Looking very good to me, although I cannot make it do anything useful
with my current test device. I am a bit curious about what your device
descriptor looks like if you actually hit this problem...
But your patch is a nice improvement in any case, so FWIW:
Revieved-by: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@xxxxxxx>
tl;dr
My quick test was done with an MBIM device having:
CDC MBIM:
bcdMBIMVersion 1.00
wMaxControlMessage 4096
bNumberFilters 32
bMaxFilterSize 128
wMaxSegmentSize 2048
bmNetworkCapabilities 0x20
8-byte ntb input size
CDC MBIM Extended:
bcdMBIMExtendedVersion 1.00
bMaxOutstandingCommandMessages 64
wMTU 1500
Your change has no effect for this device. Why? Because
cdc_ncm_max_dgram_size() returns 2048 from the wMaxSegmentSize. But
cdc_ncm_set_dgram_size() clamps the new value between
CDC_MBIM_MIN_DATAGRAM_SIZE (2048) and CDC_NCM_MAX_DATAGRAM_SIZE (8192).
So the only possible datagram size for this device is 2048, and we will
never send a new segment size to the device.
I wonder if the cdc_ncm_set_dgram_size() clamping can possibly be
correct. What do yout think? CDC_MBIM_MIN_DATAGRAM_SIZE is the minimum
*wMaxSegmentSize* according to the MBIM spec, but I can't see anything
saying that you can't set a lower segment size. Why shouldn't that be
possible? Must be a bug AFAICS.
The issue is the same for NCM, only with different defaults. We use
1514 as the lowest possible segment size we can set, while this is
really supposed to be the lowest *maximum* segment size.
And then we come to the extended MBIM descriptor, with the wMTU which is
applied as an additional ceiling on the main MBIM interface. This is
wrong. We support multiplexing both IP and non-IP sessions on top of the
main MBIM interface, and the wMTU should only be applied to IP sessions.
Applying it to the main MBIM interface makes it a hard limit for all
sessions.
The wMTU post-processing also results in inconsistent error reporting.
Attempting to set the MTU larger than wMaxSegmentSize correctly returns
an error with your patch:
nemi:/tmp# ip link set dev wwan0 mtu 2100
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
But setting an MTU anywhere between wMTU and wMaxSegmentSize is silently
rejected:
nemi:/tmp# ip link set dev wwan0 mtu 2000
nemi:/tmp# ip link show dev wwan0
42: wwan0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether ee:76:bf:b6:fc:78 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
I believe the current cdc_ncm_set_dgram_size() code stinks. At the very
least, it should return errors which you could propagate. But we should
also split up handling of the two different MTU limits, so they can be
applied only where applicable.
I'll put this somewhere on my mental todo-list (which means that it is
lost already :). Feel free to pick it up if you like. In any case:
Thanks a lot for starting to fix up this stuff. It's long overdue.
Bjørn
