NCM specs are not actually mandating a specific position in the frame for
the NDP (Network Datagram Pointer). However, some Huawei devices will
ignore our aggregates if it is not placed after the datagrams it points
to. Add support for doing just this, in a per-device configurable way.
While at it, update NCM subdrivers, disabling this functionality in all of
them, except in huawei_cdc_ncm where it is enabled instead.
We aren't making any distinction between different Huawei NCM devices,
based on what the vendor driver does. Standard NCM devices are left
unaffected: if they are compliant, they should be always usable, still
stay on the safe side.
This change has been tested and working with a Huawei E3131 device (which
works regardless of NDP position), a Huawei E3531 (also working both
ways) and an E3372 (which mandates NDP to be after indexed datagrams).
V1->V2:
- corrected wrong NDP acronym definition

To have an idea of the effects of the protocol coalescing
it's useful to have some counters showing the different
aspects.
Due to the asymmetrical usbnet interface the netdev
rx_bytes counter has been counting real received payload,
while the tx_bytes counter has included the NCM/MBIM
framing overhead. This overhead can be many times the
payload because of the aggressive padding strategy of
this driver, and will vary a lot depending on device
and traffic.
With very few exceptions, users are only interested in
the payload size. Having an somewhat accurate payload
byte counter is particularly important for mobile
broadband devices, which many NCM devices and of course
all MBIM devices are. Users and userspace applications
will use this counter to monitor account quotas.
Having protocol specific counters for the overhead, we are
now able to correct the tx_bytes netdev counter so that
it shows the real payload

The NCM class match in the cdc_mbim driver is confusing and
cause unexpected behaviour. The USB core guarantees that a
USB interface is in altsetting 0 when probing starts. This
means that devices implementing a NCM 1.0 backwards
compatible MBIM function (a "NCM/MBIM function") always hit
the NCM entry in the cdc_mbim driver match table. Such
functions will never match any of the MBIM entries.
This causes unexpeced behaviour for cases where the NCM and
MBIM entries are differet, which is currently the case for
all except Ericsson devices.
Improve the probing of NCM/MBIM functions by looking up the
device again in the cdc_mbim match table after switching to
the MBIM identity.
The shared altsetting selection is updated to better
accommodate the new probing logic, returning the preferred
altsetting for the control interface instead of the data
interface. The control interface altsetting update is moved
to the cdc_mbim driver. It is never necessary to change the
control interface altsetting for NCM.

DSS VLANs are pseudo network interfaces representing arbitrary
data streams, and specifically not IP. Preventing spurious IP
packets can sometimes be a hassle. The kernel will for example
send an IPv6 Router Solicit when the interface is brought up
unless the user has been careful enough to disable IPv6 first.
Such packets forwared to a MBIM DSS session will look like
spurious noise to the device, and can cause it to log an error
or even malfunction.
Drop all IP packets on the designated DSS VLANs to prevent such
unwanted spurious transmissions.

The cdc_mbim driver maps 802.1q VLANs to MBIM IP and DSS
sessions. MBIM IP session 0 is handled as an exception and
is mapped to untagged frames.
This patch adds optional support for remapping MBIM IP
session 0 to 802.1q VLAN ID 4094 instead. The default
behaviour is not changed. The new behaviour is triggered
by adding a link for this previously unsupported VLAN.
The untagged mapping was chosen initially to support the
assumed most common use case: Most current MBIM devices only
support a single IP session (i.e. session 0 only), and using
untagged frames lets the users completely ignore the
additonal complexity of the multiplexing layer.
But when the multiplexing features of MBIM are used, then
this netdev gets a double meaning: It becomes the master
interface for all the VLAN subdevs the additional sessions
are mapped to, while still serving as the untagged IP
interface for session 0.
This can be problematic, especially when using Device Service
Streams (DSS), as have become apparent recently with the
availability of devices with real DSS support. Some use cases
need to e.g set a MTU which is higher than allowed for IP
Session 0. The dual role also leads to the situation where
the IP Session 0 interface cannot be taken down without
breaking unrelated IP or DSS sessions - a devastating side
effect which applications managing a simple IP session cannot
be expected to be aware of. A typical DHCP client will assume
that it should bring the interface down after releasing the
IP lease.
These problems can be avoided by tagging IP session 0 packets
too, making this session similar to all other multiplexed
sessions. This redefines the main netdev as an upper master
interface only.

This driver maps 802.1q VLANs to MBIM sessions. The mapping is based on
a bogus assumption that all tagged frames will use the acceleration API
because we enable NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_TX. This fails for e.g. frames
tagged in userspace using packet sockets. Such frames will erroneously
be considered as untagged and silently dropped based on not being IP.
Fix by falling back to looking into the ethernet header for a tag if no
accelerated tag was found.

A number of devices in the wild have turned out to require ZLPs.
Even if this is a spec violation, our priority is to make any
device work as good as possible. Devices needing ZLPs will fail
to receive any full sized frame we send. On the other hand,
devices which do not need the ZLP will still work if we send
them.
This gives us no other option than sending ZLPs by default.
This will prevent devices conforming to the spec from making the
optimizations which are possible without ZLPs. Adding known
such devices to a whitelist, to avoid the possible negative
impact of the new spec violating default.

MBIM is a point-to-point protocol transporting raw IP packets
with no L2 headers. Only IPv4 and IPv6 are supported. ARP in
particular is not, which is quite logical given the lack of
L2 headers.
The driver still emulates an ethernet interface, dropping all
unsupported protocols, and avoiding neigbour resolving by
setting the IFF_NOARP flag.
The MBIM specification does not explicitly forbid IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery, and it seems the other OS support will respond to
Neighbor Solicitations on MBIM links. There are therefore
buggy devices out there, which despite the pointlessness, still
require Neighbor Discovery for IPv6 over MBIM.
This is incompatible with the IFF_NOARP flag which disables
both ARP and ND. We cannot support ARP in any case, so we
have to keep that flag. This patch implements a workaround
for the buggy devices, letting the driver respond directly
to Neighbor Solicitations from the device.
This is not optimal, but will have minimal effect on any sane
device.

commit bd329e1 ("net: cdc_ncm: do not bind to NCM compatible MBIM devices")
introduced a new policy, preferring MBIM for dual NCM/MBIM functions if
the cdc_mbim driver was enabled. This caused a regression for users
wanting to use NCM.
Devices implementing NCM backwards compatibility according to section
3.2 of the MBIM v1.0 specification allow either NCM or MBIM on a single
USB function, using different altsettings. The cdc_ncm and cdc_mbim
drivers will both probe such functions, and must agree on a common
policy for selecting either MBIM or NCM. Until now, this policy has
been set at build time based on CONFIG_USB_NET_CDC_MBIM.
Use a module parameter to set the system policy at runtime, allowing the
user to prefer NCM on systems with the cdc_mbim driver.

Reverting 328d7b8 and instead adding an exception for the
Sierra Wireless MC7710.
commit 328d7b8 (net: cdc_mbim: send ZLP after max sized NTBs)
added a workaround for an issue observed on one specific device.
Concerns were raised that this workaround adds a performance
penalty to all devices based on questionable, if not buggy,
behaviour of a single device:
"If you add ZLP for NTBs of dwNtbOutMaxSize, you are heavily affecting CPU
load, increasing interrupt load by factor of 2 in high load traffic
scenario and possibly decreasing throughput for all other devices
which behaves correctly."
"The idea of NCM was to avoid extra ZLPs. If your transfer is exactly
dwNtbOutMaxSize, it's known, you can submit such request on the receiver
side and you do not need any EOT indicatation, so the frametime can be
used for useful data."
Adding a device specific exception to prevent the workaround from
affecting well behaved devices.
The assumption here is that needing a ZLP is truly an *exception*.
We do not yet have enough data to verify this. The generic
workaround in commit 328d7b8 should be considered acceptable despite
the performance penalty if the exception list becomes a maintainance
hassle.

We normally avoid sending ZLPs by padding NTBs with a zero byte
if the NTB is shorter than dwNtbOutMaxSize, resulting in a short
USB packet instead of a ZLP. But in the case where the NTB length
is exactly dwNtbOutMaxSize and this is an exact multiplum of
wMaxPacketSize, then we must send a ZLP.
This fixes an issue seen on a Sierra Wireless MC7710 device
where the transmission would fail whenever we ended up padding
the NTBs to max size.

MBIM devices can support up to 256 generic streams called
Device Service Streams (DSS). The MBIM spec says
The format of the Device Service Stream payload depends
on the device service (as identified by the corresponding
UUID) that is used when opening the data stream.
Example use cases are serial AT command interfaces and NMEA
data streams. We cannot make any assumptions about these
device services.
Adding support for Device Service Stream by extending
the MBIM session to VLAN mapping scheme, allocating
VLAN IDs 256 to 511 for DSS, using the DSS SessionID
as the lower 8bit of the VLAN ID.
Using a netdev for DSS keeps the device framing intact and
allows userspace to do whatever it want with the streams.
For example, exporting an AT command interface using DSS
session #0 to a PTY for use with a terminal application like
minicom:
vconfig add wwan0 256
ip link set dev wwan0 up
ip link set dev wwan0.256 up
socat INTERFACE:wwan0.256,type=2 PTY:,echo=0,link=/tmp/modem
Device configuration must be done using MBIM control commands
over the /dev/cdc-wdmx device. The userspace management
application should coordinate host VLAN configuration and the
device MBIM configuration using the device capabilities to
find out if it needs to set up PTY mappings etc.

The CDC Mobile Broadband Interface Model (MBIM) specification
extends CDC NCM by
- removing the redundant ethernet header from the point-to-point
USB channel
- adding support for multiple IP (v4 and/or v6) sessions multiplexed
on the same USB channel
- adding a MBIM control channel encapsulated in CDC
- adding Device Service Streams (DSS), which are non IP generic data
streams multiplexed on the same USB channel as the IP sessions
MBIM devices are managed using the dedicated control channel, and no
data will flow on the data channel until a control session has been
established. This driver has no knowledge of MBIM control messages.
It just exports the control channel to a /dev/cdc-wdmX character
device for userspace management applications. Such an application is
therefore required to use this driver.
This patch implements basic MBIM support, reusing the NCM and WDM driver
APIs, currently limited to IP sessions with SessionID 0. DSS and
multiplexed IP sessions are not yet supported.
