Some PHYs (for example the SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720) doesn't allow turning the refclk on and off again during operation (according to their datasheet). Nonetheless exactly this behaviour was introduced for power saving reasons by commit e8fcfcd5 ("net: fec: optimize the clock management to save power"). Therefore add support for the phy_reset_after_clk_enable function from phylib to mitigate this issue. Generally speaking this issue is only relevant if the ref clk for the PHY is generated by the SoC and therefore the PHY is configured to "REF_CLK In Mode". In our specific case (PCB) this problem does occur at about every 10th to 50th POR of an LAN8710 connected to an i.MX6SOLO SoC. The typical symptom of this problem is a "swinging" ethernet link. Similar issues were reported by users of the NXP forum: https://community.nxp.com/thread/389902 https://community.nxp.com/message/309354 With this patch applied the issue didn't occur for at least a few hundret PORs of our board.

The Microchip/SMSC LAN8710/LAN8720 PHYs need (according to their datasheet [1]) a continuous REF_CLK when configured to "REF_CLK In Mode". Therefore set the PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN flag for those PHYs to let the ETH driver reset them after the REF_CLK is enabled.

Some PHYs need the refclk to be a continuous clock. Therefore they don't allow turning it off and on again during operation. Nonetheless such a clock switching is performed by some ETH drivers (namely FEC [1]) for power saving reasons. An example for an affected PHY is the SMSC/Microchip LAN8720 in "REF_CLK In Mode". In order to provide a uniform method to overcome this problem this patch adds a new phy_driver flag (PHY_RST_AFTER_CLK_EN) and corresponding function phy_reset_after_clk_enable() to the phylib. These should be used to trigger reset of the PHY after the refclk is switched on again.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: better receiver autotuning Now TCP senders no longer backoff when a drop is detected, it appears we are very often receive window limited. This series makes tcp_rcv_space_adjust() slightly more robust and responsive. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Eric Dumazet authored
Back in linux-3.13 (commit b0983d3c ("tcp: fix dynamic right sizing")) I addressed the pressing issues we had with receiver autotuning. But DRS suffers from extra latencies caused by rcv_rtt_est.rtt_us drifts. One common problem happens during slow start, since the apparent RTT measured by the receiver can be inflated by ~50%, at the end of one packet train. Also, a single drop can delay read() calls by one RTT, meaning tcp_rcv_space_adjust() can be called one RTT too late. By replacing the tri-modal heuristic with a continuous function, we can offset the effects of not growing 'at the optimal time'. The curve of the function matches prior behavior if the space increased by 25% and 50% exactly. Cost of added multiply/divide is small, considering a TCP flow typically would run this part of the code few times in its life. I tested this patch with 100 ms RTT / 1% loss link, 100 runs of (netperf -l 5), and got an average throughput of 4600 Mbit instead of 1700 Mbit.

While rcvbuf is properly clamped by tcp_rmem[2], rcvwin is left to a potentially too big value. It has no serious effect, since : 1) tcp_grow_window() has very strict checks. 2) window_clamp can be mangled by user space to any value anyway. tcp_init_buffer_space() and companions use tcp_full_space(), we use tcp_win_from_space() to avoid reloading sk->sk_rcvbuf Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Acked-by: Soheil Hassas Yeganeh <soheil@google.com> Acked-by: Wei Wang <weiwan@google.com> Acked-by: Neal Cardwell <ncardwell@google.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Xin Long says: ==================== sctp: Implement Stream Interleave: The I-DATA Chunk Supporting User Message Interleaving Stream Interleave would be Implemented in two Parts: 1. The I-DATA Chunk Supporting User Message Interleaving 2. Interaction with Other SCTP Extensions Overview in section 1.1 of RFC8260 for Part 1: This document describes a new chunk carrying payload data called I-DATA. This chunk incorporates the properties of the current SCTP DATA chunk, all the flags and fields except the Stream Sequence Number (SSN), and also adds two new fields in its chunk header -- the Fragment Sequence Number (FSN) and the Message Identifier (MID). The FSN is only used for reassembling all fragments that have the same MID and the same ordering property. The TSN is only used for the reliable transfer in combination with Selective Acknowledgment (SACK) chunks. In addition, the MID is also used for ensuring ordered delivery instead of using the stream sequence number (the I-DATA chunk omits an SSN). As the 1st part of Stream Interleave Implementation, this patchset adds an ops framework named sctp_stream_interleave with a bunch of stuff that does lots of things needed somewhere. Then it defines sctp_stream_interleave_0 to work for normal DATA chunks and sctp_stream_interleave_1 for I-DATA chunks. With these functions, hundreds of if-else checks for the different process on I-DATA chunks would be avoided. Besides, very few codes could be shared in these two function sets. In this patchset, it adds some basic variables, structures and socket options firstly, then implement these functions one by one to add the procedures for ordered idata gradually, at last adjusts some codes to make them work for unordered idata. To make it safe to be implemented and also not break the normal data chunk process, this feature can't be enabled to use until all stream interleave codes are completely accomplished. v1 -> v2: - fixed a checkpatch warning that a blank line was missed. - avoided a kbuild warning reported from gcc-4.9. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Unordered idata process is more complicated than unordered data: - It has to add mid into sctp_stream_out to save the next mid value, which is separated from ordered idata's. - To support pd for unordered idata, another mid and pd_mode need to be added to save the message id and pd state in sctp_stream_in. - To make unordered idata reasm easier, it adds a new event queue to save frags for idata. The patch mostly adds the samilar reasm functions for unordered idata as ordered idata's, and also adjusts some other codes on assign_mid, abort_pd and ulpevent_data for idata.

abort_pd is added as a member of sctp_stream_interleave, used to abort partial delivery for data or idata, called in sctp_cmd_assoc_failed. Since stream interleave allows to do partial delivery for each stream at the same time, sctp_intl_abort_pd for idata would be very different from the old function sctp_ulpq_abort_pd for data. Note that sctp_ulpevent_make_pdapi will support per stream in this patch by adding pdapi_stream and pdapi_seq in sctp_pdapi_event, as described in section 6.1.7 of RFC6458.

ulpevent_data is added as a member of sctp_stream_interleave, used to do the most process in ulpq, including to convert data or idata chunk to event, reasm them in reasm queue and put them in lobby queue in right order, and deliver them up to user sk rx queue. This procedure is described in section 2.2.3 of RFC8260. It adds most functions for idata here to do the similar process as the old functions for data. But since the details are very different between them, the old functions can not be reused for idata. event->ssn and event->ppid settings are moved to ulpevent_data from sctp_ulpevent_make_rcvmsg, so that sctp_ulpevent_make_rcvmsg could work for both data and idata. Note that mid is added in sctp_ulpevent for idata, __packed has to be used for defining sctp_ulpevent, or it would exceeds the skb cb that saves a sctp_ulpevent variable for ulp layer process.

validate_data is added as a member of sctp_stream_interleave, used to validate ssn/chunk type for data or mid (message id)/chunk type for idata, called in sctp_eat_data. If this check fails, an abort packet will be sent, as said in section 2.2.3 of RFC8260. It also adds the process for idata in rx path. As Marcelo pointed out, there's no need to add event table for idata, but just share chunk_event_table with data's. It would drop data chunk for idata and drop idata chunk for data by calling validate_data in sctp_eat_data. As last patch did, it also replaces sizeof(struct sctp_data_chunk) with sctp_datachk_len for rx path. After this patch, the idata can be accepted and delivered to ulp layer.

Note that if sp strm_interleave is set, it has to wait_connect in sctp_sendmsg, as asoc intl_enable need to be known after 4 shake- hands, to decide if it should use data or idata later. data and idata can't be mixed to send in one asoc.

To avoid hundreds of checks for the different process on I-DATA chunk, struct sctp_stream_interleave is defined as a group of functions used to replace the codes in some place where it needs to do different job according to if the asoc intl_enabled is set. With these ops, it only needs to initialize asoc->stream.si with sctp_stream_interleave_0 for normal data if asoc intl_enable is 0, or sctp_stream_interleave_1 for idata if asoc intl_enable is set in sctp_stream_init. After that, the members in asoc->stream.si can be used directly in some special places without checking asoc intl_enable. make_datafrag is the first member for sctp_stream_interleave, it's used to make data or idata frags, called in sctp_datamsg_from_user. The old function sctp_make_datafrag_empty needs to be adjust some to fit in this ops. Note that as idata and data chunks have different length, it also defines data_chunk_len for sctp_stream_interleave to describe the chunk size.
