Although we will fail the filter later due to checking flow_type which will have a bogus invalid type, it is possible future refactoring will remove this hidden failure case. Avoid a possible issue in the future by explicitly checking the flow type at the start.

In preparation for adding code to properly check the mask values, we will need to know the number of active filters for each type. Add counters for each filter type. Rename the already existing fd_tcp_rule to fd_tcp4_filter_cnt to match the style of other names. To avoid style warnings, avoid assigning multiple parameters at once, and fix up one other case where we did so previously.

When flushing and replaying FDIR filters, it is possible we would disable ATR, and then re-enable it even though we should have kept it disabled due to existing TCP/IPv4 filters. Fix this by checking whether we have TCP4/IPv4 filters before re-enabling. Alternatively, we could instead restore ATR and then replay filters, however, this would cause us to rapidly enable and then disable ATR in some cases.

Since we're about to reprogram the filters, we need to ensure that the fd_tcp_rule count is correctly reset to 0. Otherwise, we will keep a stale count that does not accurately reflect the number of programmed TCPv4 filters.

i40e_fdir_filter_restore re-adds all existing filters, which already checks when adding a TCPv4 filter to disable ATR. We don't need to make the check twice, so remove this redundant code.

Move ATR exit check after we have sent the TCP/IPv4 filter to the ring successfully. This avoids an issue where we potentially update the filter count without actually succeeding in adding the filter. Now, we only increment the fd_tcp_rule after we've succeeded. Additionally, we will re-enable ATR mode only after deletion of the filter is actually posted to the FDIR ring.

Instead of setting err=true and checking this to determine when to free the raw_packet near the end of the function, simply kfree and return immediately. The resulting code is a bit cleaner and has one less variable. This also resolves a subtle bug in the ipv4 case which could fail to add the first filter and then never free the memory, resulting in a small memory leak.

The code originally included src_ip and dst_ip with enough space to support ipv6 filters. However, no actual support for ipv6 filters has been implemented. Thus, remove the arrays and just use __be32 values. Should ipv6 support be added in the future, we can replace these with a union that has sizes for both values.

The firmware expects the port numbers for offloaded UDP tunnels in Little Endian format. We accidentally sent the value in Big Endian format which obviously will cause the wrong port number to be put into the UDP tunnels list. This results in VxLAN and Geneve tunnel Rx offloads being essentially disabled, unless the port number happens to be identical after byte swapping. Note that i40e_aq_add_udp_tunnel() will byteswap the parameter from host order into Little Endian so we don't need worry about passing strictly a __le16 value to the command. This patch essentially reverts b3f5c7bc ("i40e: Fix for extra byte swap in tunnel setup", 2016-08-24), but in a way that makes the result much more clear to the reader.

The tcp_tw_recycle was already broken for connections behind NAT, since the per-destination timestamp is not monotonically increasing for multiple machines behind a single destination address. After the randomization of TCP timestamp offsets in commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection), the tcp_tw_recycle is broken for all types of connections for the same reason: the timestamps received from a single machine is not monotonically increasing, anymore. Remove tcp_tw_recycle, since it is not functional. Also, remove the PAWSPassive SNMP counter since it is only used for tcp_tw_recycle, and simplify tcp_v4_route_req and tcp_v6_route_req since the strict argument is only set when tcp_tw_recycle is enabled.

Commit 8a5bd45f6616 (tcp: randomize tcp timestamp offsets for each connection) randomizes TCP timestamps per connection. After this commit, there is no guarantee that the timestamps received from the same destination are monotonically increasing. As a result, the per-destination timestamp cache in TCP metrics (i.e., tcpm_ts in struct tcp_metrics_block) is broken and cannot be relied upon. Remove the per-destination timestamp cache and all related code paths. Note that this cache was already broken for caching timestamps of multiple machines behind a NAT sharing the same address.

The sunvnet netdev is connected to the controlling ldom's vswitch for network bridging. However, for higher performance between ldoms, there also is a channel between each client ldom. These connections are represented in the sunvnet driver by a queue for each ldom. The driver uses select_queue to tell the stack which queue to use by tracking the mac addresses on the other end of each port. When a connected ldom shuts down, the driver receives an LDC_EVENT_RESET and the port is removed from the driver, thus a queue with no ldom on the other end will never be selected for Tx. The driver was trying to reinforce the "don't use this queue" notion with netif_tx_stop_queue() and netif_tx_wake_queue(), which really should only be used to signal a Tx queue is full (aka XOFF). This misuse of queue state resulted in NETDEV WATCHDOG messages and lots of unnecessary calls into the driver's tx_timeout handler. Simply removing these takes care of the problem.

In this driver, there is a "port" created for the connection to each of the other ldoms; a netdev queue is mapped to each port, and they are collected under a single netdev. The generic netdev statistics show us all the traffic in and out of our network device, but don't show individual queue/port stats. This patch breaks out the traffic counts for the individual ports and gives us a little view into the state of those connections.

When an ldom VM is bound, the network vswitch infrastructure is set up for it, but was being forced 'UP' by the userland switch configuration script. When 'UP' but not actually connected to a running VM, the ipv6 neighbor probes fail (not a horrible thing) and start cluttering up the kernel logs. Funny thing: these are debug messages that never actually show up, but we do see the net_ratelimited messages that say N callbacks were suppressed. This patch defers the netif_carrier_on() until an actual link has been established with the VM, as indicated by receiving an LDC_EVENT_UP from the underlying LDC protocol. Similarly, we take the link down when we see the LDC_EVENT_RESET. Now when we see the ndo_open(), we reset the link to get things talking again.

All IRQs owned by the PF and VF drivers share the same nondescript name "octeon"; this makes it difficult to setup interrupt affinity. Change the IRQ names to reflect their specific purpose: LiquidIO<id>-<func>-<type>-<queue pair num> Examples: LiquidIO0-pf0-rxtx-3 LiquidIO1-vf1-rxtx-0 LiquidIO0-pf0-aux We cannot use netdev->name for naming the IRQs because: 1. Early during init, the PF and VF drivers require interrupts to send/receive control data from the NIC firmware; so the PF and VF must request IRQs long before the netdev struct is registered. 2. The IRQ name can only be specified at the time it is requested. It cannot be changed after that.

I recently reported on the netem list that iperf network benchmarks show unexpected results when a bandwidth throttling rate has been configured for netem. Specifically: 1) The measured link bandwidth *increases* when a higher delay is added 2) The measured link bandwidth appears higher than the specified limit 3) The measured link bandwidth for the same very slow settings varies significantly across machines The issue can be reproduced by using tc to configure netem with a 512kbit rate and various (none, 1us, 50ms, 100ms, 200ms) delays on a veth pair between network namespaces, and then using iperf (or any other network benchmarking tool) to test throughput. Complete detailed instructions are in the original email chain here: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/netem/2017-February/001672.html There appear to be two underlying bugs causing these effects: - The first issue causes long delays when the rate is slow and no delay is configured (e.g., "rate 512kbit"). This is because SKBs are not orphaned when no delay is configured, so orphaning does not occur until *after* the rate-induced delay has been applied. For this reason, adding a tiny delay (e.g., "rate 512kbit delay 1us") dramatically increases the measured bandwidth. - The second issue is that rate-induced delays are not correctly applied, allowing SKB delays to occur in parallel. The indended approach is to compute the delay for an SKB and to add this delay to the end of the current queue. However, the code does not detect existing SKBs in the queue due to improperly testing sch->q.qlen, which is nonzero even when packets exist only in the rbtree. Consequently, new SKBs do not wait for the current queue to empty. When packet delays vary significantly (e.g., if packet sizes are different), then this also causes unintended reordering. I modified the code to expect a delay (and orphan the SKB) when a rate is configured. I also added some defensive tests that correctly find the latest scheduled delivery time, even if it is (unexpectedly) for a packet in sch->q. I have tested these changes on the latest kernel (4.11.0-rc1+) and the iperf / ping test results are as expected.
