[PATCH v2 net-next 3/4] net: dsa: felix: drop oversized frames with tc-taprio instead of hanging the port

From: Vladimir Oltean
Date: Tue Jun 28 2022 - 10:53:16 EST


Currently, sending a packet into a time gate too small for it (or always
closed) causes the queue system to hold the frame forever. Even worse,
this frame isn't subject to aging either, because for that to happen, it
needs to be scheduled for transmission in the first place. But the frame
will consume buffer memory and frame references while it is forever held
in the queue system.

Before commit a4ae997adcbd ("net: mscc: ocelot: initialize watermarks to
sane defaults"), this behavior was somewhat subtle, as the switch had a
more intricately tuned default watermark configuration out of reset,
which did not allow any single port and tc to consume the entire switch
buffer space. Nonetheless, the held frames are still there, and they
reduce the total backplane capacity of the switch.

However, after the aforementioned commit, the behavior can be very
clearly seen, since we deliberately allow each {port, tc} to consume the
entire shared buffer of the switch minus the reservations (and we
disable all reservations by default). That is to say, we allow a
permanently closed tc-taprio gate to hang the entire switch.

A careful inspection of the documentation shows that the QSYS:Q_MAX_SDU
per-port-tc registers serve 2 purposes: one is for guard band calculation
(when zero, this falls back to QSYS:PORT_MAX_SDU), and the other is to
enable oversized frame dropping (when non-zero).

Currently the QSYS:Q_MAX_SDU registers are all zero, so oversized frame
dropping is disabled. The goal of the change is to enable it seamlessly.
For that, we need to hook into the MTU change, tc-taprio change, and
port link speed change procedures, since we depend on these variables.

Frames are not dropped on egress due to a queue system oversize
condition, instead that egress port is simply excluded from the mask of
valid destination ports for the packet. If there are no destination
ports at all, the ingress counter that increments is the generic
"drop_tail" in ethtool -S.

The issue exists in various forms since the tc-taprio offload was introduced.

v1->v2:
- reword commit message regarding "drop_tail" counter
- hardcode 1000 rather than PSEC_PER_NSEC to eliminate dependency on
include/linux/time64.h change (to be fixed up later)
