2018-10-15net/ncsi: Extend NC-SI Netlink interface to allow user space to send NC-SI ↵Justin.Lee1@Dell.com1-0/+8
command The new command (NCSI_CMD_SEND_CMD) is added to allow user space application to send NC-SI command to the network card. Also, add a new attribute (NCSI_ATTR_DATA) for transferring request and response. The work flow is as below. Request: User space application -> Netlink interface (msg) -> new Netlink handler - ncsi_send_cmd_nl() -> ncsi_xmit_cmd() Response: Response received - ncsi_rcv_rsp() -> internal response handler - ncsi_rsp_handler_xxx() -> ncsi_rsp_handler_netlink() -> ncsi_send_netlink_rsp () -> Netlink interface (msg) -> user space application Command timeout - ncsi_request_timeout() -> ncsi_send_netlink_timeout () -> Netlink interface (msg with zero data length) -> user space application Error: Error detected -> ncsi_send_netlink_err () -> Netlink interface (err msg) -> user space application Signed-off-by: Justin Lee <justin.lee1@dell.com> Reviewed-by: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas <sam@mendozajonas.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2018-10-05net/ncsi: Add NCSI OEM command supportVijay Khemka1-3/+27
This patch adds OEM commands and response handling. It also defines OEM command and response structure as per NCSI specification along with its handlers. ncsi_cmd_handler_oem: This is a generic command request handler for OEM commands ncsi_rsp_handler_oem: This is a generic response handler for OEM commands Signed-off-by: Vijay Khemka <vijaykhemka@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Justin Lee <justin.lee1@dell.com> Reviewed-by: Samuel Mendoza-Jonas <sam@mendozajonas.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2017-06-16networking: make skb_push & __skb_push return void pointersJohannes Berg1-1/+1
It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *, and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not. Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer was used directly, all done with the following spatch: @@ expression SKB, LEN; typedef u8; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - *(fn(SKB, LEN)) + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression E, SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; type T; @@ - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN))) + E = fn(SKB, LEN) @@ expression SKB, LEN; identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum }; @@ - fn(SKB, LEN)[0] + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN) Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

2017-06-16networking: convert many more places to skb_put_zero()Johannes Berg1-24/+12
There were many places that my previous spatch didn't find, as pointed out by yuan linyu in various patches. The following spatch found many more and also removes the now unnecessary casts: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len; expression skb; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len); ) ... when != p ( p2 = (t2)p; -memset(p2, 0, len); | -memset(p, 0, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_zero(skb, sizeof(t)); ) ... when != p ( p2 = (t2)p; -memset(p2, 0, sizeof(*p)); | -memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len; @@ -memset(skb_put(skb, len), 0, len); +skb_put_zero(skb, len); Apply it to the tree (with one manual fixup to keep the comment in vxlan.c, which spatch removed.)

2016-10-04net/ncsi: Allow to extend NCSI request propertiesGavin Shan1-1/+1
There is only one NCSI request property for now: the response for the sent command need drive the workqueue or not. So we had one field (@driven) for the purpose. We lost the flexibility to extend NCSI request properties. This replaces @driven with @flags and @req_flags in NCSI request and NCSI command argument struct. Each bit of the newly introduced field can be used for one property. No functional changes introduced.

2016-07-19net/ncsi: NCSI command packet handlerGavin Shan1-0/+367
The NCSI command packets are sent from MC (Management Controller) to remote end. They are used for multiple purposes: probe existing NCSI package/channel, retrieve NCSI channel's capability, configure NCSI channel etc. This defines struct to represent NCSI command packets and introduces function ncsi_xmit_cmd(), which will be used to transmit NCSI command packet according to the request. The request is represented by struct ncsi_cmd_arg. Signed-off-by: Gavin Shan <gwshan@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Joel Stanley <joel@jms.id.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
