This patch has the SW FCoE driver and the bnx2fc
driver make use of the new fcoe_sysfs API added
earlier in this patch series.
After this patch a fcoe_ctlr_device is allocated with
private data in this order.
+------------------+ +------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device | | fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+ +------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr | | fcoe_ctlr |
+------------------+ +------------------+
| fcoe_interface | | bnx2fc_interface |

libfcoe also takes part in this new model since it
discovers and manages fcoe_fcf instances. The memory
allocation is different for FCFs. I didn't want to
impact libfcoe's fcoe_fcf processing, so this patch
creates fcoe_fcf_device instances for each discovered
fcoe_fcf. The two are paired using a (void * priv)
member of the fcoe_ctlr_device. This allows libfcoe
to continue maintaining its list of fcoe_fcf instances
and simply attaches and detaches them from existing
or new fcoe_fcf_device instances.

This patch adds a 'fcoe bus' infrastructure to the kernel
that is driven by changes to libfcoe which allow LLDs to
present FIP (FCoE Initialization Protocol) discovered
entities and their attributes to user space via sysfs.
This patch adds the following APIs-
fcoe_ctlr_device_add
fcoe_ctlr_device_delete
fcoe_fcf_device_add
fcoe_fcf_device_delete
They allow the LLD to expose the FCoE ENode Controller
and any discovered FCFs (Fibre Channel Forwarders, e.g.
FCoE switches) to the user. Each of these new devices
has their own bus_type so that they are grouped together
for easy lookup from a user space application. Each
new class has an attribute_group to expose attributes
for any created instances. The attributes are-
fcoe_ctlr_device
* fcf_dev_loss_tmo
* lesb_link_fail
* lesb_vlink_fail
* lesb_miss_fka
* lesb_symb_err
* lesb_err_block
* lesb_fcs_error
fcoe_fcf_device
* fabric_name
* switch_name
* priority
* selected
* fc_map
* vfid
* mac
* fka_peroid
* fabric_state
* dev_loss_tmo
A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
is also added by this patch. It is nice to have so that a
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires or the
FCF is rediscovered and becomes "Connected."
This patch generates a few checkpatch.pl WARNINGS that
I'm not sure what to do about. They're macros modeled
around the FC Transport attribute building macros, which
have the same 'feature' where the caller can ommit a cast
in the argument list and no cast occurs in the code. I'm
not sure how to keep the code condensed while keeping the
macros. Any advice would be appreciated.

Currently the fcoe_ctlr associated with an interface is allocated
as a member of struct fcoe_interface. This causes problems when
attempting to use the new fcoe_sysfs APIs which allow us to allocate
the fcoe_interface as private data to the fcoe_ctlr_device instance.
The problem is that libfcoe wants to be able use pointer math to find a
fcoe_ctlr's fcoe_ctlr_device as well as finding a fcoe_ctlr_device's
assocated fcoe_ctlr. To do this we need to allocate the
fcoe_ctlr_device, with private data for the LLD. The private data
contains the fcoe_ctlr and its private data is the fcoe_interface.
This patch only allocates the fcoe_interface with the fcoe_ctlr, the
fcoe_ctlr_device will be added in a later patch, which will complete
the below diagram-
+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr_device |
+------------------+
| fcoe_ctlr |
+------------------+
| fcoe_interface |
+------------------+
This prep work will allow us to go from a fcoe_ctlr_device instance
to its fcoe_ctlr as well as from a fcoe_ctlr to its fcoe_ctlr_device
once the fcoe_sysfs API is in use (later patches in this series).

This change fixes the following regression by removing

Remove lport from net device and then do synchronize net device to flush
inflight rx frames for the lport before doing fcoe_percpu_clean.
In case of master lport, remove all rx packet handlers completely and
then only do fcoe_percpu_clean. This required splitting fcoe_interface_cleanup
to do remove part separately and for that added func fcoe_interface_remove
and then call it from fcoe_if_destory before doing fcoe_percpu_clean.
However if fcoe_interface_remove() is already called then
don't call again from fcoe_interface_cleanup() to preserve its
existing flows.
This patch along with Neil's other patch to avoid soft irq context
on ingress will avoid passing up frames on disabled lport as

The rtnl_lock is primarily used to serialize networking
driver changes as well as to ensure that a networking driver
is not removed when making changes to it. fcoe also uses
the rtnl_lock to protect the fcoe hostlist.
fcoe_create holds the rtnl_lock over the entirity of the
routine including a the call to fcoe_ctlr_link_up.
This causes the below deadlock because fcoe_ctlr_link_up
acquires the fcoe_ctlr ctlr_mutex and this deadlocks with
a libfcoe thread that acquires the fcoe_ctlr ctlr_mutex and
then the rtnl_lock (to update a MAC address).
This patch drops the rtnl_lock before calling
fcoe_ctlr_link_up and therefore the deadlock is prevented.

There is potentially lots of contention for the rx_list_lock. On a cpu that is
receiving lots of fcoe traffic, the softirq context has to add and release the
lock for every frame it receives, as does the receiving per-cpu thread. We can
reduce this contention somewhat by altering the per-cpu threads loop such that
when traffic is detected on the fcoe_rx_list, we splice it to a temporary list.
In this way, we can process multiple skbs while only having to acquire and
release the fcoe_rx_list lock once.

as FPMA, and the second one (fcoe_mac) used as destination address for
sending/receiving FCoE packets. fip_mac continues to be used for FIP traffic.
This patch introduces fcoe_mac in fcoe_fcf structure. For regular switches,
both fcoe_mac and fip_mac will be the same. For the switches that send
additional MAC descriptor, fcoe_mac is updated.

commit 859b7b649a introduced the ability to call
fcoe_recv_frame in softirq context. While this is beneficial to performance,
its not safe to do, as it breaks the serialization of access to the lport
structure (i.e. when an fcoe interface is being torn down, theres no way to
serialize the teardown effort with the completion of receieve operations
occuring in softirq context. As a result, lport (and other) data structures can
be read and modified in parallel leading to corruption. Most notable is the
vport list, which is protected by a mutex, that will cause a panic if a softirq
receive while said mutex is locked. Additionaly, the ema_list, discussed here:
http://lists.open-fcoe.org/pipermail/devel/2012-February/011947.html
Can be corrupted if a list traversal occurs in softirq context at the same time
as a list delete in process context. And generally the lport state variables
will not be stable, and may lead to unpredictable results.
The most direct fix is to remove the bits from the above commit that allowed
fcoe_recv_frame to be called in softirq context. We just force all frames to be
handled by the per-cpu rx threads. This will allow the fcoe_if_destroy's use of
fcoe_percpu_clean to function properly, ensuring that no frames are being
received while the lport is being torn down.

Currently all port deletion is routed though the FCoE
workqueue (fcoe_wq). When fc_remove_host is called on
an N_Port (for example, from fcoe_destroy) the vports
are queued into a FC Transport workqueue. fc_remove_host
flushes that queue and each vport is passed to fcoe's
fcoe_vport_destroy, which simply queues the associated
fcoe_ports for later deletion. This queue cannot be
flushed within the N_Ports destroy path because of
circular locking issues. The result is that the NPIV
ports are destroyed after the N_Port, which is reverse
of how they are created.
This quirk causes fcoe to keep references on the
fcoe_interface shared by each of these ports (N_Port
and NPIV). Changing the ordering such that NPIV ports
are destroyed before the N_Port will allow us to remove
reference counting on the fcoe_interface instances.
This patch simply allows fcoe_vport_destory to destroy
NPIV ports without deferring them to a workqueue context.
This ensures that when fc_remove_host is called the
NPIV ports will be destroyed first before the N_Port and
allows reference counting on the fcoe's fcoe_interface
to be remove in a later patch.

The label implies that it should be called when
there is 'nomod.' I read that to mean that the
module reference 'get' failed. However, it's only
called when the module reference 'get' succeeded.
I think it makes more sense to name the label,
'out_putmod' since it should be called when we
need to 'put' the module reference taken in the
routine before returning.

This is a regression introduced by commit
1ff9918b62 The else statement here is breaking
the initiator logic of allocating xid from the offloaded em xid pool for READ
I/O only to use DDP, as shown by the snippet of trace below, where the WRITE
is using xid 0x5 from the offloaded em xid pool:
Protocol VID Len S_ID D_ID OX_ID RX_ID Summary
..
*FCP 228 96 0b.08.01 -> 01.0f.00 0x0005 0xffff SCSI: Write(10) LUN: 0x00
FCP 228 76 01.0f.00 -> 0b.08.01 0x0005 0x828d XFER_RDY
...
The bug is in the else statement, for both initiator and target, the
new command will have FC frame header bit 23 (FC_FC_EX_CTX) cleared as it was
originated from the initiator. Also, this is assuming the frame header is
already filled up, which is only true for target since for initiator, this is a
new frame and oem_match gets called when em tries get xid for this i/o before
it is filled up and sent out.
The fix is to check if there is a fc_fcp_pkt associated w/ this frame from
fr_fsp(fp), since fr_fsp(fp) is NULL for tcm_fc target and non-I/O frame in
initiator. This should also return true for target only if it is an
FC_RCTL_DD_UNSOL_CMD and rx_id is not allocated.

This patch does several things:
- introduces __ethtool_get_settings which is called from ethtool code and
from drivers as well. Put ASSERT_RTNL there.
- dev_ethtool_get_settings() is replaced by __ethtool_get_settings()
- changes calling in drivers so rtnl locking is respected. In
iboe_get_rate was previously ->get_settings() called unlocked. This
fixes it. Also prb_calc_retire_blk_tmo() in af_packet.c had the same
problem. Also fixed by calling __dev_get_by_index() instead of
dev_get_by_index() and holding rtnl_lock for both calls.
- introduces rtnl_lock in bnx2fc_vport_create() and fcoe_vport_create()
so bnx2fc_if_create() and fcoe_if_create() are called locked as they
are from other places.

- Simplify fcoe_select_cpu() by removing unnecessary checks to

When NPIV port destroy handler is called it does not do all the cleanup

This patch rearranges the sequence in which the fcoe_if_destory() and

Problem: Selection of RX queue on target is based on RX-ID. FCoE used
8 Net Rx queues. HW post the packets based on rx_id %
num_rx_queue. Due to this has based filtering, only one CPU is busy
servicing incoming request including post-processing of incoming
request. This is gating factor because
1. Only one CPU is utilized 100% while others CPUs are not used at all.
2. CPU which received request assign "sequence' by selecting exchange
from per CPU pool (num_ddp_context / num_online_cpus,
approxi.). Due to which if if rate of incoming request is higher
than rate of servicing request, existing code path end of sending
"BUSY" response (SAM_STAT_BUSY because unable to allocate
exchange).
Fix: Fan-out incoming request to all other CPUs excluding the CPU
which is receiving all incoiming request. This path also addresses,
selecting same CPU based on rx_id from received frame for completion
of the request such as "releasing exchange to the per CPU Pool". This
fix is applicable for FCoE target since initiator code path already
takes care of selecting CPU to complete post-processing of request
once OX_ID is assigned.

Problem: Earlier mechanism of selection of CPU was, to select the same CPU
which has received incoming request. Hence in case of rx_id = 0xFFFF,
request was always posted to same NetRx queue, hence only 1 CPU is utilized
for handling the command. It was also causing problem of "running out of
exchanges from per CPU pool of exchanges (in case of DDP offload)
Fix: Implemented new algo. to select CPU for post-processing of
incoming commands when rx_id is unknown. This is simple Round robin

libfcoe's interface consists of create, destroy, enable,

paramaters added durring the module initialization. A
concern arose that the module parameters were being added
with write permissions before the module had completed
initialization. The following code was added to each
sysfs store file.
* Make sure the module has been initialized, and is not about to be
* removed. Module parameter sysfs files are writable before the
* module_init function is called and after module_exit.
*/
if (THIS_MODULE->state != MODULE_STATE_LIVE)
goto out_nodev;
This check was called out as unhelpful as the module can
go dead at any time and therefore its state isn't a reliable
thing to look at as a sign of stability and initialization
completion. Also, that functional interfaces like these
should be added after module initialization.
This patch removes the unnecessary checks and hopes to
disprove the concern about initialization ordering.

transports to register with libfcoe before any operation

This makes sure that when a driver calls the ethtool's
get/set_settings() callback of another driver, the data passed to it
is clean. This guarantees that speed_hi will be zeroed correctly if
the called callback doesn't explicitely set it: we are sure we don't
get a corrupted speed from the underlying driver. We also take care of
setting the cmd field appropriately (ETHTOOL_GSET/SSET).
This applies to dev_ethtool_get_settings(), which now makes sure it
sets up that ethtool command parameter correctly before passing it to

Reset using "fcoeadm -r" also needs to restart FIP before
doing libfc lport reset, this is needed for new switch firmware
requiring FIP solicitation before doing FLOGI again during reset.
So this patch does this by doing fcoe_ctlr_link_down and then
fcoe_ctlr_link_up to reset the interface.
The fcoe_ctlr_link_down call path also does lport reset
and then fcoe_ctlr_link_up re-starts the fabric login after
doing FIP solicitation first to get reset feature working
again.

fcoe uses the system_wq to destroy ports and the work items need to be
flushed before the driver is unloaded. As the work items free the
containing data structure, they can't be flushed directly. The
workqueue should be flushed instead.
Also, the destruction works can be chained - ie. destruction of a port
may lead to destruction of another port where the work item for the
former queues the work for the latter. Currently, the depth of chain
can be at most two and fcoe_exit() makes sure everything is complete
by calling flush_scheduled_work() twice.
With commit c8efcc25 (workqueue: allow chained queueing during
destruction), destroy_workqueue() can take care of chained works on
workqueue destruction. Add and use fcoe_wq instead. Simply
destroying fcoe_wq on driver unload takes care of flushing.

Remove the existing sysfs entry points of the fcoe.ko module parameters that

Add the new fcoe_transport.c file that implements basic fcoe transport
interface. Eventually, the sysfs entries to create/destroy/enable/disable
an FCoE instance will be coming to the fcoe transport layer, who does a
look-up to find the corresponding transport provide and pass the corresponding
action over to the identified provider.
The fcoe.ko will become the default fcoe transport provider that can support
FCoE on any given netdev interfaces, as the Open-FCoE.org's default software
FCoE HBA solution. Any vendor specific FCoE HBA driver that is built on top
of Open-FCoE's kernel stack of libfc & libfcoe as well as the user land tool
of fcoe-utils can easily plug-in and start running FCoE on their network
interfaces. The fcoe.ko will be converted to act as the default provider if
no vendor specific transport provider is found, as it is always added to the
very end of the list of attached transports.

Allowing FCoE LOGO followed by CVL in this case prevents
FIP login back to the FCF and then keeps lport offline,
only FIP LOGO and CLV needs to be processed while in
FIP mode, therefore this patch drops FCoE LOGO in FIP mode.
Added fcoe_filter_frames() to filter out above mentioned LOGO
in fcoe rx path along with other existing filtering in code
for bad CRC frames. Adding separate fcoe_filter_frames function
helped with better code indentations and if needed then same
will allow adding more filters at one place in future.
This LOGO drop is added after FCP frames passed up to avoid

vports are not grabbing module references but are
releasing them. This causes the module reference count
to decrement too many times and it wraps around past 0.
The solution is to do a module_put() in
fcoe_interface_release() so that the reference is only
released when the fcoe_interface is released. There is a
one-to-one relationship between the N_Port and the
fcoe_interface, so the module reference will only be
dropped when the N_Port is destroyed
To create symetry in the code this patch moves the
try_module_get() call into fcoe_interface_create(). This
means that only the N_Port will grab a reference to the
module when its corresponding fcoe_interface is created.
This patch also makes it so that the fcoe_interface_create()
routine encodes any error codes in the fcoe_interface
pointer returned. This way its caller, fcoe_create(), can
return an accurate error code.

This happens when then tearing down the fcoe interface with active I/O.
The back trace shows dead000000200200 in RAX, i.e., LIST_POISON2, indicating
that the fsp is already being dequeued, which is probably why no complaining
was seen in fc_fcp_destroy() about outstanding fsp not freed, since we dequeue
it in the end of fc_io_compl() before releasing it. The bug is due to the
fact that we have already destroyed lport's scsi_pkt_pool while on-going i/o
is still accessing it through fc_fcp_pkt_release(), like this trace or the
similar code path from scsi-ml to fc_eh_abort, etc. This is fixed by moving
the fc_fcp_destroy() after lport is detached from scsi-ml since fc_fcp_destroy
is supposed to called only once where no lport lock is taken, otherwise the
fc_fcp_pkt_release() would have to grab the lport lock.

A previous patch attempted to validate the destination
MAC address of a FCoE frame by checking that MAC
address against the received port's MAC address. The
implementation seems fine on the surface, but any
VN_Ports added using the NPIV feature will have their
own MAC addresses and these MACs were not being checked,
which prevented any NPIV VN_Ports from receiving frames.
In other words, the following patch has broken NPIV.
519e5135e2
[SCSI] fcoe: adds src and dest mac address
checking for fcoe frames
Part of the offending patch is correct, but the part
that broke NPIV was attempting to satisfy FC-BB-5
section D.5, 2.1-
(discard frames that) "contain a destination MAC
address/destination N_Port_ID pair that was not
assigned by an FCF to one of the VN_Ports on the ENode"
The language does _not_ say to compare the destination
FC-MAP/destination N_Port_ID, but instead to compare
the destination MAC address/destination N_Port_ID.
>From the FC-BB-5 specification,
"A properly formed FPMA is one in which the 24 most
significant bits equal the Fabric’s FC-MAP value and
the least significant 24 bits equal the N_Port_ID
assigned to the VN_Port by the FCF."
This means that we need to compare the FC Frame's
destination FCID against the embedded FCID in the
destination MAC address. This patch checks the lower
24 bits of the destination MAC address against
destination FCID in the Fibre Channel frame.
For MAC validation the first line of defense is the
hardware MAC filtering. Each VN_Port will have a
unicast MAC addresses added to the hardware's
filtering table. The Ethernet driver should drop any
MACs not destined for a programmed MAC. This patch
adds a second line of defense that very specfically
compares an element in the FC frame against an element
in the Ethernet header, which is appropriate for the
FCoE layer.
Many alternative approaches were considered, including
a LLD callback from libfc. The second most reasonable
approach seemed to be walking the list of NPIV ports
and check each of their MAC addresses against the
destination MAC address of the received frame. The
problem with this approach was that it is likely that
performance would suffer with the more NPIV ports added
to the system since every received frame would need to
walk this list, comparing each entry's MAC.

as union. Fix is to change from union to struct for "buf" in function fcoe_ctlr_vn_recv.
