Merge tag 'rxrpc-rewrite-20160924' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Implement slow-start and other bits This set of patches implements the RxRPC slow-start feature for AF_RXRPC to improve performance and handling of occasional packet loss. This is more or less the same as TCP slow start [RFC 5681]. Firstly, there are some ACK generation improvements: (1) Send ACKs regularly to apprise the peer of our state so that they can do congestion management of their own. (2) Send an ACK when we fill in a hole in the buffer so that the peer can find out that we did this thus forestalling retransmission. (3) Note the final DATA packet's serial number in the final ACK for correlation purposes. and a couple of bug fixes: (4) Reinitialise the ACK state and clear the ACK and resend timers upon entering the client reply reception phase to kill off any pending probe ACKs. (5) Delay the resend timer to allow for nsec->jiffies conversion errors. and then there's the slow-start pieces: (6) Summarise an ACK. (7) Schedule a PING or IDLE ACK if the reply to a client call is overdue to try and find out what happened to it. (8) Implement the slow start feature. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Implement RxRPC slow-start, which is similar to RFC 5681 for TCP. A tracepoint is added to log the state of the congestion management algorithm and the decisions it makes. Notes: (1) Since we send fixed-size DATA packets (apart from the final packet in each phase), counters and calculations are in terms of packets rather than bytes. (2) The ACK packet carries the equivalent of TCP SACK. (3) The FLIGHT_SIZE calculation in RFC 5681 doesn't seem particularly suited to SACK of a small number of packets. It seems that, almost inevitably, by the time three 'duplicate' ACKs have been seen, we have narrowed the loss down to one or two missing packets, and the FLIGHT_SIZE calculation ends up as 2. (4) In rxrpc_resend(), if there was no data that apparently needed retransmission, we transmit a PING ACK to ask the peer to tell us what its Rx window state is.

If we've sent all the request data in a client call but haven't seen any sign of the reply data yet, schedule an ACK to be sent to the server to find out if the reply data got lost. If the server hasn't yet hard-ACK'd the request data, we send a PING ACK to demand a response to find out whether we need to retransmit. If the server says it has received all of the data, we send an IDLE ACK to tell the server that we haven't received anything in the receive phase as yet. To make this work, a non-immediate PING ACK must carry a delay. I've chosen the same as the IDLE ACK for the moment. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

When determining the resend timer value, we have a value in nsec but the timer is in jiffies which may be a million or more times more coarse. nsecs_to_jiffies() rounds down - which means that the resend timeout expressed as jiffies is very likely earlier than the one expressed as nanoseconds from which it was derived. The problem is that rxrpc_resend() gets triggered by the timer, but can't then find anything to resend yet. It sets the timer again - but gets kicked off immediately again and again until the nanosecond-based expiry time is reached and we actually retransmit. Fix this by adding 1 to the jiffies-based resend_at value to counteract the rounding and make sure that the timer happens after the nanosecond-based expiry is passed. Alternatives would be to adjust the timestamp on the packets to align with the jiffie scale or to switch back to using jiffie-timestamps. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Clear the ACK reason, ACK timer and resend timer when entering the client reply phase when the first DATA packet is received. New ACKs will be proposed once the data is queued. The resend timer is no longer relevant and we need to cancel ACKs scheduled to probe for a lost reply. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Send an ACK if we haven't sent one for the last two packets we've received. This keeps the other end apprised of where we've got to - which is important if they're doing slow-start. We do this in recvmsg so that we can dispatch a packet directly without the need to wake up the background thread. This should possibly be made configurable in future.

Merge tag 'rxrpc-rewrite-20160923' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs David Howells says: ==================== rxrpc: Bug fixes and tracepoints Here are a bunch of bug fixes: (1) Need to set the timestamp on a Tx packet before queueing it to avoid trouble with the retransmission function. (2) Don't send an ACK at the end of the service reply transmission; it's the responsibility of the client to send an ACK to close the call. The service can resend the last DATA packet or send a PING ACK. (3) Wake sendmsg() on abnormal call termination. (4) Use ktime_add_ms() not ktime_add_ns() to add millisecond offsets. (5) Use before_eq() & co. to compare serial numbers (which may wrap). (6) Start the resend timer on DATA packet transmission. (7) Don't accidentally cancel a retransmission upon receiving a NACK. (8) Fix the call timer setting function to deal with timeouts that are now or past. (9) Don't use a flag to communicate the presence of the last packet in the Tx buffer from sendmsg to the input routines where ACK and DATA reception is handled. The problem is that there's a window between queueing the last packet for transmission and setting the flag in which ACKs or reply DATA packets can arrive, causing apparent state machine violation issues. Instead use the annotation buffer to mark the last packet and pick up and set the flag in the input routines. (10) Don't call the tx_ack tracepoint and don't allocate a serial number if someone else nicked the ACK we were about to transmit. There are also new tracepoints and one altered tracepoint used to track down the above bugs: (11) Call timer tracepoint. (12) Data Tx tracepoint (and adjustments to ACK tracepoint). (13) Injected Rx packet loss tracepoint. (14) Ack proposal tracepoint. (15) Retransmission selection tracepoint. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-09-23 This series contains updates to ixgbe and ixgbevf. Emil provides several changes, first simplifies the logic for setting VLAN filtering by checking the VMDQ flag and the old 82598 MAC, instead of having to maintain a list of MAC types. Then made two functions static that are used only within the file, a by-product is sparse is now happy. Added spinlocks to make sure that the MTU configuration is handled properly. Fixed an issue where when SR-IOV is enabled while the ixgbevf driver is loaded would result in all mailbox requests being rejected by ixgbe, so call ixgbe_sriov_reinit() before pci_enable_sriov() to ensure mailbox requests are properly handled. Mark resolves a NULL pointer issue by simply setting the read and write *_ref_mdi pointers for x550em_a devices. Then clearly indicates within ethtool that all MACs support pause frames and made sure that the advertising is set to the requested mode. Fixed an issue where MDIO_PRTAD_NONE was not being used consistently to indicate no PHY address. Alex fixes an issue, where the support for multiple queues when SR-IOV is enabled was added but the support was not reported. With that, fix an issue where the hardware redirection table could support more queues then the PF currently has when SR-IOV is enabled, so use the RSS mask to trim off the bits that are not used. Lastly, instead of limiting the VFs if we do not use 4 queues for RSS in the PF, we can instead just limit the RSS queues used to a power of 2. We can now support use cases where VFs are using more queues than the PF is currently using and can support RSS if so desired. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== 40GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2016-09-22 This series contains updates to i40e and i40evf only. Sridhar fixes link state event handling by updating the carrier and starts/stops the Tx queues based on the link state notification from PF. Brady fixes an issue where a user defined RSS hash key was not being set because a user defined indirection table is not supplied when changing the hash key, so if an indirection table is not supplied now, then a default one is created and the hash key is correctly set. Also fixed an issue where when NPAR was enabled, we were still using pf->mac_seid to perform the dump port query. Instead, go through the VSI to determine the correct ID to use in either case. Mitch provides one fix where a conditional return code was reversed, so he does a "switheroo" to fix the issue. Carolyn has two fixes, first fixes an issue in the virt channel code, where a return code was not checked for NULL when applicable. Second, fixes an issue where we were byte swapping the port parameter, then byte swapping it again in function execution. Colin Ian King fixes a potential NULL pointer dereference. Bimmy changes up i40evf_up_complete() to be void since it always returns success anyways, which allows cleaning up of code which checked the return code from this function. Alex fixed an issue where the driver was incorrectly assuming that we would always be pulling no more than 1 descriptor from each fragment. So to correct this, we just need to make certain to test all the way to the end of the fragments as it is possible for us to span 2 descriptors in the block before us so we need to guarantee that even the last 6 descriptors have enough data to fill a full frame. v2: dropped patches 1-3, 10 and 12 from the original series since Or Gerlitz pointed out several areas of improvement in the implementation of the VF Port representor netdev. Sridhar is re-working the series for later submission. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Tariq Toukan says: ==================== mlx4 VF vlan protocol 802.1ad support This patchset adds VF VLAN protocol 802.1ad support to the mlx4 driver. We extended the VF VLAN API with an additional parameter for VLAN protocol, and kept 802.1Q as drivers' default. We prepared a userspace support (ip link tool). The patch will be submitted to the iproute2 mailing list. The ip link tool VF VLAN protocol parameter is optional (default: 802.1Q). A configuration command of VF VLAN that is used prior to this patchset will result in same functionality as today's (VST with VLAN protocol 802.1Q). The series generated against net-next commit: 688dc536 "Merge branch 'mlx4-next'" All maintainers of the modified modules are in cc. v3: Expand the UAPI to a nested list to support future use-cases. Use a more formal feature name. v2: Drop patch 4 ("net/mlx4_core: Add an option to configure SVLAN TPID"). Patch 1/5: Update commit log. 2-3/5: Split patch 2 into two patches, to separate between changes done in mlx4_core and the ones done in mlx4_en. 4-5/5: Split patch 3 into two patches, to separate between the addition of a protocol parameter and the actual implementation in mlx4_en. In addition, we implement a handshake mechanism so PF and VF exchange their VST QinQ support capability. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Move the vf to VST 802.1ad mode (mlx4 VST QinQ mode) by setting vf vlan protocol to 802.1ad. VST 802.1ad mode in mlx4, is used for STAG strip/insertion by PF, while the CTAG is set by the VF. Read current vlan protocol as part of the vf configuration state. Upon setting vf vlan protocol to 802.1ad, we use a mechanism of handshake to verify that both the vf and the pf driver version support it. The handshake uses the command QUERY_FUNC_CAP: - The vf sets a pre-defined support bit in input modifier. - A pf that supports the feature sends the request to the vf through a pre-defined field in the output mailbox. - In case vf does not support the feature, the pf will fail the control command (in this case, IP link tool command to set the vf vlan protocol to 802.1ad).

Introduce new rtnl UAPI that exposes a list of vlans per VF, giving the ability for user-space application to specify it for the VF, as an option to support 802.1ad. We adjusted IP Link tool to support this option. For future use cases, the new UAPI supports multiple vlans. For now we limit the list size to a single vlan in kernel. Add IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST in addition to IFLA_VF_VLAN to keep backward compatibility with older versions of IP Link tool. Add a vlan protocol parameter to the ndo_set_vf_vlan callback. We kept 802.1Q as the drivers' default vlan protocol. Suitable ip link tool command examples: Set vf vlan protocol 802.1ad: ip link set eth0 vf 1 vlan 100 proto 802.1ad Set vf to VST (802.1Q) mode: ip link set eth0 vf 1 vlan 100 proto 802.1Q Or by omitting the new parameter ip link set eth0 vf 1 vlan 100 Signed-off-by: Moshe Shemesh <moshe@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Add a tracepoint to log in rxrpc_resend() which packets will be retransmitted.

rxrpc_send_call_packet() is invoking the tx_ack tracepoint before it checks whether there's an ACK to transmit (another thread may jump in and transmit it). Fix this by only invoking the tracepoint if we get a valid ACK to transmit. Further, only allocate a serial number if we're going to actually transmit something.

When the last packet of data to be transmitted on a call is queued, tx_top is set and then the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag is set. Unfortunately, this leaves a race in the ACK processing side of things because the flag affects the interpretation of tx_top and also allows us to start receiving reply data before we've finished transmitting. To fix this, make the following changes: (1) rxrpc_queue_packet() now sets a marker in the annotation buffer instead of setting the RXRPC_CALL_TX_LAST flag. (2) rxrpc_rotate_tx_window() detects the marker and sets the flag in the same context as the routines that use it. (3) rxrpc_end_tx_phase() is simplified to just shift the call state. The Tx window must have been rotated before calling to discard the last packet. (4) rxrpc_receiving_reply() is added to handle the arrival of the first DATA packet of a reply to a client call (which is an implicit ACK of the Tx phase). (5) The last part of rxrpc_input_ack() is reordered to perform Tx rotation, then soft-ACK application and then to end the phase if we've rotated the last packet. In the event of a terminal ACK, the soft-ACK application will be skipped as nAcks should be 0. (6) rxrpc_input_ackall() now has to rotate as well as ending the phase. In addition: (7) Alter the transmit tracepoint to log the rotation of the last packet. (8) Remove the no-longer relevant queue_reqack tracepoint note. The ACK-REQUESTED packet header flag is now set as needed when we actually transmit the packet and may vary by retransmission. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Fix the call timer in the following ways: (1) If call->resend_at or call->ack_at are before or equal to the current time, then ignore that timeout. (2) If call->expire_at is before or equal to the current time, then don't set the timer at all (possibly we should queue the call). (3) Don't skip modifying the timer if timer_pending() is true. This indicates that the timer is working, not that it has expired and is running/waiting to run its expiry handler. Also call rxrpc_set_timer() to start the call timer going rather than calling add_timer(). Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

When rxrpc_input_soft_acks() is parsing the soft-ACKs from an ACK packet, it updates the Tx packet annotations in the annotation buffer. If a soft-ACK is an ACK, then we overwrite unack'd, nak'd or to-be-retransmitted states and that is fine; but if the soft-ACK is an NACK, we overwrite the to-be-retransmitted with a nak - which isn't. Instead, we need to let any scheduled retransmission stand if the packet was NAK'd. Note that we don't reissue a resend if the annotation is in the to-be-retransmitted state because someone else must've scheduled the resend already. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
