      tcp-tso: do not split TSO packets at retransmit time · 10d3be56
      Eric Dumazet authored
      Linux TCP stack painfully segments all TSO/GSO packets before retransmits.
      
      This was fine back in the days when TSO/GSO were emerging, with their
      bugs, but we believe the dark age is over.
      
      Keeping big packets in write queues, but also in stack traversal
      has a lot of benefits.
       - Less memory overhead, because write queues have less skbs
       - Less cpu overhead at ACK processing.
       - Better SACK processing, as lot of studies mentioned how
         awful linux was at this ;)
       - Less cpu overhead to send the rtx packets
         (IP stack traversal, netfilter traversal, drivers...)
       - Better latencies in presence of losses.
       - Smaller spikes in fq like packet schedulers, as retransmits
         are not constrained by TCP Small Queues.
      
      1 % packet losses are common today, and at 100Gbit speeds, this
      translates to ~80,000 losses per second.
      Losses are often correlated, and we see many retransmit events
      leading to 1-MSS train of packets, at the time hosts are already
      under stress.

      tipc: fix stale links after re-enabling bearer · 8cee83dd
      Parthasarathy Bhuvaragan authored
      Commit 42b18f60 ("tipc: refactor function tipc_link_timeout()"),
      introduced a bug which prevents sending of probe messages during
      link synchronization phase. This leads to hanging links, if the
      bearer is disabled/enabled after links are up.
      
      In this commit, we send the probe messages correctly.

      tcp: Carry txstamp_ack in tcp_fragment_tstamp · b51e13fa
      Martin KaFai Lau authored
      When a tcp skb is sliced into two smaller skbs (e.g. in
      tcp_fragment() and tso_fragment()),  it does not carry
      the txstamp_ack bit to the newly created skb if it is needed.
      The end result is a timestamping event (SCM_TSTAMP_ACK) will
      be missing from the sk->sk_error_queue.
      
      This patch carries this bit to the new skb2
      in tcp_fragment_tstamp().

      ====================
      Netfilter updates for net-next
      
      The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for your net-next
      tree, mostly from Florian Westphal to sort out the lack of sufficient
      validation in x_tables and connlabel preparation patches to add
      nf_tables support. They are:
      
      1) Ensure we don't go over the ruleset blob boundaries in
         mark_source_chains().
      
      2) Validate that target jumps land on an existing xt_entry. This extra
         sanitization comes with a performance penalty when loading the ruleset.
      
      3) Introduce xt_check_entry_offsets() and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.
      
      4) Get rid of the smallish check_entry() functions in {arp,ip,ip6}tables.
      
      5) Make sure the minimal possible target size in x_tables.
      
      6) Similar to #3, add xt_compat_check_entry_offsets() for compat code.
      
      7) Check that standard target size is valid.
      
      8) More sanitization to ensure that the target_offset field is correct.
      
      9) Add xt_check_entry_match() to validate that matches are well-formed.
      
      10-12) Three patch to reduce the number of parameters in
          translate_compat_table() for {arp,ip,ip6}tables by using a container
          structure.
      
      13) No need to return value from xt_compat_match_from_user(), so make
          it void.
      
      14) Consolidate translate_table() so it can be used by compat code too.
      
      15) Remove obsolete check for compat code, so we keep consistent with
          what was already removed in the native layout code (back in 2007).
      
      16) Get rid of target jump validation from mark_source_chains(),
          obsoleted by #2.
      
      17) Introduce xt_copy_counters_from_user() to consolidate counter
          copying, and use it from {arp,ip,ip6}tables.
      
      18,22) Get rid of unnecessary explicit inlining in ctnetlink for dump
          functions.
      
      19) Move nf_connlabel_match() to xt_connlabel.
      
      20) Skip event notification if connlabel did not change.
      
      21) Update of nf_connlabels_get() to make the upcoming nft connlabel
          support easier.
      
      23) Remove spinlock to read protocol state field in conntrack.

      The layout of the netlink message will be a bit different after the patch,

      rtc: ds1307: Use irq when available for wakeup-source device · 38a7a73e
      Nishanth Menon authored
      With commit 8bc2a407 ("rtc: ds1307: add support for the
      DT property 'wakeup-source'") we lost the ability for rtc irq
      functionality for devices that are actually hooked on a real IRQ
      line and have capability to wakeup as well. This is not an expected
      behavior. So, instead of just not requesting IRQ, skip the IRQ
      requirement only if interrupts are not defined for the device.

      while retrieving temperature from ds3231, the result may be overflow
      since s16 is too small for a multiplication with 250.
      
      ie. if temp_buf[0] == 0x2d, the result (s16 temp) will be negative.

      vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers · b7aade15
      Hannes Frederic Sowa authored
      Currently all drivers depend and autoload the vxlan module because how
      vxlan_get_rx_port is linked into them. Remove this dependency:
      
      By using a new event type in the netdevice notifier call chain we proxy
      the request from the drivers to flush and resetup the vxlan ports not
      directly via function call but by the already existing netdevice
      notifier call chain.
      
      I added a separate new event type, NETDEV_OFFLOAD_PUSH_VXLAN, to do so.
      We don't need to save those ids, as the event type field is an unsigned
      long and using specialized event types for this purpose seemed to be a
      more elegant way. This also comes in beneficial if in future we want to
      add offloading knobs for vxlan.

      When using masked actions the ipv6_proto field of an action
      to set IPv6 fields may be zero rather than the prevailing protocol
      which will result in skipping checksum recalculation.
      
      This patch resolves the problem by relying on the protocol
      in the flow key rather than that in the set field action.

      atl2: Disable unimplemented scatter/gather feature · f43bfaed
      Ben Hutchings authored
      atl2 includes NETIF_F_SG in hw_features even though it has no support
      for non-linear skbs.  This bug was originally harmless since the
      driver does not claim to implement checksum offload and that used to
      be a requirement for SG.
      
      Now that SG and checksum offload are independent features, if you
      explicitly enable SG *and* use one of the rare protocols that can use
      SG without checkusm offload, this potentially leaks sensitive
      information (before you notice that it just isn't working).  Therefore
      this obscure bug has been designated CVE-2016-2117.

      ====================

      Changes from V2:

      	- Updated: ("net/mlx5e: Support RX multi-packet WQE (Striding RQ)")
      		* Per Eric Dumazet comment we changed the driver memory handling scheme to
      		work with order-0 pages rather than order-5 via split_page().
      		* This means that now a mlx5e rx skb can hold one or (more in case of HW LRO)
                      skb frag each pointing to a 4K order-0 page rather than one frag with order-5 page.
      	- Updated: ("net/mlx5e: Add fragmented memory support for RX multi packet WQE")
      		* Code refactoring and code reuse due the split_page() mechanism,
      		  now the MPWQE and fragmented MPWQE handling almost look the same,
      		  and share most of the code.
      	- In some cases we see 2%-3% packet rate degradation in comparison to the order-5 pages approach,
      	  due to split_page() cpu consumption, but still we do see 3%-10% improvement in comparison to the
                current linear SKB approach.
      	- We do believe that now the driver memory scheme is significantly less vulnerable

                      Will be pushed in a later series with full software based adaptive moderation.
      	- Added: ("net/mlx5e: Delay skb->data access")
      		Small trivial optimization.
      	- Updated: ("net/mlx5e: Support RX multi-packet WQE (Striding RQ)")
      	 	Changed Striding RQ defaults to:
      			> 	NUM WQEs = 16
      			> 	Strides Per WQE = 1024
      			> 	Stride Size = 128
      	- Updated: ("net/mlx5e: Use napi_alloc_skb for RX SKB allocations")
      		Consider the IP packet alignment already done in napi_alloc_skb.
      
      Changes from V0:

      This series includes Some RX modifications and optimizations for
      the mlx5 Ethernet driver.
      
      From Rana, we have one patch that adds the support for Connectx-4
      queue counters.
      
      From Tariq, several patches that are centralized around improving
      RX path message rate, CPU and Memory utilization, in each patch
      commit message you will find the performance improvements numbers
      related to that specific patch.
      
      In the 2nd patch we used a queue counter to report "out of buffer"
      dropped packet count, "Dropped packets due to lack of software resources"
      
      3rd patch modifies the driver's to RSS default value to be spread along the
      close NUMA node cores only for better out of the box experience.
      
      In the 4th and 5th patches we utilized the use of RX multi-packet WQE
      (Striding RQ) for better memory utilization especially in case of hardware
      LRO is enabled and for better message rate for small packets.
      
      In the 6th and 7th patches we added a fallback mechanism to use fragmented
      memory when allocating large WQE strides fails, using UMR
      (User Memory Registration) and ICO (Internal Control Operations) SQs.
      
      In the 8th to 11th patches we did some small modification which show some small
      extra improvements.
