DSA needs to push a header onto every packet on TX, and this might cause
reallocation under certain scenarios, which might affect, for example,
performance.

But reallocated packets are not standardized in struct pcpu_sw_netstats,
struct net_device_stats or anywhere else, it seems, so we need to roll
our own extra netdevice statistics and expose them to ethtool.

The convention seems to be to use a prefix of pcpu_,
e.g. pcpu_sw_netstats, pcpu_lstats.

Also, why __u64? Neither pcpu_sw_netstats nor pcpu_lstats use __u64.

I find the "pcpu_sw_netstats" to be long and useless. I can easily see
it's percpu based on its usage, I don't need to have it in its name.

> Also, why __u64? Neither pcpu_sw_netstats nor pcpu_lstats use __u64.

Ok, I'll confess I stole the beginning from the dpaa2-eth driver prior
to commit d70446ee1f40 ("dpaa2-eth: send a scatter-gather FD instead of
realloc-ing"), since I knew it used to implement this counter. Then I
combined with what was already there for the standard statistics in DSA.

But to be honest, what I dislike a little bit is that we have 2
structures now. For example, netronome nfp has created one struct
nfp_repr_pcpu_stats that holds everything, even if it duplicates some
counters found elsewhere. But I think that's a bit easier to digest from
a maintainability point of view, what do you think?

Wouldn't a simple unsigned long (like in struct net_device_stats) be
sufficient here? This would make handling the counter much simpler.
And as far as I understand we talk about a packet counter that is
touched in certain scenarios only.

I don't understand, in what sense 'sufficient'? This counter is exported
to ethtool which works with u64 values, how would an unsigned long,
which is u32 on 32-bit systems, help?

Sufficient for me means that it's unlikely that a 32 bit counter will
overflow. Many drivers use the 32 bit counters (on a 32bit system) in
net_device_stats for infrequent events like rx/tx errors, and 64bit
counters only for things like rx/tx bytes, which are more likely to
overflow.

2^32 = 4,294,967,296 = 4 billion packets
Considering that every packet that needs TX timestamping must be
reallocated, protocols such as IEEE 802.1AS will trigger 5 reallocs per
second. So time synchronization alone (background traffic, by all
accounts) will make this counter overflow in 27 years.
Every packet flooded or multicast by the bridge will also trigger
reallocs. In this case it is not difficult to imagine that overflows
might occur sooner.

Even if the above wasn't true. What becomes easier when I make the
counter an unsigned long? I need to make arch-dependent casts between an
unsigned long an an u64 when I expose the counter to ethtool, and there
it ends up being u64 too, doesn't it?

Access to unsigned long should be atomic, so you could avoid the
following and access the counter directly (like other drivers do it
with the net_device_stats members). On a side note, because I'm also
just dealing with it: this_cpu_ptr() is safe only if preemption is
disabled. Is this the case here? Else there's get_cpu_ptr/put_cpu_ptr.
Also, if irq's aren't disabled there might be a need to use
u64_stats_update_begin_irqsave() et al. See:
2695578b896a ("net: usbnet: fix potential deadlock on 32bit hosts")
But I don't know dsa good enough to say whether this is applicable
here.

Could you consider adding "driver" stats under RTM_GETSTATS, 
or a similar new structured interface over ethtool?

Looks like the statistic in question has pretty clear semantics,
and may be more broadly useful.

Why aligned to u64? Compiler should pick a reasonable alignment here 
by itself.

Hi Jakub

I wondered that as well. But:

struct gnet_stats_basic_cpu {
        struct gnet_stats_basic_packed bstats;
        struct u64_stats_sync syncp;
} __aligned(2 * sizeof(u64));

/* often modified stats are per-CPU, other are shared (netdev->stats) */
struct pcpu_sw_netstats {
        u64     rx_packets;
        u64     rx_bytes;
        u64     tx_packets;
        u64     tx_bytes;
        struct u64_stats_sync   syncp;
} __aligned(4 * sizeof(u64));

struct pcpu_lstats {
        u64_stats_t packets;
        u64_stats_t bytes;
        struct u64_stats_sync syncp;
} __aligned(2 * sizeof(u64));

Cargo cult or is there a real need?

Hm, looks like the intent is to enforce power of two alignment 
to prevent the structure from spanning cache lines. Doesn't make 
any difference for 1 counter, but I guess we can keep the style 
for consistency.

I take that back, looks like seqcount_t is 4B, so it will make
a difference, don't mind me :)

lockdep would shout about using smp_processor_id() in preemptible
context? Because it doesn't do that, and never did, but I don't really
understand why, coming to think of it.

DSA xmit and receive path do not run from hardirq context, just softirq,
so I believe the issue reported to Eric there does not apply here.

How about when used as a netconsole? We do support netconsole over DSA

You are right that this appears not to work when configured on the 
kernel command line:

looking at my test notes from 2015 when it was added, I had only tested 
dynamic netconsole while the network devices have already been brought 
up which is why I did not catch it. Let me see if I can fix that somehow.

Hi Florian

NFS root used to work, so there must be some code in the kernel to
bring the master interface up. Might just need copy/pasting.

This is a tiny bit different because netconsole goes through netpoll
which is responsible for doing the interface configuration. Unlike root
over NFS, this does not utilize net/ipv4/ipconfig.c, so the existing DSA
checks in that file are not used. The same "cure" could be applied, but
I am not sure if it will be accepted, we shall see.
