mlx5-updates-2018-05-17

mlx5 core dirver updates for both net-next and rdma-next branches.

From Christophe JAILLET, first three patches to use kvfree where needed.

From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com>

Next six patches from Roi and Co adds support for merged
sriov e-switch which comes to serve cases where both PFs, VFs set
on them and both uplinks are to be used in single v-switch SW model.
When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically
merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs.

This model allows to offload TC eswitch rules between VFs belonging
to different PFs (and hence have different eswitch affinity), it also
sets the some of the foundations needed for uplink LAG support.

The source e-switch owner allows a vport on one e-switch port be associated
with a rule defined on the second port e-switch.

The role of the source eswitch owner valid bit in the flow group is to
allow the firmware fail driver attempts to wild card the source eswitch
match field. If this bit is not set, the firmware ignores the source
eswitch owner field totally.

When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically
merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs.
Under merged eswitch, both the matching on source vport and setting
destination vport can have a 2nd attribute which is the vhca id of the
eswitch owner.

For example:
esw0: {match: <src vport=1 owner=0> action: fwd to <dst vport=7, owner=1>}
is a flow set on eswitch0 matching on source vport=1 from his eswitch
and the action being fwd to dest vport=7 of eswitch1.

net: Allow more drivers with COMPILE_TEST

This patch series includes more drivers to be build tested with COMPILE_TEST
enabled. This helps cover some of the issues I just ran into with missing
a driver *sigh*.

Chanves in v3:

- drop the TI Keystone NETCP driver from the COMPILE_TEST additions

Changes in v2:

- allow FEC to build outside of CONFIG_ARM/ARM64 by defining a layout of
  registers, this is not meant to run, so this is not a real issue if we
  are not matching the correct register layout

This patch makes use of build_skb() throughout in driver's receieve
data path [HW gro flow and non HW gro flow]. With this, driver can
build skb directly from the page segments which are already mapped
to the hardware instead of allocating new SKB via netdev_alloc_skb()
and memcpy the data which is quite costly.

This really improves performance (keeping same or slight gain in rx
throughput) in terms of CPU utilization which is significantly reduced
[almost half] in non HW gro flow where for every incoming MTU sized
packet driver had to allocate skb, memcpy headers etc. Additionally
in that flow, it also gets rid of bunch of additional overheads
[eth_get_headlen() etc.] to split headers and data in the skb.

10GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2018-05-17

This series contains updates to ixgbe, ixgbevf and ice drivers.

Cathy Zhou resolves sparse warnings by using the force attribute.

Mauro S M Rodrigues fixes a bug where IRQs were not freed if a PCI error
recovery system opts to remove the device which causes
ixgbe_io_error_detected() to return PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT before
calling ixgbe_close_suspend() which results in IRQs not freed and
crashing when the remove handler calls pci_disable_device().  Resolved
this by calling ixgbe_close_suspend() before evaluating the PCI channel
state.

Pavel Tatashin releases the rtnl_lock during the call to
ixgbe_close_suspend() to allow scaling if device_shutdown() is
multi-threaded.

Emil modifies ixgbe to not validate the MAC address during a reset,
unless the MAC was set on the host so that the VF will get a new MAC
address every time it reloads.  Also updates ixgbevf to set
hw->mac.perm_addr in order to retain the custom MAC on a reset.

Anirudh updates the ice NVM read/erase/update AQ commands to align with
the latest specification.

net: mvpp2: phylink conversion

This series convert the Marvell PPv2 driver to phylink (models the MAC
to PHY link).

One important point is the PPv2 driver supports two probe modes: device
tree and ACPI. This series only brings phylink support for the device
tree mode, as the ACPI one will need further work. Still, the driver
should be working as before when using ACPI. This split should be
temporary, and was discussed with Marcin (in Cc.) who added ACPI support
to the driver.

Also as the SFP cages on both DB boards can be considered as non-wired.
We thus chose not to describe those SFP cages and we use fixed-link.

The rest of the series uses phylink to add support for 1000BaseX and
2500BaseX modes in the PPv2 driver. To do this, two patches are needed
in the common PHY framework (patches 3 and 4). The last 4 patches modify
the device tree to use the new PPv2 functionalities.

The series has been tested for the device tree mode on the 7040-db,
8040-db and 8040-mcbin boards, to ensure all the interface where working
as expected.

@Dave: patches 7 to 10 should go through the mvebu tree (Gregory in
Cc.) to avoid any conflict with the other mvebu dt patches taken during
this cycle.

The series is based on today's net-next.

Since v2:
  - Removed the SFP description from the DB boards, as their SFP cages
    are wired properly. We now use fixed-link.
  - Because of this rework, split the series in two, so that the SFP
    part is reviewed separately.
  - Small fixes in the phylink patch.
  - Rebased on the latest net-next branch.

Since v1:
  - Chose a different approach to the SFP changes, as the previous ones
    weren't valid and reworked both BD boards device trees.
  - Misc fixes.
  - Added Kishon's acked-by on one patch.
  - Rebaed on latest net-next branch.

Convert the PPv2 driver to implement phylink helpers, and use phylink in
DT mode. The other mode supported is ACPI, which will need further work
in order to be entirely compatible with phylink.

The MAC and GoP configuration functions were completely moved to fit
into the phylink helpers. When a PHY is always present between the MAC
and the physical port, phylink only is used, but when this is not the
case (the MAC directly is connected to the physical port) the link IRQ
is used to detect changes in the link state and call phylink_mac_change.

The ACPI mode do not uses phylink as of now, and the changes shouldn't
impact its use.

tcp: default RACK loss recovery

This patch set implements the features correspond to the
draft-ietf-tcpm-rack-03 version of the RACK draft.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/101/materials/slides-101-tcpm-update-on-tcp-rack-00

1. SACK: implement equivalent DUPACK threshold heuristic in RACK to
   replace existing RFC6675 recovery (tcp_mark_head_lost).

2. Non-SACK: simplify RFC6582 NewReno implementation

3. RTO: apply RACK's time-based approach to avoid spuriouly
   marking very recently sent packets lost.

4. with (1)(2)(3), make RACK the exclusive fast recovery mechanism to
   mark losses based on time on S/ACK. Tail loss probe and F-RTO remain
   enabled by default as complementary mechanisms to send probes in
   CA_Open and CA_Loss states. The probes would solicit S/ACKs to trigger
   RACK time-based loss detection.

All Google web and internal servers have been running RACK-only mode
(4) for a while now. a/b experiments indicate RACK/TLP on average
reduces recovery latency by 10% compared to RFC6675. RFC6675
is default-off now but can be enabled by disabling RACK (sysctl
net.ipv4.tcp_recovery=0) for unseen issues.

An RTO event indicates the head has not been acked for a long time
after its last (re)transmission. But the other packets are not
necessarily lost if they have been only sent recently (for example
due to application limit). This patch would prohibit marking packets
sent within an RTT to be lost on RTO event, using similar logic in
TCP RACK detection.

Normally the head (SND.UNA) would be marked lost since RTO should
fire strictly after the head was sent. An exception is when the
most recent RACK RTT measurement is larger than the (previous)
RTO. To address this exception the head is always marked lost.

Congestion control interaction: since we may not mark every packet
lost, the congestion window may be more than 1 (inflight plus 1).
But only one packet will be retransmitted after RTO, since
tcp_retransmit_timer() calls tcp_retransmit_skb(...,segs=1). The
connection still performs slow start from one packet (with Cubic
congestion control).

This commit was tested in an A/B test with Google web servers,
and showed a reduction of 2% in (spurious) retransmits post
timeout (SlowStartRetrans), and correspondingly reduced DSACKs
(DSACKIgnoredOld) by 7%.

Previously when TCP times out, it first updates cwnd and ssthresh,
marks packets lost, and then updates congestion state again. This
was fine because everything not yet delivered is marked lost,
so the inflight is always 0 and cwnd can be safely set to 1 to
retransmit one packet on timeout.

But the inflight may not always be 0 on timeout if TCP changes to
mark packets lost based on packet sent time. Therefore we must
first mark the packet lost, then set the cwnd based on the
(updated) inflight.

This is not a pure refactor. Congestion control may potentially
break if it uses (not yet updated) inflight to compute ssthresh.
Fortunately all existing congestion control modules does not do that.
Also it changes the inflight when CA_LOSS_EVENT is called, and only
westwood processes such an event but does not use inflight.

This change has two other minor side benefits:
1) consistent with Fast Recovery s.t. the inflight is updated
   first before tcp_enter_recovery flips state to CA_Recovery.

2) avoid intertwining loss marking with state update, making the
   code more readable.

The previous approach for the lost and retransmit bits was to
wipe the slate clean: zero all the lost and retransmit bits,
correspondingly zero the lost_out and retrans_out counters, and
then add back the lost bits (and correspondingly increment lost_out).

The new approach is to treat this very much like marking packets
lost in fast recovery. We don’t wipe the slate clean. We just say
that for all packets that were not yet marked sacked or lost, we now
mark them as lost in exactly the same way we do for fast recovery.

This fixes the lost retransmit accounting at RTO time and greatly
simplifies the RTO code by sharing much of the logic with Fast
Recovery.

This is a rewrite of NewReno loss recovery implementation that is
simpler and standalone for readability and better performance by
using less states.

Note that NewReno refers to RFC6582 as a modification to the fast
recovery algorithm. It is used only if the connection does not
support SACK in Linux. It should not to be confused with the Reno
(AIMD) congestion control.

This patch disables RFC6675 loss detection and make sysctl
net.ipv4.tcp_recovery = 1 controls a binary choice between RACK
(1) or RFC6675 (0).
