      Merge branch 'sfc-tso-v2' · 7a8bca04
      David S. Miller authored
      Edward Cree says:
      
      ====================
      sfc: Firmware-Assisted TSO version 2
      
      The firmware on 8000 series SFC NICs supports a new TSO API ("FATSOv2"), and
       7000 series NICs will also support this in an imminent release.  This series
       adds driver support for this TSO implementation.
      The series also removes SWTSO, as it's now equivalent to GSO.  This does not
       actually remove very much code, because SWTSO was grotesquely intertwingled
       with FATSOv1, which will also be removed once 7000 series supports FATSOv2.

      sfc: remove Software TSO · 46d1efd8
      Edward Cree authored
      It gives no advantage over GSO now that xmit_more exists.  If we find
       ourselves unable to handle a TSO skb (because our TXQ doesn't have a
       TSOv2 context and the NIC doesn't support TSOv1), hand it back to GSO.
       Also do that if the TSO handler fails with EINVAL for any other reason.
      As Falcon-architecture NICs don't support any firmware-assisted TSO,
       they no longer advertise TSO feature flags at all.

      sfc: Firmware-Assisted TSO version 2 · e9117e50
      Bert Kenward authored
      Add support for FATSOv2 to the driver. FATSOv2 offloads far more of the task
       of TCP segmentation to the firmware, such that we now just pass a single
       super-packet to the NIC. This means TSO has a great deal in common with a
       normal DMA transmit, apart from adding a couple of option descriptors.
       NIC-specific checks have been moved off the fast path and in to
       initialisation where possible.
      
      This also moves FATSOv1/SWTSO to a new file (tx_tso.c).  The end of transmit
       and some error handling is now outside TSO, since it is common with other
       code.

      netns: make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned int · c7d03a00
      Alexey Dobriyan authored
      Make struct pernet_operations::id unsigned.
      
      There are 2 reasons to do so:
      
      1)
      This field is really an index into an zero based array and
      thus is unsigned entity. Using negative value is out-of-bound
      access by definition.
      
      2)
      On x86_64 unsigned 32-bit data which are mixed with pointers
      via array indexing or offsets added or subtracted to pointers
      are preffered to signed 32-bit data.
      
      "int" being used as an array index needs to be sign-extended
      to 64-bit before being used.
      
      	void f(long *p, int i)
      	{
      		g(p[i]);
      	}
      
        roughly translates to
      
      	movsx	rsi, esi
      	mov	rdi, [rsi+...]
      	call 	g
      
      MOVSX is 3 byte instruction which isn't necessary if the variable is
      unsigned because x86_64 is zero extending by default.
      
      Now, there is net_generic() function which, you guessed it right, uses
      "int" as an array index:
      
      	static inline void *net_generic(const struct net *net, int id)
      	{
      		...
      		ptr = ng->ptr[id - 1];
      		...
      	}
      
      And this function is used a lot, so those sign extensions add up.
      
      Patch snipes ~1730 bytes on allyesconfig kernel (without all junk
      messing with code generation):
      
      	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)
      
      Unfortunately some functions actually grow bigger.
      This is a semmingly random artefact of code generation with register
      allocator being used differently. gcc decides that some variable
      needs to live in new r8+ registers and every access now requires REX
      prefix. Or it is shifted into r12, so [r12+0] addressing mode has to be
      used which is longer than [r8]
      
      However, overall balance is in negative direction:
      
      	add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 70/598 up/down: 396/-2126 (-1730)

      udp: enable busy polling for all sockets · e68b6e50
      Eric Dumazet authored
      UDP busy polling is restricted to connected UDP sockets.
      
      This is because sk_busy_loop() only takes care of one NAPI context.
      
      There are cases where it could be extended.
      
      1) Some hosts receive traffic on a single NIC, with one RX queue.
      
      2) Some applications use SO_REUSEPORT and associated BPF filter
         to split the incoming traffic on one UDP socket per RX
      queue/thread/cpu
      
      3) Some UDP sockets are used to send/receive traffic for one flow, but
      they do not bother with connect()
      
      This patch records the napi_id of first received skb, giving more
      reach to busy polling.
      
      Tested:
      
      lpaa23:~# echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
      lpaa24:~# echo 70 >/proc/sys/net/core/busy_read
      
      lpaa23:~# for f in `seq 1 10`; do ./super_netperf 1 -H lpaa24 -t UDP_RR -l 5; done
