      net: thunderx: Receive hashing HW offload support · 38bb5d4f
      Sunil Goutham authored
      Adding support for receive hashing HW offload by using RSS_ALG
      and RSS_TAG fields of CQE_RX descriptor. Also removed dependency
      on minimum receive queue count to configure RSS so that hash is
      always generated.
      
      This hash is used by RPS logic to distribute flows across multiple
      CPUs. Offload can be disabled via ethtool.

      ====================
      Optimize the snmp stat aggregation for large cpus
      
      While creating 1000 containers, perf is showing lot of time spent in
      snmp_fold_field on a large cpu system.
      
      The current patch tries to improve by reordering the statistics gathering.
      
      Please note that similar overhead was also reported while creating
      veth pairs  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/19/556
      
      Changes in V4:
       - remove 'item' variable and use IPSTATS_MIB_MAX to avoid sparse
         warning (Eric) also remove 'item' parameter (Joe)
       - add missing memset of padding.
      
      Changes in V3:
       - use memset to initialize temp buffer in leaf function. (David)
       - use memcpy to copy the buffer data to stat instead of unalign_pu (Joe)
       - Move buffer definition to leaf function __snmp6_fill_stats64() (Eric)
       -
      Changes in V2:
       - Allocate the stat calculation buffer in stack. (Eric)
      
      Setup:
      160 cpu (20 core) baremetal powerpc system with 1TB memory
      
      1000 docker containers was created with command
      docker run -itd  ubuntu:15.04  /bin/bash in loop
      
      observation:
      Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
      (at 1000 containers) perf data showed, creating veth interfaces resulting in
      the below code path was taking more time.
      
      rtnl_fill_ifinfo
        -> inet6_fill_link_af
          -> inet6_fill_ifla6_attrs
            -> snmp_fold_field
      
      proposed idea:
       currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
      through per cpu data to of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).
       The patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
      all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
      misses.
      
      Performance of docker creation improved by around more than 2x
      after the patch.

      geneve: Use GRO cells infrastructure. · 8e816df8
      Jesse Gross authored
      Geneve can benefit from GRO at the device level in a manner similar
      to other tunnels, especially as hardware offloads are still emerging.
      
      After this patch, aggregated frames are seen on the tunnel interface.
      Single stream throughput nearly doubles in ideal circumstances (on
      old hardware).

      openvswitch: retain parsed IPv6 header fields in flow on error skipping extension headers · c30da497
      Simon Horman authored
      When an error occurs skipping IPv6 extension headers retain the already
      parsed IP protocol and IPv6 addresses in the flow. Also assume that the
      packet is not a fragment in the absence of information to the contrary;
      that is always use the frag_off value set by ipv6_skip_exthdr().
      
      This allows matching on the IP protocol and IPv6 addresses of packets
      with malformed extension headers.

      ====================
      tunnels: fix incorrect IPv4/v6 headers interpretation
      
      With tunneling, it is currently possible to get an IPv6 header and interpret
      it as an IPv4 header, or to interpret an IPv6 address as an IPv4 address
      (and vice versa). This leads to things like sending packets to incorrect
      address, IPv6 flow label being interpreted as IP packet length, etc.
      
      Fix several places where this can happen.
      
      Most of this is net-next only. The third patch affects net, too, but it
      doesn't seem there's anything in user space that sets the attribute at all
      currently, thus net-next is fine.

      vxlan: do not receive IPv4 packets on IPv6 socket · a43a9ef6
      Jiri Benc authored
      By default (subject to the sysctl settings), IPv6 sockets listen also for
      IPv4 traffic. Vxlan is not prepared for that and expects IPv6 header in
      packets received through an IPv6 socket.
      
      In addition, it's currently not possible to have both IPv4 and IPv6 vxlan
      tunnel on the same port (unless bindv6only sysctl is enabled), as it's not
      possible to create and bind both IPv4 and IPv6 vxlan interfaces and there's
      no way to specify both IPv4 and IPv6 remote/group IP addresses.
      
      Set IPV6_V6ONLY on vxlan sockets to fix both of these issues. This is not
      done globally in udp_tunnel, as l2tp and tipc seems to work okay when
      receiving IPv4 packets on IPv6 socket and people may rely on this behavior.
      The other tunnels (geneve and fou) do not support IPv6.

      fou: reject IPv6 config · b9b6695c
      Jiri Benc authored
      fou does not really support IPv6 encapsulation. After an UDP socket is
      created in fou_create, the encap_rcv callback is set either to fou_udp_recv
      or to gue_udp_recv. Both of those unconditionally assume that the received
      packet has an IPv4 header and access the data at network_header as it was an
      IPv4 header. This leads to IPv6 flow label being interpreted as IP packet
      length, etc.
      
      Disallow fou tunnel to be configured as IPv6 until real IPv6 support is
      added to fou.

      There's currently nothing preventing directing packets with IPv6
      encapsulation data to IPv4 tunnels (and vice versa). If this happens,
      IPv6 addresses are incorrectly interpreted as IPv4 ones.
      
      Track whether the given ip_tunnel_key contains IPv4 or IPv6 data. Store this

      to be encapsulated into an incompatible protocol.

      The driver overrides the error returned by platform_get_irq() with -ENODEV
      which e.g. precludes the deferred  probing from working. Propagate the real

      sctp: ASCONF-ACK with Unresolvable Address should be sent · 7c5a9461
      lucien authored
      RFC 5061:
          This is an opaque integer assigned by the sender to identify each
          request parameter.  The receiver of the ASCONF Chunk will copy this
          32-bit value into the ASCONF Response Correlation ID field of the
          ASCONF-ACK response parameter.  The sender of the ASCONF can use this
          same value in the ASCONF-ACK to find which request the response is
          for.  Note that the receiver MUST NOT change this 32-bit value.
      
          Address Parameter: TLV
      
          This field contains an IPv4 or IPv6 address parameter, as described
          in Section 3.3.2.1 of [RFC4960].
      
      ASCONF chunk with Error Cause Indication Parameter (Unresolvable Address)
      should be sent if the Delete IP Address is not part of the association.

      netlink: mmap: fix lookup frame position · 7084a315
      Ken-ichirou MATSUZAWA authored
      __netlink_lookup_frame() was always called with the same "pos"
      value in netlink_forward_ring(). It will look at the same ring entry
      header over and over again, every time through this loop. Then cycle
      through the whole ring, advancing ring->head, not "pos" until it
      equals the "ring->head != head" loop test fails.

      netlink: add NETLINK_CAP_ACK socket option · 0a6a3a23
      Christophe Ricard authored
      Since commit c05cdb1b ("netlink: allow large data transfers from
      user-space"), the kernel may fail to allocate the necessary room for the
      acknowledgment message back to userspace. This patch introduces a new
      socket option that trims off the payload of the original netlink message.
      
      The netlink message header is still included, so the user can guess from
      the sequence number what is the message that has triggered the
      acknowledgment.
