Hi! This series is a part 2 to what went into net as a simpler fix. In net we simply moved when existing callbacks are invoked to ensure flower app does not still use representors when lower netdev has already been destroyed. In this series we add a callback to notify apps when vNIC netdevs are fully initialized and they are about to be destroyed. This allows flower to spawn representors at the right time, while keeping the start/stop callbacks for what they are intended to be used - FW initialization over control channel.
Patch 4 improves drop monitor interaction and patch 5 changes the default Kconfig selection of flower offload. Patch 6 fixes locking around representor updates which got lost in net-next. Jakub Kicinski (6): nfp: separate app vNIC init/clean from alloc/free nfp: flower: base lifetime of representors on existence of lower vNIC nfp: move the start/stop app callbacks back nfp: be drop monitor friendly nfp: build the flower offload by default nfp: flower: restore RTNL locking around representor updates drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/Kconfig | 1 + drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/bpf/main.c | 10 +-- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/cmsg.c | 11 ++- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/main.c | 93 +++++++++++++++------- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/main.h | 2 + drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_app.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_app.h | 35 +++++--- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_app_nic.c | 4 +- .../net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_common.c | 2 +- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nfp_net_main.c | 42 ++++++---- drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/nic/main.c | 2 +- 11 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) -- 2.14.1
