      ath9k: fix intr_txqs setting · 5125b9a9
      Peter Seiderer authored
      The struct ath_hw member intr_txqs is never reset/assigned outside
      of ath9k_hw_init_queues() and with the used bitwise-or in the interrupt
      handling ar9002_hw_get_isr() accumulates all ever set interrupt flags.
      
      Fix this by using a pure assign instead of bitwise-or for the
      first line (note: intr_txqs is only evaluated in case ATH9K_INT_TX bit
      is set).

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull setattr idmapping fix from Christian Brauner:
       "This contains a simple fix for setattr. When determining the validity
        of the attributes the ia_{g,u}id fields contain the value that will be
        written to inode->i_{g,u}id. When the {g,u}id attribute of the file
        isn't altered and the caller's fs{g,u}id matches the current {g,u}id
        attribute the attribute change is allowed.
      
        The value in ia_{g,u}id does already account for idmapped mounts and
        will have taken the relevant idmapping into account. So in order to
        verify that the {g,u}id attribute isn't changed we simple need to
        compare the ia_{g,u}id value against the inode's i_{g,u}id value.
      
        This only has any meaning for idmapped mounts as idmapping helpers are
        idempotent without them. And for idmapped mounts this really only has
        a meaning when circular idmappings are used, i.e. mappings where e.g.
        id 1000 is mapped to id 1001 and id 1001 is mapped to id 1000. Such
        ciruclar mappings can e.g. be useful when sharing the same home
        directory between multiple users at the same time.
      
        Before this patch we could end up denying legitimate attribute changes
        and allowing invalid attribute changes when circular mappings are
        used. To even get into this situation the caller must've been
        privileged both to create that mapping and to create that idmapped
        mount.
      
        This hasn't been seen in the wild anywhere but came up when expanding
        the fstest suite during work on a series of hardening patches. All
        idmapped fstests pass without any regressions and we're adding new
        tests to verify the behavior of circular mappings.
      
        The new tests can be found at [1]"

      ===================
      lan78xx NAPI Performance Improvements
      
      This patch set introduces a set of changes to the lan78xx driver
      that were originally developed as part of an investigation into
      the performance of TCP and UDP transfers on an Android system.
      The changes increase the throughput of both UDP and TCP transfers
      and reduce the overall CPU load.
      
      These improvements are also seen on a standard Linux kernel. Typical
      results are included at the end of this document.
      
      The changes to the driver evolved over time. The patches presented
      here attempt to organise the changes in to coherent blocks that
      affect logically connected parts of the driver. The patches do not
      reflect the way in which the code evolved during the performance
      investigation.
      
      Each patch produces a working driver that has an incremental
      improvement but patches 2, 3 and 6 should be considered a single
      update.
      
      The changes affect the following parts of the driver:
      
      1. Deferred URB processing
      
      The deferred URB processing that was originally done by a tasklet
      is now done by a NAPI polling routine. The NAPI cycle has a fixed
      work budget that controls how many received frames are passed to
      the network stack.
      
      Patch 6 introduces the NAPI polling but depends on preceding patches.
      
      The new NAPI polling routine is also responsible for submitting
      Rx and Tx URBs to the USB host controller.
      
      Moving the URB processing to a NAPI-based system "smoothed"
      incoming and outgoing data flows on the Android system under
      investigation. However, taken in isolation, moving from a tasklet
      approach to a NAPI approach made little or no difference to the
      overall performance.
      
      2. URB buffer management
      
      The driver creates a pool of Tx and a pool of Rx URB buffers. Each
      buffer is large enough to accommodate a packet with the maximum MTU
      data. URBs are allocated from these pools as required.
      
      Patch 2 introduces the new Tx buffer pool.
      Patch 3 introduces the new Rx buffer pool.
      
      3. Tx pending data
      
      SKBs containing data to be transmitted are added to a queue. The
      driver tracks free Tx URBs and the corresponding free Tx URB space.
      When new Tx URBs are submitted, pending data is copied into the
      URB buffer until the URB buffer is filled or there is no more
      pending data. This maximises utilisation the LAN78xx internal
      USB and network frame buffers.
      
      New Tx URBs are submitted to the USB host controller as part of the
      NAPI polling cycle.
      
      Patch 2 introduces these changes.
      
      4. Rx URB completion
      
      A new URB is no longer submitted as part of the URB completion
      callback.
      New URBs are submitted during the NAPI polling cycle.
      
      Patch 3 introduces these changes.
      
      5. Rx URB processing
      
      Completed URBs are put on to queue for processing (as is done in the
      current driver). Network packets in completed URBs are copied from
      the URB buffer in to dynamically allocated SKBs and passed to
      the network stack.
      
      The emptied URBs are resubmitted to the USB host controller.
      
      Patch 3 introduces this change. Patch 6 updates the change to use
      NAPI SKBs.
      
      Each packet passed to the network stack is a single NAPI work item.
      If the NAPI work budget is exhausted the remaining packets in the
      URB are put onto an overflow queue that is processed at the start
      of the next NAPI cycle.
      
      Patch 6 introduces this change.
      
      6. Driver-specific hard_header_len
      
      The driver-specific hard_header_len adjustment was removed as it
      broke generic receive offload (GRO) processing. Moreover, it was no
      longer required due the change in Tx pending data management (see
      point 3. above).
      
      Patch 5 introduces this change.
      
      The modification has been tested on four different target machines:
      
      Target           |    CPU     |   ARCH  | cores | kernel |  RAM  |
      -----------------+------------+---------+-------+--------+-------|
      Raspberry Pi 4B  | Cortex-A72 | aarch64 |   4   | 64-bit |  2 GB |
      Nitrogen8M SBC   | Cortex-A53 | aarch64 |   4   | 64-bit |  2 GB |
      Compaq Pressario | Pentium D  | i686    |   2   | 32-bit |  4 GB |
      Dell T3620       | Core i3    | x86_64  |  2+2  | 64-bit | 16 GB |
      
      The targets, apart from the Compaq, each have an on-chip USB3 host
      controller. A PCIe-based USB3 host controller card was added to the
      Compaq to provide the necessary USB3 host interface.
      
      The network throughput was measured using iperf3. The peer device was
      a second Dell T3620 fitted with an Intel i210 network interface. The
      target machine and the peer device were connected via a Netgear GS105
      gigabit switch.
      
      The CPU load was measured using mpstat running on the target machine.
      
      The tables below summarise the throughput and CPU load improvements
      achieved by the updated driver.
      
      The bandwidth is the average bandwidth reported by iperf3 at the end
      of a 60-second test.
      
      The percentage idle figure is the average idle reported across all
      CPU cores on the target machine for the duration of the test.

      lan78xx: Introduce NAPI polling support · ec4c7e12
      John Efstathiades authored
      This patch introduces a NAPI-style approach for processing completed
      Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing
      CPU load.
      
      Packets in completed URBs are copied to NAPI SKBs and passed to the
      network stack for processing. Each frame passed to the stack is one
      work item in the NAPI budget.
      
      If the NAPI budget is consumed and frames remain, they are added to
      an overflow queue that is processed at the start of the next NAPI
      polling cycle.
      
      The NAPI handler is also responsible for copying pending Tx data to
      Tx URBs and submitting them to the USB host controller for
      transmission.

      lan78xx: Remove hardware-specific header update · 0dd87266
      John Efstathiades authored
      Remove hardware-specific header length adjustment as it is no longer
      required. It also breaks generic receive offload (GRO) processing of
      received TCP frames that results in a TCP ACK being sent for each
      received frame.

      lan78xx: Introduce Rx URB processing improvements · c450a8eb
      John Efstathiades authored
      This patch introduces a new approach to allocating and managing
      Rx URBs that contributes to improving driver throughput and reducing
      CPU load.
      
      A pool of Rx URBs is created during driver instantiation. All the
      URBs are initially submitted to the USB host controller for
      processing.
      
      The default URB buffer size is different for each USB bus speed.
      The chosen sizes provide good USB utilisation with little impact on
      overall packet latency.
      
      Completed URBs are processed in the driver bottom half. The URB
      buffer contents are copied to a dynamically allocated SKB, which is
      then passed to the network stack. The URB is then re-submitted to
      the USB host controller.
      
      NOTE: the call to skb_copy() in rx_process() that copies the URB
      contents to a new SKB is a temporary change to make this patch work
      in its own right. This call will be removed when the NAPI processing
      is introduced by patch 6 in this patch set.
