Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to e1000, igb, ixgbe and ixgbevf. Hong Zhiguo provides a fix for e1000 where tx_ring and adapter->tx_ring are already of type "struct e1000_tx_ring" so no need to divide by e1000_tx_ring size in the idx calculation. Emil provides a fix for ixgbevf to remove a redundant workaround related to header split and a fix for ixgbe to resolve an issue where the MTA table can be cleared when the interface is reset while in promisc mode. Todd provides a fix for igb to prevent ethtool from writing to the iNVM in i210/i211 devices. This issue was reported by Marek Vasut <marex@denx.de>. Anton Blanchard provides a fix for ixgbe to reduce memory consumption with larger page sizes, seen on PPC. Don provides a cleanup in ixgbe to replace the IXGBE_DESC_UNUSED macro with the inline function ixgbevf_desc_unused() to make the logic a bit more readable. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This patch resolves an issue where the MTA table can be cleared when the interface is reset while in promisc mode. As result IPv6 traffic between VFs will be interrupted. This patch makes the update of the MTA table unconditional to avoid the inconsistent clearing on reset.

The ixgbe driver allocates pages for its receive rings. It currently uses 512 pages, regardless of page size. During receive handling it adds the unused part of the page back into the rx ring, avoiding the need for a new allocation. On a ppc64 box with 64 threads and 64kB pages, we end up with 512 entries * 64 rx queues * 64kB = 2GB memory used. Even more of a concern is that we use up 2GB of IOMMU space in order to map all this memory. The driver makes a number of decisions based on if PAGE_SIZE is less than 8kB, so use this as the breakpoint and only allocate 128 entries on 8kB or larger page sizes.

Alexandre Rames authored
When using firmware assisted TSO, we use a single DMA mapping for the linear area of a TSO skb. We still have to segment the super-packet and insert a descriptor containing the original headers before each segment of payload, so we can unmap the linear area only after the last segment is completed. The unmapping information for the linear area is therefore associated with the last header descriptor. We calculate the DMA address to unmap from using the map length and the invariant that the end of the DMA mapping matches the end of the data referenced by the last descriptor. But this invariant is broken when there is TCP payload in the linear area. Fix this by adding and using an explicit dma_offset field. Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings <bhutchings@solarflare.com>

The message dispatching part of tipc_recv_msg() is wrapped layers of while/if/if/switch, causing out-of-control indentation and does not look very good. We reduce two indentation levels by separating the message dispatching from the blocks that checks link state and sequence numbers, allowing longer function and arg names to be consistently indented without wrapping. Additionally we also rename "cont" label to "discard" and add one new label called "unlock_discard" to make code clearer. In all, these are cosmetic changes that do not alter the operation of TIPC in any way.

Yuchung Cheng authored
Fast Open currently has a fall back feature to address SYN-data being dropped but it requires the middle-box to pass on regular SYN retry after SYN-data. This is implemented in commit aab48743 ("net-tcp: Fast Open client - detecting SYN-data drops") However some NAT boxes will drop all subsequent packets after first SYN-data and blackholes the entire connections. An example is in commit 356d7d88 "netfilter: nf_conntrack: fix tcp_in_window for Fast Open". The sender should note such incidents and fall back to use the regular TCP handshake on subsequent attempts temporarily as well: after the second SYN timeouts the original Fast Open SYN is most likely lost. When such an event recurs Fast Open is disabled based on the number of recurrences exponentially.

Jeff Kirsher says: ==================== This series contains updates to vxlan, net, ixgbe, ixgbevf, and i40e. Joseph provides a single patch against vxlan which removes the burden from the NIC drivers to check if the vxlan driver is enabled in the kernel and also makes available the vxlan headrooms to the drivers. Jacob provides majority of the patches, with patches against net, ixgbe and ixgbevf. His net patch adds might_sleep() call to napi_disable so that every use of napi_disable during atomic context will be visible. Then Jacob provides a patch to fix qv_lock_napi call in ixgbe_napi_disable_all. The other ixgbe patches cleanup ixgbe_check_minimum_link function to correctly show that there are some minor loss of encoding, even though we don't calculate it and remove unnecessary duplication of PCIe bandwidth display. Lastly, Jacob provides 4 patches against ixgbevf to add ixgbevf_rx_skb in line with how ixgbe handles the variations on how packets can be received, adds support in order to track how many packets were cleaned during busy poll as part of the extended statistics. Wei Yongjun provides a fix for i40e to return -ENOMEN in the memory allocation error handling case instead of returning 0, as done elsewhere in this function. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

This work contains a lightweight BPF-based traffic classifier that can serve as a flexible alternative to ematch-based tree classification, i.e. now that BPF filter engine can also be JITed in the kernel. Naturally, tc actions and policies are supported as well with cls_bpf. Multiple BPF programs/filter can be attached for a class, or they can just as well be written within a single BPF program, that's really up to the user how he wishes to run/optimize the code, e.g. also for inversion of verdicts etc. The notion of a BPF program's return/exit codes is being kept as follows: 0: No match -1: Select classid given in "tc filter ..." command else: flowid, overwrite the default one As a minimal usage example with iproute2, we use a 3 band prio root qdisc on a router with sfq each as leave, and assign ssh and icmp bpf-based filters to band 1, http traffic to band 2 and the rest to band 3. For the first two bands we load the bytecode from a file, in the 2nd we load it inline as an example: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/core/bpf_jit_enable tc qdisc del dev em1 root tc qdisc add dev em1 root handle 1: prio bands 3 priomap 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:1 sfq perturb 16 tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:2 sfq perturb 16 tc qdisc add dev em1 parent 1:3 sfq perturb 16 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/ssh.bpf flowid 1:1 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/icmp.bpf flowid 1:1 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode-file /etc/tc/http.bpf flowid 1:2 tc filter add dev em1 parent 1: bpf run bytecode "`bpfc -f tc -i misc.ops`" flowid 1:3 BPF programs can be easily created and passed to tc, either as inline 'bytecode' or 'bytecode-file'. There are a couple of front-ends that can compile opcodes, for example: 1) People familiar with tcpdump-like filters: tcpdump -iem1 -ddd port 22 | tr '\n' ',' > /etc/tc/ssh.bpf 2) People that want to low-level program their filters or use BPF extensions that lack support by libpcap's compiler: bpfc -f tc -i ssh.ops > /etc/tc/ssh.bpf ssh.ops example code: ldh [12] jne #0x800, drop ldb [23] jneq #6, drop ldh [20] jset #0x1fff, drop ldxb 4 * ([14] & 0xf) ldh [%x + 14] jeq #0x16, pass ldh [%x + 16] jne #0x16, drop pass: ret #-1 drop: ret #0 It was chosen to load bytecode into tc, since the reverse operation, tc filter list dev em1, is then able to show the exact commands again. Possible follow-up work could also include a small expression compiler for iproute2. Tested with the help of bmon. This idea came up during the Netfilter Workshop 2013 in Copenhagen.
