth smac 02:00:00:00:00:01 dmac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f ipv4 dip 1.0.1.1 sip 2.0.2.2

Same setup as above and I can't get this to work either.

I'm using tcpdump to watch the interface to see if the packets are being
trapped or not. Changing the packets' dmac to broadcast lets me see the
packets so I don't have any issue with the setup.

BR,
Casper

Hi Casper,

First of all thanks for the testing effort (as usual). This is most welcome.

Yes I did not really explain this part (and I will update the series with an explanation).

1) The rule example in the previous series will no longer work as expected as the changes to the
port keyset configuration now requires a non-ip frame to generate the MAC_ETYPE keyset.

So to test the MAC_ETYPE case your rule must be non-ip and not use "protocol all" which is not
supported yet.  

Here is an example using the "protocol 0xbeef":

tc qdisc add dev eth3 clsact
tc filter add dev eth3 ingress chain 8000000 prio 10 handle 10 \
        protocol 0xbeef flower skip_sw \
        dst_mac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f \
        src_mac 2:0:0:0:0:1 \
        action trap

And send a frame like this (using EasyFrame):

ef tx eth_fiber1 rep 10 eth dmac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f smac 2::1 et 0xbeef data repeat 50 0x61

I am not sure what went wrong when you tested the ipv4 rule, but if I create the rule that you
quoted above the rule is activated when I send frames like this:

ef tx eth_fiber1 rep 10 eth dmac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f smac 2::2 ipv4 dip 1.0.1.1 sip 2.0.2.2 data
repeat 50 0x61

Note that the smac is changed to avoid hitting the first rule.

2) As for the VLAN based rules, the VLAN information used by IS2 is the classified VID and PCP, so
you need to create a bridge and add the VID to the bridge and the ports to see this in action.

IS0 uses the VLAN tags in the frames directly: this is one of the differences between IS0 and IS2.

This is how I set up a bridge on my PCB134 when I do the testing:

ip link add name br5 type bridge
ip link set dev br5 up
ip link set eth12 master br5
ip link set eth13 master br5
ip link set eth14 master br5
ip link set eth15 master br5
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth12.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth13.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth14.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth15.disable_ipv6=1
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.br5.disable_ipv6=1
ip link set dev br5 type bridge vlan_filtering 1
bridge vlan add dev eth12 vid 600
bridge vlan add dev eth13 vid 600
bridge vlan add dev eth14 vid 600
bridge vlan add dev eth15 vid 600
bridge vlan add dev br5 vid 600 self

This should now allow you to use the classified VLAN information in IS2 on these four ports.

Maybe you are hitting the first rule here, so changing the smac to avoid that, should help.

Thanks, this works. I saw now that you even mentioned that "protocol
all" doesn't work at the very end of this commit message.

Looks like adding the "data" at the end of it makes a difference when
creating the packets. Without it the ip.proto field becomes 17 (UDP).
With "data" it becomes 0 (IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option). Ef will defaults to
17 if no data is specified, otherwise it ends up 0. And the reason
UDP doesn't get trapped I assume is because this rule falls under the
IPV4_OTHER keyset (as opposed to IPV4_TCP_UDP).

Doing just this was enough:
ef tx eth0 rep 10 eth dmac 0a:0b:0c:0d:0e:0f smac 2::2 ipv4 dip 1.0.1.1 sip 2.0.2.2 data

This also solved it for VLANs. I have successfully tested ipv4, ipv6,
protocol info (ICMP), and vlan tag info from the examples you provided.

Tested on Microchip PCB135 switch.

Yes the EasyFrame tool just uses defaults if you do not specify any data for the frame, so I usually
try to remember to do that to tweak the test a bit.

Previous series in this context means previous revision or something
that was already merged?

How are you using chains?

I thought you need to offload FLOW_ACTION_GOTO to get to a chain,
and I get no hits on this driver.

Casper refers to this series (the first of the VCAP related series) that was merged on Oct 24th:

The chain ids are referring to the VCAP instances and their lookups. There are some more details
about this in the series I referred to above.

The short version is that this allows you to select where in the frame processing flow your rule
will be inserted (using ingress or egress and the chain id).

I have not yet added the goto action, but one use of that is to chain a filter from one VCAP
instance/lookup to another.

The goto action will be added in a soon-to-come series. I just wanted to avoid a series getting too
large, but on the other hand each of them should provide functionality that you can use in practice.

Alright, looks like this is only in net-next so no risk of breaking
existing users.

That said you should reject filters you can't support with an extack
message set. Also see below.

The behavior of the offload must be the same as the SW implementation.
It sounds like in your case it very much isn't, as adding rules to
a magic chain in SW, without the goto will result in the rules being
unused.

Yes, this is a new feature.

That should also be the case.

I just checked that using an unsupported key, action or chain will result in an extack error
message.

I will add the goto support to my implementation so that it will be consistent with the SW
implementation, adding a check to ensure that there is a goto action when HW offloading.

I have sent a version 4 of the series, but I realized after sending it, that I
was probably not understanding the implications of what you were saying
entirely.

As far as I understand it now, I need to have a matchall rule that does a goto
from chain 0 (as this is where all traffic processing starts) to my first IS2
VCAP chain and this rule activates the IS2 VCAP lookup.

Each of the rules in this VCAP chain need to point to the next chain etc.

If the matchall rule is deleted the IS2 VCAP lookups should be disabled as there
is no longer any way to reach the VCAP chains.

Does that sound OK?

It does as far as I understand.

I haven't grasped what the purpose of using multiple chains is in
case of your design. IIRC correctly other drivers use it for instance
to partition TCAMs with each chain having a different set of fields it
can match on. But I don't see templates used in sparx5.

In general in TC offloads you can reject any configuration you can't
(or choose not to) support, and make up your own constraints (e.g. only
specific priority or chain values are supported).

But for a "target" ruleset, i.e. ruleset comprised fully of rules you
do offload - the behavior of executing that ruleset in software and in
the device must be the same.

Dunno if that helps :)

Yes, so far I have only added the IS2 VCAP, but there are 3 more that I am
planning to to add, and they have very different capabilities in terms of keys
and actions, so I think it makes good sense to keep them in separate chains.

Understood.

It does, thanks!

I been fireing up a QEMU instance so I have been able to test my understanding,
and it looks like I now have the same experience when I test the same rule there
and in the hardware of Sparx5.
