Jesse Gross says: ==================== [GIT net-next] Open vSwitch Open vSwitch changes for net-next/3.14. Highlights are: * Performance improvements in the mechanism to get packets to userspace using memory mapped netlink and skb zero copy where appropriate. * Per-cpu flow stats in situations where flows are likely to be shared across CPUs. Standard flow stats are used in other situations to save memory and allocation time. * A handful of code cleanups and rationalization. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Use of skb_zerocopy() can avoid the expensive call to memcpy() when copying the packet data into the Netlink skb. Completes checksum through skb_checksum_help() if not already done in GSO segmentation. Zerocopy is only performed if user space supported unaligned Netlink messages. memory mapped netlink i/o is preferred over zerocopy if it is set up. Cost of upcall is significantly reduced from: + 7.48% vhost-8471 [k] memcpy + 5.57% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy + 2.81% vhost-8471 [k] csum_partial_copy_generic to: + 5.72% ovs-vswitchd [k] memcpy + 3.32% vhost-5153 [k] memcpy + 0.68% vhost-5153 [k] skb_zerocopy (megaflows disabled) Signed-off-by: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

With mega flow implementation ovs flow can be shared between multiple CPUs which makes stats updates highly contended operation. This patch uses per-CPU stats in cases where a flow is likely to be shared (if there is a wildcard in the 5-tuple and therefore likely to be spread by RSS). In other situations, it uses the current strategy, saving memory and allocation time. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>

We won't normally have a ton of flow masks but using a size_t to store values no bigger than sizeof(struct sw_flow_key) seems excessive. This reduces sw_flow_key_range and sw_flow_mask by 4 bytes on 32-bit systems. On 64-bit systems it shrinks sw_flow_key_range by 12 bytes but sw_flow_mask only by 8 bytes due to padding.

br_multicast_set_hash_max() is called from process context in net/bridge/br_sysfs_br.c by the sysfs store_hash_max() function. br_multicast_set_hash_max() calls spin_lock(&br->multicast_lock), which can deadlock the CPU if a softirq that also tries to take the same lock interrupts br_multicast_set_hash_max() while the lock is held . This can happen quite easily when any of the bridge multicast timers expire, which try to take the same lock. The fix here is to use spin_lock_bh(), preventing other softirqs from executing on this CPU. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a bridge with several interfaces (I used 4). 2. Set the "multicast query interval" to a low number, like 2. 3. Enable the bridge as a multicast querier. 4. Repeatedly set the bridge hash_max parameter via sysfs. # brctl addbr br0 # brctl addif br0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 # brctl setmcqi br0 2 # brctl setmcquerier br0 1 # while true ; do echo 4096 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/hash_max; done Signed-off-by: Curt Brune <curt@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: Scott Feldman <sfeldma@cumulusnetworks.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet authored
Sathya Perla posted a patch trying to address following problem : <quote> The vxlan driver sets itself as the socket owner for all the TX flows it encapsulates (using vxlan_set_owner()) and assigns it's own skb destructor. This causes all tunneled traffic to land up on only one TXQ as all encapsulated skbs refer to the vxlan socket and not the original socket. Also, the vxlan skb destructor breaks some functionality for tunneled traffic like wmem accounting and as TCP small queues and FQ/pacing packet scheduler. </quote> I reworked Sathya patch and added some explanations. vxlan_xmit() can avoid one skb_clone()/dev_kfree_skb() pair and gain better drop monitor accuracy, by calling kfree_skb() when appropriate. The UDP socket used by vxlan to perform encapsulation of xmit packets do not need to be alive while packets leave vxlan code. Its better to keep original socket ownership to get proper feedback from qdisc and NIC layers. We use skb->sk to A) control amount of bytes/packets queued on behalf of a socket, but prior vxlan code did the skb->sk transfert without any limit/control on vxlan socket sk_sndbuf. B) security purposes (as selinux) or netfilter uses, and I do not think anything is prepared to handle vxlan stacked case in this area. By not changing ownership, vxlan tunnels behave like other tunnels. As Stephen mentioned, we might do the same change in L2TP.

TCP out_of_order_queue lock is not used, as queue manipulation happens with socket lock held and we therefore use the lockless skb queue routines (as __skb_queue_head()) We can use __skb_queue_head_init() instead of skb_queue_head_init() to make this more consistent.

The existing serial state notification handling expected older Option devices, having a hardcoded assumption that the Modem port was always USB interface #2. That isn't true for devices from the past few years. hso_serial_state_notification is a local cache of a USB Communications Interface Class SERIAL_STATE notification from the device, and the USB CDC specification (section 6.3, table 67 "Class-Specific Notifications") defines wIndex as the USB interface the event applies to. For hso devices this will always be the Modem port, as the Modem port is the only port which is set up to receive them by the driver. So instead of always expecting USB interface #2, instead validate the notification with the actual USB interface number of the Modem port. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com> Tested-by: H.

Proportional Integral controller Enhanced (PIE) is a scheduler to address the bufferbloat problem. >From the IETF draft below: " Bufferbloat is a phenomenon where excess buffers in the network cause high latency and jitter. As more and more interactive applications (e.g. voice over IP, real time video streaming and financial transactions) run in the Internet, high latency and jitter degrade application performance. There is a pressing need to design intelligent queue management schemes that can control latency and jitter; and hence provide desirable quality of service to users. We present here a lightweight design, PIE(Proportional Integral controller Enhanced) that can effectively control the average queueing latency to a target value. Simulation results, theoretical analysis and Linux testbed results have shown that PIE can ensure low latency and achieve high link utilization under various congestion situations. The design does not require per-packet timestamp, so it incurs very small overhead and is simple enough to implement in both hardware and software. " Many thanks to Dave Taht for extensive feedback, reviews, testing and suggestions. Thanks also to Stephen Hemminger and Eric Dumazet for reviews and suggestions.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates This series contains updates to i40e only. Majority of this series contains patches from Greg and Mitch to fix up or add functionality to the PF/VF driver interactions. Notably, a fix for SR-IOV VF port VLAN which resolved the problem of port VLAN configurations not being persistent across VF driver loads and unloads and enable/disable of the feature. Also do not enable the default port on the VEB, which is designed only to bridge the PF to an Open vSwitch or bridge. Another fix to resolve a possible memory corruption condition where ARQ messages are written to random memory locations. Fix a problem where the 'ip link show' command would display stale link address information after the link address was set via the 'ip link set' command. Anjali provides several patches, one which saves information that can be used while cleaning the Tx ring and useful in detecting Tx hangs. Then provides a fixes to the admin queue shutdown function to ensure we are shutting down the queue in the shutdown path and ensure ASQ is alive before issuing the admin queue command.
