Aaron Brown says: ==================== This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf. Don provides an update to change a hard coded timeout interval to a system-wide timeout one, collects AUTOC register functions into one place and fixes some firmware bit handling.

This patch adds check for CHECKSUM_PARTIAL to avoid the skb_is_gso check in ixgbevf_tso(). It should reduce overhead for workloads that are not using TSO or checksum offloads. It is the same as in ixgbe.

When reading or writing to the AUTOC register on 82599 devices we need to preform various operations that aren't needed for other MAC types. This patch will collect all of that code into one place to minimize MAC checks in common code paths. While doing this I also clean up some cases where we weren't holding the SW/FW semaphore during a read/modify/write of AUTOC.

Steffen Klassert says: ==================== This is the rework of the IPsec virtual tunnel interface for ipv4 to support inter address family tunneling and namespace crossing. The only change to the last RFC version is a compile fix for an odd configuration where CONFIG_XFRM is set but CONFIG_INET is not set. 1) Add and use a IPsec protocol multiplexer. 2) Add xfrm_tunnel_skb_cb to the skb common buffer to store a receive callback there. 3) Make vti work with i_key set by not including the i_key when comupting the hash for the tunnel lookup in case of vti tunnels. 4) Update ip_vti to use it's own receive hook. 5) Remove xfrm_tunnel_notifier, this is replaced by the IPsec protocol multiplexer. 6) We need to be protocol family indepenent, so use the on xfrm_lookup returned dst_entry instead of the ipv4 rtable in vti_tunnel_xmit(). 7) Add support for inter address family tunneling. 8) Check if the tunnel endpoints of the xfrm state and the vti interface are matching and return an error otherwise. 8) Enable namespace crossing tor vti devices. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Upcoming congestion controls for TCP require usec resolution for RTT estimations. Millisecond resolution is simply not enough these days. FQ/pacing in DC environments also require this change for finer control and removal of bimodal behavior due to the current hack in tcp_update_pacing_rate() for 'small rtt' TCP_CONG_RTT_STAMP is no longer needed. As Julian Anastasov pointed out, we need to keep user compatibility : tcp_metrics used to export RTT and RTTVAR in msec resolution, so we added RTT_US and RTTVAR_US. An iproute2 patch is needed to use the new attributes if provided by the kernel.

ktime_get() is too expensive on some cases, and we'd like to get usec resolution timestamps in TCP stack. This patch adds a light weight facility using a combination of local_clock() and jiffies samples. Instead of : u64 t0, t1; t0 = ktime_get(); // stuff t1 = ktime_get(); delta_us = ktime_us_delta(t1, t0); use : struct skb_mstamp t0, t1; skb_mstamp_get(&t0); // stuff skb_mstamp_get(&t1); delta_us = skb_mstamp_us_delta(&t1, &t0); Note : local_clock() might have a (bounded) drift between cpus. Do not use this infra in place of ktime_get() without understanding the issues.

The isdn core code uses a couple of wait queues with interruptible_sleep_on, which is racy and about to get removed from the kernel.

These two drivers use identical code for their procfs status file handling, which contains a small race against status data becoming available while reading the file. This uses wait_event_interruptible instead to fix this particular race and eventually get rid of all sleep_on instances. There seems to be another race involving multiple concurrent readers of the same procfs file, which I don't try to fix here.

The state machine code in the elsa driver uses interruptible_sleep_on to wait for state changes, which is racy. A closer look at the possible states reveals that it is always used to wait for getting back into ARCOFI_NOP, so we can use wait_event_interruptible instead.

interruptible_sleep_on is racy and going away. In case of pcbit, the driver would run into a timeout if the card is initialized before we start waiting for it. This uses wait_event to fix the race. In order to do this, the state machine handling for the timeout case has to get trivially reorganized so we actually know whether the timeout has occorred or not.

This option has the same semantic as IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT for IPv4 which got recently introduced. It doesn't honor the path mtu discovered by the host but in contrary to IPV6_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE allows the generation of fragments if the packet size exceeds the MTU of the outgoing interface MTU.

IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE has a design error: because it does not allow the generation of fragments if the interface mtu is exceeded, it is very hard to make use of this option in already deployed name server software for which I introduced this option. This patch adds yet another new IP_MTU_DISCOVER option to not honor any path mtu information and not accepting new icmp notifications destined for the socket this option is enabled on. But we allow outgoing fragmentation in case the packet size exceeds the outgoing interface mtu. As such this new option can be used as a drop-in replacement for IP_PMTUDISC_DONT, which is currently in use by most name server software making the adoption of this option very smooth and easy. The original advantage of IP_PMTUDISC_INTERFACE is still maintained: ignoring incoming path MTU updates and not honoring discovered path MTUs in the output path.

ip_skb_dst_mtu mostly falls back to ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward if no socket is attached to the skb (in case of forwarding) or determines the mtu like we do in ip_finish_output, which actually checks if we should branch to ip_fragment. Thus use the same function to determine the mtu here, too. This is important for the introduction of IP_PMTUDISC_OMIT, where we want the packets getting cut in pieces of the size of the outgoing interface mtu. IPv6 already does this correctly.

iproute2 arpd seems to expect this as there's code and comments to handle netlink probes with NUD_PROBE set. It is used to flush the arpd cached mappings. opennhrp instead turns off unicast probes (so it can handle all neighbour discovery). Without this change it will not see NUD_PROBE probes and cannot reconfirm the mapping. Thus currently neigh entry will just fail and can cause few packets dropped until broadcast discovery is restarted.

Michal Schmidt says: ==================== bnx2x: minimize RAM usage in kdump kdump kernels usually have only a small amount of memory reserved. bnx2x can be memory-hungry. Let's minimize its memory usage when running in kdump. I detect kdump by looking at the "reset_devices" flag. A couple of storage drivers (cciss, hpsa) use it for the same purpose. I am not sure this is the best way to solve the problem, but it works. Should it be made more generic by, say, looking at the total amount of lowmem instead? Not using TPA by default when lowmem is small and/or defaulting to fewer queues would help 32bit systems where a driver for a multi-function multi-queue NIC can consume a significant amount of available memory. Or do we want no such heuristics? Is this something to consider doing for other network drivers too? ==================== Acked-by: Ariel Elior <ariele@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
