      rxrpc: Tracepoint addition and improvement
      
      Here is a set of patches that add some more tracepoints and improve a couple
      of existing ones.  New additions include:
      
       (1) Connection refcount tracking.
      
       (2) Client connection state machine tracking.
      
       (3) Tx and Rx packet lifecycle.
      
       (4) ACK reception and transmission.
      
       (5) recvmsg processing.
      
      Updates include:
      
       (1) Print the symbolic packet name in the Rx packet tracepoint.
      
       (2) Additional call refcount trace events.
      
       (3) Improvements to sk_buff tracking with AF_RXRPC.
      
      In addition:
      
       (1) Config option to inject packet loss during both transmission and
           reception.
      
       (2) Removal of some printks.
      
      This series needs to be applied on top of the previously posted fixes.

      rxrpc: Fixes & miscellany
      
      Here are some more AF_RXRPC fix patches with a couple of miscellaneous
      changes also.  Fixes include:
      
       (1) Make RxRPC IPv6 support conditional on IPv6 being available.
      
       (2) Move the condition check in rxrpc_locate_data() into the caller and
           check the error return.
      
       (3) Fix the detection of the last received packet in recvmsg.
      
       (4) Account calls that need acceptance and clean up any unaccepted ones if
           the socket gets closed.
      
       (5) Fix the cleanup of client connections.
      
       (6) Fix the soft-ACK parsing and the retransmission of packets based on
           those ACKs.
      
       (7) Suppress transmission of an ACK when there's no pending ACK to
           transmit because another thread stole it.
      
      And some miscellany:
      
       (8) Whitespace removal.
      
       (9) Switch-value consistency in rxrpc_send_call_packet().
      
      (10) Fix the basic transmission packet size to allow for spur-of-the-moment
           jumbo DATA packet production.

      ====================
      sched: convert queues to single-linked list
      
      During Netfilter Workshop 2016 Eric Dumazet pointed out that qdisc
      schedulers use doubly-linked lists, even though single-linked list
      would be enough.
      
      The double-linked skb lists incur one extra write on enqueue/dequeue
      operations (to change ->prev pointer of next list elem).
      
      This series converts qdiscs to single-linked version, listhead
      maintains pointers to first (for dequeue) and last skb (for enqueue).
      
      Most qdiscs don't queue at all and instead use a leaf qdisc (typically
      pfifo_fast) so only a few schedulers needed changes.
      
      I briefly tested netem and htb and they seemed fine.
      
      UDP_STREAM netperf with 64 byte packets via veth+pfifo_fast shows
      a small (~2%) improvement.

      sched: add and use qdisc_skb_head helpers · 48da34b7
      Florian Westphal authored
      This change replaces sk_buff_head struct in Qdiscs with new qdisc_skb_head.
      
      Its similar to the skb_buff_head api, but does not use skb->prev pointers.
      
      Qdiscs will commonly enqueue at the tail of a list and dequeue at head.
      While skb_buff_head works fine for this, enqueue/dequeue needs to also
      adjust the prev pointer of next element.
      
      The ->prev pointer is not required for qdiscs so we can just leave
      it undefined and avoid one cacheline write access for en/dequeue.

      Otherwise, cause the hardware can set total four destination IPs, each

      2) Only TCP/IP RX flows can be offloaded. The hardware can set four IP
         addresses at most, if the destination IP of the RX flow matches one of
         them, it has the chance to be offloaded.
      3) There three RX flows can be offloaded at most, and one flow is mapped to
         one RX ring.
      4) If there are more than three candidate RX flows, the hardware can
         choose three of them by throughput comparison results.

      ====================
      IPvlan introduce l3s mode
      
      Same old problem with new approach especially from suggestions from
      earlier patch-series.
      
      First thing is that this is introduced as a new mode rather than
      modifying the old (L3) mode. So the behavior of the existing modes is
      preserved as it is and the new L3s mode obeys iptables so that intended
      conn-tracking can work.
      
      To do this, the code uses newly added l3mdev_rcv() handler and an
      Iptables hook. l3mdev_rcv() to perform an inbound route lookup with the
      correct (IPvlan slave) interface and then IPtable-hook at LOCAL_INPUT
      to change the input device from master to the slave to complete the
      formality.
      
      Supporting stack changes are trivial changes to export symbol to get
      IPv4 equivalent code exported for IPv6 and to allow netfilter hook
      registration code to allow caller to hold RTNL. Please look into
      individual patches for details.

      ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode · 4fbae7d8
      Mahesh Bandewar authored
      In a typical IPvlan L3 setup where master is in default-ns and
      each slave is into different (slave) ns. In this setup egress
      packet processing for traffic originating from slave-ns will
      hit all NF_HOOKs in slave-ns as well as default-ns. However same
      is not true for ingress processing. All these NF_HOOKs are
      hit only in the slave-ns skipping them in the default-ns.
      IPvlan in L3 mode is restrictive and if admins want to deploy
      iptables rules in default-ns, this asymmetric data path makes it
      impossible to do so.
      
      This patch makes use of the l3_rcv() (added as part of l3mdev
      enhancements) to perform input route lookup on RX packets without
      changing the skb->dev and then uses nf_hook at NF_INET_LOCAL_IN
      to change the skb->dev just before handing over skb to L4.

      Jiri Pirko says:
      
      ====================
      net: return offloaded stats as default and expose original sw stats
      
      The problem we try to handle is about offloaded forwarded packets
      which are not seen by kernel. Let me try to draw it:
      
          port1                       port2 (HW stats are counted here)
            \                          /
             \                        /
              \                      /
               --(A)---- ASIC --(B)--
                          |
                         (C)
                          |
                         CPU (SW stats are counted here)
      
      Now we have couple of flows for TX and RX (direction does not matter here):
      
      1) port1->A->ASIC->C->CPU
      
         For this flow, HW and SW stats are equal.
      
      2) port1->A->ASIC->C->CPU->C->ASIC->B->port2
      
         For this flow, HW and SW stats are equal.
      
      3) port1->A->ASIC->B->port2
      
         For this flow, SW stats are 0.
      
      The purpose of this patchset is to provide facility for user to
      find out the difference between flows 1+2 and 3. In other words, user
      will be able to see the statistics for the slow-path (through kernel).
      
      Also note that HW stats are what someone calls "accumulated" stats.
      Every packet counted by SW is also counted by HW. Not the other way around.
      
      As a default the accumulated stats (HW) will be exposed to user
      so the userspace apps can react properly.
      
      This patchset add the SW stats (flows 1+2) under offload related stats, so
      in the future we can expose other offload related stat in a similar way.

      Implement the offload stat ndo.
      Add a function to get SW statistics, to be called from this function.

      netdevice: Add offload statistics ndo · 2c9d85d4
      Nogah Frankel authored
      Add a new ndo to return statistics for offloaded operation.
      Since there can be many different offloaded operation with many
      stats types, the ndo gets an attribute id by which it knows which
      stats are wanted. The ndo also gets a void pointer to be cast according
      to the attribute id.

      openvswitch: use percpu flow stats · db74a333
      Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo authored
      Instead of using flow stats per NUMA node, use it per CPU. When using
      megaflows, the stats lock can be a bottleneck in scalability.
      
      On a E5-2690 12-core system, usual throughput went from ~4Mpps to
      ~15Mpps when forwarding between two 40GbE ports with a single flow
      configured on the datapath.
      
      This has been tested on a system with possible CPUs 0-7,16-23. After
      module removal, there were no corruption on the slab cache.

      On a system with only node 1 as possible, all statistics is going to be
      accounted on node 0 as it will have a single writer.
      
      However, when getting and clearing the statistics, node 0 is not going
      to be considered, as it's not a possible node.
      
      Tested that statistics are not zero on a system with only node 1
      possible. Also compile-tested with CONFIG_NUMA off.

      sctp: not return ENOMEM err back in sctp_packet_transmit · 41001faf
      Xin Long authored
      As David and Marcelo's suggestion, ENOMEM err shouldn't return back to
      user in transmit path. Instead, sctp's retransmit would take care of
      the chunks that fail to send because of ENOMEM.
      
      This patch is only to do some release job when alloc_skb fails, not to
      return ENOMEM back any more.
      
      Besides, it also cleans up sctp_packet_transmit's err path, and fixes
      some issues in err path:
      
       - It didn't free the head skb in nomem: path.
       - No need to check nskb in no_route: path.
       - It should goto err: path if alloc_skb fails for head.
       - Not all the NOMEMs should free nskb.

      sctp: save transmit error to sk_err in sctp_outq_flush · 64519440
      Xin Long authored
      Every time when sctp calls sctp_outq_flush, it sends out the chunks of
      control queue, retransmit queue and data queue. Even if some trunks are
      failed to transmit, it still has to flush all the transports, as it's
      the only chance to clean that transmit_list.
      
      So the latest transmit error here should be returned back. This transmit
      error is an internal error of sctp stack.
      
      I checked all the places where it uses the transmit error (the return
      value of sctp_outq_flush), most of them are actually just save it to
      sk_err.
      
      Except for sctp_assoc/endpoint_bh_rcv, they will drop the chunk if
      it's failed to send a REPLY, which is actually incorrect, as we can't
      be sure the error that sctp_outq_flush returns is from sending that
      REPLY.
      
      So it's meaningless for sctp_outq_flush to return error back.
      
      This patch is to save transmit error to sk_err in sctp_outq_flush, the
      new error can update the old value. Eventually, sctp_wait_for_* would
      check for it.

      sctp: free msg->chunks when sctp_primitive_SEND return err · b61c654f
      Xin Long authored
      Last patch "sctp: do not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg"
      made sctp_primitive_SEND return err only when asoc state is unavailable.
      In this case, chunks are not enqueued, they have no chance to be freed if
      we don't take care of them later.
      
      This Patch is actually to revert commit 1cd4d5c4 ("sctp: remove the
      unused sctp_datamsg_free()"), commit 69b5777f ("sctp: hold the chunks
      only after the chunk is enqueued in outq") and commit 8b570dc9 ("sctp:
      only drop the reference on the datamsg after sending a msg"), to use
      sctp_datamsg_free to free the chunks of current msg.

      sctp: do not return the transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg · 66388f2c
      Xin Long authored
      Once a chunk is enqueued successfully, sctp queues can take care of it.
      Even if it is failed to transmit (like because of nomem), it should be
      put into retransmit queue.
      
      If sctp report this error to users, it confuses them, they may resend
      that msg, but actually in kernel sctp stack is in charge of retransmit
      it already.
      
      Besides, this error probably is not from the failure of transmitting
      current msg, but transmitting or retransmitting another msg's chunks,
      as sctp_outq_flush just tries to send out all transports' chunks.
      
      This patch is to make sctp_cmd_send_msg return avoid, and not return the
      transmit err back to sctp_sendmsg

      sctp: remove the unnecessary state check in sctp_outq_tail · 2c89791e
      Xin Long authored
      Data Chunks are only sent by sctp_primitive_SEND, in which sctp checks
      the asoc's state through statetable before calling sctp_outq_tail. So
      there's no need to check the asoc's state again in sctp_outq_tail.
      
      Besides, sctp_do_sm is protected by lock_sock, even if sending msg is
      interrupted by timer events, the event's processes still need to acquire
      lock_sock first. It means no others CMDs can be enqueue into side effect
      list before CMD_SEND_MSG to change asoc->state, so it's safe to remove it.
      
      This patch is to remove redundant asoc->state check from sctp_outq_tail.
