In addition to the buffer references, SMC currently stores the sizes of the receive and send buffers in each connection as separate variables. This patch introduces a buffer length variable in the common buffer descriptor and uses this length instead.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5e-updates-2018-05-17 From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> This series addresses a regression introduced by the shared block TC changes [1]. Currently, for VF->VF and uplink->VF rules, the TC core (cls_api) attempts to offload the same flow multiple times into the driver, as a side effect of the mlx5 registration to the egdev callback. We use the flow cookie to ignore attempts to add such flows, we can't reject them (return error), b/c this will fail the offload attempt, so we ignore that. The last patch of the series deals with exposing HW stats counters through ethtool for the vport reps. Dave - the regression that we are addressing was introduced in 4.15 [1] and applies to nfp and mlx5. Jiri suggested to push driver side fixes to net-next, this is already done for nfp [2][3]. Once this is upstream, we will submit a small/point single patch fix for the TC core code which can serve for net and stable, but not carried into net-next, b/c it might limit some future use-cases.

Saeed Mahameed says: ==================== mlx5-updates-2018-05-17 mlx5 core dirver updates for both net-next and rdma-next branches. From Christophe JAILLET, first three patche to use kvfree where needed. From: Or Gerlitz <ogerlitz@mellanox.com> Next six patches from Roi and Co adds support for merged sriov e-switch which comes to serve cases where both PFs, VFs set on them and both uplinks are to be used in single v-switch SW model. When merged e-switch is supported, the per-port e-switch is logically merged into one e-switch that spans both physical ports and all the VFs. This model allows to offload TC eswitch rules between VFs belonging to different PFs (and hence have different eswitch affinity), it also sets the some of the foundations needed for uplink LAG support. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Eric Dumazet says: ==================== tcp: implement SACK compression When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time. Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks are under congestion. This patch series adds SACK compression, but the infrastructure could be leveraged to also compress ACK in the future. v2: Addressed Neal feedback. Added two sysctls to allow fine tuning, or even disabling the feature. v3: take rtt = min(srtt, rcv_rtt) as Yuchung suggested, because rcv_rtt can be over estimated for RPC (or sender limited) ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

When TCP receives an out-of-order packet, it immediately sends a SACK packet, generating network load but also forcing the receiver to send 1-MSS pathological packets, increasing its RTX queue length/depth, and thus processing time. Wifi networks suffer from this aggressive behavior, but generally speaking, all these SACK packets add fuel to the fire when networks are under congestion. This patch adds a high resolution timer and tp->compressed_ack counter. Instead of sending a SACK, we program this timer with a small delay, based on RTT and capped to 1 ms : delay = min ( 5 % of RTT, 1 ms) If subsequent SACKs need to be sent while the timer has not yet expired, we simply increment tp->compressed_ack. When timer expires, a SACK is sent with the latest information. Whenever an ACK is sent (if data is sent, or if in-order data is received) timer is canceled. Note that tcp_sack_new_ofo_skb() is able to force a SACK to be sent if the sack blocks need to be shuffled, even if the timer has not expired. A new SNMP counter is added in the following patch. Two other patches add sysctls to allow changing the 1,000,000 and 44 values that this commit hard-coded.

As explained in commit 9f9843a7 ("tcp: properly handle stretch acks in slow start"), TCP stacks have to consider how many packets are acknowledged in one single ACK, because of GRO, but also because of ACK compression or losses.

Jose Abreu says: ==================== net: stmmac: Clean-up and tune-up This targets to uniformize the handling of the different GMAC versions in stmmac_main.c file and also tune-up the HW. Currently there are some if/else conditions in the main source file which calls different callbacks depending on the ID of GMAC. With the introducion of a generic HW interface handling which automatically selects the GMAC callbacks to be used, it is now unpleasant to see if conditions in the main code because this should be completely agnostic of the GMAC version. This series removes most of these conditions. There are some if conditions that remain untouched but the callbacks handling are now uniformized. Tested in GMAC5, hope I didn't break any previous versions. Please check [1] for performance analisys of patches 3-12. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Currently, each representor netdev use their own hash table to keep the mapping from TC flow (f->cookie) to the driver offloaded instance. The table is the one which originally was added for offloading TC NIC (not eswitch) rules. This scheme breaks when the core TC code calls us to add the same flow twice, (e.g under egdev use case) since we don't spot that and offload a 2nd flow into the HW with the wrong source vport. As a pre-step to solve that, we move to use a single table which keeps all offloaded TC eswitch flows. The table is located at the eswitch uplink representor object.

The source e-switch owner allows a vport on one e-switch port be associated with a rule defined on the second port e-switch. The role of the source eswitch owner valid bit in the flow group is to allow the firmware fail driver attempts to wild card the source eswitch match field. If this bit is not set, the firmware ignores the source eswitch owner field totally.
