      net/smc: Limit SMC visits when handshake workqueue congested · 48b6190a
      D. Wythe authored
      This patch intends to provide a mechanism to put constraint on SMC
      connections visit according to the pressure of SMC handshake process.
      At present, frequent visits will cause the incoming connections to be
      backlogged in SMC handshake queue, raise the connections established
      time. Which is quite unacceptable for those applications who base on
      short lived connections.
      
      There are two ways to implement this mechanism:
      
      1. Put limitation after TCP established.
      2. Put limitation before TCP established.
      
      In the first way, we need to wait and receive CLC messages that the
      client will potentially send, and then actively reply with a decline
      message, in a sense, which is also a sort of SMC handshake, affect the
      connections established time on its way.
      
      In the second way, the only problem is that we need to inject SMC logic
      into TCP when it is about to reply the incoming SYN, since we already do
      that, it's seems not a problem anymore. And advantage is obvious, few
      additional processes are required to complete the constraint.
      
      This patch use the second way. After this patch, connections who beyond
      constraint will not informed any SMC indication, and SMC will not be
      involved in any of its subsequent processes.

      net/smc: Limit backlog connections · 8270d9c2
      D. Wythe authored
      Current implementation does not handling backlog semantics, one
      potential risk is that server will be flooded by infinite amount
      connections, even if client was SMC-incapable.
      
      This patch works to put a limit on backlog connections, referring to the
      TCP implementation, we divides SMC connections into two categories:
      
      1. Half SMC connection, which includes all TCP established while SMC not
      connections.
      
      2. Full SMC connection, which includes all SMC established connections.
      
      For half SMC connection, since all half SMC connections starts with TCP
      established, we can achieve our goal by put a limit before TCP
      established. Refer to the implementation of TCP, this limits will based
      on not only the half SMC connections but also the full connections,
      which is also a constraint on full SMC connections.
      
      For full SMC connections, although we know exactly where it starts, it's
      quite hard to put a limit before it. The easiest way is to block wait
      before receive SMC confirm CLC message, while it's under protection by
      smc_server_lgr_pending, a global lock, which leads this limit to the
      entire host instead of a single listen socket. Another way is to drop
      the full connections, but considering the cast of SMC connections, we
      prefer to keep full SMC connections.
      
      Even so, the limits of full SMC connections still exists, see commits
      about half SMC connection below.
      
      After this patch, the limits of backend connection shows like:
      
      For SMC:
      
      1. Client with SMC-capability can makes 2 * backlog full SMC connections
         or 1 * backlog half SMC connections and 1 * backlog full SMC
         connections at most.
      
      2. Client without SMC-capability can only makes 1 * backlog half TCP
         connections and 1 * backlog full TCP connections.

      net/smc: Make smc_tcp_listen_work() independent · 3079e342
      D. Wythe authored
      In multithread and 10K connections benchmark, the backend TCP connection
      established very slowly, and lots of TCP connections stay in SYN_SENT
      state.
      
      Client: smc_run wrk -c 10000 -t 4 http://server
      
      the netstate of server host shows like:
          145042 times the listen queue of a socket overflowed
          145042 SYNs to LISTEN sockets dropped
      
      One reason of this issue is that, since the smc_tcp_listen_work() shared
      the same workqueue (smc_hs_wq) with smc_listen_work(), while the
      smc_listen_work() do blocking wait for smc connection established. Once
      the workqueue became congested, it's will block the accept() from TCP
      listen.
      
      This patch creates a independent workqueue(smc_tcp_ls_wq) for
      smc_tcp_listen_work(), separate it from smc_listen_work(), which is
      quite acceptable considering that smc_tcp_listen_work() runs very fast.

      dt-bindings: net: dsa: realtek: convert to YAML schema, add MDIO · 429c83c7
      Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca authored
      Schema changes:
      
      - support for mdio-connected switches (mdio driver), recognized by
        checking the presence of property "reg"
      - new compatible strings for rtl8367s and rtl8367rb
      - "interrupt-controller" was not added as a required property. It might
        still work polling the ports when missing.
      
      Examples changes:
      
      - renamed "switch_intc" to make it unique between examples
      - removed "dsa-mdio" from mdio compatible property
      - renamed phy@0 to ethernet-phy@0 (not tested with real HW)
        phy@ requires #phy-cells
